I'm happy to do clashfinders for anyone that wants one as well. Now that my lineup is done I find myself with a lot of free computer time.
I’m too lazy to do one, so I feel funny asking anyone to do one for me, but if you want to fill some of that time doing mine, I surely wouldn’t be mad about it.

Cool. PM me your full lineup when you get a chance.

The Icarus Line were the primary band on the Buddyhead record label. Better known for their irreverent LA scene blog, where they would rate albums using a system of how happy the album made Axl Rose, Buddyhead was an important part of my movement away from shitty nu-metal and towards stuff like the Stooges and Slayer. Their ethos was that the greatest albums of all-time were Funhouse and Reign in Blood. Can't disagree there.
Anyway, Icarus Line were a psychedelic punk band, which I feel like is the primary vibe I wanted to create after starting with bands like the Stones, the Stooges, eventually MC5, even broader stuff like James Brown (whom MC5 would cover), AnCo, the Rapture, and so on. Just one big funky, freaky mess. Their guitarist, Aaron North, was in Nine Inch Nails for a period, around the release of With Teeth. They also opened for A Perfect Circle at my first rock show. The crowd threw shit at them. Aaron spit on them and called them rednecks. They were not built to last. There's actually a documentary about them that came out recently, called The Icarus Line Must Die. I haven't seen it yet, but here's the trailer:
Y'all probably know who Maria Bamford is. She's one of the funniest people alive. She seems genuinely out-of-her-mind. It's great.
La Roux were a band that flamed out a bit too quickly. I never really thought before about how similar some of their stuff sounded like the Knife. I mean, this could easily be a Knife song:
So yeah, they're there to support the Knife a little bit on the lineup.
The Fall of Troy are a techy post-hardcore band. I saw them back in 2006 at a rock club, where I was standing way too close to the side of the stage, and the guitarist was thrashing around so much he almost broke my nose with the head of his guitar. Portugal. the Man opened.

Body Count was/is, of course, Ice T's rock band, most famous for the above song, the controversial Cop Killer. I believe they are the only act from the first Lollapalooza who were not drafted. That didn't seem right.
Marianne Faithfull was one of the key female imports of the British Invasion. She'll fit in nicely with the Rolling Stones.
Faithless are sort of a unique act. They're hip-hop but they're clubby. They sorta get labeled trip-hop, but I don't think they're very similar to what most people consider trip-hop, such as Massive Attack or Portishead. They're more upbeat in their music. Their lyrical content isn't too far off, though.
If you went to Bonnaroo 2016, you already know who Donna Jean Godchaux is. She's probably the female vocalist most closely associated with the Grateful Dead, and she performed at that festival with Dead and Company. Some refer to it as Donnaroo. I'm planning on giving her her own set and billing here.
Black Dice are a noise outfit on DFA Records. I don't really have a good guage of their popularity. I used to play them a lot as a college radio DJ.
La Roux has always kind of reminded me of Robyn. Maybe it's just Bulletproof, though...
Yeah. I thought about making that comparison, but I wasn't sure if I just felt that way because the two look pretty similar. But yeah! I have Robyn, too. So that's cool.

this isn't a passive-aggressive swipe at tЯist♡n's Hecker/OPN pick, because I legit understand his justification (a collaboration between two artists playing unique music), but Eric Prdyz and deadmau5 is just a b2b set.
Doesn't matter at this point since we've all done our picks, but for future drafts I think a b2b set should be treated like a superjam, meaning you need to already have those artists in your lineup to make a set out of them.
Pablo may have drafted the all-loving Jesus, but I was willing to take all the people that Inforoo look down upon, like Billy Joel, Mumford, DMB, Justin Bieber, and Tranter. But they are welcome at Oovalon, because Oovalon is a place of love.
I’m reporting you to the principal for cyber-bullying!

If they're not performing together then they shouldn't be considered an act for the purposes of the draft. It's like the couple of picks that were people drafting festivals.

Now that you bring that up, I've thought about picking some DJs who did b2bs more than once but I let go of that because I thought it wouldn't be really fair and it would probably cause some unnecessary stir. But there are tons of DJs who did a b2b more than twice with each other. I remember Armin Van Buuren and Hardwell doing a b2b a few years ago at Tomorrowland.. Like, is that considered an act?

I've taken them in a previous draft and they've performed that way multiple times. I think it's fine.

I purposely stayed away from b2b sets as well and Hecker/OPN isn't a b2b, I think that's what you're saying though.
