♫ Your NOMINATIONS for the best songs under 2 minutes poll ♫ (nominations close MARCH 1ST)

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

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

i'd hope the majority of campaigning will be for those songs who never found life on that particular streaming platform

let me tell you about some of these US hardcore songs.... oh wait, that's for the next thread

damn i bet we didn't nominate a single tonetta song did we

mea culpa

but do we know which of the 21 Microtronics tracks it is?

Microtronics 05

wait are nominations still open cuz I love tiny music and could name like a dozen on the spot

they're closed, let's not get Karl fired here

I hereby de-nominate my last five nominations (posted after Karl announced a final ten) but ONLY for Stevie D. They're all yours. Of course as a Dandies and Swirlies (I assume) fan you might opt to re-nominate a couple of 'em idk

Hey guys, this is Karl’s friend, logged into his account. He got fired because of this poll, earlier today, and he asked me to come on here and ask you all to send him money to cover his costs while he looks for a new one. He’s going to be busy out looking for a job for the next few weeks but you can just send the money to me and I will pass it onto him, as I see him just about every night.

SAVE KM

(The) Beach Boys
Alain Gorag(eu)r
Beastie Boys - Funky Boss x2 /already mentioned

Missing from the Google Doc (I don't know about the playlist):

The Pipettes - It Hurts To See You Dance So Well (1:53)
