Yeah, I was off my game in 2019. I mainly voted for things I already knew and liked well enough. I figure there will be more surprises than usual for me in the results.

Bravo! I'm hoping to deliver my ballots before the actual deadline this time, seeing as I've some work time to kill today.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 09:41 (four years ago) link
My ballot is entirely unweighted or I would have never gotten it done.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 09:44 (four years ago) link
My twenty years younger self would be appalled at my future self for sending in an unranked ballot, but it's the only way I can get it done on time.

brad hinting that they're voting for all the haim there
― opden gnash (imago), Wednesday, 22 January 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link
lol, i am probably voting for "now i'm in it," the new best haim song
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 22 January 2020 15:51 (four years ago) link
Going through the playlist, I realised that I hadn't paid much attention to the Haim singles this year. They're all pretty strong but yeah, Now I'm In It is by far the best.
― kitchen person, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link
LJ, what have you done.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 22 January 2020 16:40 (four years ago) link
i think i voted for two HAIM tracks; i may be part of the problem

I voted yesterday and am now listening to the Kim Gordon album and realizing I should have put it much higher on my ballot. So people should listen to this and then vote for it. "Hungry Baby" is so good, I should have nominated it in tracks.

It was on my longlist but had to make way for a fourth Wizkid song.Seriously, there's so much competition for tracks, even if you were sticking to afro nominations.

Rina Sawayama - STFU!

& if you haven't voted yet then don't forget to copy&paste your ballots into an email to yourself or other document before you hit submit so we can compare notes once rollouts are done :)

Pretty sure emails aren't sent routinely. (Hopefully -- I don't recall getting one myself.)

They're not, unless you messed up your ballot somehow (spoiler: I did).

Got both lists down to around 30 but really struggling this year to cut those final five or so from each list
― groovypanda, Thursday, 23 January 2020 14:52 (four years ago) link
it's been a great year, i've got about 35 totally brilliant songs that i've gotta somehow turn into 25

idk if anyone's going to vote for it at this point but i always find myself surprisingly receptive to julia michaels singles and "deep" is probably her best yet

i didn't do much trawling through the noms this year because... well, i think i've got a solid list that really reflects what i was attracted to this year (even though i kinda felt like i didn't pay attention at all). but i did see this black coffee remix on the list and think "well, black coffee fucking rules, i'd better listen to that" and eight minutes later i'm weeping

Got some tough decisions myself in the tracks poll. Albums won't be so hard
― opden gnash (imago), Thursday, 23 January 2020 20:51 (four years ago) link
Do I only have room for one 90s revival rock song? And if so, will it be Goon flawlessly channeling the Dandies...or Swervedriver channeling...Swervedriver?
― opden gnash (imago), Thursday, 23 January 2020 20:53 (four years ago) link
just realized i nominated the kontravoid album titled too deep and not the track, i apologize to the many ilxors whose votes i no doubt swayed who won't be able to vote for it. album is good too tho
