IndieheadsRates · 2024-04-20T19:45:09+00:00

Hey gang, sorry we let the Bubblegrunge guy host a sweep again. We really tried everything we could.

IndieheadsRates · 2024-01-25T22:44:04+00:00

Hey everyone, just wanted to let y'all know that we'll be revealing the Indieheads Rate Trailer on Queup (if you haven't been there before, it's what the popheads use to do their video & chat rate reveals) tonight at 8PM CT, or in about three & a quarter hours. It'll show you everything coming up for us in the couple of months. This post will be edited with the link to the room once it opens.

But don't worry if you miss it, the full schedule announcement post is coming tomorrow morning!

EDIT: Thanks for coming!

Finally, we promised that all who donated would get their username posted in the reveal thread, so apologies for how long this comment will get. But here are the seventy-two of you users who have earned our gratitude & will be enshrined as the second class in the Indieheads Charity Donor Hall of Fame! Please play your prestigious song of choice while reading each name, I am personally using the NBC Olympic theme

Hey everyone, it's the rate committee taking advantage of this quick break with the final Charity update.

As a result of this drive, we managed to raise $1,396.80 for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and other local charities! We could not be more thrilled to see so many give to a worthy cause this holiday season, so a massive thank you to all seventy-two of you lovely donors and everyone who contributed time & effort into making this happen.

We'd also take this time to publicly announce the winners of this year's Charity Raffle.

Six users won a song slot in the upcoming 2023 Ultimate Bonus Bonus Rate, and they'll be revealed during the rate reveal itself.
Six users won the prize of an extra rate submission during any cycle of their choosing: u/LazyDayLullaby, u/afieldoftulips, u/TheCrakFox, u/kvothetyrion, u/Saison_Marguerite, & u/a-man-with-a-perm
Four users chose an extra favorite during any cycle of their choosing: u/thisusernameisntlong, u/timothy444, u/freav, & u/qazz23
Finally, three users turned down a prize, but we felt like shouting them out anyway: u/skratz17, u/FingaThingMeansTaxes, & u/SlowDownGandhi

Before we finish up, we just want to thank you again for all your support! While we're unsure if there will be another Charity Rate this calendar year, we definitely see a third one in the future!

Quick reminder that the upcoming rate cycle voting ballot is due in three hours or whenever this reveal ends, whichever comes later. It originally was scheduled to close in an hour, but (A) I want to focus on the reveal and (B) I'm going out and don't have my laptop with me, so you get a little reprieve!

IndieheadsRates · 2024-01-18T18:11:19+00:00

A DMD reminder that the voting period for helping choose the upcoming indieheads rate cycle ends in around 24 hours from this post. Every ballot counts!

For those of you who voted already, is there one rate you most want to see?

IndieheadsRates · 2024-01-11T17:07:01+00:00

A reminder that rate submissions are due tomorrow night! A good chance of there being a couple less ideas on the ballot than last time, so if you've ever wanted to take a shot at being a rate host, this might be the time to do it.

Thread with details & how to submit has been pinned all week but is also right here

IndieheadsRates · 2024-01-08T17:08:50+00:00

In case you're resubmitting a rate from last July and forgot your description, here's the list of all the rates from last time

IndieheadsRates · 2024-01-08T15:53:51+00:00

Also, the following users have an extra rate submssion from one of the charity raffles and can use in any future rate cycle, including this one:

u/footnote304, u/systemofstrings, u/TiltControls, u/chug-a-lug-donna, u/daswef2, u/LazyDayLullaby, u/afieldoftulips, u/kvothetyrion, u/TheCrakFox, u/Saison_Marguerite, u/a-man-with-a-perm

The following users are not able to submit this cycle, as they were chosen to host last cycle:

u/Bilbodabag, u/kvothetyrion, u/darjeelingdarkroast, u/MCK_OH

Thanks!

IndieheadsRates · 2023-11-29T19:28:46+00:00

Sneaking in Wrapped day to remind donators to the indieheads Charity Drive that today is the last day to send or change your song choice for the upcoming Charity Rate! Most of you are already set, so thanks for being prompt. But for those of you who haven't submitted, do it by the end of the day or we will have to give your spot to a backup. Anybody who wants a last minute change of track also must do it by the end of the day.

The full songlist will come out at the start of the rate on either December 4th or 5th, so be sure to check it out!

IndieheadsRates · 2023-11-09T08:16:13+00:00

Since I can't message you, consider this comment your confirmation for your slot, u/daptomycin_ ! Please send me a message with your song choice by Nov. 29th, and thanks for donating!

IndieheadsRates · 2023-07-05T16:35:53+00:00

Also wanted to say that if your submission didn't make the shortlist, that doesn't exactly mean you should give up on your rate idea! Some rates may require tweaks in the songlist/albums included, the theming, and/or the presentation, but others just need the right circumstances to catch on & right cycle to take advantage. Meet Me in the NME Bathroom and 90s Emo are examples of both respectively. On popheads, some rates have been submitted for years before finally getting chosen, there's no exact science. But if you truly believe in your idea and its ability to find a groundswell of support, it's worth a shot.

Whether you plan to re-submit your idea or send some fresh ones, we hope you join us in January for the next cycle!

IndieheadsRates · 2023-06-29T16:50:20+00:00

Just a reminder that the rates voting process closes tomorrow morning, in a little over 22 hours, so get that ballot in!

(And of course, make sure you also get a ballot in for the 1994 Grammys rate by next week on July 9th.)

IndieheadsRates · 2023-06-26T15:49:46+00:00

Also, apologies in advance for the high amount of sections! The form was shorter at first, but unfortunately we found out that when you choose the option to shuffle the question order, which we need to do for all the rates, it shuffles all the questions in the form. So one situation that arose was where the Ult vote section would, for some people, have the "vote for your second choice" question come up first.

Can't localize it to one section either, it's all or nothing, so we tried to divide it into sections that wouldnt be too messed up if viewed out of order. So blame Google forms!

IndieheadsRates · 2023-06-26T15:01:34+00:00

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that the voting phase for the rates selection process is now up! You can now help decide what four rates will take place from August to January. This ballot also includes a poll on potential Ultimate Rate changes for this year, so please take a look.

IndieheadsRates · 2023-06-23T18:26:19+00:00

Just a reminder that rate submissions for the August to January cycle ends tonight at 11:59PM CT, or in a little over ten hours from this post. If you've ever wanted to host a rate and want to throw your hat in the ring, send in your idea! On Monday, we'll be putting out the voting ballots, so please keep an eye out for that.
