ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

(you can see why i get someone else to help out with the forms side lol )

That wouldn't have been very epic of me!

Oh hey, sorry I'm not on ILX much as I used to be...Anyway, it's really easy to make a Google Form to log the ballots (go to Google Docs and select New->Form iirc), though you do have to create a new one each time.

The code I use for tabulating big polls is not particularly user-friendly (though I should put it up on github or somewhere anyway), I think the Excel spreadsheet is going to be be much easier to use. Happy to answer questions though.

I am really bad at math and don't know Excel at all but I had no trouble running the Elvis Costello poll using the spreadsheet.

ok, I finally got the voting thread set up. If anybody wants to come check it out and also vote (pleeeeassse!!) its here:
The ILM Extreme Metal Poll Voting, Discussion and Campaigning Thread

Can someone set up a P.O. Box for those of us who wish to vote, but don't have a computer?

lol

Are Gukbe and Billy Dods around at the moment? Would be happy to get the Nirvana poll going but don't want to jump the queue.

If you wouldn't mind I would jump the queue

Nirvana poll pleez! So so stoked for that one

obviously everyone is eager for someone to jump the queue

Jump the queue! I'm still mired in life muck.

Let's start a new poll. I'm sure the extreme metal one is absolutely dynamite but it is taking a long time and life is short.

OK cool, I'll get the Nirvana one going.

entertain us!

Hey Shakey can you sign me up for a Soundgarden poll?

(i love how he's been Οὖτις for like a year and a half and everyone calls him shakey)

nobody calls him Οὖτις!

it involves having to copy and paste for a start!

nobody calls him Οὖτις!

ISWYDT... I think.

Has there been a bjork poll?

Nvm I just discovered find In page on my android phone. So many good ones coming up! I might submit my first ILX ballot that isn't about video games

Still impatiently waiting to run that Bjork poll, yeah.

Extreme metal is still in progress, right?

yes it is, i forgot about it since i didn't see it on the first page.

Let's get the next one started. Metal is a separate slow track.

seems like it should be one of these:

Stephin Merritt - Gukbe
Fairport Convention et al (R Thompson, S Denny) - Billy Dods
Nirvana - Gavin, Leeds (finished) and added to queue))
Can - Z S
Tom Petty - rogermexico
Jimi Hendrix - some dude

i would be up for doing the Hendrix poll in Jan or Feb

hmm... are we feeling petty this holiday season?

not to jump the line. i'd love to spend a couple weeks with any of the acts on that list before we quiet down for christmas.

It is time for a Duke Ellington poll, somebody!

Petty would be awesome whenever it happens

Petty would be interesting i might vote in that one

Would be totally up for participating in an Ellington poll: would it be a poll of recordings or compositions?

Would consider running a Cage or Stockhausen or Reich poll if people were up for it.

Let's do Tom Petty

what do you say, tom?

saying it now: if American Girl wins that will be lame

all righty! should we open it over the US thanksgiving holiday?

I'm into the Petty poll! Kick it off asap imo

awesome. I'm a little jammed up this weekend but I'll try to get the voting thread opened by Sunday evening

shakey this is going to be a very tough ballot to handicap!

aw man i already used the best possible title: THE RATING IS THE HARDEST PART: Tom Petty HARD PROMISES POLL

just get to the point and poll another joint
