I'll ask Haq to look into the problem:

Haq, please look into the problem.

whoa. Looks like a LOT of mine aren't on the menu. oh well. I'll probably do this in a week or so.

very nice looking though.

Wow. How impressive. Great job, guys. This is really awesome and probably the best poll on the web these days.

Whoa, Masta Killa is on there, but no Masta Ace?

Nice, very nice Eric. This year is going to be tough.

edit: sticky and take down 2004 gig list or something.

Like the previous dudes, I can't submit my list because of that smarmy Explorer message. It won't let me proceed.

Yeah, I emailed Haq, but methinks he's busy with an exam or something. Sorry for the delay.

Yeah, I'm having the same problem. I'll wait til Aaron fixes it.

I'm beginning to think it may be an IE specific error. I get it in IE but not Firefox. I bet Haq and z also use Firefox, which is why we didn't find it before.

I submitted mine.

well, i submitted [i]a draft[/i of mine. for eric's sake, i hope i don't schiz out and change it too much.

One minor point: Abattoir is spelled with two "t's" not with two "b's."

I had zero problems with Firefox... again, great job guys.

I had a bunch of write-ins at first, but I chickened out. This will inspire a mix tonite.

I'll change my vote for "probable album-of-the-year" to the Arcade Fire w/ this system - very few/ no one's going to have it #1, but I'm betting it'll be either at #4 or #5 on most of the lists, which will give it the same amount of points...

What do you mean like usual? This is how I've done it every year.

I downloaded Firefox and submitted through there. Been meaning to try it out anyway.

It was hard for me to leave off things like American Music Club, Morrissey, Lambchop, Mark Lanegan, Camper Van Beethoven, Pinback, Panurge, Secret Machines and quite a few others, because I like them so much, but that's the deal when I like 20 others slightly better.

I thought Martina Topley-Bird's Anything came out in 2003 (as Quixotic). (Just an example of corroboration.) Otherwise, I'd vote for it, because it is an excellent album.

I had the same problem last year with the Beth Gibbons album. And, I think, Notwist. And Lamb.

I was going to call you on UNKLE, but someone already explained how it came out over a year earlier in the UK.

Dang British. Why do they have to come out with all the cool music that we don't figure out is cool until a year later?!?

PS Very cool. Nice work. You got almost all of my top contenders.

PPS You are, however, missing most of the important prog releases (Blackfield, Frameshift, Ayreon, White Willow, etc.). I guess you're sort of telling me where I am (in indie-hipster-land).

P^3S I can't believe you left off Miss Kittin. I'm pretty sure that made it into my top 20.

i used IE when i tested it and the only problems i had were fixed by haq. i'll probably get to my actual list just before the deadline.

Sorry, everyone! Not sure why it's doing that. Thought I had tested sufficiently. Must have happened when I added some new albums to the drop-down. I'll fix it post-haste. Nobody try to submit till I do please.

Yeah, I discovered that yesterday. Oh well.

Suggestion: You have a month until the deadline. So, rather than submit on day one and re-submit a replacement on day two, maybe you should wait if you're not sure.

We are ready, again, to roll.

Okay, it should be all fixed now. Give it a shot. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks Aaron!

All Systems Go!

Thank you Shmoo and Haq.
