Keith Hudson's a dub producer A Hoy Hoy.

Here's my first go. Considering swapping out Little Boots in favour of Bat For Lashes but currently she's my most popular artist, even if she is on the third stage...

apart from that, I wasn't going for popular at all. Just want a festival that *I* would want to go to.
― Persian Pickle (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh, sod it. I think I'd rather have Electrik Red than Little Boots. Switching them out.
― Persian Pickle (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Man these festivals look awesome. Masonic Boom has even kindly put on Goldfrapp early evening so I can go and get dinner without missing anything. (arf)

(ps that was not a dig as I liked the rest of your lineup and a spare half-hour to get fed is a vital part of any festival lineup IMO)

here's my rockin festival as a pic:

I tried to stick to presently active bands, just as a personal ground rule.

well it finally encouraged me to try the last stereolab album so

Sod that, I've got dead people and, like, bands that haven't spoken to each other in decades on my list.

That Air pic is great!

yeah I will probably do that next when I try to WIN this thing---though Miranda Lambert has only 28 buzz points so I think winning is going to involve some serious compromises in taste (e.g. Muse here we come)

It's alright, I'd go.

hmmm, never thought our winning festival would have rapeman in the lineup.

I'm gonna take all the money I saved in not hiring "big" acts and have really amazing stages and chill out zones. And hire the most amazing venue (like a country mansion somewhere) so no one has to sleep in a tent outside anywhere. (Unless they really want to. I might set up a colourspace art thing type tent dorm with ambient drones playing in the corners to lull everyone to sleep)
― Persian Pickle (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Can I change the festival name later? Thinking of a name is way harder than thinking of 15 bands.

nope you cant

i just re-subcribed - £36 for 12 months...its totally worth it to be able to see who visited your profile recently. hmm, probably should use their radio again.

Obviously everyone in my line up would be of the age that they were when my chosen artist photos were taken. In several cases actually resurrected
― Tannenbaum Schmidt, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 17:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I just made a festival and joined the league! I went with acts I've been listening to most the last 3 months or so, pretty mainstream stuff. Some of the people on the lower part of the bill should probably be headlining, but I have no problems with my headliners as is.

Brontosaur is going to win this between Taylor and The Killers.

I've still got over 600K to spend. Swapped out Billy Bragg for Studio and dropped Kirsty for L&PT. Originally I had hoped for Johnny Marr to join Kirsty on stage and then for Kirsty to do some backing vocals for the Smiths, but Moz had to be a prick and insult Kirsty backstage. Typical.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 18:35 (fourteen years ago) link
x-post
Ha! I actually felt kinda bad about the Killers! But they are my #15 most listened to artist of the last 6 months. Day & Age sounds pretty great a year later. And if Taylor Swift isn't a prototypical ILX pop-favorite then I don't know who is.
Of my top 15 artists from the last 6 months, i only left off Rainer Maria and Elvis Presley. Broken up and dead! I replaced them with Animal Collective and Madonna, which... I guess the Madonna inclusion is a little much. But I just bought Ray of Light last night, its fresh on my mind!

btw, Keith Hudson is so much more than just 'dub producer'. Ian Curtis was a fan of his work so having Hudson on just before Joy Division makes sense. King Tubby and Martin Hannett get to work the controls all day long.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 21:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I was just teasing brontosaur, its not like you were obviously padding your festival. I still need to put mine together, but there's a chance The Killers might end up on mine too. Funnily enough, I was just giving Day & Age a spin yesterday and it was sounding better than I expected it too.

That's what I did and it seemed to do the trick.

I'm @ work so can't really do this right now but, being a hermit, this game reminds me of how there's very few bands/musicians I'd go out of my way to actually go see live.

btw is it a 1 day fest with 15 acts? or 3 days with 5 acts each day noted by different colour?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link
like look at this guys, it actually looks as if it's colour coded.http://i33.tinypic.com/2nsb807.jpg
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i suppose it could be 3 stages
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Curtis' is colour coded too it seemshttp://i36.tinypic.com/8yx120.jpg
damn, im gonna have to redo mine with proper colours now if its by days. Argh.

has there ever been one?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:33 (fourteen years ago) link
i think for her last album, she took the kate bush route and eschewed live performances, apart from at her bday party when, i believe, she demanded an impromptu performance but fell over and threw up before she reached the stage <3

lol
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 23:36 (fourteen years ago) link
colour coded by days (left to right) with some line up changes (ditched klf, sun ra and moroder for britney, kate and pete & c.l.)
the britney love is right

wont it be 5 acts per day if its 3 days? You've just made me go and start to colour code mine you. Damn you!

oh i see what youve done. That looks great!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 12 November 2009 00:00 (fourteen years ago) link
mine had 5 different colours...
― a hoy hoy, Thursday, 12 November 2009 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I guess you could have 5 acts per day, making three of each colour from the bottom row. But I like the 2 stages I got going on for day 2.
