ILM Ballot Polls for 2014 and beyond -- order, timing, "I would have voted if I'd known about it," etc

I can start Yo La Tengo in a month if you guys want! Before that it might be difficult.

Actually, since I'm only doing images, a month from now would be fine for me. I could get a bunch of images ready ahead of time and just add text later.

ok, i will open The Boo Radleys if no one objects.

Fine w me. Will move you up the list

can you take me off the list? my work commitments are too much now, there's no way i can commit to running a poll sorry :(

Veg, that poll is like 2-3 years away.

so what number should i use next?

60 or 63, 65, 66?

yeah, might as well leave electroclash in place for the years' wait too, just in case

xpost

Radiohead, maybe someone else, too.

A POLL IN A CAGE ON ANTIBIOTICS - ILM Artist Poll #56 - RADIOHEAD - RESULTS THREAD

Okay, now I remember. If you look on the big list, there's no "finished" beside Radiohead.

So go ahead and do the Boo Radleys, and it sounds like we can do Yo La Tengo late April.

The "big list" is old and outdated, dont reference it

i don't know about that: Somewhere in our hearts, results won't be the same (Spacemen 3 & etc. ballot results - ILM poll #57)

damn, wrong thread: ILM Ballot Polls: where to find the results threads

and yeah clemenza, made a mistake there but corrected it in the next post...

would like to know what number, with this new system, i should use for The Boo Radleys?

pi

I don't really get why putting the poll number in the thread title is important, given how arbitrary they are and how things move around.

anyway, updated list (I bumped YLT to come after the Boo Radleys and Emo/Screamo polls, hopefully those will take about a month):

boo radleys poll on it's way! whoop!

its

Wonder how many tracks Aphex will have in the public domain by the time his poll comes around?

Because I can't draw out a poll long enough, I'm volunteering to do another one. This time for The Church...

so S3 is done, is this Boo Radleys one gonna happen now or what

I'm going to have to bow out of the Hair Metal poll (again). I'm cutting down my ilx usage for the near future, mainly by not posting/reading from work, and really won't have the time to run a poll/do the roll-out. Sorry y'all.

Booo that was one I was actually looking forward to

I'll remove it unless someone else is gonna offer to run it

when does it look like it might be up?

making those kinds of predictions is a fool's game

My Fool's guess is...sometime this summer?

just in time:

so we should probably do the national huh

Hey I'm King of The World, You Oughta Hear My Song, Come On & Measure Me, THESE ARE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES LONG - RESULTS ILM BALLOT POLL #58

Twenty-five, don't recall a time I felt this alive, so Wake Up Poll, there's so many things for us to do - The Boo Radleys (ILM artist poll #60) --- Voting open until Friday April 17, 2015

sorry if the voting was open for a little while, i had to have it open for an extra week because of work. i also asked for a lot in the Boo Radleys poll with four categories.

Just a simple song but God I love it Embedded in me, so bittersweet I’m addicted, I’m a melancholic Sing it again, I’ll be your Poll forever: THE BOO RADLEYS - ILM artist poll #60 or new numbering #65

So, what's next?

If mookieproof and van horn street are ready to look after the threads (I'll do the images), I'm okay for Yo La Tengo...although #66(6) is ahead of us.

yes 66. Emo/Screamo/Mallcore/(post)Hardcore - Mordy is next

although idk if Mordy is aware of this

Hey plz remove me from the queue- I don't have time to run a poll atm and when I do I think I'll run something outernationally not mallcore.

Mookieproof? VHS?

Very excited about the prospect of a Yo La Tengo poll.

ok - YLT is next then unless someone says otherwise. Removing mordy's screamo/mallcore poll from the list.

looking foward to ylt. they used to be my fave band.
