Dear Van Horn Street,
There was no email for you given in the ilx mail you sent, but the answer to your question is "Creating the nominations list is an imperfect exercise, and I'm sorry if I missed a nom of yours. You can still vote it as a write-in, but adding it to the main list 50% of the way through the voting period wouldn't help matters. People have already submitted ballots."
Thx,J Feves

Ah fuck I was super busy and I didn't get to nominate songs like XX - Replica or Migos - Stir Fry which I thought would be nominated for sure. Ok I'll work with what we have.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 12 January 2018 22:57 (six years ago) link
^it was also surprising to me that The XX - On Hold and Migos - Bad and Boujee weren't nominated
― Dan S, Friday, 12 January 2018 23:20 (six years ago) link
the trax list is full of great stuff though
― Dan S, Friday, 12 January 2018 23:23 (six years ago) link
Bad & Boujee made last year, was ineligible

Everything is Recorded - close but not quite and Mustn't Hurry by Fever Ray are also not there :S should have nominated.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 13 January 2018 00:32 (six years ago) link
on hold placed last year too
― ufo, Saturday, 13 January 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link
i'm gonna do at least one write-in b/c I didn't nominate The Myrrors' album.

I'm guessing Migos - Stir Fry could do quite well next year.

Oof. I should've listened to this Jane Weaver album before I voted.

I'm submitting separate ballots for albums (straightforward, sending now) and tracks (much whittling still required) again this year. Assume that's OK?

a bit of discussion about this upthread i realise but is it possible to re-submit a ballot?
― monotony, Wednesday, 17 January 2018 06:56 (six years ago) link
the mount eerie record is making the whole ranking process feel especially gauche and inadequate. having a mixed list with 24 ranked and it on the end is the same as just putting it at 25, right?

You can do that. Just mention it in the thread after you've done so.

I just want to register my disappointment, though - and I know this is my fault for not nominating - that Logic's 1-800-273-8255 and Migos' Bad and Boujee were not choices on the tracks poll. Horrible oversight IMO.

Submitted with 3 minutes to spare! god i can't wait to look at that ballot in literally a week and go "what was i DOING".
(also i had to write two tracks in - i'm sorry i just had no mental space this past month to think of things that may be forgotten, i just assumed those with better taste than me would have nominated them!)
TYTYTY for running this! :D

Technically, voting is now closed, but if you get a ballot in before seandalai says "stop," it'll be counted.

voted just night but just realised that i copied my album votes from a personal list and not the proper noms list (had meant to fix that but forgot). i think that most things should match but there may be a couple of things that don't exactly match. sorry, was totally my fault - happy to email a corrected version. my tracks ballot should be fine though

Phew, I managed to get a ballot in just a few hours before it stopped :) Then I fell asleep again.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 20 January 2018 11:04 (six years ago) link
I noticed that The Clientele - Music From The Age Of Miracles is named incorrectly on the album list (because of me getting the name wrong when I nominated it). I'm not sure it's going to be an issue really, but just in case it does place, it should be Music For The Age Of Miracles.

I didn't get a confirmation either. I didn't even realize how close to the deadline I was voting last night. I've been putting it off because I liked so many albums from this year (a bunch only discovered in the last few weeks). Wasn't happy with my tracks ballot but I was avoiding voting for any from albums I voted for.
