sic, you post in this thread, you have to send a ballot. those are david byrne's rules, i just follow them

tbh not being familiar with the differences between the Mesopotamia material is the main reason I feel unqualified to vote! but I'll try and give all those middle records a listen and send a bad ballot

hell yeah, thanks! your vote would put us at 25 ballots.

I'm 100% voting in this, and will be finalizing my ballot in the next couple hours

^ Very true.

Imagine being at that gig and hearing "Rock Lobster" for the first time.

wow, i just spent waaaaaaay too long illustrating the events of a certain song in a way that's faithful to the album art. no big deal, i'm just unemployed and running out of money!

friendly reminder: last day to vote! i'm expecting a couple more today, and if a couple more surprise ballots come in we can make up to 30. pretty good!

incentive to vote: the top 3 are very, very close, and there's another handful in the top ten that are also very close. so your vote will really make a difference. you can be like that tipping point guy in state where no one lives that decides an election

i'm glad this was able to stay open for another week as this poll has a very nice turnout.

Bee OK, Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link

definitely! we're up to 31 now

Karl Malone, Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:15 (five years ago) link

and where the hell is BradNelson? a ballot from him should be one of the first but not yet?

Bee OK, Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:20 (five years ago) link

Has he even posted?

slack thompson (Drugs A. Money), Saturday, 10 November 2018 23:25 (five years ago) link

He hasn't and I don't like calling people out. It just seems to be in his wheelhouse?

one final time: there's still time, if get yr vote in sometime tonight! tomorrow morning (t - 8 hours or so) i'm going to do the final tally and count the number of points, votes, #1s, etc. so if you get yr vote in before then, I'll be able to include it.

Rollout starts Monday. I'm thinking Albums + 40-31 on Monday, 30-16 on Tuesday, 15-1 on Wednesday.

blind you to the awful surprise

Whoops, only just saw yesterday's Mesopotamia email. That seems a wise decision. (I guess I've mostly heard Mesopotamia via that twofer, but all mixes are decent, and I rarely listen to Party Mix.)
