I didn't get around to do a tracks ballot, so handed in a ballot consisting of one track. (should've added Dawson's 'Jogging' as a second but forgot). It's albums for me mostly, but stoked for the ~weird~ results!

aaaargh don't say that, could be the difference between 11th and 10th #gutted

also lol saer otm

handed in a ballot consisting of one track

Now I regret not doing the same.

I've great regret LJ, but to soften the blow, I think notorious whaaat-I-never-saw-the-voting-thread-that-hovered-on-new-answers-for-decades Dog Latin did vote this time? So 'Jogging' should be a lock for #10.

tbh I think it's higher but we'll wait to be surprised ;)

#teamjogging

haha, i definitely voted this year but missed the noms

Bless :)

handed in a ballot consisting of one track

weighted or unweighted?

Weighted!

I thought I voted for "Jogging" but apparently I just made do with the LP alone in the end. Oh well. Having never declared that early intention out loud, I can still tell myself that I haven't let anyone down innit.

this is worse than the 2 of you who were all 'oh shit forgot lingua ignota' yesterday

What time does the rollout start?

it's typically about 2 hours from now

"jogging" being top 10 is the sort of thing that feels just plausible enough for it to happen? i thought 2020 was generally not as well liked as peasant though so it would still be very surprising to me

I don't like 2020 as much as Peasant but I certainly wish I'd voted for Jogging, as it's a stellar anthem.

^^^^

It's getting a lot of points from our house and has quite a few fans elsewhere. It'll definitely make the 77. Have you heard Splendor & Misery yet btw? That's high on my decade list let alone 2016

Yeah I've gone back through their catalog and listened to everything once, which is why I said on Twitter:

FYI I think I am prepared to declare @clppng artists of the decade

I listened to Addiction to Blood once or twice and liked it but wasn't taken with it like I was the second clipping. album, which I still consider just totally jaw-dropping
and which easily makes any end-of-decade list of mine (& which I prob still under-rate tbh). I wonder if clipping. is just one of those bands where the first one you hear will always be your favourite

Then again, I skipped S&M for really dumb reasons so I'm willing to accept as just any gasfaces DJP or imago are making towards my general vicinity

willling to bet Jogging'll be top ten

I have no idea what "Jogging" is? Googling it doesn't help much either.

It's a Richard Dawson song. It's got guitars.

And lyrics o_O

Not my thing, then.

Pom, you didn't vote for it either? An LJ flogging is due ;_;

xp lol vmic

Let's save this for Thursday, folks

And speaking of saving...save us, Johnny Fever!

Or Moka!

True, true

(Friday) xp

Hmm, looking at by tracks ballot, 12 of 25 do have lyrics, so maybe they are my thing after all?

"at MY tracks ballot"

'Jogging' is a little too… prosaic for my liking, and unintentionally makes me feel even more alienated from English culture. Nothing Important is the only Dawson I genuinely love (and 'Hob').

(Sorry, LJ.)

Lol this is why I never got into Nothjng Important (though I sometimes wonder if the title track had made tracks poll instead of Vile Stuff)

I don't remember if I voted for Jogging, but I think I might have

Nothjng Important

Wow I'm super overdue for a vow of silence

au contraire you certainly ought to post more!

nothing important aotd obv

I wonder how the Sault vote held up. No mention of them here, but much excitement on dedicated thread. The potential for vote-splitting looked kinda extreme though.

When will rollout start?

usually about now

good, we need something nice to argue about

ludacris sez, start the roll out

See, this is what happens when the rollout doesn't start on time.

Save us Johnny Fever!

Lol, otm

This seems likely

lol ok

The Highwomen win both the tracks and albums polls. All good here? Cool. Thanks for voting everyone. 👍
