Pazz and Jop.

My login isn't working. I emailed them. Hope they fix it tomorrow... :(

(xpost) Good job. If they print your comments and not mine, though, I take it all back.

clemenza, I just sent you a Facebook friend request. Would like to see about fixing my P&J issues.

Thanks!

Didn't get it--in any event, I'm just a voter and don't have anything to do with the Voice or the poll. You're supposed to e-mail them directly, no? They must keep regular hours today. I didn't have any trouble with my own code.

Sorry, I thought you were more involved. Never mind.

I'm about as less-involved as it gets.

I emailed them wrt my log-in issues just a few days ago and they had me straightened out in a matter of a few hours.

*fingers crossed*

error here, just emailed them

evol j - did they just say "try again" or did they tell you to do something different, like, idk, "type your number, don't copy/paste it" or something like that?

they gave me a new ID number.

Now that I read this thread, I think they are sending out new ID numbers although I have an apostrophe in my name which often fouls up internet forms such as this.

Yeah, a new ID did the trick. Go me.

my ID doesn't work either -- hopefully it isn't too late to get it fixed

i wrote them like 3 hours ago and got it fixed, you'll be fine

yeah, they just emailed back

(six minutes ago)

Sorry, I thought you were more involved. Never mind.

you guys could still be friends tho

Well, my friend request was still there.

No pressure though.

I emailed on Xmas evening, got a response the next morning.

Anyone know when it's running? I threw out my email which might have had that information and I am too lazy to scroll up and see if someone mentioned it.

Film ballots were due last week, so I'm not really sure. I expected that poll's results this week.

I got an email about an unveiling event in New York this coming Thursday. Instead of canceling the poll they're going all out! Complimentary beverages will be served.

Took a quick look to see if the poll was up, and I was baffled by the current layout. I had to go through three screens to find a music piece. Unless I'm not navigating correctly, there doesn't seem to be a music section anymore. There doesn't seem to be sections of any kind anymore.

hover over "the culture" >> click on "music" in the subnav >> music stories

granted, they should really move that subnav w/ "film tv music theater" up above the three features articles. that would make a lot more sense (to me, who is not a website designer)

*featured not features

lmao

as a former social media editor, just posting the number ones on twitter is such a boring move. thread the respective top tens, or release some saucy ballots ahead of time even.

olol

yello > bodak yellow

boDAMN yellow

2.5 hours ago, and these tweets only have like 5 retweets and 5 likes. I don't know if that says something about the Village Voice these days, or the state of music criticism, or what. Also, the #sonosstorenyc hashtag is super lame.

I went to the thing because it's about two blocks from my office and why not, and the vibe was super weird, starting with the whole thing taking place beneath a large alexa ad

what was "the thing"

there was a “launch event” panel discussion

they got christgau, surprisingly(?)

Not with a Bangs, but with a Twitter.

Hi Katherine, Maura, did the thingers happen to mention when the results will be posted? Found Music Event etc. listings just now pretty easily, but didn't see anything about issue (or whatever we should call it now) date---seems like if it's worth a launch event, worth mentioning on site---a video coming at me or whatever.

a facebook post from another attendee indicated that the results would be up early next week.

they said monday, no idea if that means "actually monday" or "we're gonna try"

^guess it was the latter

Wow, Girlpool didn't even make the top 100.

Participation must've been low? "Damn" was the clear favorite and still won with the least points since "whokill." "Bodak Yellow" won with the least # of votes since... Quad City DJs!

spoke too soon! https://www.villagevoice.com/2018/01/22/pazz-jop-the-top-albums-and-singles-of-2017/

Nice to see Slowdive make the Top Ten!

is this going to be the first time in 20 years that they don't allow the results to be fully explored online? (i.e. browsing full ballots, seeing who voted for each song/album, etc.)

"allow"

Poring over ballots is the only thrill I get from P+J.

Seems like there have been times when elements gradually appeared online----but meanwhile, screw it here's mine (post y'alls!)
