♫ Best Songs Under 2 Minutes poll - VOTING and CAMPAIGNING (voting closes March 31st) ♫

(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).

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.

Ballet submitted.

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

Just preparing ballot now, and have noticed that the Cleftones - 'Heart and Soul' is duplicated on the nominations list

Cleftones - Heart and Soul (1:53)
The Cleftones - Heart and Soul (1:54)

Clemenza'd the 'ell out of it. Thanks, Karl! This has been very fun!

eh you had plenty of time to nominate

OTM

Voting for non-extension also.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and a little voice whispers "ooh my soul"

Voted late, but voted.

VOTED

i will submit my ballot today but i think a small extension of a day or something like that would be ok if that would generate more ballots. i don't remember a poll with a totally fixed deadline.

Submitted!

ok ignore my last note (I mean that was going to happen anyway), I managed to find a little time to vote. I hope Guided By Voices gets shut out, I mean I like them but c'mon.

I'm getting there!

lol is this deadline on Chicago time Karl? I can be done by 9 PM if so.

Surely it’s ‘wherever in the world it’s still the 31st’?

Thank you hawaii!

Surely it’s ‘wherever in the world it’s still the 31st’?

yep!

(and tbh, don't tell anyone but there's no way i'm working on any of these ballots until 6pm (Chicago/EST) on Monday (which, unfortunately, is April Fools day, so now it'll be left in doubt whether this is all a joke), so if get your votes in by then you'll be fine. but definitely try to get them in by Hawaii Midnight if you can)

This last round of cuts is TORTURE. I was doing okay until I got to 55, now I feel like I'm killing my babies.

*evil laugh*

we're up to 45 ballots btw! with emil.y, sleeve, and alex in mainhattan's, plus my own, plus a mystery voter that i choose to believe in and that you cannot disprove, that brings us to 50

I'll get mine in later today.

I'm just so thankful for the under 30 seconds side poll, because that meant I could cut those from my main ballot and keep them for their own category (though I did really want to see 'You Suffer' in the main poll). Up until now I forgot about the artist side poll, and also failed to write down non-nominated songs as I remembered them, so might only have one for that (it's a definite big one for me personally, though).

I'll get mine in later today.

i believe in you

voted!

oh, there's a non-spotify playlist? cool, it's far too late for me to vote but i will check out the youtube playlist at least!

dangit rushomancy, it's not far too late to vote!

just do an unranked ballot, 20 of your faves or whatever! vote or die! don't die!

sorry, i just can't do it! do a poll of favorite songs that are exactly 2:00 long and maybe i can do it. :) glad to see the kenny process team got nominated, though! i've loved "mouse in the hole" for ages.

voted!

Voted, and already filled with regret. Also lol @ the 'you have voted' message.

Voted.

voted, hope i've done it correctly km.

echoing emil.y's post

thanks km i think this will be a lovely rollout.

ok let's do this ballot thing then

Ballot submitted!

Voted

voted

Voted! had too many after culls, so removed some which would obviously have support from others, this will mean that none of my choices place, but so it goes

Karl, does that google ballot submission form happen to do the tabulations for you as well, or is it just a way to acquire the lists? I'd like to use this voting setup for the Bacharach poll if it's not too hard to figure out.

Voted! That was too much for my heart

And voted!

voted.

people. Thank you for mitigating my 90s indie rock ballot.

just a way to acquire the lists. it just collects i ripped the idea off from the recent 2018 year end polls. but it does let you organize the questions in a certain way, have different sections of the poll and mark some as optional, and then collects everyone's answers in a spreadsheet.

somehow I left this beaut off my noms list

Ugh this is hard. My ballot will be coming soon.

i haven't even started wittling it down yet. i'm still at around 80-90 songs category, and still listening to more things. it's been a fun weekend of listening!
