wasn't last year's ballot mailing not done until December too?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 19:36 (nine years ago)
Yes, it's still on. I don't have anything to do with it until after voting closes, but I know ballots haven't gone out yet, so nobody has missed anything.
― glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 19:38 (nine years ago)
cool, thanks!

CHristgau is writing for the Voice again. I wonder if he'll be involved
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 19:55 (nine years ago)
thanks! (for some reason I keep thinking the initial email comes out in november)

Whoa! The Voice hired Xgau back?! Why wasn't this bigger news?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 2 December 2016 01:15 (nine years ago)
Last year's ballot showed up Dec. 4, so they're not running late.
― dow, Friday, 2 December 2016 02:03 (nine years ago)
I swear, every other year when I try to vote I encounter some sort of technical crap that makes it impossible, then I wind up having to re-enter everything.
― Crazy Eddie & Jesus the Kid (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 2 December 2016 22:21 (nine years ago)
(Sorry, that sounded bratty, given everything happening right now)
― Crazy Eddie & Jesus the Kid (Raymond Cummings), Friday, 2 December 2016 22:27 (nine years ago)
Ballot arrived today. I'll probably submit the same top 10 I sent The Wire.
― Don Van Gorp, midwest regional VP, marketing (誤訳侮辱), Friday, 2 December 2016 22:55 (nine years ago)
did not expect to get a ballot from someone I know from ifmud

"Welcome to the Village Voice's annual Music Critics Poll (formerly known as Pazz + Jop)"
RIP Pazz + Jop
― geoffreyess, Saturday, 3 December 2016 02:09 (nine years ago)
Why would you fuck with the name? Especially for generic ass one?
― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Saturday, 3 December 2016 20:49 (nine years ago)
"NFL Annual Championship Game Between the American and National Football Conferences"
Probably some unhip marketing person going "what's a Pazz"? What's a Jop?" No one knows what means.
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 3 December 2016 21:17 (nine years ago)
what that means
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 3 December 2016 21:18 (nine years ago)
Good for them. "Pazz and Jop" is a fucking terrible name.
― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 3 December 2016 22:58 (nine years ago)

whereas the hip marketing person is strutting around like 'Pazz! Jop! Zappatypow! Hoobalooba! Ramalama shakkow! Zump! Haha'
― sleepingbag, Saturday, 3 December 2016 23:11 (nine years ago)
i agree that pazz & jop was always an awful name
― dyl, Sunday, 4 December 2016 01:25 (nine years ago)
it had a shred or two of character though
who gives a fuck about the annual Music Critics Poll
― qualx, Sunday, 4 December 2016 02:53 (nine years ago)
Yeah, if anything, now it sounds LESS interesting.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 4 December 2016 02:55 (nine years ago)
anyway i have no idea how i'm still getting invited to participate, i haven't done any music writing in years and i could've sworn there was a point where they were like "please resubmit your credentials" or w/e, maybe not
― qualx, Sunday, 4 December 2016 02:55 (nine years ago)
I voted for either 2 years or maybe 3 years in the mid-00s, and then one year nobody sent me a ballot and I never bothered to find out why because I'm lazy. And now it's been a really long time since I've written anything anywhere.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 4 December 2016 02:58 (nine years ago)
Is there a VV contact more responsive and/or less inundated than the generic address through which the ballots are sent? Trying to get a colleague added to the mix.
― Andy K, Friday, 9 December 2016 15:03 (nine years ago)
Neil deMause, the Special features editor is listed on the email that was sent out but not his email
His about page just gives a form link to send messages to a general box I think

deadline in 4 hours
― alpine static, Saturday, 24 December 2016 01:06 (nine years ago)
submitted an hour late because I suck, hope it's counted
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Saturday, 24 December 2016 06:23 (nine years ago)
I submitted late too. Nous verons.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 24 December 2016 13:30 (nine years ago)
perhaps it will be for the best if it isn't counted, I forgot to put swan song series on it
― a self-reinforcing downward spiral of male-centric indie (katherine), Sunday, 25 December 2016 03:04 (nine years ago)
Heck, I forgot to *listen* to Swan Song Series. It's not every year Tanya Donelly and Kristin Hersh both release insanely long albums, and I barely got to either :(
― geoffreyess, Sunday, 25 December 2016 21:01 (nine years ago)
Results tomorrow?
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 10 January 2017 19:37 (nine years ago)
No, it'll be in the 1/25 issue this year.
― glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 11 January 2017 15:01 (nine years ago)
Two more weeks, gotcha.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 11 January 2017 16:09 (nine years ago)
So we won't be able to put P+J placings in the tracks poll images? What a disaster for tradition :(

David Bowie- Blackstar tops the albums
and Beyoncé "Formation" tops the tracks
my comment about Tiwa Savage (featuring Dr. Sid) afropop/afrobeats track made it!
Maura, Greg Tate and SFJ have essays

Not Pazz & Jop 2016
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)
So they didn't change the name.
― Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 25 January 2017 23:55 (nine years ago)
I know this is even earlier, but there have been some... "developments" is exactly the opposite of the wrong word, at the Voice this year
so, uh, is this still happening

My sources say: Yes.

But voting may be a lot earlier than in past years, and for scheduling reasons I may not be involved...
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 20 November 2017 21:19 (eight years ago)
why are the results for past polls impossible to find on the voice's site now?
