I def plan on getting to it before the deadline, but appreciate the reminders (as it’s not top of mind when I sit down to work)

i voted a few days ago but didn't announce it in here. excited for this. I feel like I was on the front lines for this decade
― gman59, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 15:12 (one year ago) link
hello ufo, many thanks for the time and energy you have put into this. i voted just now but had to add in my #2 album which although nominated does not appear on the spreadsheet. i hope this does not cause you any problems and the album in question is unlikely to trouble the top 200 so it's not a big deal.
― oscar bravo, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 15:31 (one year ago) link
it looks like this nominated album is missing from the nominations list:
Yamantaka // Sonic Titan - UZU
― silverfish, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 16:09 (one year ago) link
I voted. What a ridiculous endeavor this was. It was a fun exercise to spend time listening to a bunch of stuff I put on my year end lists throughout the decade.

I'm trying to get through the Spotify playlist, even with skips it's going to be a close thing.

Culled my singles ballot (which is to say, my sole ballot) down to 70 titles.

write-ins are fine and i will add anything nominated missing to the nominations list if you let me know that i missed it

Got my tracks ballot worked out but still have albums yet to go. I think that one is gonna be a bit harder

I've narrowed both down to 50-odd each, somehow. Now I have to put them in order.
Dull realisation: I've been an album kinda person for the last 25 years, to the point where I often struggle to put a tracks ballot together; this poll has made me realise I've gone back to my teen self, ie much more tracks focused. Fascinating, I know.

Hi
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 23 July 2022 02:24 (one year ago) link
I just voted! Like Chinaski, I am mostly an album listener but albums WAS hard to get to 50, because there's only about 40 I love and know well and maybe another 100 I liked but don't remember too well. Thought about doing some major relistening or even just capping it at those 40, but in the end, I went with my vague memories to pick the final 10. Tracks was easier because they're all songs I know well. Overall, I'm satisfied with my ballot
― Vinnie, Saturday, 23 July 2022 03:58 (one year ago) link
It's Sunday.
A good day to vote.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 25 July 2022 00:52 (one year ago) link
I'm down to 63 albums and 73 tracks. I was determined to vote by the end of today but it doesn't seem likely.
I'm tempted to be more strict when it comes to overlaps in my two lists, but I just can't bring myself to cut some of my favourite artists. I don't know how people manage to do that.
― kitchen person, Monday, 25 July 2022 02:34 (one year ago) link
I usually hate sending in unweighted ballots but after trying to rank my tracks ballot, I had to come to terms with the fact that there was no single song that was clearly my favorite of the entire decade. Any given decade I could probably make a case for at least half the songs on my list.
I did weight my albums ballot. I think there are 2 albums in my top ten that will appear on a lot of other folks' ballots, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was alone, or nearly alone, in the other 8.

btw I don't see these nominations of mine in the tracks playlist
Blood Orange - E.V.P.Childish Gambino - RedboneGlasser - MirrorageHatchie - Sugar And SpiceHudson Mohawke - All Your LoveKhruangbin - Evan Finds The Third Room
Is it still work in progress?

(also, ugh, I made a mistake: it’s DJ *Sumbody* ft. Tira, Thebe & Emza – Ayepyep)

thanks!didn't vote for anything I didn't already know but after the results will probably post an alternative ballot ft only tracks I didn't know until getting through the playlist
― nashwan, Sunday, 31 July 2022 17:03 (one year ago) link
thanx ufo!
btw, just noticed that DJ Lycox - Parabéns Moh Baba, which only has a Bandcamp link on the spreadsheet, is on Spotify as "Parabens Mo Baba"
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Sunday, 31 July 2022 18:28 (one year ago) link
looks like it was just not available in my region
― ufo, Sunday, 31 July 2022 22:24 (one year ago) link
Voted! I know I'm going to have some regrets later on, but for now it feels good to have it done.
― kitchen person, Monday, 1 August 2022 04:26 (one year ago) link
XP: arggh, the disappearance from Spotify of seemingly *everything* Príncipe was likely a regional thing too then. Worst region ever, etc, etc.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Monday, 1 August 2022 07:15 (one year ago) link
voted. basically just inserted the lists i made in december 2019 lol.

just checking that you meant to only vote for a single track?

yes, thank you

all good
formatting wasn't an issue at all

thanks - if i do get a chance to complete a 50 tracks ballot (quite unlikely this week) - i'll post an update assuming that's ok

yeah, that's fine

extremely important announcement over
got you covered!
folx, imago would also like to present a single track ballot:

I could only manage an unweighted albums-only ballot but I voted.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 2 August 2022 14:35 (one year ago) link
i finally got the track list done. making up my mind about the top-5 was tough. deciding on #s 49 & 50 was impossible. hopefully can submit ballot tomorrow.

shit. just realized i forgot to nominate on of my fav's (Revival by Deerhunter). it's high enough for me that I guess I'm doing a write-in for it. (sorry!)
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 2 August 2022 15:39 (one year ago) link
I noticed that nobody had nominated Desire Lines, which I thought odd, as I'd have probably thrown it some points. Ah well!
― imago, Tuesday, 2 August 2022 15:42 (one year ago) link
i was certain someone else had nominated it (Revival) but looks like it was a difference track.

Not at all! Ufo did the spreadsheets, the voting form and the spotify playlists which are a pain to make.

Moka, you're not doing the bbcode by hand I hope? If you have everything in a spreadsheet, any decent text editor can generate the right tags for you.
