Hey all, I've been out of the loop but now back on it. If you've submitted multiple tracks ballots or multiple albums ballots I'll just assume the last one is right. If I shouldn't be assuming this please post again itt.

We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed by Los Campesinos! came with two badges, "wab" and "wad". "wad" is still on my jacket cos yeah, I'm still wearing the same jacket, what of it? last time I saw "wab" it was getting on a train to London, who knows what became of it? I hope it is doing well and finally found the family it was looking for. The album is at number... six on my list, apparently. I would say it deserved more, it meant a lot to me, but the five above it are pretty fucken good, so lets just go with that. And that's the dilemma I have with every single album here, and why I amn't even considering any resubmission, too much heavy shit involved with every consideration, is that better that that? But then again, that was playing then, and, and... My former fiancee was born in Kortedala, but I remembered when we heard that Jens song for the first time, and that was from that Jens album... I take this shit seriously, and that's why I have to be drunkit to to do this, and that's why I can't do it at all, and btw I have so much love for all of you and your capacity to do better than me

I think I want to re-order my albums ballot but not tracks so I'll resubmit my albums ballot but not tracks (as i didnt take note of my tracks ballot) is that ok?
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 11 October 2019 23:19 (four years ago) link
I tried that, you have to resubmit both again as far as I can see
― Dan S, Friday, 11 October 2019 23:23 (four years ago) link

― Dan S, Friday, 11 October 2019 23:24 (four years ago) link
Voted

Oh man, this is stressful, I haven't studied at all.
― jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 00:45 (four years ago) link
resubmitted again, sorry for the second revision, the tracks list is difficult, I keep rethinking what mattered the most to me that decade, ended up re-ordering my top 10
― Dan S, Saturday, 12 October 2019 00:47 (four years ago) link
voted and gleefully discarded any self-imposed rules. forgot a few tracks. may drink and resubmit.

Done! I only repeated one artist (Missy) in tracks, no repeats in albums. Viva variety!
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 01:59 (four years ago) link
Resubmitted my albums (no changes, but I had to fix a typo on the last entry)
― jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link
typo?
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:22 (four years ago) link
I copied my picks from the nominations list into a Word file, and from there into the voting form, but Word autocorrected one of the hyphens into a dash. So I just fixed that.
― jmm, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:32 (four years ago) link
Ah, just wanted to make sure.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 12 October 2019 02:44 (four years ago) link
love the video for Lust for Life, it's the most SF thing ever

Nobody nominated Monster Hospital, so I had to vote for Help I'm Alive. That's ok.

How did ILM managing to get through the nominations process without including either of the first two Fiery Furnaces records or Ciara's The Evolution? Both would have been unthinkable omissions at the time they came out.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:03 (four years ago) link
I just realised there's only one Jay-Z album nominated as well.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 10:05 (four years ago) link
Also can I be churlish and point out that 'The Magical World of the Strands' was relaased in 1998 and definitely doesn't count here?

Hahaha no one nominated 'Survivor' either.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 11:10 (four years ago) link
This'll be a suitably spiritual successor to the original 2000-2004 poll as a result of all the omissions (although there were rather more brutal nomination restrictions with that first poll). Hope there's at least over 60 ballots.

Compelled to send an edited tracks ballot sorry
― or something, Saturday, 12 October 2019 12:45 (four years ago) link
I ended up voting with my heart on the albums list and heavily tactically on the tracks ballot. Impossible to pick my genuine ten favourite songs from an entire decade so I ended up piling the top 10 with records I both loved and passionately felt should be represented.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 12 October 2019 13:14 (four years ago) link
lol, Blueberry Boat was the first thing nominated in the entire poll
― imago, Saturday, 12 October 2019 14:27 (four years ago) link
I haven't listened to The Meadowlands in forever, but man, it aged tremendously well.

these did get a few votes (three so far) - those votes will be zapped (not the whole ballot, just those tracks); in a ranked ballot the tracks below will be moved up one position
