^ Greg, I'm glad that you liked Brandt Brauer Frick! Would you like to host the next edition?

I'd be up for it. And down for it too.

All 7 of my 5 pt tracks made in for voting. This did make it challenging. Listened a few times to get it down to a top five. Finally settling on:

Brandt Brauer Frick
Cola de zorro
Midlake

Followed closely by honorable mentions:

Yôkaï
So Sner

Nice poll everybody!!

Lots of fun to engage again with this group.  Excellent job, Nick, George, and of course, thanks to Lorenzo, as always!

My votes go to Ana Alcaide, Brandt Brauer Frick, and Cola de zorro. Honorable mentions to Yaya Kim, Yokai, Kikagaku Motyo, Mondkopf, Lalar, and Elisa (who'd have thought?). This was a great poll actually because finding out about something new is always good and there was much good stuff. However I do have my troubles with the general trend to do polls that require more effort, and I also wouldn't have complained about a few days more break after this one.

I wanted to give Mila a chance to get hers in this weekend, as she will be busy on the weekdays. No one needs to start posting their selections in my poll yet, one could think of it as a heads up so I didn't see the advantage in waiting to put it up. I think mine should be easy if one chooses to only listen through the nominations, but we will see if we get more than eight people. My trend almost always has always been to make them more challenging, often not juts for the participants, but for me to prepare them (such as that one where I posted every past Interactive Topic to consider music one had posted to but nominated before). That took quite a long time to prepare. Sorry if they way I approached the new poll is unsatisfactory to people. As I have often said, and no one has openly disagreed with me that I recall, I see no issue with having one poll going on in the nominations stage while another is going on in the voting stage, and this current poll has been going on for a considerable time. I had hoped that by giving people two full weekend to nominate, it would make things feel less hurried and forced as well as giving people more of a chance to consider their choices. Sorry to Nick and others if it distracts from this poll in any way (that's not something I would have wanted) or people would have liked a break. Maybe breaks between polls might not be a bad idea. Like once everyone has voted who can, wait a week before starting the next poll to give people a chance to revive before thinking about the next. Not what I would want, but these polls should not feel like a duty or a burden, imo (not that anyone need feel compelled to participate in all of them or get started quickly when anew poll emerges unless it is on a short deadline -- I think my deadline is long enough not to feel rushed). Sorry for not waiting longer if it causes anyone added stress or distracts from this poll.

And Nickie reminded me with her response above, thanks for the song mention, as I had forgotten to... Glad you enjoyed YAYA Kim. :)

^ I'm often of the shoot first, ask questions later mentality.

I get how it can be nice to really savour a poll, and then take a break from it before even thinking about the next one. When it feels like a conveyor belt system where it's constantly "moving on, on to the next task" that can take away the enjoyment and burn one out (speaking from own experience). I don't want this to became too much of an out with the old and in with the new series.
I would like it to feel more casual and more organic where each poll has space to breathe, and so do the participants. I used to be much more "get on with it, enjoyed that, but now let's move on and do the next" in my mentality as I had wanted everyone to get a shot and not have to wait wait seemed like ages for a turn as I mentioned before.

I will miss your presence. I was going to ask if you could drop by that thread even for any little comments as I love your commentary and perspectives on a wide variety of things (you've helped to alter my perspectives on a few things), but then you might feel sucked into it and other things of course come first and you don't go into those polls halfheartedly or halfway... You put time and thought into your comments and listen carefully.
