As it stands, we only have 7 ballots (not including me), so I'm extending the deadline to AUGUST 16. If yall could ping/poke/nudge other known Cat Power fans, that'd be awesome!
Not to name names, but I'm naming names! People who've posted in this thread but who haven't sent in a ballot include (apologies if I list anyone who already voted -- I wasn't able to x-ref your ballot to your ILX name):

i am going to need the extra time and might be able to submit a ballot but i am not promising anythingbusy season for me, got all kinds of obstacles in my way before i have time to dedicate to remembering which cat power songs were my favorites. i am not a very thorough fan -- i like what i like a lot, but don't know that much. maybe there are tons more cat power songs that i like and don't even know it yet!

Ah got it LL! Do what needs doing, this is just a fun diversion so if it doesn't fit into your situation ATM then no worries!

this is sort of my situation too -- i know the middle albums very well, kinda hesitate to vote and skew the poll away from things i might learn about from y'all

I totally understand being a conscientious voter, but if you have opinions, they're just as valid as anyone else's! I mean, we're all licensed music snobs, that's how we got the invite to ILM, right?

full disclosure: I did not listen to "Wanderer" before voting, and did not include any tracks from it on my balloe

I've sent ILX mails to a few people (akm, Gravel, kornrulez6969) who've posted in this thread!

submitted a ballot despite never having heard the first two records. it was really good to listen to some of these songs again

You Are Free came out when I just got out of the psych ward In college. That is my favorite Cat Power record. Such a unique sound, that record is.

I need to get a few things ready so if you haven't submitted a ballot yet there's still time he!
― Coelacanth Green (Leee), Sunday, 18 August 2019 14:35 (four years ago) link
Status update: I need to get my act together and do the necessary collation and double-checking, which I'm not sure I'll be able to swing during the week. So anyone who wants to submit a ballot still can until I get things properly set up!

Reviving my love for You Are Free was the best part about voting, although as my daughter would say, I'm a Moon Pix stan first and a human being second.

Still accepting ballots.

Going to try to get my act together this weekend, for people scoring at home.

So here's a question for the heads: Myra Lee and Dear Sir both have "Rockets," and I can't really hear a difference between the two. Did Chan just release the same song twice?
― William Tao Overture (Leee), Thursday, 22 August 2019 21:01 (four years ago) link
The albums were recorded at the same time so I've always assumed they're (subtly... as in I can't tell either) different takes.
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Thursday, 22 August 2019 22:41 (four years ago) link
ogmor, I emailed a few points of clarification for your ballot.
― William Tao Overture (Leee), Saturday, 24 August 2019 04:11 (four years ago) link
FYI, I'm going to consolidate all votes for "Rockets" as a single entry, since I can't hear differences between the two versions on Myra/Sir.
And since some people have asked, I'm hoping to get the tracks rollout started Monday.
― Melon Musk (Leee), Sunday, 25 August 2019 05:18 (four years ago) link
do you really want to separate different versions of the songs in the roll-out? i thought you just wanted to consolidate all songs and then give the breakdown by version. otherwise songs with several versions have a handicap, i think.
― je est un autre, l'enfer c'est les autres (alex in mainhattan), Sunday, 25 August 2019 08:40 (four years ago) link
agree with Alex
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Sunday, 25 August 2019 09:23 (four years ago) link
I did specify that Metal Heart would be counted by version, with the intention that other songs with multiple versions would also be counted separately. Consolidating them doesn't make sense to me, since different arrangements effectively make them new songs, but if enough people think that's a bad idea, I'm open to changing the policy.
