can I put my name down for something? would there be enough people interested to make an electroclash poll worthwhile? (factoring in the possibility of a sweeping electroclash revival by 2019 or whenever the poll would happen)

electroclash poll would be amazing.

I'd volunteer to host one or substitute if the spreadsheet math didn't frighten me.

I was spreadsheet illiterate before Zeppelin but it turned out not to be too hard.

A lot of it is just punching in stuff, and eventually doing some organization.

less math more data entry tbh

You could outsource, or at least hire an intern.

Worst part is data entry. 40 different ways to rank and spell the same song.

Ha, yes. "Battle of Evermore" and "The Battle of Evermore," gotta get them together. And take the numbering off the front end.

Anyway, Nate and Otis, whatever you two wanna work out is cool. Might be time to shift from the fascist tyranny of a numbered list to a system based on pure clean energy levels and auras and chakras and e-meter readings and whatnot.

If there's no objections I'm going to start the Radiohead poll in the next hour.

There's only the Radiohead poll going on now, and you all usually stagger these things, right? I think if I'm to kick off the AE poll, now is as a good a time as any for me.
― Hakeem Olajuwon Howard (Leee), Monday, 8 September 2014 00:24 (ten years ago) link
That's cool -- Οὖτις was ready to start XTC a couple of weeks ago if nobody else was ready to start one, but you're at the front of the line, so fire away.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
OK so Radiohead results are happening now, then Autechre... then what? Is ET gonna do Spacemen 3 (will totally vote in that if so)
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 9 September 2014 23:00 (ten years ago) link
Good question -- I think he's still dealing with a bunch of real life concerns? I don't think donna rouge is even posting anymore, so somebody needs to claim Chic Org if it's going to happen soon. Apparently Clemenza has about a 3-week window per year to run a poll and we missed it for this year. Maybe XTC next, since you wanted to switch them and P-Funk.
I'd post an updated list, but so much is up in the air right now.
― Malibu Stasi (WilliamC), Tuesday, 9 September 2014 23:57 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, sorry--I just couldn't give it proper attention while school's on. I haven't sorted it out with mookieproof, who was going to help, but I'll be ready to go July 1st, or soon after if another poll's already underway.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 00:14 (ten years ago) link
July 1st eh

July 1st, sometime between 9:30-10:00 a.m. That's what I meant to say.

Would anybody be interested in a Siouxsie and The Banshees/The Creatures poll ?

YES, big time.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 03:06 (ten years ago) link
I know them well enough to run it if we think enough people would participate.
― LeRooLeRoo, Wednesday, 10 September 2014 03:14 (ten years ago) link
I'd certainly vote in that.
On the Classic Rock results thread there was a call for an AM Radio Gold poll. You can put me down for that. Will be the perfect antidote to a bit of G0th.

Looks like flopson had himself banned in February. We can put Iggy/Stooges on hold on the assumption he'll be back someday, or someone else can take that one. Or if anyone knows him IRL, tell him all is forgiven please come home.
