Just voted

Just voted. A somewhat rushed ballot. Wish I'd had more time to listen to the Spotify playlist, and to re-listen to some of the things I've voted for. Oh well ...

Also, I probably would've nominated 'Close Encounters' by The Orb. Seems like all the other 'epics' from U.F.Orb were nominated, but not that one.

Forgot about the poll until 2 days ago so I just voted for tracks I already knew. When I have a spare year or two I'll start investigating the rest of the nominations...

just voted. ended up not including stuff like Feedbacker by Boris or the entire second part of Kate Bush's Aerial, because i didn't think it was fair. do wish i could have voted for more metal, but it wasn't to be.

Voted. I meant to listen to a lot of stuff before voting but sickness and family-related shit got in the way so I'm basically just voting for my noms + other stuff I already know.

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Saturday, 28 March 2015 13:55 (nine years ago) link

Ballot sent. Somewhat ordered (based on iTunes ratings, mostly) but largely random, and I didn't have time to listen to anything so it's really just stuff I already knew and loved.

Gimme Gimme Pop Secret (Old Lunch), Saturday, 28 March 2015 21:19 (nine years ago) link

43 in, not counting my own (which still isn't done)!

PS kornrulez, just wanted to know that I am awaiting your reordered ballot.

Just sent it to you, my apologies for the delay

kornrulez6969, Saturday, 28 March 2015 22:49 (nine years ago) link

No worries!

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Saturday, 28 March 2015 23:00 (nine years ago) link

Am working on mine rn, in the middle of a noisy crowded bar I'm committed!

How long have I got?!

ledge, Sunday, 29 March 2015 00:07 (nine years ago) link

If you need more than let's say 5 hours, I may be able to accommodate you.

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2015 00:11 (nine years ago) link

The more sedate tracks on my shortlist are not faring well! :(

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2015 00:18 (nine years ago) link

Ballot sent!

Damn, it's 2am. Hastily ordered ballot sent.

ledge, Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:10 (nine years ago) link

Thanks!

We're at 47 -- let's see if we can get to 50!

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:15 (nine years ago) link

sorry to be dense, but in what format should we send you our ballots? should we c&p them into the body of the email or attach them as a google doc?

the geographibebebe (unregistered), Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:27 (nine years ago) link

C+P into an email is preferred.

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:37 (nine years ago) link

ok, will do

the geographibebebe (unregistered), Sunday, 29 March 2015 01:38 (nine years ago) link

Go for it! I'm still accepting ballots! Not to mention finishing my own.

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Sunday, 29 March 2015 22:29 (nine years ago) link

Eric -- did you send one yet?

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Monday, 30 March 2015 01:50 (nine years ago) link

oh i'm guessing "the sky was pink (james holden remix)" was disqualified bc it's like 9:59 but still kinda bummed i couldn't vote for it

Just sent a ballot -- hope it's not too late.

jaymc, Monday, 30 March 2015 03:07 (nine years ago) link

Ballot sent ... hope it's not too late.

that's not my post, Monday, 30 March 2015 03:40 (nine years ago) link

couldn't plough throw as much of that playlist as i wanted/ intended to. really looking forward to the results, which will provide a more pointed & concise overview of stuff i haven't heard that i need to listen to.

charlie h, Monday, 30 March 2015 03:48 (nine years ago) link

I'm probs gonna know like 5% of the final rollout.

#wegonnabechampionship (Spottie), Monday, 30 March 2015 04:05 (nine years ago) link

Eric -- did you send one yet?

Argh, my draft didn't go. I'll send it now and hope I'm not past the buzzer.

Eric H., Monday, 30 March 2015 05:33 (nine years ago) link

When do you think rollout's gonna start?

(Not trying to rush you or nothing)

Get on with it Leeee

Did I make or miss the cutoff?

Eric H., Monday, 30 March 2015 17:10 (nine years ago) link

Eric, your ballot is counted!

A-Hanisi Coates (Leee), Monday, 30 March 2015 17:13 (nine years ago) link

Stevie Wonder thanks you.

Eric H., Monday, 30 March 2015 17:16 (nine years ago) link

we're lying in bed reflecting on how this poll hates the British

u have wiked together fiords (imago), Monday, 30 March 2015 21:56 (nine years ago) link

I still haven't figured out why this poll is called "Not an Epics Poll."

jaymc, Monday, 30 March 2015 22:21 (nine years ago) link

Not all long tracks are epic.

mike t-diva, Monday, 30 March 2015 22:29 (nine years ago) link

But surely some are?

Is it a reference to this series of polls from 2007 that I clearly don't remember at all...?

ftr I don't have a single British artist on my ballot, and I am not the least bit apologetic about this

the geographibebebe (unregistered), Monday, 30 March 2015 22:50 (nine years ago) link

how is that even possible, we invented epic
