i have usually done a roll out when i got up on my day off, so around 9 - 10 AM ish on the West Coast. depending on how many you may want to roll out, i usually roll out about 20 - 25 per day and one result every 20 minutes or so. also have run things during the week but have some spill over until Saturday and even my Steely Dan one ran into a Sunday.
― Bee OK, Monday, 22 March 2021 23:00 (three years ago) link
think i have been closer to 15 per day. so say, 15 per day and spread out over around 20 minutes each then it would be a five hour rollout. perfect, imo.

This is awesome feedback and advice, thanks, everyone!
― Naive Teen Idol, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 00:40 (three years ago) link
alternative: five per day! or three! if i ever do a poll again that's where i'll be. i hate "missing" the rollout convo cause of work or w/e, but also you'll never please everybody, so whatever feels good to *you* is the best standard - you're putting in all the work after all!

Good input for me too--DOOM poll upcoming is my first. I was thinking to wait til right after the Rundgren rollout is done if that's alright.

so is the situation now that there isn't any real order to any of these and I can just do my no wave poll whenever, like before we had this thread to organize things?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:19 (three years ago) link
no-one took it and wanted to run it, so it's still open for someone if they want to run it.

I'm super busy with work for the next couple months, so it's not like I can do it right away, but ... I've been kinda waiting my turn for lol a few years?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:20 (three years ago) link
yes no order, just say when you are ready so we only have one poll going at a time. a bunch of people signed up but haven't followed through.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 23 March 2021 16:22 (three years ago) link
Thanks Bee OK. I meant as opposed to starting during Rundgren rollout.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Tuesday, 23 March 2021 17:22 (three years ago) link
FWIW, rollout for Rundgren is starting tomorrow. Expect to be done by the end of the week.

What falls under the banner of "The Chic Organization?" I'm assuming it refers to more than just albums and singles released by Chic?
― edited for dog profanity (cryptosicko), Thursday, 29 April 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link

Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards produced for a series of artists in the years 1978 to 1982. They sometimes produced under the name 'The Chic Organization'.

so who's next?
― ufo, Thursday, 6 May 2021 11:11 (three years ago) link
i was going to open the Shoegaze albums and EPs poll but the last poll went a bit long and my window closed. i might do Super Furry Animals this summer but unsure if there is enough interest? regardless of that i do have something else up my sleeve and will move forward with that next week, i think it will be a lot of fun.
― Bee OK, Friday, 7 May 2021 22:57 (three years ago) link
SFA would be great
― ufo, Saturday, 8 May 2021 00:25 (three years ago) link
It sounded like there was pretty good interest in an SFA poll on their thread. I'm excited for it at any rate!
― Vinnie, Saturday, 8 May 2021 01:02 (three years ago) link
i think the poll will be popular enough, i'm just worried about how many will vote. anyways, i will run in exactly like the Boo Radleys poll that i ran. Ablums/EP's/Tracks. it will take some time to revisit everything. anyways, i will try and run this summer unless something, in real life, prevents it.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 8 May 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
anyways, anyone up to run poll #109?
― Bee OK, Saturday, 8 May 2021 23:37 (three years ago) link
Is sarahell still "super busy with work"? Kinda feel like it's their turn now if desired. (Plus, admittedly, some No Wave immersion is personally appealing at present. :) )

Gearing up to do a Loudon Wainwright III poll over the summer if people are interested, if that works.

i can probably run something starting next week if no one else is stepping up?
so throwing some ideas for polls around that aren't currently taken, is there immediate interest in any of these:Destroyer?Sufjan Stevens?Afghan Whigs (& other Greg Dulli projects)?Taylor Swift? The Knife & side projects?Roisin Murphy/Moloko?Maxwell?
Kanye is one that should happen someday but i guess now's probably not a great time when he's at a career nadir and everyone's sick of his shit
i would really love to see the 2010s poll happen this year but that'd be too much for me alone at the moment
maybe it'd be a good idea to make a new thread, and have everyone register to run stuff again, with people giving a planned timeframe they'd hope to be able to run their poll. obviously giving people who are on the current list rights & priority if they're still around but clearing out people who are inactive these days? or just go through the current top of the list somewhat and get people to say when they're able to next run something idk
― ufo, Tuesday, 18 May 2021 15:45 (two years ago) link
just throwing this idea out for some day:
DEERHOOF
i don't think it would be a huge number of voters, but they have a large catalog with exceptional songs on almost every release.
