the kick inside - 0lionheart - 0never for ever - 2the dreaming - 4hounds of love - 3the sensual world - 2the red shoes - 3aerial - 4
director's cut - 150 words for snow - 0non-album - 1

intense kate bush listening marathons that led to that list also made me realize i like the red shoes a lot more than the sensual world

I have given up. I started to think about a week ago that there was no way I would manage it and I have proved myself right. Every time I listen to an album I completely rewrite the ballot.

NTI - you've listed the same song at nos. 9 and 13 - pick another no.13 please
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 25 August 2012 21:05 (eleven years ago) link
goddammit. i just realized i sent in a list of 22 songs. which i suppose just means that the bottom 2 get cut. thinking about losing those two makes me second guess the end of my list, which makes me second guess the rest of my list, but fuggit. what's done is done. just cut those last two off IK.
― i know your nuts hurt! who's laughing? (contenderizer), Saturday, 25 August 2012 21:21 (eleven years ago) link
Sent in my ballot! Yay!
Wish Bimble would've still been around to take part in this, fuck :-(
― Le Bateau Ivre, Saturday, 25 August 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
xp yes, I just cut the last two off. Quite a few people have submitted five albums, rather than three, and I've done the same there

I'm going to sleep now. I'll close voting when I get up in the morning.

ha genuinely didn't realize that breakdown until i typed it out up there - my top 25 had two from red shoes and one from 50 words of snow (the one about YETI). NEVER would've pegged me for a sensual world dork before this (still don't really - dreaming all the way), felt vaguely challopsy putting it in my top 3 albums.

I know. I've done the adding up and now I know exactly how I should've voted.
How long a countdown do we want? A hundred songs have received votes; there are natural breaks at nos. 15, 25 and 50.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 26 August 2012 14:06 (eleven years ago) link
how many ballots? i'd say 50
― balls, Sunday, 26 August 2012 14:10 (eleven years ago) link
36 ballots
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 26 August 2012 14:12 (eleven years ago) link
That's a pretty good turnout, I was worried there'd be fewer than 20.
― Bobby-fil-A (WmC), Sunday, 26 August 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
Yes it's excellent, we did really well. Twenty was my basic target and I got twelve in the first few days, so I knew not to panic when I then went about three days with nothing. And I got eleven yesterday and three more overnight, so you really stepped up at the end, thanks.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 26 August 2012 14:24 (eleven years ago) link
And it was only nine days, no need to drag these out unduly.

took a short road trip with a family of friends this afternoon and picked ipod tracks as we drove around. among other things, i played "violin" off N4E - mostly because i'm obsessed with it, but also cuz mr. friend is a "weird music" fan and had mentioned that he only knew kate bush through "don't give up." he dug it a lot, and mrs. friend thought the vocal swoops were hilarious, but man, their five-year-old daughter just HATED it. complained at first, then plugged her ears the way through. nothing else bugged her, either. she seemed to enjoy sonic youth, fall out boy (a lot), grimes and lindstrom. felt kinda bad for her, but it's good to learn young that art = suffering.

haha, i'm not surprised that a kid would dislike that song, it's pretty abrasive in it's own way
