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

yr welcome to either imo

i really don't think we should start giving people's polls away to other people. i'd agree with sliding down the list to someone who's here and ready - that seems common-sensical. i'd even endorse moving the no-showers down a ways in the queue so we don't keep banging into them. everybody has seasons where they're not as active on ILX for whatever reason, life happens, but if someone's been waiting years to run poll X, it shouldn't just get tossed to someone else imho.

if someone's been waiting years to run poll X

"waiting" being the questionable term here

I have the distinct impression most people put their names on this list years ago and have totally forgotten about it

I can still do Bacharach, but due to work stuff it would be June at the earliest.

OK is there anybody around who relatively close to the top of the queue who would like to run their poll?

I've already asked ZS about the Can poll, and he was indifferent to curating it -- so it should be up for grabs to anyone willing (Moka!).

Keep waiting for someone to just go Leroy Jenkins on one of these.

i hear you, shakey. but since it's impossible to know what states other people and their lives are in, then on the off chance that someone does still want to do theirs, i feel like robbing them of that is a bigger wrong than the rest of us not getting to vote in that poll at that particular time, y'know? especially when there are a million more down the queue that we can just bump up in the running. i just really would hate for it to become a precedent and then oh whoops my poll comes up in the same week that i'm moving or starting a new job or whatever the fuck.

"Send an email to this user?"

I will be happy to do Hendrix or Fairport from the list above.

no you're not

xxposts to Doc C - we can discuss when the time comes :)

If Zs is fine with it I can start running the voting thread for Can.

Oh for the love of God somebody please start a poll. Things have dwindled down to arguing about the moral implications of fake sex tapes leaked by inane synth pop duos. Music fucking sucks right now.

Keep waiting for someone to just go Leroy Jenkins on one of these.

You're waiting for someone to play violin with the AACM?

If someone can do a quick whatever with the pivot table to tally results for me at the end of voting, I'll start Van Halen tonight.

Everybody wants some!!

I have no idea what that means, and you have no idea what I was talking about. I think we're even.

Go for it, I'll do your results for you.

Still makes me chuckle

xp Thanks nate! I'll copy all the ballots over for you at the end of voting and you can do your thing.

One break, comin' uuuuuup... ILM Artist Poll #75 - VAN HALEN (Voting thread)

No problem! Although could you send the ballots over to me as you get them? That way I don't have to do all the duplicate checks etc in one go.

I think you've got my email address from voting in one of my polls?

Sure, will do.

Can poll on hold then? O_O

man u should just do all the poll graphics

If I do get to run the Can poll was actually thinking about mixing some 70s illustration + advertising instead of bands photos (otherwise it will all be b/w which is not a bad look but idk...) - like so:

What do you think?

Great but that first one is a photo of Popol Vuh isn't it?

I like the adverts over the band photos!

(I like the band photo mockup plenty, just that I prefer colors over B&W for the full Moka effect.)

Moka, those are beautiful!

I didn't mean to jump in line. Nobody was doing anything and hadn't been doing anything for a while, so I moved Van Halen from pending to active.

― Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.)

Yes! Hahaha good eye. I was doing tests and just googled Krautrock.

No worries JF I'm actually kind of busy opening yet another bar/restaurant with some partners and I was jumping in because noone was doing a poll. I'll be happy to wait or leave the Can poll alone if ZS wants to do it.

ASK KARL MALONE

^^^ Karl Malone == ZS for those who still need to update their .xls.

Moka, those are beautiful!

i was wondering why florian fricke was in the can poll too!

Johnny Fever: have you had any ballots yet? Can you forward any you've got to me so I can make a start?

Six in. Just sent them your way.

If Zs is fine with it I can start running the voting thread for Can.

go for it! i have 3 major life events happening all at once right now, so no point on waiting on me. but i'd be happy to someone do it!

Have you seen Junior's grades?! ILM Artist Poll #75 - VAN HALEN (Results thread)

who is ready?

ay

great, Jimi Hendrix is next ;-)

Spotify Playlist of #1's from these polls updated: https://open.spotify.com/user/pplains/playlist/0kvFfYc22XpoGjCkvfoMZf

Let me know if you see anything inaccurate.

Oh cool, I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that you'd made that.

I'd like to do a Devo poll, can that be added to the list please?

pplains: The Neil Young #1 was "Powderfinger," not "Only Love Can Break Your Heart." I don't think it matters, though, neither one's on there.

Both Neil Young songs can be found on Tidal.

Who the fuck really listens to Tidal? #betamax

Looking forward to Hendrix.

Hendrix when?

some dude doesn't believe in clocks.

Devastating head-fake.
