More ballots getting submitted means more people with a stake in the results. You trippin clemenza

Not at all. Maybe you get 3 or 4 extra ballots, while simultaneously the 35 people who have already voted are steadily losing interest; I know I do, and I bet I'm not the only one.
The deadline was posted three or four weeks ago, with a very sensible suggestion that the fate of the world did not hinge upon the results and that it wasn't necessary to hear every single song before voting.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:05 (five years ago) link
I expect nothing less than quick voters being impatient and having the ability to lose interest quickly though. I should be jealous of people that have the ability to get real excited about things though.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:06 (five years ago) link
You've convinced me. Let's extend the deadline to July; there are under-2:00 songs being released as we type, and we need to hear those too.
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:07 (five years ago) link
Sorry--general frustration. We go through this with the ILX film poll too, with people wanting to push back the poll until they're able to see everything (so we do it in the summer now). I just find the whole nomination-discussion-results cycle of every ILX/ILM poll takes forever.

Nahh. Keep things the way they are. It doesn't matter to me if I don't submit a ballot since I had fun making that youtube playlist. That’s my baby. Not the results.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:11 (five years ago) link
I have managed to make all 300+ songs transition nicely so far. I have been reuploading youtubes just to make less severe volume change between songs. I have reached a punk/metal/noise block in the playlist and I look forward to syncing those songs together as I finish the playlist.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link
flopsy can you can just submit an unranked ballot of your fave songs from your youtube playlist? or something
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:17 (five years ago) link
(xpost) That's it; what you get out of these things, to me, has little or nothing to do with the results or how comprehensive your ballot is. I'm sure your playlist helped lots of people fill in gaps. For me, the fun is in putting my ballot together from what I already know, plus the first couple of weeks of discussion. When the results are posted, I may listen to any high-placing songs I don't know (I'm more inclined to seek out high-placing films I haven't seen).
― clemenza, Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:20 (five years ago) link
I can probably hastily throw something together tomorrow. Saturdays are for lying in bed til dinner.
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:20 (five years ago) link
Karl, please post the youtube playlist next to the spotify playlist at the top of the results thread. Thanks
― plastered in paris (FlopsyDuck), Saturday, 30 March 2019 20:25 (five years ago) link
Can you just use my nomination list on the other thread as my ballot? I have no time to engage this any further but thought about my noms at that time.
― L'assie (Euler), Saturday, 30 March 2019 21:06 (five years ago) link
Ballet submitted.
― that's not my post, Saturday, 30 March 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
XXXP: Hehe, I thought about nominating Smudge, Sneeze, et al, but Aus stuff so often arouses limited interest. (Though "Into Your Arms" was there.) Nice to see them acknowledged, sic.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 30 March 2019 22:32 (five years ago) link
i have absolutely no idea which songs are doing better than others (haven't put them into a spreadsheet yet or looked closely at any ballot), but let me try to give a final weekend boost to Scott Walker's "On Your Own Again", which is top 5 for me
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 30 March 2019 23:35 (five years ago) link
Just preparing ballot now, and have noticed that the Cleftones - 'Heart and Soul' is duplicated on the nominations list
Cleftones - Heart and Soul (1:53)The Cleftones - Heart and Soul (1:54)

i will submit my ballot today but i think a small extension of a day or something like that would be ok if that would generate more ballots. i don't remember a poll with a totally fixed deadline.

ok ignore my last note (I mean that was going to happen anyway), I managed to find a little time to vote. I hope Guided By Voices gets shut out, I mean I like them but c'mon.

― alomar lines, Sunday, 31 March 2019 15:41 (five years ago) link
yep!
(and tbh, don't tell anyone but there's no way i'm working on any of these ballots until 6pm (Chicago/EST) on Monday (which, unfortunately, is April Fools day, so now it'll be left in doubt whether this is all a joke), so if get your votes in by then you'll be fine. but definitely try to get them in by Hawaii Midnight if you can)

This last round of cuts is TORTURE. I was doing okay until I got to 55, now I feel like I'm killing my babies.

we're up to 45 ballots btw! with emil.y, sleeve, and alex in mainhattan's, plus my own, plus a mystery voter that i choose to believe in and that you cannot disprove, that brings us to 50
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 31 March 2019 16:05 (five years ago) link
I'll get mine in later today.

I'm just so thankful for the under 30 seconds side poll, because that meant I could cut those from my main ballot and keep them for their own category (though I did really want to see 'You Suffer' in the main poll). Up until now I forgot about the artist side poll, and also failed to write down non-nominated songs as I remembered them, so might only have one for that (it's a definite big one for me personally, though).

oh, there's a non-spotify playlist? cool, it's far too late for me to vote but i will check out the youtube playlist at least!
― Jaki Liebowitz (rushomancy), Sunday, 31 March 2019 17:00 (five years ago) link
dangit rushomancy, it's not far too late to vote!
just do an unranked ballot, 20 of your faves or whatever! vote or die! don't die!
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 31 March 2019 17:06 (five years ago) link
sorry, i just can't do it! do a poll of favorite songs that are exactly 2:00 long and maybe i can do it. :) glad to see the kenny process team got nominated, though! i've loved "mouse in the hole" for ages.

Karl, does that google ballot submission form happen to do the tabulations for you as well, or is it just a way to acquire the lists? I'd like to use this voting setup for the Bacharach poll if it's not too hard to figure out.
