ILM's 2019 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD

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. 👍

Nothing Important is like a conjuring for me but I couldn't get on with Peasant or 2020.

(Would be happy with the Highwomen clearing up, tbh. As it were.)

you should see the irate face I'm making right now

What are the Highwomen.

Ok but have you even listened to it? I know how you feel about anything even vaguely country, but the songwriting is soooo good.

I did. It sucked.

Thanks, I hate it.

Or rather, I didn't like it (because it sucked) (dammit I can't even be gracious about it)

Well now I *really* hope it does well.

The tune Redesigning Women is so full of regressive stereotypes about women (Changing our minds like we change our hair color + And if the shoe fits, we're gonna buy 11 + Running the world while we're cleaning up the kitchen) that I was actually quite taken aback considering that it's supposed to be a song about...redesigning women. What the song was trying to do was so far from what it achieved that it turned me off checking out the rest of the project. Open to suggestions if there's better songs on there.

"Cocktail and a Song" is the keeper for me.

Redesigning Women is the only song on the album I routinely skip. I haven't heard it in a long time.

I love country but I did not like the Highwomen album at all. Mostly I didn't like the singing, too mannered.

I wish they done more harmony work and less just all singing the same melody at once much of the time, but 10 of the 12 songs on the album are exactly my vibe. If they'd ditched Redesigning Women and My Only Child, I'd consider it perfect.

so is Moka doing the rollout then

Moka is keeping to their own timeline here. plz be patient as no set time to start was ever announced.

we should just wait another year to start the rollout, for a laugh.
