Camper Van Beethoven's cover of "Wasted" made the noms but not the Black Flag original >:(

Loved the Family Fodder track just before it though!

I made a playlist of a certain subset of all the nominations, not stanning for any of them just a bit of fun, best effect if you skip each song after 1-2 seconds:

Karl you must have missed the last batch of corrections I made in the nominations thread. One song is on there twice and I mentioned 'the' White Stripes and other splits with 'the'.

xp to imago, I didn't know that about Earlimart (a band I don't really care much about despite nominating that song). Maybe you are mistaken? Family Fodder is one of my all time favorite bands.
― ٩༼ º෴º ༽۶ (FlopsyDuck), Monday, 11 March 2019 13:05 (five years ago) link
I am not mistaken. But it's a nice remix
― imago, Monday, 11 March 2019 13:09 (five years ago) link
hmm. now I'm thinking I was mistaken and it's just the same (unusual) instrument
― imago, Monday, 11 March 2019 13:12 (five years ago) link
ok, I approve of the Earlimart then :D
Not well known (the song, not the band).
What's the Use (Pretty Things, 1970)
Possibly a belated answer-song to "She's Leaving Home."
― clemenza, Monday, 11 March 2019 13:14 (five years ago) link
There definitely are some big similarities there imago. The thing that most intrigues me about the Earlimart song is when it hangs on the minor piano notes (from about 1:06 - 1:22) instead of finishing the sequence.

And since KM took the trouble to fix up the spelling, some great doo-wop from 1959 (of admittedly dubious sensitivity):
Ching a Long (Accents, 1959)
Contrary to the credits on the clip, it is "Ching a Long," not "Ching a Ling" (a point raised in the comments section). Seems to be listed as "Ching a Ling" all over the internet, but:

For those that like their songs *really* short, here's a playlist I made of songs that are all 7 seconds or less

Thanks for your work on this Karl, still going through the playlist but looking forward to putting a ballot together.
Would like to put a word in for one of my non-Spotify playlist nominations:

Idk if you're allowed to campaign for your own nominations or if it's in bad taste but then again I am a vulgar, vulgar man, a real nouveau riche ilx type shithead, so I am gonna do it anyway and beg for your forgiveness later, MAYBE.
Brian Eno - The Microsoft Sound (0:06) - Just wanted to remind you all this is available to put on your ballot. IT'S REAL GOOD, Y'ALL!Danny Elfman - The Simpsons Main Theme (1:39) - This too. It's fine? I don't even know if I'll vote for it, but it is iconic.AFI - Hearts Frozen Solid, Thawed Once More by the Spring of Rage, Despair, and Hopelessness (0:32) - A real test of Poe's law here (or whatever the... not internet? equivalent? of poe's law? is?), I can't tell if this is just the most "angry pop punk" song ever or a send-up of the genre. Either way, 30 seconds of Davey Havoc screaming I WILL DIE SCREAMING is a joy, and this is probably the only AFI song I have ever liked. Plus, there has to be at least one representative from Fat Wreck's "short music for short people," an album of 100 thirty-second songs, right?Project X - Straight Edge Revenge (1:20) - Yes, yes, you should vote for the Minor Threat song, blah blah blah, YAWN, but, like, this is the best update to the "short song about not doing drugs hardcore" microgenre ever. I'M AS STRAIGHT! AS THE LINE! THAT YOU SNORT UP YOUR NOSE! hahaha. Come on. vote for itMitski - Old Friend (1:53) - maybe my fave short song by my fave artist of the decade so you know i'll stan for it. with 50 spots i'm still worried i'll vote for her 5 times? but if someone said "one vote per artist" it's this. (or maybe my body's made of crushed little stars. shit. tough pick)
And some I didn't nominate, because, that's the CLASSY MOVE
Guayaba - Bye Bich --- daaaaaaaaamn one of the (very) few songs that I hit while shuffling the spotify and went WAIT WHAT? WHAT IS THIS. it is very goodFarrah Abraham - The Sunshine State --- NOBODY TOLD ME SHE IS A SECRET GENIUS? help this is amazingBoards of Canada - .......all of it? ugh how am I supposed to pick from these?

i'm planning on voting for crushed little stars too

one per artist is only like a code of honour thing tho, right? bc like... yeah i'm not gonna LIE and pretend i don't love both of those songs

Also, we should have let whoever nominate the whole Circle Jerks album because "World Up My Ass" is not on the list
― ebro the letter (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 11 March 2019 19:00 (five years ago) link
yeah there's no limit, but i'm gonna limit myself to one artist per song so i can spread the wealth a bit and go a little bit less insane when choosing and ordering my ballot
― Neus Anneus (voodoo chili), Monday, 11 March 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
vote for the songs you like best imo

There's 3 different versions of the theme to 'Stingray', will they be collated seperately or together? i.e. does it matter which version I vote for?
― Dan Worsley, Monday, 11 March 2019 19:37 (five years ago) link
I’m not familiar with the theme (and at work so I can’t listen), but if they sound pretty similar I will collate is there are votes for separate versions

Not sure if I'll vote for it, but definitely under consideration.

Vote for 'UFO' instead, Dan :)

Jesus, that was exhausting.There was definitely something liberating about comparing the relative merits of C86 songs, hardcore, first-wave rock 'n roll classics, and incidental filler.Anyway, ballot submitted.

Attention Trump conspiracy hysterics: I voted twice.
(Don't worry, KM--the second ballot catches one of the subcategories I missed on the first one. The rest is blank.)

Every song: “What song is this?”“Guided by Voices again”“Put it on the list”.
I guess I didn’t realise they were actually quite good.
― alrakis morissette (tangenttangent), Tuesday, 12 March 2019 06:05 (five years ago) link
From my noms I obviously want to campaign for all of them but I’ll settle for 3 that I’d specially recommend:
Tenorio Jr - Nebulosa
This is from the early 60’s but actually sounds like it is some instrumental hip hop song by nujabes or someone of that ilk. Which is to say it sounds decades ahead of its time. Short piece but every musician in it is so good and the song has such an energetic pace it feels like it’s much longer.
Buddy Holly - Slippin n Slidin (fast version)
This stripped down version is not only my favorite version of the song, it might be my favorite Buddy Holly song. I love his voice in this unadorned state. The whole apartment tapes are really good and better than the overdubs they made with them imho.
Storey Sisters - Bad Motorcycle
Because it’s awesome and deserves a top 20 spot in this poll.
