!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~FINALLY - 2009 ILX Albums 'n' Trax Poll voting thread ahoy~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (VOTING CLOSED: lol Whiney)

badge of pride

Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 was NOT nominated

kudos ilx

son of a bitch...it's really annoying when people post lists of albums and tracks in nomination format when they're just recommending them, hint hint

Future Of The Left - Arming Eritrea
future of the left - arming eritrea

Ellie Goulding - Under the Sheets
Ellie Goulding - Under the Sheets

why are there so many different pill songs nominated? did whoever nominated them think that anyone else was going to vote for something other than 'trap goin ham'?

btw I will crosscheck for any dupe noms for a "The such-and-such" and "[dropped The] such-and-such" shortly, I'm sure there are a few that need to be removed...

Brad Paisley - Welcome To The Future
Brad Paisley - Welcome to the Future

Burial - Fostercare
Burial - Fostercare

the-dream - sweat it out was nominated but is not in the tracks list

!~!~!~!~!~BOOM BOOM ALBUMS N TRAX POLL 2009: NOMINATIONS due Dec 31~!~!~!~!~!

Pictureplane - Goth Star
Pictureplane - Gothstar

Lindstrom and Christabelle - Baby Can't Stop (Aeroplane dub)
Lindstrom and Christabelle - Baby Can't Stop (Aeroplane remix)

on second thought, those may be different

some noms were posted after some casual talk of a decade poll. so there are a few albums that should be removed:

Bob Drake - The Skull Mailbox (2002)
Roddy Frame - Surf (2004)
Life Without Buildings - Any Other City (2000)

and some trax:

Mint Royale ft. Lauren Laverne - Don't Falter (2000)
Louis Philippe - Fires Rise and Die (2004)
Chris Eckman - Healing Waters of the Flood (2004)
My Favorite - The Happiest Days of My Life (2003)
Smoosh - Find a Way (2006)

as far as I can tell the 2 lindstrom/christabelle/aeroplane are the same

Animal Collective "My Girls" nominated for trax, missing from final list.

Ekkehard`Ehlers - Ballads should be: Ekkehard Ehlers & Paul Wirkus - Ballads

The Flaming Lips "Watching the Planets" also missing from final TRAX nominations list (this was my submission, there's no way I won't vote for the darn thing).

Lindstrom - Wherever You Go I Go Too

this is 2008

^ not only that, but it was #2 in the 2008 albums poll.

if it was beaten by sound of fucking silver i wish i'd heard it sooner

oh wait it was portishead wasn't it? in which case a most booming top 2

sound of silver was 2007 I CAN'T REMEMBER CAN I

lol hercules and love affair came 2nd and lindstrom 3rd, a triumph for albums that take half a year to date and eight months for everybody to completely forget

Royksopp - The Girl and The Robot
Royksopp feat Robyn - The Girl and the Robot

xp lol I guess my #2 memory was wishful thinking due to never liking the H&LA album.

The Flaming Lips "Watching the Planets" also missing from final TRAX nominations list (this was my submission, there's no way I won't vote for the darn thing).

Scratch this, I found it alphabetized under "The" instead of "Flaming" and got my votes finished. Still, Animal Collective "My Girls" is still missing and was nominated. I didn't vote for it but I'm sure some folks will want to do so...

Animal Collective "My Girls" nominated for trax, missing from final list.

that was on someone's list when they originally nominated about 50 things, when he redid his list he didn't include it.

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor)

see Flaming Lips, The, it's on there

and I think dub and remix can be two distinct things, I mean it's basically nominating the instrumental but since it doesn't add much complication and it doesn't split the vote I don't have a problem with allowing both to be nominated.

No way... I would have included it in my noms, had I known. Pretty "significant" record that is going to be shut out of the ILX poll, I guess.

Fever Ray: "Keep The Streets Empty For Me" was nominated, although I think it was written as "Leave The Streets...", which might have thrown you off, musically.

that was another of the over-noms that was cut. yes, i agree, it does suck. i don't have a huge problem adding the ones that were cut except that it's not fair to people who actually read the rules and limited themselves to 15 nominations.

afaict there is no seperate instrumental, those are one and the same

someone correct me if I'm wrong on that count

http://www.discogs.com/Lindstrøm-and-Christabelle-Baby-Cant-Stop-EP/release/1995601

yeah, I guess if it doesn't exist then it should be taken off...

My Baby Can't Stop EP has an Aeroplane Vocal Mix and an Aeroplane Dub Mix along with the Idjut Boys Remix and the Radio Edit and the Album Version so I would hazard that they are distinct things.

"my girls" not being on the trax list is hilarious

xp guys doesnt matter.....vote for one they all get counted as the same

xp: okay, I think that settles it. they should both be on the list

hmm... the "my girls" thing is kinda annoying for those of us who just did a quick crtl-f of the nominations thread to see what had already been nominated.

loooooooooool

I added Animal Collective - My Girls and Fever Ray - Keep The Streets Empty For Me, I don't want something popular to be left off on a technicality, in the future I'll make sure that the entire post is removed so people don't see it.

and Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Real Life Is No Cool is 2010, true or false? All signs I am seeing point to 2010 release, not 2009...

Correct. It was apparently available to a select few through Rough Trade in the last week or two of 2009, but it's official release wasn't until 2010.

ya that really shouldn't be on there, i don't think.

haaa i think you did the right thing musically re "my girls" but it would have been v funny if you held out

I was enjoying that even more the lack of Blueprint 3.

Hey, so noting that I've missed a lot of stuff—Last year, my top three were The OhSees, Black Mountain and Indian Jewelry. Since I love the new OhSees album, what else might I have missed that I'd really love off this list?

That Toro Y Moi album is 2010, btw. It leaked in December or something, but it's not official until Feb or so of this year.

Cass McCombs - Dropping the Writ (this is from 2007).

Wait, I just assumed it was 11:59 pm PST (so 2:59 am EST)?

End of the day for wherever, I guess, with the absolute latest ballots being counted if received before 11:59 PST.

i didn't want people to have to convert PST to their time, so just submit it while it's the 22nd where you are. I won't be doing the calculations at midnight anyway so i don't care.

Agreed about the Major Lazer "Pon de floor" omission, also "Hold the Line"

Easy for me to run stats for you, if you'd like, musically. Drop me a note (glenn at furia dot com) if you're interested...

which stats are you referring to?

start reading here !!!!!!!! ILX METAL ALBUMS of 2009 POLL RESULTS!!!!!! (TOP TEN! LAST CHANCE TO DECRY FALSE METAL m/!)

i personally think it's awesome

So… I only paid money (which I consider the base level of actual YES! interest in music anymore) for 18 albums out of the list, but at least I got a ballot in. A thin, lonely ballot that won't change anything, but hey, I voted for Nader.

Sorry, Oneida and Sunn O)))! Too many good albums in 2009 and more than 20 I still want to hear.

Oneida is top ten, though... :'(

musically I tried to webmail u

steveshastaATgoogle'sfreewebmailservice.corn

how many people voted this year musically?

i hope ILX was able to break the 100 person mark this year.

i considered voting for spc-eco's "shine on down" for a minute!
