Minor notes for voters:
Ramones - Lover, Come Back to Me doesn't existBad Boys Brains - F.V.K.F.S.O.L. T.S.O.L. - Abolish Government/Silent MajoritySean Price - One More TryHeavy Vegetable - Heavy Vegetable FiredRobert Fripp - Mary 2:06 too long <Not sure if Karl wants to remove this one
And good news.Here's a playlist of the tracks left off spotify.I was kind of picky with the first 95 songs and how I sequenced them. The next 300 or so songs will be more or less dumped in the playlist over the next 2 or 3 days.

My apologies - my mp3 was faulty and has a skip. I just consulted my FLAC archive and it is definitely just over 2 mins.

okeydoke, updated nominations list:
https://pastebin.com/PuG4RdvE
i've updated the links to this list in the Google Form/ballot as well.
------------
if a very kind MOD sees this, it would be very kind and in character if you could once again update the three pastebin links in the OP so they point to https://pastebin.com/PuG4RdvE:
the first link is the "link to full list of nominations", near the very top.
the second is "the final list of nominees", just a few lines beneath that.
third link is in the middle: "3) **PLEASE** form your baby ballot by copying and pasting from this full list of nominations: XXXXXXXX";

thanks again Flopsy for your help, and for all the effort in putting together the playlist of songs not on Spotify, which i will definitely be making use of as i form my own ballot
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Thursday, 21 March 2019 02:08 (five years ago) link
btw, 15 ballots are in so far! the clemenza option is the most popular format so far (6 voters), with the full ranked vote close behind (5 voters)
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Thursday, 21 March 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link
Think I've got all those pastebin changes for you.

Thank you!!

i think i would have voted for this little jewel by hüsker dü from the manic strumming thread if it had been nominated..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIbxmwdcnmM

Kudos to person with the brains to nominate "You're Not Blank" by the Dils. What a song.
― timellison, Friday, 22 March 2019 02:41 (five years ago) link
that will be on my ballot (I didn't nominate it but would have if it weren't already nominated)
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 22 March 2019 11:37 (five years ago) link
Trompe Le Monde has just been removed from Spotify ffs, the title-track was one of my best discoveries in this

Jacques Lasry's Toccata seems to have gone missing from the playlist tho I'm sure it was there before. If anything we need more cristal baschet in the list :(

only 17 ballots in so far, so ... god please don't make me actively promote this
― but i'm there are fuckups (Karl Malone), Sunday, 24 March 2019 22:45 (five years ago) link
I'll try not to leave mine to the last minute, but... I usually do end up submitting at the last minute.

Having run three or four of these, always the worst part--you don't want to appear needy as you wait for ballots to arrive.
― clemenza, Sunday, 24 March 2019 23:51 (five years ago) link
I’ll be last minute for sure.

what you don't understand is that i made a bad bet, and now i owe someone big. i really DO need all these ballots to arrive, or else.

Still (foolishly?) attempting to make it through the Spotify playlist. I feel like I'm losing momentum with this project, though, so I may just finalize a ballot with what I have in the next day or two.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Monday, 25 March 2019 00:39 (five years ago) link
Same
― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Monday, 25 March 2019 03:34 (five years ago) link
also same. I'm working through the playlist, last day I can listen to it is Thursday so I will do the ballot then
― Colonel Poo, Monday, 25 March 2019 11:57 (five years ago) link
I skipped maybe a quarter of the playlist (p much all the fast punky stuff ha) but down to the last 200 or so.
― nashwan, Monday, 25 March 2019 13:16 (five years ago) link
i have got almost 600 to go, this poll is tough work...
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 25 March 2019 13:58 (five years ago) link
Only voted for stuff I already knew and liked, which was still a good 100-120 tracks. Going to use the playlist as a future resource,
― Dan Worsley, Monday, 25 March 2019 16:42 (five years ago) link
Nice little poll you got here, shame if something were to... HAPPEN.. to it.
Last weekend I was doing something even nerdier than voting in an online music poll, so I'm aiming to finish my ballot by this weekend.
― LEOPLOD BLOOMPS (Leee), Monday, 25 March 2019 19:09 (five years ago) link
KM: If I wanted to correct something on the ballot I've submitted, how would I do that? If its not do-able, no problem...
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Monday, 25 March 2019 19:46 (five years ago) link
someone else emailed me about that this morning! i just changed a setting on the Google Form so that submitters can Edit their ballots after voting (previously this setting was turned off, by default). can you try to access your ballot really quick and see if it lets you make a change?
― Karl Malone, Monday, 25 March 2019 19:56 (five years ago) link
Voted!
And was able to edit and re-submit (although didn't change anything second time around).
― Jeff W, Monday, 25 March 2019 20:26 (five years ago) link
I don't see where I can edit. I enter my username, select my ranking preference, and it just takes me to a blank form for the rankings.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Monday, 25 March 2019 20:28 (five years ago) link
i was the one who emailed you! i also dunno how to access my old ballot to edit it... maybe i am missing something?
― they're not booing you, sir, they're shouting "Boo'd Up" (Will M.), Monday, 25 March 2019 20:46 (five years ago) link
The edit function is on the success page with the 'Now quit your job' message.
I guess if you've closed the window for Google forms since then and got on with yr life/quit yr job, it makes sense that you can't get back to that page without starting over? Otherwise anyone could edit my ballot just knowing my ILX username. (Erm, please don't do that.)
― Jeff W, Monday, 25 March 2019 21:11 (five years ago) link
OK, I tried that and I can't access my original ballot? I can just resubmit my corrected one, but I don't want to do that until I get the go-ahead from the poll runners.
― Timothée Charalambides (cryptosicko), Monday, 25 March 2019 21:17 (five years ago) link
Sorry about my delay! I’ve been in a work nightmare. Go ahead and submit a revised vote if you don’t mind! Shouldn’t be a big deal on my end
― Karl Malone, Monday, 25 March 2019 22:36 (five years ago) link
And Will M, same for you, if that works!

comrades! listen to this joyous rendition of sailing the seas depends on the helmsman by cornelius cardew! you don't have to believe in the virtues of a centrally-planned economy to enjoy such a beautiful bit of piano playing

I would also like to draw your attention to the version of santiago de murcia's zarambeques o muecas by la fontegara, a sumptuous & airy piece of pre-flamenco courtly spanish guitar music that must be one of the older pieces of music of western music showing a strong african influence

also feel it wld be remiss not to mention this gorgeous track sung by some young kipsigis girls in rural kenya in the 50s who didn't understand that they were being recorded. it's such a treat and has an incredible backstory which kind of melted my brain when I learnt it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2AC8pnFpbw
the song is about this half-man half-beast character called chemirocha & dancing and leaping until your clothes fall down, but the kicker is that chemirocha = jimmie rodgers as in, t for texas jimmie rodgers, the fkn yodelling cowboy.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jimmie_rodgers.jpg
some of his recordings had circulated in previous years and made enough of a splash that chemirocha started to be used as a more general name for a singer. this was one of three chemirocha songs that was recorded, although the other two aren't nearly so special. some ppl made a documentary tracking down some of the original performers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi8xeDrsQTs
― ogmor, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 00:48 (five years ago) link
absolutely gonna vote for Chemirocha, thanks so much for that. I've definitely heard it before on some compilation, maybe something on the Mississippi label?
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 02:43 (five years ago) link
i'll re-vote tmrw when im back at my work pc, thanks KM!

Sorry to be a pain Karl but I've realised I'd like to make one change to the sub-30secs section of my ballot - am I better off re-submitting my whole ballot or can I just re-do that bit?
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 10:22 (five years ago) link
chemirocha is a definite all-time favorite; all that hugh tracey stuff is gold
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 16:04 (five years ago) link
Gavin, no problem! You can just submit another ballot with nothing on it except the correction. And maybe a quick handy note explaining what to change, in case I forget the details next week as I’m sorting through all this :)
