L X LB POLL: MAIN STAGE 6:30

[TrapThis]

Please pick only 3 bands that you would like to see play the 6:30 Main Stage slot for L X LB. The 6 bands receiving the highest number of votes will move on. No voting more than 3 times or using alternates.

Here is the playlist (http://grooveshark.com/playlist/L+X+LB+2012+Main+Stage+6+30/66455318). A couple of notes on it: the Atoms for Peace song is listed as Thom Yorke, but is actually from Atoms for Peace's first ever performance back in 2010. Also, nothing from Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band is on Grooveshark, so here is the video for Yellow Submarine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7ZYUyvwsg8) that was originally posted.

And... GO!

[Krentistthedentist]

Blur, Slayer, Elvis

[Five_Hole]

FNM, Portishead, Slayer

[Thisismyname]

I'm gonna think about this one for a bit.

The two bands that would be obvious picks for me would kind of suck in this slot, so.

[TrapThis]

Alice, Atoms, Foxes

[fowruok]

Blur, Franz, Yusuf.

[falcozappa]

Blur, FNM, Stone Roses

[concertgoer]

Blur, Cohen and Moz

[scottyh]

Portishead, Stone Roses, Slayer

[c1916]

FNM, Morrissey, and Justice (although I don't think either Moz or Justice fit in this time slot)

[carligula]

I just wanted to say that some of these acts probably could have been headliners, but we had so many nominated that we wanted to spread them out a little rather than overloading the headliners polls. I hope everyone is cool with that. Our fest might be a bit top-heavy, but I think we had some smaller acts for the mid-card slots which should even things out.

[PulpAffliction]

Leonard Cohen, Nas, Stone Roses.

[fiveiron83321]

Portishead, Decemberists, Franz

[PulpAffliction]

Portishead in this slot would be awful.

[carligula]

Portishead in any slot would be awful ; )

[carligula]

Slayer, Franz Ferdinand, and Faith No More please.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Atoms for Peace, Blur, and Portishead. Britpalooza.

[fishkingpies]

cohen, costello, moz

[stupka32]

Blur Costello Justice.

[MadBird11]

Blur. Costello. Decemberists.

Sort of disappointed that acts that aren't playing shows are on here still, but I'm not on the committee.

[symbionese]

what are you going on about?

[MadBird11]

Hell if I know.

[symbionese]

exactly.

[Five_Hole]

Blur. Costello. Decemberists.

Sort of disappointed that acts that aren't playing shows are on here still, but I'm not on the committee.

So disappointed that you went ahead and picked one?

[MadBird11]

*shrugs*

[carligula]

The committee assumed that all nominated acts were active. The only glaring exception to this was Postal Service.

[Krentistthedentist]

Blur. Costello. Decemberists.

Sort of disappointed that acts that aren't playing shows are on here still, but I'm not on the committee.

Sort of disappointed you're still alive.

[MadBird11]

Sorry I didn't listen to enough Jeff Mangum to want to kill myself.

[IAmScareMongering]

Atoms For Peace, Elvis Costello, Leonard Cohen.

[teekoh]

Legend & Roots
Nas
Slayer

[carligula]

When they play with John, they should go with the formal Legendary Roots Crew moniker.

[carligula]

I'd be happy with the top 6 at the moment. Can we just end the voting now? ; )

[fishkingpies]

yeah i'd like that. other than franz pretty eclectic bunch.

[Krentistthedentist]

Remember last year when the subs were so similar we had to change the rules?

[Krentistthedentist]

Biggest anomaly so far: Thissy voting for Slayer

[Thisismyname]

Biggest anomaly so far: Thissy voting for Slayer

Fair.

Portishead and Justice were out because even in hypothetical lineups, fuck sunlight.

I feel like Slayer would be a really good booking for the fest, especially since no major has grabbed them yet. I like the idea of fests branching out, so even though I wouldn't watch more than 5 minutes to ironically throw up my devil horns, I totally support them being booked.

No idea if that makes any sense.

[Krentistthedentist]

I get it. There are plenty of bands I would never fucking see but I think it would be cool if Lolla booked them.
Like, Jeff Mangum or some shit

[TrapThis]

Just so there's no confusion, we're discounting one vote a piece from Blur, Decemberists, and Costello. People accidentally voted over the limit and then realized it and let me know.

[wiscostraightup]

Blur, flips, animal collective. /shit taste!

[Krentistthedentist]

Well you voted for the worst band in the history of music, so yeah.

[wiscostraightup]

i do love me some awful bands. but which one were you referring to?

[Krentistthedentist]

Animal Collective.
Obviously not Blur

[wiscostraightup]

oh obv. my bad.

[stupka32]

Ugh Franz is winning.

[scottyh]

I figured you would like Franz Ferdinand.

[Krentistthedentist]

Well, Blur is "winning"

[KevBlu42]

You should all be ashamed of yourselves if you didn't vote for FNM. Most of the other bands are regularly touring groups anyway.

I also voted for Slayer, even though it's impossible with Mayhem and all.

[carligula]

I didn't realize that tour was happening all three days of Lolla. That's too bad. Of course, it keeps a lot more terrible acts away than it keeps good ones away.

I agree about FNM.

[scottyh]

I have no interest in seeing FNM. Sorry.

[carligula]

APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.

[Krentistthedentist]

Slayer/Blur/Franz Ferdinand/Faith No More/Elvis Costello/Atoms for Peace look like the projected victors here.

Could be worse. Good taste, board.

[concertgoer]

Happy that Blur easily received the most votes.

[Thisismyname]

I agree about FNM.

Whatevs. I mean I've seen them and I don't even listen to them.

XD

[Thisismyname]

Slayer/Blur/Franz Ferdinand/Faith No More/Elvis Costello/Atoms for Peace look like the projected victors here.

Could be worse. Good taste, board.

And that's actually a pretty good mix/balance

[fishkingpies]

still kinda boring when you think that blur, frans and atoms for peace have all been on past lxlb's.

[Krentistthedentist]

My only complaint is that no black people made it

[symbionese]

still kinda boring when you think that blur, frans and atoms for peace have all been on past lxlb's.

even if they weren't, point remains the same.

[Audiobully]

Alice In Chains
Faith No More
Justice

[nizzle]

Pretty awful list.

The Decemberists, Elvis Costello, and Portishead, I guess.

[Audiobully]

No love at all?

[arbee]

Blur, Duran Duran, Morrissey

[carligula]

Winners: Blur, Elvis Costello, Faith No More, Franz Ferdinand and Slayer
Run-off: Atoms for Peace vs. Portishead

[carligula]

How I would schedule it:
Blur vs. Faith No More
Elvis Costello vs. Atoms/Portishead
Franz Ferdinand vs. Slayer

[TrapThis]

Winners: Blur, Elvis Costello, Faith No More, Franz Ferdinand and Slayer
Run-off: Atoms for Peace vs. Portishead

Actually, Costello also has 10. One of the 11 counted is from a boarder who accidentally voted over the limit and told me to discount his vote for Costello. So, run-off between the three of them? How would that work?

[Krentistthedentist]

Stupid Xam

[TrapThis]

Okay, guessing it would just a be a multiple choice poll, and I tell people to only pick two. If that's right, let me know and I'll get it started.

[carligula]

No, do 3 options, one vote, top 2 make it. Give it 3 days.

[TrapThis]

Got it, will post shortly.

[carligula]

Thanks, dude!

[TrapThis]

No problem! Happy to help out.
