The Suburbs - Cows (1:38)
The Suburbs - Cig Machine (1:25)
The Suburbs - Chemistry Set (1:11)

I ported the Spotify playlist over to Apple Music with Tune My Music and ended up with some odd results, including some songs by Juliet and the Spirits (none of which are under 2 minutes) that I can remember loving and now can't find any mention of the band online at all?

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg, somehow i missed a big chunk of the thread, near the end, starting with the fIREHOSE songs, and including about 10210414031048 colonel poo nominations. fuuuuuuuck. i'm just going to do it now.

yay!

poking around the doc

Ramones/The Ramones
Residents/The Residents

And foh with two different versions of "Pay to Cum," the O.G. 7" version is better, just go with it

Billie Holiday Lover, Come Back to Me 1:49

a dozen different versions on spotify, all longer than 2, most by a fair stretch

thanks whiney, making those changes now

god's work KM!

still a bit more to go! sorry for false alarm earlier. but i am not sleeping until i finish this shit. fuck the job, i have priorities!

i am listening to einstein on the beach as i go and it has been a lovely experience

You're a prince KM <3

wooo

as i'm sure we're all going to listen to the entire playlist (why wouldn't we? all this effort demands our attention!) then i'd hope the majority of campaigning will be for those songs who never found life on that particular streaming platform

:)

this is kinda dumb but if we can get 12 more nominations we'll be at 2019, and then it might seem like this entire weirdass process was very purposeful

xpost

i really do hope there's a ton of campaigning for the songs that are harder to find. but there a ton of pretty obscure songs (to me) on the playlist as well, so i hope there will just be a lot of campaigning in general!

this is kinda dumb but if we can get 12 more nominations we'll be at 2019

make that 13 more, as not only is it friday (awooooooooooo) but also, with the header i realized we only have 2006. only 2006 nominations!!

just to be avoid terrible things when i wake up, if there are more than 13 nominations after this post i will only take the first 13

also yeah, it will be a top 119 countdown (plus .999th of a nod toward the 120th place)

Hood - Biochemistry Revision Can Wait (1:00)
Hood - Rocck? I Can't Even Spell The Word (1:40)
Hood - England's Fine Fields (0:44)

lol we needed some Hood

Forgot them initially! :)

10 remain

(please nominate 10 more really quick so i can go to bed knowing that i completed something important today)

imo the remaining 10 nominations should be for acts that haven't been nominated yet. thinking caps on ilx

Bill Wurtz - Alphabet Shuffle (1:00)

The Chap - Partly People (1:56)

Someone's gonna have to help me here or we're going to get more stuff like

The Dandy Warhols - The Dandy Warhols Love Almost Everyone (1:54)

Swirlies - No Identifier (1:45)

not a new act but I was going to nominate this before, forgot: Teenage Fanclub - Hardcore/Ballad (1:50)

Phoenix - School's Rules (1:32)

Working For A Nuclear Free City - Euphone (1:47)

Depeche Mode - Sometimes (1:54)

Avi Buffalo - Two Cherished Understandings (1:42)

Midnight Oil - Bakerman (0:56)

Right that's it. You can go to bed!

Georgia Island Sea Singers - Hop Along Lets Get Her
Bettie Jones- Go to Sleep Little Baby
Alameda Riddle - My Little Rooster
Hobart Smith - Last Chance
Alan Lomax - All The Pretty Little Horses
Curly King - Boil them cabbage down

Ahhh already done and I forgot the lengths anyway

Sleep well, Mr Malone

Beastie Boys 'Funky Boss' is in the playlist and noms list twice btw

Another duplicate - PJ Harvey's 'Snakes'

And the Broadcast track is 'Microtronics' not 'Microtonic' but do we know which of the 21 Microtronics tracks it is?

Couple of very minor corrections!

Lung Leg - Accident -> Lungleg - Accident
Yummy Fur - Policeman -> The Yummy Fur - Policeman

we are removing articles from the beginning of names I thought?

So glad to see Raymond Scott's 'Lightworks' in the list but it's also in there twice.

3 more duplicates

Talking Heads - Who Is It?
The Sea Nymphs - On the Dry Land
They Might Be Giants - Mr. Me

Thanking you!

Keeping articles at beginning of band names!

Will add final songs and make other edits when I get home 13-16 hours from now!

Late to work! Fuck!

oh sorry I saw someone request we remove them but request was not approved... in that case there's probably loads in my list that should have The at the beginning, sorry

This 54 second edit of the Doctor Who theme (from the Troughton era) is a bit better than the 39 second edit as it just about squeezes in the middle eight (rubbish fade out though): https://open.spotify.com/track/5edEe378gFi6xxhveG7jAk?si=8LfLuGTQTF-RjnlsXoWeGA

Better still might've been the 1:20 Closing theme from the same era as the opening theme nominated: https://open.spotify.com/track/12eaGTQ57QR7E1XhAevAXo?si=CfpwBrWTTHaaPXEfa2aVkA
