Could the Jane Weaver album be given its proper spelling in the albums list?

i think someone brought them both up before and i fixed the wrong one by accident

Thank you!

I mean, you can’t blame Musk either for Grimes.

I’ll let someone else tackle Grimes

My point was – dislike Kanye for whatever reasons you like, but “was in a relationship with a rich person” seems like it wouldn’t make the top 5

ILXors, assume your responsibilities of citizenship
Vote like you understand someone died for your right to do so
Good #1s are determined by people who SHOW UP
Silence is betrayal
Get mad and vote

ah man, just realised voting closes today - i thought it was going to be over the weekend. I'll try to whip up my ballots real quick!

Roz, Friday, 5 August 2022 08:34 (one year ago) link

no it's extended until end of monday, gmt

ufo, Friday, 5 August 2022 08:39 (one year ago) link

the deadline has been extended to to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August (as of two days ago)

ufo, Friday, 5 August 2022 08:53 (one year ago) link

LOL Nabozo.

Voted just now. I hadn't really been much of a "yearly list" sort of person for much of the decade, so largely started from scratch. The noms made for a good 6-ish weeks of listening!

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Friday, 5 August 2022 09:02 (one year ago) link

oh phew, thanks ufo! will def get something in by tomorrow-ish

Roz, Friday, 5 August 2022 09:29 (one year ago) link

Glad to see it was extended. i've spent this whole poll thinking "nah, i shouldn't vote, there's no way i could feel confident enough in any ballot i put together"... but I've had a total turnaround since then. I've absolutely gotta vote, even if i end up doing an unranked ballot.

Ballot submitted!

ufo, my power blipped out at the moment that I pressed send on my ballot. So I went back, filled everything out, and tried sending again. I hope I didn't accidentally send duplicate ballots.

peace, man, Friday, 5 August 2022 12:25 (one year ago) link

a vote that was simply too powerful

ban, buddy (imago), Friday, 5 August 2022 12:39 (one year ago) link

i got your ballot just fine peace, man

ufo, Friday, 5 August 2022 19:37 (one year ago) link

Albums ballot in. Working on Tracks tomorrow.

about 2 and a half days left so please get your ballots in everyone! there's still a ton of volatility in the results and pretty much anything has a chance of placing so every vote counts.

ufo, Saturday, 6 August 2022 11:02 (one year ago) link

this playlist is really very long

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 August 2022 11:31 (one year ago) link

so was the decade

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Saturday, 6 August 2022 11:37 (one year ago) link

Voted for 50 tracks and 1 album (I’ll understand if the album ballot is disqualified)

Bait Kush (Eric H.), Saturday, 6 August 2022 12:31 (one year ago) link

i'd really prefer a minimum ballot size of say, five or ten, but i forgot to specify that so i'm not going to disallow it

ufo, Saturday, 6 August 2022 12:39 (one year ago) link

Will something be required to receive a minimum of, say, two votes in order to place in the results?

Disarm u with a SMiLE (morrisp), Saturday, 6 August 2022 14:59 (one year ago) link

Working on tracks now. YOU FREAKS DIDN'T NOMINATE K. MICHELLE'S LOVE 'EM ALL????

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:31 (one year ago) link

I'm putting it on my ballot anyway.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:32 (one year ago) link

so many things not nominated. Like I think there was like less than 20 house/tech songs nommed lol. can’t belief I missed Helena Hauff.

brimstead, Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:33 (one year ago) link

wasn’t going to nominate a bunch of 12s and weird tapes nobody but me and maybe one other poster would vote for

brimstead, Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:33 (one year ago) link

but I guess I thought there were more techno fans here… times change I guess

brimstead, Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:34 (one year ago) link

I realize those last three posts are rather incongruent

brimstead, Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:35 (one year ago) link

ufo, you're honoring the ballot edits right? I went back in and added tracks to the album ballot I submitted last night (plus one more album I forgot to vote for).

If not, I'll submit a new one from scratch.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:49 (one year ago) link

>wasn’t going to nominate a bunch of 12s and weird tapes nobody but me and maybe one other poster would vote for

most of my nominations i am assuming i am on my own for. i'd be ecstatic if even one ilm'er agreed with any of my fav picks!

FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 6 August 2022 15:57 (one year ago) link

yeah ballot edits will be included

ufo, Saturday, 6 August 2022 16:15 (one year ago) link

it is done

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 6 August 2022 16:17 (one year ago) link

voted! at least I think it went through? the form acted a bit odd

kraudive, Saturday, 6 August 2022 20:27 (one year ago) link

i received your ballot just fine kraudive

ufo, Saturday, 6 August 2022 20:53 (one year ago) link

Voted, 25 tracks. Pretty minimal, I know, but those were the songs among the nominees I really loved (would have loved more if I'd had time to listen to the playlist more, I'm certain.)

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 7 August 2022 02:56 (one year ago) link

voted late, from a 1st timer -- i thought the deadline was august 9th for some reason. sorry if i did it wrong!

v much enjoyed the playlists; thanks for organizing it all

blue6ave, Sunday, 7 August 2022 07:13 (one year ago) link

the deadline was extended, i'll post that again so no one misses it

the deadline has been extended to to 11:59pm GMT on Monday 8th August

ufo, Sunday, 7 August 2022 07:49 (one year ago) link

BST?

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 7 August 2022 08:12 (one year ago) link

UTC+0 not UTC+1

but in practice there'll likely be some leeway for very last minute ballots in the hour or two after the deadline. no guarantees though!

ufo, Sunday, 7 August 2022 09:03 (one year ago) link

just under a day left to vote!

ufo, Monday, 8 August 2022 00:27 (one year ago) link

I've been thinking about tracks, I didn't nominate any so I can’t complain, but

I would have voted for Beep Dee - From Above, an amazing track that would have been high on my list

voted for Amen Dunes’ Believe as a stand-in for Miki Dora, which is his best track hands down imo but was not nominated

I like Duke Dumont’s I Got U as much as Need U (100%)

have a lot of other thoughts

Dan S, Monday, 8 August 2022 00:40 (one year ago) link

finally voted, this one was hard to complete because of real life but i had to do it somehow.

Bee OK, Monday, 8 August 2022 00:47 (one year ago) link

Beyonce's Drunk In Love is so astonishingly great, as is the video. It was her best track and it wasn't nominated

Dan S, Monday, 8 August 2022 01:19 (one year ago) link

oh I see it was nominated, damn. I wish I had voted for it

Dan S, Monday, 8 August 2022 01:32 (one year ago) link

You can edit your ballot.

Disarm u with a SMiLE (morrisp), Monday, 8 August 2022 01:35 (one year ago) link

should I just submit another tracks ballot? I already see some mistakes in mine

Dan S, Monday, 8 August 2022 01:45 (one year ago) link

you can edit your ballot & write-ins are allowed but of course are unlikely to attract other votes

ufo, Monday, 8 August 2022 01:49 (one year ago) link

it just sounds like more trouble for you. I'm really happy that you are willing to do this, it is an immense undertaking

Dan S, Monday, 8 August 2022 02:19 (one year ago) link

it's not any trouble if you mention in this thread that you've edited your ballot & only a little bit if you don't

ufo, Monday, 8 August 2022 02:23 (one year ago) link

ok, I've edited my tracks ballot, didn't touch albums
