I was glad to discover that ditty myself. Thanks for the Youtube list, btw. A goodly chunk of my shortlist was over there.
Not least this 1981 obscurity I nominated. (Blessed with a very nifty found-footage fan video.)

looks like we're up to 30 ballots!
which is great, but hey lurkers out there or people who don't normally vote in these things - you should vote in this thing! doesn't have to be a full ballot, it can just be 20 of your faves.
even with 30 ballots, i'm a little concerned that since there are so many nominations, there will be a very wide, shallow pool of votes, with lots of ties and songs that only get 2 votes placing high, or whatever. the more ballots we get, the less of a problem that'll be.
― Karl Malone, Friday, 29 March 2019 00:00 (five years ago) link
i should vote in this. it's just hard for me to muster up the enthusiasm for random songs as opposed to a genre or single artist.

This is a genre, though--short songs. "But 'short' is subjective." So, at the margins, is any genre.

first pass through gives me a long list of only 61, I was ruthless
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Saturday, 30 March 2019 16:32 (five years ago) link
look I'm sorry that I haven't been able to pay any real attention to this poll but I'm afraid you'll have to cancel and start again, this list does not include Babaganouj or Steak & Chips by Smudge
for that matter, the long list probably doesn't have Tea, Toast & Turmoil or Lighten Up Hank or Ugly, Just Like Me or Real McCoy, Wrong Sinatra or Scary Cassettes or Alison Tells Me She's Not Sure That What She's Got's Contagious (the acoustic version is better but not on Bandcamp)
OK I've checked and it doesn't, nor has Tom Morgan's other band been acknowledged with Deaf Girl, Dumb Guy, Blind Love or (Closing Time At The) Tittie Bar or B.U. or I Got A Type or Loud & True or Isle Of Lesbos
or anything at all on theSneeze (41 Songs In 47 Minutes) album orother short songs on their other studio albums
or the Love Positions' Into Your Arms (covered by Lemonheads at longer than 1:38) or Don't Slow Down (went to #1 when covered by Ratcat at longer than 1:24)

― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:17 (five years ago) link
sic, only you can save the fate of the least used sub-poll:
4) there are also three optional sub-polls: Top 5 songs under 30 seconds, Favorite <2 minutes artist, and Top 5 songs that aren’t on the nominations list because of a technical formality or because i fucked up or because it wasn’t nominated because this world is going to HELL, etc
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:20 (five years ago) link
I still don't have time to listen to noms and vote :( but will hear everything on the results
everyone should throw an ear at Deaf Girl, Dumb Guy, Blind Love though

Can we have another week to get votes in?
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:35 (five years ago) link
i could be convinced, but it would help to know that their are others out there who could use the extra time.
right now we're sitting at about 35 ballots, which is pretty good. but this is supposed to be the companion poll to lee's 10 minutes+ poll, which had 58 ballots. so it would be nice if we had a comparable number of ballots, especially given that everyone took the time to submit 17 billion nominations. i might go through the nominations thread today and see who nominated a bunch of songs but hasn't voted yet, and then send them a singing telegram informing them to vote or die

Please don’t drag this out longer
― ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:47 (five years ago) link
it's true, extending the deadline would seem to be contrary to the spirit of the poll
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link
I would use an extra week to procrastinate, not do any useful listening, and wind up with the same ballot that I'd produce by tomorrow night.

Voting for no-extension...The longer any poll goes on--or at least the longer it goes on past the moment of peak interest--the more that interest wanes.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 19:42 (five years ago) link
More ballots getting submitted means more people with a stake in the results. You trippin clemenza
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:00 (five years ago) link
Not at all. Maybe you get 3 or 4 extra ballots, while simultaneously the 35 people who have already voted are steadily losing interest; I know I do, and I bet I'm not the only one.
The deadline was posted three or four weeks ago, with a very sensible suggestion that the fate of the world did not hinge upon the results and that it wasn't necessary to hear every single song before voting.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:05 (five years ago) link
I expect nothing less than quick voters being impatient and having the ability to lose interest quickly though. I should be jealous of people that have the ability to get real excited about things though.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:06 (five years ago) link
You've convinced me. Let's extend the deadline to July; there are under-2:00 songs being released as we type, and we need to hear those too.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:07 (five years ago) link
Sorry--general frustration. We go through this with the ILX film poll too, with people wanting to push back the poll until they're able to see everything (so we do it in the summer now). I just find the whole nomination-discussion-results cycle of every ILX/ILM poll takes forever.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
Nahh. Keep things the way they are. It doesn't matter to me if I don't submit a ballot since I had fun making that youtube playlist. That’s my baby. Not the results.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
I have managed to make all 300+ songs transition nicely so far. I have been reuploading youtubes just to make less severe volume change between songs. I have reached a punk/metal/noise block in the playlist and I look forward to syncing those songs together as I finish the playlist.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link
flopsy can you can just submit an unranked ballot of your fave songs from your youtube playlist? or something
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:17 (five years ago) link
(xpost) That's it; what you get out of these things, to me, has little or nothing to do with the results or how comprehensive your ballot is. I'm sure your playlist helped lots of people fill in gaps. For me, the fun is in putting my ballot together from what I already know, plus the first couple of weeks of discussion. When the results are posted, I may listen to any high-placing songs I don't know (I'm more inclined to seek out high-placing films I haven't seen).
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:20 (five years ago) link
I can probably hastily throw something together tomorrow. Saturdays are for lying in bed til dinner.

Karl, please post the youtube playlist next to the spotify playlist at the top of the results thread. Thanks

Can you just use my nomination list on the other thread as my ballot? I have no time to engage this any further but thought about my noms at that time.

XXXP: Hehe, I thought about nominating Smudge, Sneeze, et al, but Aus stuff so often arouses limited interest. (Though "Into Your Arms" was there.) Nice to see them acknowledged, sic.

i have absolutely no idea which songs are doing better than others (haven't put them into a spreadsheet yet or looked closely at any ballot), but let me try to give a final weekend boost to Scott Walker's "On Your Own Again", which is top 5 for me
