as much as i love it, 'from disco to disco' is from about 1996.

last night i realized i totally forgot a big one! hate that. oh well.

AND now i've got "finally" stuck in my head. What's next, Tuesday?!

which one, i'll add it

Michael Mayer - Love is Stronger than Pride

Thanks, V.

Would you add one for me plz?

Mark Ernestus vs Konono No 1 - Masikulu Dub

I forgot the secret bestest thing ever, if you like cheesy pseudo trance.

sure thing, i am happy to add whatever people want BUT keep in mind ballots will be coming in so be timely or people might not see your addition before they vote

did anybody submit some nominations that were a scramble of greek letters? i think they got scrambled into nonsense when i imported the text into the spreadsheet

i added 'sequencer' by lifelike and 'man or mistress' by levon vincent to the spreadsheet plus a couple of others but they seem to have gone. not too bothered about the others but could you add those 2 please? partic the lifelike as i'll be placing it p high.

i don't think anybody can edit the spreadsheet but me

i mean, i don't think anybody can edit the spreadsheet except PETE TONG

one thing that could possibly be helpful - if anybody sees anything split into two or more artist names (for example saint etienne vs st. etienne) let me know and i'll try to reconcile or cross-reference to make it easier for people to search

VOTES ARE DUE BY OR ON JUNE 1 2012

i don't mean now, it was last week. i thought it was suggested we do that. i mean, it let me do that. anyway, thanks for the adds.

anyone else have problems pulling up the spotify playlist? or is it a spotify uk only thing?

did anybody submit some nominations that were a scramble of greek letters? i think they got scrambled into nonsense when i imported the text into the spreadsheet

Yeah, I nommed a Greek house tune by Αλλού, it's a collab between Savvas Ysatis and some other guy, and it's really dope (basically these half-spoken, half sung, kinda sleazy sounding vocals on top of deep and minimalist house beat). I used the Greeks letter because I don't how to translitterate them, the record sleeve has only Greek text. Here's Discogs link to the album, the track is called Όνειρα. Maybe someone here knows how to write it in Western alphabet?

i'll just call it that on the spreadsheet - like i said it got scrambled in the import and i didn't have time to try to find it in the thread, but i can put it in now ...

Allou - Oneira

means dreams i'm guessing

based on what i know about the greek language (which is basically exclusively from formulas) looks like ... allou - oneira (?)

which i guess probably translates to something like "dreams", no idea what "allou" means

hah xpost

lol i got my transliterative skills from reading Gibbon

i look at that and see ALPHA WAVELENGTH WAVELENGTH, also i think density / resistivity before i think rho

late great is there any particular format you'd like the ballots in other than 1 - 50?

Sent off my ballot, now's when I remember all the great stuff that wasn't on there.

Is posting of ballots kosher? Or would that just take up too much space?

think there's three or four things in your list i'm voting for too

i'm predicting daft punk's gonna take this one

They are the only group aside from Metro Area that I've consistently listened to over the last 12 years.

lol dont post ballots it ruins the surprise!!!

anyway sent mine in

henrik schwarz name is misspelled a couple of times once on 'where we at' and on 'leave my head alone brain'

cool will fix

lol dont post ballots it ruins the surprise!!!

^ good point!

i still listen to DP but only early banging stuff, not discovery or post-discovery. i don't really listen to metro area anymore but i like them in theory, i guess.

Well anyone who saw what I was nominating wouldn't be that surprised.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

Yeah, I'm mostly about Homework.

I think I have the most middle of the road taste of anyone on ILX.

idk i voted for 5 your picks and different traxx by a few other artists ::shrug:: voting for really idiosyncratic or perverse stuff is p w/e anyway w/ these things

ok pete tong added greek scramble to the list and fixed three henrik schwarz typos. let him know what else he can do to make your poll experience better.

I guess its too late to pretend that I've been listening to exclusively Underground Quality and FXHE 12's over the last 10 years.

My pipecock credentials are in ruins.

I'm going to go put on my hair shirt and listen to Hieroglyphic Being until my ears bleed.

i don't think your taste is middlebrow! it's just not the same as what i'm going to be voting for.

now validate my taste

I'm just kidding, don't worry about it. Suppose I feel a little self conscious considering how much my taste has changed.

I tried to vote for what I actually liked and played out over the last 5 to 7 years over what I'm listening to now.

I'm sure your list is incredibly tasteful yet approachable Lamp.

v there's a 'sound stream' and 'soundstream' on the spreadsheet, also for the latter the track '"live" goes on' is listed twice (but one without the quotation marks).

Sorry if I'm dumb, but how the hell do you copy & paste the full list from the Google spreadsheet to Word or some other text editor?

Also, the list still includes "Knights of the Jaguar", which came out in 1999.

Ok, let's do the following: I'll start rolling results August 20. I wont be adding results from any more ballots this week because I'll be working on some sort of graphics for the results starting next week, so whoever is still missing they have until Friday morning to send me their ballots (this includes you vahid!).

That means THIS Friday morning not the following one.

will do

49 ballots.

woot

Oh yeah dsb's ballot is also in there forgot about him. Thats 50 ballots actually, sorry.

Actually 49 still, I had counted your ballot before, dsb. Only I wrote your name as Dave since that was the signature at the end. Just realized it says dsb in there.

Testing for image size dont mind this.

http://i.imgur.com/67XdK.jpg

how do you paste a youtube link without embedding the video? I forgot.

well image size does get reduced in here. Is it readable as is?

looks pretty cool to me

that looks terrific.

Would be good to just post the link, rather than embedding. For whatever reason, on my iPad this means I can't see half the Youtube videos.

Thanks guys.

Chewshabadoo: that's precisely why I'm asking how to post the link without embedding.

let me see if this works...

nope.

how about

http://youtu.be/AEoh-fPXMqc

which you get from the share button on youtube

I approve of Moka's test choices.

Just pasting the youtube clip address:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZzc2u_BEM&feature=g-vrec

Pasting the youtube clip address with the square brackets url tags at either end:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKZzc2u_BEM&feature=g-vrec

Hmmmmm. So neither of those methods.

www.youtube.com/v/ZKZzc2u_BEM&feature=g-vrec&fs=1&hl=en

^^address without the http

I mean ...

[ url = address with the http ] address without the http [ / url ]

http://youtu.be/AEoh-fPXMqc

k the share button on youtube works! thanks!

vahid!

It's Friday!

extremely busy weeks...totally forgot to vote. oh well...

rusty: vahid still hasn't sent me his ballot and I don't want to leave him out of this since it's his thing, so maybe you're still in time to send me one throughout the day.

graphic looks good!

skip me

You'd be number 50. Oh the irony.

do it vahid!

this is necessary

ok ok i sent my ballot in

i also forwarded a ballot from dog latin

uh oh you 51'd the poll

Nah dog latin send me his already, he's still number 50. Whats the irony of it? I don't get it.

Anyhoo that's it, we're closing at 50. No más ballots.

i think the irony is late was shooting for 50 ballots and by not submitting himself he would have left this on 49. anyway, yay, nice one moka, phew. epic.

I figured the irony was he wasn't going to submit a ballot despite originally being the one who was going to be counting the votes.

maybe a mixture of the two.

i think the 'joke' was that 51 was/is a rather notorious # for ilx because it was threshold for suggest ban so that voting 51x meant that the poll is banned from ilx or w/e

SO MANY JOKES

Uh, I was referencing V's desire for 50 voters. But all that other stuff too, yeah.

It's like rain on your wedding day.

v's beloved childhood pet died when a towering stack of 50 ballots collapsed upon it. the 50th ballot, the one that caused the tragic topple, was vahid's own.

you told me she ran away!!!

meanwhile you were burying her in the backyard

that was cold, mom

true story (mine was not quite as long-haired and also more golden)

I've only just noticed the results are rolling out, would have been good for a link to have appeared here:
