the tall grass sway in the wind

If only we could have a thread-specific autoreplace that changes "Sway" to "Riad n' the Bedouins"...

totally fuckin stoked for classic rock canon obviously, and i say this as a man who completely bogged down in his plans to follow obsessively several of the last couple of results threads - but this, THIS i will set aside days for, i will set alarms for.

otm

i am committed to 100% world cup. and classic rock.

and this lamp.

Amazed we've got this far without a Can poll. And Arthur Russell.

can poll: la lechera sits in a darkened room, computer screen reflected in her fixed eyes as she votes 'mother sky', clears cookies, repeats

I'd been waiting for a giant sandbox to be installed in my living room, I wanted to be able to feel sand on my feel while running the poll

what's the matter, sh1pley, got sand in yr feel?

sometimes i cross my eyes but not my t's

I'll run an Arthur Russell if there's sufficient interest.

if you mean its a terrible idea that's not worth pursuing, yes

also Duff McKagan angrily walked out very early in the process

haha

CLASSIC ROCK TRACKS POLL parking lot tailgate pre-party -- nominations, discussions, parameters, etc.

I want to withdraw from Royal Trux

OK. Should I drop it entirely or does someone else want to take that one on?

Should a single-artist poll run concurrently with Classic Rock? I don't know how long a nomination period some dude has in mind, then add 2 weeks for voting and a week for results...

Voting should start next week, I think. Seems fine to have a single artist poll overlapping imo.

when is Royal Trux supposed to run? I might be able to take that on if it's after July.

imo no harm in keeping the single artist polls running concurrently with genre/category polls

Trux is at #90, so not until late 2015 or early 2016 at our current pace.

I could start Eno today or tomorrow (busy with work now but will be pretty free in a couple of weeks when it's time to count), but Leee is ahead of me with Autechre and I want him to have first shot if he's ready to go.

I'll take the Royal Trux then xp

Cool ty sleeve

Paging Leee

Not that I'm saying the Ae poll is going to happen -- partly because of busyness, but mostly because I'm out of title puns -- but I was thinking of throwing just about everything into one single poll: Ae along with Gescom and Ae remixes, and maybe even Ae remixed by others.

so this mean Brian Eno or Chic Organization is next, nice.

OK, I'm going to try to get Eno going today.

hell yeah

Somebody point me to a poll that used a 30-track ballot -- I don't want to have to figure out the points from scratch.

Check that -- I'm just going to make it the standard 20.

It's just like the 20, but tracks 21-30 just dip into single digit values.

Oh yeah, that's right. (Been a while since I've done one of these!)

oh please do 30 for Eno!

stax was 30 iirc

Generative polling -- no two ballots are alike, 77 million combinations, etc etc -- Dead Finks Don't Vote — ILM Artist Poll #55 — BRIAN ENO

but mostly because I'm out of title puns

Some ideas:

Theme of Sudden RoundaVOTE - ILM Artist Poll #56 - Autechre
Voting Quarter - ILM Random Sounds on Top of Morphing Rhythms Poll #56 - Autechre
iv vv iv vv vii vote - ILM Anti Poll #56 - Autechre
Votemx56 - ILM Artist Poll #56 - Autechre

Could you put me down for Herbie Hancock? I have a hunch people will be really feeling Herbie Hancock in 2019 or whenever it ends up happening.

Will do!

I'm feeling Herbie right now. Time to put on some Mwandishi

yeahhhh
