review of nominations and VOTING for (very nebulously defined) ELECTRONIC DANCE TRACKS of the 00s

i look at that and see ALPHA WAVELENGTH WAVELENGTH, also i think density / resistivity before i think rho

late great is there any particular format you'd like the ballots in other than 1 - 50?

Sent off my ballot, now's when I remember all the great stuff that wasn't on there.

Is posting of ballots kosher? Or would that just take up too much space?

think there's three or four things in your list i'm voting for too

i'm predicting daft punk's gonna take this one

They are the only group aside from Metro Area that I've consistently listened to over the last 12 years.

lol dont post ballots it ruins the surprise!!!

anyway sent mine in

henrik schwarz name is misspelled a couple of times once on 'where we at' and on 'leave my head alone brain'

cool will fix

lol dont post ballots it ruins the surprise!!!

^ good point!

i still listen to DP but only early banging stuff, not discovery or post-discovery. i don't really listen to metro area anymore but i like them in theory, i guess.

Well anyone who saw what I was nominating wouldn't be that surprised.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

Yeah, I'm mostly about Homework.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

idk i voted for 5 your picks and different traxx by a few other artists ::shrug:: voting for really idiosyncratic or perverse stuff is p w/e anyway w/ these things

ok pete tong added greek scramble to the list and fixed three henrik schwarz typos. let him know what else he can do to make your poll experience better.

I guess its too late to pretend that I've been listening to exclusively Underground Quality and FXHE 12's over the last 10 years.

My pipecock credentials are in ruins.

I'm going to go put on my hair shirt and listen to Hieroglyphic Being until my ears bleed.

i don't think your taste is middlebrow! it's just not the same as what i'm going to be voting for.

now validate my taste

I'm just kidding, don't worry about it. Suppose I feel a little self conscious considering how much my taste has changed.

I tried to vote for what I actually liked and played out over the last 5 to 7 years over what I'm listening to now.

I'm sure your list is incredibly tasteful yet approachable Lamp.

v there's a 'sound stream' and 'soundstream' on the spreadsheet, also for the latter the track '"live" goes on' is listed twice (but one without the quotation marks).

Sorry if I'm dumb, but how the hell do you copy & paste the full list from the Google spreadsheet to Word or some other text editor?

Also, the list still includes "Knights of the Jaguar", which came out in 1999.

ctrl+c instead of right-click, worked for me (in Excel)

Yeah, I nommed a Greek house tune by Αλλού, it's a collab between Savvas Ysatis and some other guy, and it's really dope (basically these half-spoken, half sung, kinda sleazy sounding vocals on top of deep and minimalist house beat). I used the Greeks letter because I don't how to translitterate them, the record sleeve has only Greek text. Here's Discogs link to the album, the track is called Όνειρα. Maybe someone here knows how to write it in Western alphabet?

Kind've curious to hear this, Tuomas - is it on YouTube, or could you upload it to YT? Couldn't find it, but my Greek is about as good as you'd expect for someone from NZ.

whoever is responsible for panda bear "bros" in this playlist, i've got your number

Henrik Schwarz - Stop Look And Listen
Rhythm And Sound - Poor People Must Work (Carl Craig Remix)
Martyn - Seventy Four (Redshape Mix)
Panda Bear - Bros
The Field - Kappsta

maarten! MAARTEN

Didn't we already go through a doc and make comments and amendments, has that been lost? I think I flagged a few from the 90s.

i see jaymc nominated this terrible digitalism track

flag them again!

2) any of these are terrible gay homo awful NON-house music and should be removed from ballet for indie-friendliness

― the late great

House music is very rooted in gay culture so I don't think starting the poll by using homo and gay as derogatory terms is adequate.

Error in:

boy 8 - bit

It should read: Boy 8 Bit - Suspense is Killing Me

as a derogatory gay i find 'gay culture' more derogatory than any joke the lovely late great makes. i didn't realize we could flag tracks from the poll, i was just talking about the spotify playlist linked to above, which is mostly great.

Gay.

Idiot.

What? I thought we were joking.

Tedious idiot.

Baited.

Doubled:

Ricardo Villalobos - Easy Lee
Villalobos - Easy Lee

House of House - Rushing to Paradise

Minilogue - The Girl from Botany Bay

just to make things clear

"terrible gay homo awful house music"

^^ is a meme from past dance threads, i think it was something ronan first said which then got picked up by others, cf

awful gay, political deep house music.

― what U cry 4 (jim), Wednesday, December 17, 2008

from the dj sprinkles thread

no homophobia intended, sorry if anyone not in on the joke was offended

now i am not sure if moka was in on the joke or not but just in case anyone is lurking, some of my best friends are gay

The meme actually came from Chaki's putdown of house music in some unrelated post.

ah yes

passion (sometimes misinterpreted as crankiness) is what makes life worth living. without it you are a sting fan with milquetoast posting style or end up listening to gay, awful, horrible, house music all the time.

― chaki, Friday, March 28, 2008 4:16 PM

I was joking. I suck at textual humor.

50 is too few options btw, I ended up with a 160 song shortlist. Ballot complete and sent.

I just realized I actually nominated the wrong Αλλού track, as I nommed it without listening to the album. The Late Great, can you change my nomination from "Αλλού - Όνειρα" to "Αλλού - Γυμνή Φωτογραφία". Thanks! (Not that I think many people are gonna vote for it, but just to be sure.)

Etc, I don't have a Youtube account, but you can find the track here. (That's the actual track I meant to nominate, not the wrong one.)

T✧✧.ESSENT✧✧✧.M✧✧.7✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧

I don't get the address :S is the first part t.esst.m.7 or tesstm7?

i mean t.essent.m.7 or tessentm7?

vahid!

It's Friday!

extremely busy weeks...totally forgot to vote. oh well...

rusty: vahid still hasn't sent me his ballot and I don't want to leave him out of this since it's his thing, so maybe you're still in time to send me one throughout the day.

graphic looks good!

skip me

You'd be number 50. Oh the irony.

do it vahid!

this is necessary

ok ok i sent my ballot in

i also forwarded a ballot from dog latin

uh oh you 51'd the poll

Nah dog latin send me his already, he's still number 50. Whats the irony of it? I don't get it.

Anyhoo that's it, we're closing at 50. No más ballots.

i think the irony is late was shooting for 50 ballots and by not submitting himself he would have left this on 49. anyway, yay, nice one moka, phew. epic.

I figured the irony was he wasn't going to submit a ballot despite originally being the one who was going to be counting the votes.

maybe a mixture of the two.

i think the 'joke' was that 51 was/is a rather notorious # for ilx because it was threshold for suggest ban so that voting 51x meant that the poll is banned from ilx or w/e

SO MANY JOKES

Uh, I was referencing V's desire for 50 voters. But all that other stuff too, yeah.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

v's beloved childhood pet died when a towering stack of 50 ballots collapsed upon it. the 50th ballot, the one that caused the tragic topple, was vahid's own.

you told me she ran away!!!

meanwhile you were burying her in the backyard

that was cold, mom

true story (mine was not quite as long-haired and also more golden)

I've only just noticed the results are rolling out, would have been good for a link to have appeared here:
