Timing is

So, like, it's October, eh, and some of you will hate me for raising the ugly spectre of end of year lists already,
Everything
others will thank me for my prescience, and most will look on with varying degrees of ambivalence.
But I do remember last year someone (shoey?) took on the thankless and time eating task of curating a songs of the year project. Dunno if anyone wants to take it on (I'm not), but there's only 60 dropping days until Christmas so we might as well kick around some format ideas.

Knew we could count on you anon. Do you think your lack of english might hinder you in leading this project though?

Abahachi said...

Like tin, I can't conceivably take this on but hope that someone else will. Also, having noted that snadfrod isn't around as much as he used to be, for very obvious reasons, do we need to look for someone to take over the running of the Over Awards. I have a few things I'd like to feed in, if he or someone else wants to lay claim to the task, and I suppose that's tantamount to saying that I'd be prepared to do this if no one else is going to. There would be a timing issue, as I'll probably be over in Germany and out of reach of the internet for Christmas and Silvester, so awards would need to be either mid-December or mid-January.

Not just the end of the year... I'm looking forward to everyone's end of the decade lists (but not volunteering to curate... sorry!)

tincanman said...

I will of course help with the dropbox end and convert/tag files as needed.

Luke-sensei said...

it would be nice to have a "Spill Awards", for things like "Best Playlist", "Best Post", "Funniest Title" etc....

Abahachi said...

That was largely what I was thinking of; best podcast, best EOTWQ, best Q in EOTWQ. Not sure whether it would work better just asking everyone to send in suggestions, or asking everyone to send in suggestions and then picking out the top ?5? nominations for everyone to vote on. Or just making it all up myself, of course.

nilpferd said...

A top three or 5 songs of the year would be good- decade might be a nice extra, as Barbryn suggests, sure we could come up with a good best of the noughties between us.
Can't really see myself contributing to any other best-of noms, though, my memory isn't that good and I just won't have time to read back the entire 2009 'Spill with the craziness that is our December... how about if we just leave that one spontaneous, if anyone feels like writing something amusing and picking a few subjective highlights?

tincanman said...

um, Nilp?
You wouldn't really need to read every post of every week, duh. Ctl-F tincanman and you'll have best post, best nom, best dond, best....

Sorry Tinny just not with you m8.

Still, my search is over- I hereby nominate Tinonymous' brilliant foregoing post. I didn't even know they had some of those symbols in Cantonese. I think I've come over all faint.

Oh yeah, they got snare drums and bongos and ....

*da boom tish*

ToffeeBoy said...

@ nilpferd - bless you ...

Abahachi said...

What, you've forgotten my podcasts that easily? I think I'm going to cry.

nilpferd said...

Given the recent inundation of indigenous indignation, Aba, I think you've put your finger on another good reason for not having a formal 'Spill awards ceremony... you might feel like crying to hear that I've forgotten all your podcasts, but how are you going to feel when everybody else does too.. ;-)
Actually I think you probably posted them during my 'Spill blackout period, (how inconsiderate!) I don't think I listened to any of yours this year.

goneforeign said...

Not quite everyone!
Somehow one found it's way into my iTunes and thence to my iPod, it's come up on shuffle once.

Luke-sensei said...

nilpferd - you missed out my friend, Radio Abahachi was incredible and worth a listen for the Bojan Z tracks alone, which I keep coming back to..

Abahachi said...

And don't say you missed the amazing double act that was Japanther and SatanKidneyPie...

Yeah, okay, scrub that idea - I might offer a purely personal take, a sort of 'Pick of the Year', but I agree that getting everyone to vote would accentuate some recent issues here...

nilpferd said...

I think I listened to JP's first one, not sure if I heard the team act though. I had a pretty heavy workload Feb-May, so missed most of the stuff from around then, and I have had a bit of trouble in general finding the time to listen to the podcasts all the way through.

I do remember complimenting Abahachi on the Bojan Z track he put into his first podcast though, a fine track.

What I have also missed is the continuation of your jazz posts, Abahachi- it would be nice to have a few more of those to chew on.

Luke-sensei said...

hear hear

A question totally not related but relevant.
El Blimp may be the only one who can answer this,
Is it possible for there to be a way that any one of us could delete the obnoxious guest, ie, first one to see it deletes it. I think we all have a list of email addresses so if secrecy/security is an issue the method could be handled that way.
Which raises the questions, why does he/she do this so obsessively, are we his only target, what satisfaction does he get? Do they have free health care in Taiwon?

All things being equal, should have enough time to coordinate another Festive 'Spill, although it is a little early to contemplate & unless someone else wants to take it on?We would have to use the db to host as Boxtr has died. Perhaps we could use the shared folders as another moving mp3's & keeping the noms a secret until broadcast - the surprise of the final 'Spill was a big part of the fun ( apart from compiling the list of noms & quality checking the files, didn't listen to the beast until the actual release myself)? As far as tags for the files, keeping these hidden on the post avoided unwanted attention from the "authorities" last time - & I'm too pretty to go to jail.

Whatever the group decides is fine by me.

Like the idea of a decade best of - in the New Year, perhaps? Volunteers?

Hoping Mr. Frod will show up to host another awards ceremony. That was a lot of fun. Hope all is well with family Frod.
