CREATE A FESTIVAL - FINAL ROUND CHAMPIONSHIP - LOST IN MUSIC VS. MUSIC AT THE GATES

[menikmati]

Final Round, Championship Match: Lost in Music Vs. Music at the Gates

Finally, after months of preparation, and a month and a half of matches, the final round, the championship match, is upon us. Lost in Music, having survived 3 tough rounds and the only tie-breaker of the tournament, will take on Music at the Gates, the only festival left standing that has survived 4 rounds (having participated and won in the opening wild card round). The winner of this match will take home the title of best created festival.

But that's not all. With your votes, the winner will recieve:

A) A shirt with their festival logo on the front, and lineup on the back

B) Three shows of their choice from my vast live recording/bootleg library (list will be provided)

So remember, make your vote count. Vote for the festival you think is best, taking into account the lineup, maybe the location, maybe the poster, the set times, the conflicts and anything else you can think of. Take some time to listen to some of the smaller bands on the bill, for they could be the ones making or breaking this.

And remember, don't bother voting if you are (or I suspect you are) an alias. Your vote won't count. Also, don't bother voting if you have less than 100 posts, for your vote won't count either.

Voting will end next Sunday. Congratulations to both festivals to making it this far. May the best win.

(*Note* - Music at the Gates did "cheat", as it has both Outkast and Arcade Fire on the same day, when both were on the headliners list, meaning they couldn't be on the same day. It also only lists 19 bands for 2 of the days, instead of the mandatory 20. Lost in Music lists Patti Smith for Saturday on the poster, but has her for Sunday on the set times. Make of that what you will)

Lost in Music:





Music at the Gates:

[woogie846]

Oceanic Stage on Friday is looking freakishly good...however...the great lawn on Friday AND the great lawn on Sunday is looking good. This is gonna be a tough one.

[mob roulette]

Both of these are better than Lollapalooza.

[luckyface]

Music at the Gates wins in a landslide.

[suprefan]

I wonder what wouldve happend if I won instead of MATG.

[PassiveTheory]

Wow, what a shit final.

Voted for MATG; enjoy your popularity contest win.

[suprefan]

Yeah this shouldve been Poplife aginst MATG. But noooooooooooooooo

[DeltaSigChi4]

[fatbastard]

WINNER: Music at the Gates

New York's alright (if you like saxaphones)

[suprefan]

Shuw up E, lets see what festival you bust out if you decide to enter next time.

[mountmccabe]

He does have a point here; this contest would be more fun without the incessant complaining of sore losers.

[i_like_cake530]

Yeah this shouldve been Poplife aginst MATG. But noooooooooooooooo

agreed. or someone else, i can't believe lost in music made it this far...maybe clusterfuck...or neopolitan

[menikmati]

whats wrong with Lost in Music? Radiohead, Underworld, Daft Punk, Beastie Boys, Patti Smith, Justice, Beck, Wilco and more, and you're surprised it has made it this far??? I think too many of you are being persuaded by a bad looking poster.

[kreutz2112]

Lost in musics set times are all fucked up for me. Example: The last three hours of everyday. MATG, however allows me to watch all of the knife and catch the end of bowies set, watch all of Daft Punk and only miss 15-20 min of primus' set, and catch an hour of basement jaxx and watch all of radiohead. Therefore I vote for MATG.

[fatbastard]

Shuw up E, lets see what festival you bust out if you decide to enter next time.

FYI. I had one last year but lost in the semi round to Mittens. Too busy this year to submit one in time.


Note to vote counters:

I would like to change my vote from Clusterfuck. I loved the lineup but have a personal beef with the organizer.

WINNER: Music at the Gates

New York's alright (if you like saxaphones)

agreed. As much as i wanted Muertos to be in the final, Music at the Gates wins on line up, set times, and the party that is New York (although Hawaii would be a dream). To add to bastard's FEAR mention:

New York's alright,
New York's alright,
New York's alright,
if you like saxophones!

New York's alright if you wanna be pushed in front of the subway!
New York's alright if you like tuberculosis!
New York's alright if you like art and jazz!
New York's alright if you're a homosexual!

New york's alright,
New York's alright,
New York's alright,
if you like saxophones!

New York's alright if you like drunks in your doorway!
New York's alright if you wanna freeze to death!
New York's alright if you wanna get mugged or murdered!
New York's alright if you like saxophones!

New York's alright,
New York's alright,
New York's alright,
if you like saxophones!

this will be vital information in the "second chance" round.

[fatbastard]

LEE!

The last 3 hours of everyday, where you can watch an hour of each headliner? Hardly fucked up, in my opinion.

[rage patton]

Lost in Music has too many conflicts.
Music at the Gates has some pretty bad conflicts as well. But I could deal with them.

[daft$tar]

ew these were two of my least favorite - this one will be hard

daft punk on before outkast?? hmmm

[nahuatldream]

Music at the gates has a lot of what I want to see, with very little conflict in set times. Poplife would have been my festival, all the way to the end. It, by far, had the best lineup I've seen from any festival here (ever? probably). The set times were straight up retarded. I can't imagine how angry I'd have been, had I bought tickets, based on the lineup and then found out the set times. Poplife had this thing in the bag and then took a dump on it. I read the reasoning, it's still retarded. (wow, I used retarded twice...yeah, I'd have been enraged with Poplife if that were a real festival)

[kreutz2112]

The last 3 hours of everyday, where you can watch an hour of each headliner? Hardly fucked up, in my opinion.

I cant do that though. Of the headliners and acts on right before them I would have to watch entire performances. Making me choose between watching entire sets of radiohead, underworld and bss; tvotr, beck and DP; beasties and boc would be nearly impossible for me. Plus, I dont think new pornos are headlining material. Therefore I chose matg.

[wmgaretjax]

i would kill to go to MATG.

[rage patton]

I JUST noticed, Music at The Gates has Hella playing on day 3. That makes me glad x2 I voted for MATG. (Even though they conflict with Broken Social Scene. I'll let it slide, because its a small conflict.)
