If you're only going to vote for two records titled La vita nuova in the albums poll this year, please consider making them the ones by Maria McKee and Christine & the Queens!
Voted.

i hit a point in submitting my ballot where it was more or less the things i listened to chronologically first on the albums list that made the cut and vice versa for tracks. Anyways! No one is going to be angry if you change your mind tomorrow; the world will little note nor long remember what we say here.

Aye. Semi-random is pretty much inevitable in both inclusion and ranking within individual ballots, the best remedy is wide representation of ballots.
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 22 January 2021 16:43 (three years ago) link
My albums ballot was fairly well considered, and then I half assed my tracks list and still couldn't manage to pick 25 that I actually liked.

had the genius idea of sorting the tracks nominations playlist by length so that it was easy to isolate the bobbins stuff i missed last year, having a great time

okay, i just hit carl stone and imago did you nominate this?No shade, i'm liking it.

ohhhhhh wait i do know this, tangenttangent saved it to a playlist of finds, yeah it's pretty cool
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 17:40 (three years ago) link
n.b. for all you worried collusion-counters out there: we are no longer collaborating ballots at least, having last year transcended the plane of mere 'relationship' to become 'ilxor chums', the highest state. still expecting some overlap mind
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 17:46 (three years ago) link
Carl Stone is excellent fwiw
tracks I liked:
Janelle Monaethat "Weedman" trackPloneBlackpink "Pretty Savage"

Carl stone’s radio show changed my life in high school
― brimstead, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link
I have “bugsnax” caught in my head this morning <3
I’ve got 26 tracks and not sure which one to cut, man my life sucks lol

sorry if any special characters have been smudged, have to send via my work computer to my phone and back again due to firewalls x
― nxd, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:20 (three years ago) link
i had 27 and extremely brutally got rid of two that would a) never place and b) were from albums i'm also voting for
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:20 (three years ago) link
Yeah I cut a few of my favourite tracks from the year because I was also voting for the album.
― groovypanda, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:30 (three years ago) link
neither were cut from my top ten though. i wouldn't do that
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:31 (three years ago) link
Ah god. I'm getting there, just about. I am scrapping the "don't vote for the same artist in both polls" thing I've been doing for the past few years as there are a few things I want to rep for in both places. But it's doing me bloody nut in m8s.
― emil.y, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:34 (three years ago) link
oh yeah there are a few unavoidable ones, that's never been a rule for me

It was like the top of that playlist! The Carl Stone is p much one of the best things I've found.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:48 (three years ago) link
Last minute rep for the Jean Dawson album! It's half hour long and extremely infectious if you are inclined to enjoy top tier glitchy emo rap.
― tangenttangent, Friday, 22 January 2021 18:51 (three years ago) link
This has to be done tonight? 10 is looking a stretch at this point anything friendly records out there?
― saer, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
Last minute rep for that one Klô Pelgag track, which is like a giant swirling dream of French classic pop, indie folk and new romantic synths that a certain ilxor happens to feature on quite prominently

Feeling very sad about bumping off of some of my own nominations right now. They definitely needed to be options but it feels like a waste.
― emil.y, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:25 (three years ago) link
oh yeah the two I bumped last-minute were my own nominations. you need to be able to kill yr babies. so sad
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
Voted! Tracks only, I just ran out of time to listen to the album noms and my album listening has been sparse enough this year that I think I could only put 4 or 5 on there I was really excited about.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 22 January 2021 19:28 (three years ago) link
That was tough, but I was able to whittle it up to 7 in the end!
― saer, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:29 (three years ago) link
I mean 8. I think it was 8 the screen was far away
― saer, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:31 (three years ago) link
I nominated the Carl Stone track. Have been going through some of his earlier stuff this last week. This guy has been putting out some amazing stuff for a while.
― silverfish, Friday, 22 January 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link
I liked the album a lot, just didn't vote for it since I didn't listen to it in 2020.
― Inside there's a box and that box has another box within (Sund4r), Friday, 22 January 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link
ok voted. early for me!
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
so glad the deadline here is midnight PST, I can do this
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Friday, 22 January 2021 20:38 (three years ago) link
I really regret not nominating this year, lotta stuff I dug didn't make it
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Friday, 22 January 2021 20:39 (three years ago) link
e.g. where the fuck is the Alex Dowling album
I would have broken my "don't vote for things you didn't actually hear in 2020" rule for this had it been nominated:

this year I just voted for the 25 traxs I nommed so it went v smoothly. and I listened to less than 15 whole albums during the entire year so that went well too.
― oscar bravo, Friday, 22 January 2021 20:47 (three years ago) link
Ballots submitted. Predictably feel happier with my albums choices than with tracks. Thanks to everyone who nominated and campaigned though, have ended up with loads of fun new finds which I'll be going back to even if they didn't make my final ballot.
― Mr Andy M, Friday, 22 January 2021 20:50 (three years ago) link
Broke my one song per artist rule with Taylor but I kept it to one per album!
― Indexed, Friday, 22 January 2021 21:08 (three years ago) link
voted. lotsa tracks i was counting on y’all to nominate that didn’t make it. first year I do mixed ballots—fun! excited for results, thx to poll runners
― flopson, Friday, 22 January 2021 21:13 (three years ago) link
Argh, okay, I voted. Not entirely happy with the ordering but I ended up fiddling too much and needed to just send. It is done.
― emil.y, Friday, 22 January 2021 21:17 (three years ago) link
I, too, have also voted
― winters (josh), Friday, 22 January 2021 21:33 (three years ago) link
So I was listening to the nominations playlist and a track came on by a band called ROAM with very strong emo-American accents. I thought 'I bet they're from Southampton' (I loved the track ofc) and looked them up to discover they are in fact from my hometown! But then I checked the nominations thread and no one had nominated it. ARG trailhead?

just looking at this for the first time and this is uh, quirky?
CS + Kreme - Snoopy/howwouldyoufeelwithoutthatthought
two totally different releases with two totally different catalogue numbers. they've got nothing to do with each other afaict? have a feeling this one will make the 77 too, so this probably needs sorting imo
― mage uluk (NickB), Friday, 22 January 2021 22:14 (three years ago) link
howwouldyoufeelwithoutthatthought is referred to as an "epilogue" to snoopy on bandcamp, but yeah, it did strike me as a little odd
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Friday, 22 January 2021 22:17 (three years ago) link
if enough ilxors vote for literally two songs in a big trenchcoat to get them into the 77 it's time to shut this place down
― imago, Friday, 22 January 2021 22:19 (three years ago) link
it's an album and an EP grouped together
