We need to honor the smallest masterpieces, cause I think the results will probably be dominated by songs that are 1:59

I'm more optimistic! I think we're going to get a health number in the 1:20-1:40 range.

Cat Stevens - Was Dog A Doughnut? (1:17)
Foolishly I forgot the track is much longer than this and was going by an edit of it on a mix by M.A.N.D.Y. - disqualify!

On placing limits on artists: I agree that a ballot that is almost all tracks by, say, the Minutemen or They Might Be Giants would be a) boring, and b) not really in the spirit of these multi-artist song polls, but I'm all for leaving that all up to the individual voter, rather than disciplining people into putting together ballots they wouldn't have otherwise. I had already decided on a personal rule of no more than three songs per artist (which I mostly did to curb the number of GbV tracks I'd include because, again, that'd be boring).
On the voting/campaigning period: 3 weeks works for me.

Q: how long will this nominations thread last? A: um, how about March 1, does that sound ok?

hey everyone, sorry, i have been acting in a confusing way. i've been working really long hours during my last week of my current job, and preparing to start a new job the following week, getting on new insurance, all that shit. it's been stressful.
er long story short, yes, nominations can extend through March 1st. please don't nominate 1500 more songs. if i get a moment today i'll ask a mod to update the title

Thank you. I was still debating which Heavy Vegetable and Thingy songs to choose
― ٩༼ º෴º ༽۶ (FlopsyDuck), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 14:20 (five years ago) link
One great thing about this poll is that I discovered Thingy put out a long lost album 2018.

no problem, really, and it's dumb that i forgot i mentioned that in the OP. my bad. plus, as long as the new wave of nominations is less intense than the rate at which i can enter the existing ones, i will have time to catch up
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 14:22 (five years ago) link
also, the fact that everyone is enthusiastically nominating things is a good thing and i shouldn't complain

Rival Schools - High Acetate (1:53)
― imago, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 14:52 (five years ago) link
I liked the ordered 1-10, 11-25, 26-50 system that was proposed. Maybe it could be the default option ?Under-30 seconds top 5 sounds good, even if I really have no clue what to put there.
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 27 February 2019 14:53 (five years ago) link
Yay! Thanks for extending it. Not voting for Now Mary would be plain wrong.

I liked the idea upthread of small numbers but just tiers after say 20:

I've been a little bit unprepared for listening to the Spotify playlist, as I've been doing it mostly passively; a lot of times I have a vague liking to a song and then it's already over and I have to listen to it again to make sure I actually liked it!

Juanita Rogers - I'm So Glad You Love Me (1:40)Martin Chambers - A Swift One (approx 1:00)Louis & Bebe Barron - Robby, the Cook, and 60 Gallons of Booze (0:56)Doris Hays - Somersault Beat (1:48)Boys Boys - Monkey Monkey (1:56)Scrap Brain - Don't Talk To Me (1:07)Don Higgins & Ted Determan - The Ultra Bath (1:39)Guernica - Bremen (1:19)Bongwater - I Need a New Tape (1:40)Capsule - Open the Gate (1:27)DODDODO - WhiteHouseDisco (1:52)Halmens - 焼きソバ老人 (1:43)Raymond Scott - Lightworks (approx 1:50)Tierra Whack - Hungry Hippo (1:00)Tierra Whack - Flea Market (1:00)John S.

The Juanita Rogers also has a longer version, both versions are on Sun Ra's The Second Stop Is Jupiter LP. It looks like there might be a longer version of 'The New Teller' on some comp, the 1:39 version is a bonus on the Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers S/T album.

certainly. feel like i'm still getting to know it but listen to it semi-regularly. i love the sonic variety and it seems like another STRONG batch of songs. the closer is a real beauty, too
