Let's nudge the thread for a couple of days in case anyone who's been on deck for a while gets prompted: I'm ready to roll on Underworld, but have the 2019 film poll going on ILE right now, so want to stagger them a bit anyway. (Being locked inside for months is probably the best time for folks to try and figure out which of five nine-minute versions of different songs are their favourites, to be sure.)

Heh I think the shoegaze poll was one of my first polls so there’s no images, some of the winners don’t really qualify as shoegaze (not my fault! That’s on voters) and I broke the usual tie system into a weird one, I’m sure there’s plenty of mistakes too.

I mean it wasn’t strictly a shoegaze poll...

✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 23 March 2020 06:39 (four years ago) link

Grisso / McCain? sarahell? Eric H.? crutis?

Bee OK, Wednesday, 25 March 2020 23:10 (four years ago) link

I won't run Cardiacs and such until LSD is a vain hope tbh

I guess I could push up the Hendrix poll, and have it up tomorrow or Friday.

I GUESS YOU COULD

I mean, that would be rad.

Well, I had wanted to run it in September (see upthread) but I've got fuck all going on rn, and I have lately been digging into my Hendrix stuff (currently spinning Electric Ladyland).

sic campaigning worked, nice

Hendrix seems perfect

Bee OK, Thursday, 26 March 2020 02:34 (four years ago) link

Good stuff.

Dollarmite Is My Name (sic), Thursday, 26 March 2020 02:44 (four years ago) link

I have the 20 vote spreadsheet, but is one programmed for 25?

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 26 March 2020 03:36 (four years ago) link

Yes, thanks!

I'll see about getting this up by this evening.

a bevy of supermodels, musicians and Lena Dunham (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 26 March 2020 18:21 (four years ago) link

cool. Really don't know my Hendrix well enough and this will be a good education.

kraudive, Thursday, 26 March 2020 21:19 (four years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Should be wrapping up the Hendrix voting this week. Anyone interested in doing images for the tracks rollout?

"...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 15 April 2020 21:35 (four years ago) link

i could try to find some images on the web but i have no clue how to integrate them with the poll & track information.

I can do them with the caveat that while I can sling shit together, I am not a good designer.

“Oh, Move Over POLLER, And Let Jimi Take Over!” – ILX Artist Poll #101 – Jimi Hendrix – Voting Thread is closing after this weekend, so if you're interested, get those ballots in!

"...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 18 April 2020 15:43 (four years ago) link

I'm now more inclined to think that nobody will be able to concentrate hard enough to even tell a 1994 b-side from a 2019 remix, but the results rollout would make for good decision-free listening.

Elon's musk (sic), Friday, 1 May 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link

just looking forward to what is next

Bee OK, Saturday, 2 May 2020 02:28 (three years ago) link

How's about that trip hop poll? Though I'd suggest opening it to beyond the Bristol bands.

Judd Apatowsaurus (Leee), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 21:19 (three years ago) link

Bristol & nearby bands keeps a certain elegant purity & focus imo.

anyway UNDERWORLD IS GO!

Elon's musk (sic), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 23:45 (three years ago) link

one-week-in bump

Bleeqwot (sic), Thursday, 14 May 2020 00:22 (three years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Underworld poll is rolling out at length, top 77 start today: why don't you poll me I feel like flying to... the UNDERWORLD Poll Results thread -- produced by Smith & Hyde for ILM Artist Poll #102

an, uh, razor of love (sic), Wednesday, 10 June 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link

I'd like to bump myself in the mix for a Janet Jackson ballot poll because, really, she deserves her own apart from her family.

Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 11 June 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link

Would participate.

A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Thursday, 11 June 2020 18:47 (three years ago) link

would love that

is someone still planning to run a 2010s poll sometime in the next few months?

ufo, Thursday, 11 June 2020 18:52 (three years ago) link

Not sure what the protocol is for waiting one's turn, but I'd be happy to jump in with Janet whenever soonest available.

Dirty Epic H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 11 June 2020 19:08 (three years ago) link

I would definitely be up for a Janet poll and the 2010s one.

kitchen person, Friday, 12 June 2020 14:35 (three years ago) link

Oh god, yes please Janet poll asap

bunny slopes, Friday, 12 June 2020 19:38 (three years ago) link

With Underworld complete, I'm happy opening up a Janet poll if the people demand it.

Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 13:39 (three years ago) link

I'm there for a Janet poll, but isn't the 2010s hip hop poll happening now?

A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 16:36 (three years ago) link

It is, but I figured there had been concurrent single-artist and broader-topic polls in the past. But I can certainly wait, also.

Juanita was robbed (Eric H.), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 17:01 (three years ago) link

That's true. Not like any of us have a whole lot else going on right now, I guess.

A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Tuesday, 23 June 2020 19:24 (three years ago) link

I actually think a Janet poll is a great idea, this artist poll would finish in plenty of time. The other poll is only in the nominations period.

the future is now, Thursday, 25 June 2020 02:17 (three years ago) link

one month passes...

am i allowed to list ballot polls that haven't yet been suggested and then volunteer to run them ? i have a few.

budo jeru, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link

is the 2010s decade poll still planned for sometime soon?

ufo, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 00:47 (three years ago) link

oooh oooh, what's next?????

Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 15:32 (three years ago) link

I will be excited about the 2010s poll as soon as it stops being too hot to be excited about anything at all

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 12 August 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link

Who's going to run it? I almost could but I also think someone else should

imago, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 15:41 (three years ago) link

That is correct budo jeru, add to this thread which ballot polls you want to run. Bee will update the list with you in the queue. Ordering is all out of wack, so you can probably skip to the front if you are ready to go.

the future is now, Wednesday, 12 August 2020 20:41 (three years ago) link

oh not quite ready this instant, but thanks for the response !
