wonder what the chance is a deep cut wins this.

campreverb, Tuesday, 6 November 2018 14:54 (five years ago) link

That would be nice if that happened. I've certainly done my bit for Topaz.

Bouncing off the Satellites seems to rate pretty highly around here (and "here" is ILM) so I would think it's a distinct possibility.

Hey everyone, voting is extended until to this Saturday!

I’ll calculate the final tally on Sunday, then we’ll do the rollout on Monday and Tuesday. Sound good?

Also, if anyone has ideas for the title of the results thread, now would be a good time to share. :)

Hey Bee or Karl, can one of you confirm you got my ballot? I screwed up my Blondie one a while back and it was never received.

I don’t think know more than 5 B52’s songs so I wont be voting but excited to follow the results and learn about them..

I don't think I'll have time to do the catching-up I wanted to. I'll have to do a ballot just off of B-52's, Wild Planet, Party Mix/Mesopotamia, and Cosmic Thing, and use the rollout to get acquainted with other stuff.

Hey Bee or Karl, can one of you confirm you got my ballot?

AFFIRMATIVE

looks like we've received 22 ballots so far.

Karl Malone, Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:24 (five years ago) link

Before I talk, I should read a POLL!

LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link

^^^ nice. That song has been on a constant loop in my head for a couple weeks. My kid is learning about Mesopotamia in history class, so I played him the song.

that's my fave so far, too. nice and simple, and also good advice

Karl Malone, Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:52 (five years ago) link

I like f. hazel's

(also not voting but looking forward to results)

Sing The Mighty Beat (sic), Thursday, 8 November 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link

that one's great too! lots of great options already. i'll go with the consensus, if one emerges.

sic you should vote! no big deal if it's only a partial ballot.

hmm, broken link?

Karl Malone, Friday, 9 November 2018 02:57 (five years ago) link

oh, cool! i knew that lennon liked the b-52s from the rolling stone interview (Lennon remembered, “I was at a dance club one night in Bermuda” in June 1980. “Upstairs, they were playing disco, and downstairs, I suddenly heard ‘Rock Lobster’ by the B-52’s for the first time. Do you know it? It sounds just like Yoko’s music, so I said to meself, ‘It’s time to get out the old axe and wake the wife up!’ We wrote about twenty-five songs during those three weeks, and we’ve recorded enough for another album.”), but i hadn't heard his comments in the bbc interview.

it's funny, in the midst of that, for lennon to refer to the years when he and ono were separated as "not really separate for any real reason, just on a holiday"

getting my order together now, this is hard...

Bee OK, Friday, 9 November 2018 19:34 (five years ago) link

hey, i'm adding up the ballots and everything's good, except for one important issue:

on the albums side, there are several votes for Mesopotamia, and several votes for Party Mix/Mesopotamia. There are zero votes for Party Mix as a standalone EP. Should I combine all the votes for Mesopotamia and Party Mix/Mesopotamia, or leave them separate?

Karl Malone, Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:03 (five years ago) link

I didn't vote for that because I view it as a compilation and not an album, but if I can vote for it please put it at my #2 spot.

sleeve, Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:25 (five years ago) link

(I am really voting for Party Mix, maybe we should just count them both as separate albums?)

sleeve, Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:25 (five years ago) link

that sounds good, leaving them all as separate albums. when i do the rollout i'll include anything that got a vote. (and yep, i'll adjust your albums ballot so that Party Mix is #2)

ROLLOUT ON MONDAY, GET YR VOTE IN by the end of Saturday, whenever that might be for you

this is going to be so much fun. :D

Karl Malone, Saturday, 10 November 2018 00:57 (five years ago) link

i'm also going to send a quick email to everyone who voted for either mesopotamia, party mix, or mesopotamia/party mix and let them know that the votes will be split, in case that affects their decision.

this poll is totally valid and will stand up to legal scrutiny
