I think I ended up with 3 Utopia tracks myself. Most of the main albums contributed at least 3 tracks, and a lot of 90s tracks were displaced (eg. Debut era singles didn't figure at all in the end) by stuff I didn't fully appreciate three weeks ago. I'm much better informed now, and more of a fan overall.

Maximum big surprise! (Nag! Nag! Nag!), Saturday, 28 April 2018 13:40 (eight years ago)

These are the 32 ballots I've received and counted. If your name/username/something that looks familiar to you isn't below, I don't currently believe I have your ballot. There's still time!

Uppercase (Eric H.), Sunday, 29 April 2018 18:54 (eight years ago)

Great song to listen to while discussing and thinking about incels: Army of Me by Björk.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 29 April 2018 20:48 (eight years ago)

Ha that was meant for the masculinity thread in ILE.

Van Horn Street, Sunday, 29 April 2018 20:48 (eight years ago)

Best use of the "When The Levee Breaks" beat? I'd go with "Army of Me". . .

Soundslike, Sunday, 29 April 2018 21:01 (eight years ago)

Can I still send a ballot? Been super busy but mught have some free time tomorrow if it’s not closed yet.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 30 April 2018 05:54 (eight years ago)

Same. Returned from conference.

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 30 April 2018 11:46 (eight years ago)

Yes and yes. Not ready to supply the results just yet

Uppercase (Eric H.), Monday, 30 April 2018 12:09 (eight years ago)

If that's the case I'll throw one together in four hours <3

Whenever my partner walks our dog in the early morning, our cat cries and cries while they’re out, almost non-stop. It’s really annoying. We’ve figured out that the he’s crying because he misses our dog. And now whenever this happens I get ‘Hyperballad’ stuck in my head, every time.

Karl Malone, Monday, 30 April 2018 13:54 (eight years ago)

omg

...so I can feel meowier
To be safe up here with you...

Karl Malone, Monday, 30 April 2018 14:02 (eight years ago)

Also the whole first verse is very much about Ralph because he’s constantly knocking shit off our countertops (like car-parts, bottles, and cutlery). Ok, I’ll stop talking about my cat now but trust me it’s good

Karl Malone, Monday, 30 April 2018 14:05 (eight years ago)

If I get ballots from Le Bateau Ivre, Alfred and Moka, that'll bring the total to 39. Just shy of Smashing Pumpkins' 40.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Monday, 30 April 2018 18:33 (eight years ago)

Voted!

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 30 April 2018 19:10 (eight years ago)

Cant believe that Smashing Pumpkins got 40 votes when they only have two good songs (Disarm and Bullet With Butterfly Wings, obviously)

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 30 April 2018 19:50 (eight years ago)

Y'all would've loved Emily Mackay's paper I heard at MoPOP this weekend:

"From ingenue to strap-on dildo: Björk’s adventures in gender"

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 30 April 2018 19:50 (eight years ago)

Ooh! I’m halfway through her book on Homogenic, but nothing about dildos yet!

incel elgort (cryptosicko), Monday, 30 April 2018 20:31 (eight years ago)

Now just waiting on Moka's ballot. (And any other lurkers. Especially if they vote for my favorites.)

Uppercase (Eric H.), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 18:15 (eight years ago)

Did you receive my ballot ok, Eric? Just checking. All your favorites are on it, I'm sure.

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 19:58 (eight years ago)

I did receive it, thank you!

Uppercase (Eric H.), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 20:01 (eight years ago)

Updated list of ballots counted. If your name/username isn't below, then I don't believe I received your ballot.

Van Horn Street, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 20:23 (eight years ago)

ogmor, Tuesday, 1 May 2018 21:24 (eight years ago)

Phew didn’t have time to go through the last albums but ballot finally sent

✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 1 May 2018 21:37 (eight years ago)

It wouldn't be the same without you Moka <3

^^^ my favorite video on the internet

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 01:25 (eight years ago)

lol

Dan S, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 01:36 (eight years ago)

Mika’s ballot in plus one more, bringing the total to 40! With that I’ll unofficially close balloting.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 12:02 (eight years ago)

40 ballots, that's impressive!

lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 12:10 (eight years ago)

I'm violently happy with the turnout.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 12:59 (eight years ago)

Can't wait for the results and to see individual ballots!

ˈʌglɪɪst preɪ, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 13:18 (eight years ago)

How many ballots do ILX polls typically get? I don't think I've participated in one in years

the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 14:22 (eight years ago)

low of around 20, high of around 50 iirc

sleeve, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 14:23 (eight years ago)

I ran Stevie Wonder and it got something like 30 ballots.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 15:58 (eight years ago)

Madonna poll, which I still consider the gold standard, had 57 ballots.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 16:07 (eight years ago)

lol i think that was the last one i did

the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 16:16 (eight years ago)

Madonna poll was immense – much the best yet.

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 16:26 (eight years ago)

Totally; I can't really think of many other artists who have such an immense career catalogue.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 16:28 (eight years ago)

OK, so I still need to verify everyone's ballot as being accurate in my spreadsheet. I expect results can start next week.

Uppercase (Eric H.), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 19:42 (eight years ago)

if "Karvel" and "Domestica" doesn't place I'm deleting ILX.

the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 20:02 (eight years ago)

Domestica is in my top 10 so hopefully there’s more of us.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 20:35 (eight years ago)

Forgot about Karvel goddamit. That one is amazing.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 20:36 (eight years ago)

What’s the thread title going to be? Venus as a Poll / My love is a Poll / Poll is full of love / something else?

Tim F, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 21:23 (eight years ago)

'Ilxor Behaviour' would be a refreshing 'poll'-less title.
