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

Ha that was meant for the masculinity thread in ILE.

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

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

Same. Returned from conference.

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

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.

omg

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

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

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

Voted!

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

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"

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

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

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

I did receive it, thank you!

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

^^^ my favorite video on the internet

lol

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

40 ballots, that's impressive!

I'm violently happy with the turnout.

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

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

low of around 20, high of around 50 iirc

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

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

lol i think that was the last one i did

Madonna poll was immense – much the best yet.

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

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

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

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

Forgot about Karvel goddamit. That one is amazing.

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

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

I definitely think the opening post could quote liberally from “Human Behaviour”: you better be ready to get confused / there’s definitely definitely definitely no logic / but oh to get involved in the exchange...

'Hyperballot' was an another excellent early suggestion.

^^^^^ yes

It should be Hyperballot, yes.
