CREATE A FESTIVAL - ROUND 1 - TUNES AT THE DUNES VS. CITYSCAPE FESTIVAL

[hawkingvsreeve]

HA.


HA.

[keriann]

Cityscape is hot.

Love the poster.

[smokealotapotamus]

I LOVE the poster for Cityscape, but I'm going with the Dunes. I really dig the whole hybrid "roo meets coachella" vibe. I think it would be a lot of fun to see Built to Spill in an environment like that.

[amyzzz]

Tunes at the Dunes has Radiohead. Enough said. I almost decided to overlook the Coach 07 ripoff and vote for the other one, but Radiohead trumps ALL.

[fatbastard]

Need more time to think about this

Tunes at the Dunes
Chart House

Cityscape
Wimpys

[schoolofruckus]

First legitimate conflict of the contest. I think Tunes at the Dunes has more bands I want to see, but also a great deal of stuff that I would consciously avoid. Cityscape has nothing off-putting, a comparable amount of interesting bands, and the highlights (Mogwai, The Knife, M83, Fields) aren't as easy to catch as the bands I like at Tunes. And I'd rather go to London.

And the poster is better.

[Courtney]

I'm all about the Michael Jackson/Justin Timberlake combo. I'd camp it at the main stage.

Plus, M83! The National! Stereolab! Pinback! Mogwai! Les Savy Fav! This is an easy choice for me, given that I just saw so many of the good Tunes On The Dunes bands at Coachella.

[menikmati]

props to reuniting Orbital too

[orbit]

Tunes at the Dunes has Portishead. Enough said. I almost decided to overlook the Coach 07 ripoff and vote for the other one, but Portishead trumps ALL.

I can't find them in the poster

[amyzzz]

I must be on crack today.

[hawkingvsreeve]

Seriously. Way to blow your vote on that one.

[amyzzz]

Radiohead/Portishead, whatever.

I would've voted for the Dunes anyway.

[hawkingvsreeve]

You just like head, of any sort it seems.

[ewiggy]

there's no portishead. and if there were, that'd be breaking the rules big time. erik specifically said no portishead.

[amyzzz]

I didn't read the rules because I didn't participate in the festival-making. It would be a waste of time for me.

built to spill is awesome

[Wheres the beef?]

Tough choice...
Tunes:
(+) Has a creative use of a comedic element with dave attell and jim gaffigan
(+) Alot of bands that I want to see even though Day 3 is definitely weak
(-) Alot of bands all together at once means more conflicts
(-) Halfmoon Bay is cold and shitty imo and a beach is a horrible place for a festival
(-) Coachella copy

Cityscape
(+) Orbital
(+) I think the city setting would be rad (like the old San Diego Street Scene)
(-) Majority of artists I'm not that into
(+) London
(-) Don't like the headliners

My vote: Cityscape

[bballarl]

While Boris is not represented on either, Boris Yeltsin is. Plus that lineup is great, due to Peter Gabriel, and the person who made it is sexy.

[matsuolost]

looks like the first poster only knows bands that play coachella........

[fatbastard]

Tunes.

[PassiveTheory]

What's your scoring system based off of, Tom?

[hawkingvsreeve]

Seriously. It's like last nights episode of the Office.

[menikmati]

daft's presence gets minus points, but not radiohead's?

[TomAz]

What's your scoring system based off of, Tom?

I made it up. more points for the more I want to see a band. No negatives except for the rare penalty for egregious crap. In retrospect I should have given Cityscape bonus points for being in London.

[TomAz]

my system. my rules.

[i_like_cake530]

Seriously. It's like last nights episode of the Office.

hahaha. you gave him 10 points, him a thumbs up, and you gave him a star...

look in the book there should be some sort of point conversion.
