actually @fortyfive33 now
if any of you plan on voting and can't get it in before 6, I can extend it an hour ish.

do you guys mind I post the second round tomorrow and not tonight? That was a tough round and I want everyone to have a breather for a night.

sangdeto quality (9.5), realism 9.5 9.5
katyperry/slack (7.8)/ (5.7) 6.75

jaz/fred (8.3)/ (7.6) 7.95
monie/fozie (7.9)/ (6.5) 7.4

rummy/bing (8.1)/ (9.4) 8.75
cdev/viuex (8.9)/ (8.3) 8.6

bulls (8.7)/ (8.6) 8.65
pepe/nathan (8.0)/ (7.1) 7.55

dragon/passionpit (7.8)/ (7.2) 7.5
todd/jortles (8.4) (6.6) 7.5

This one ended up in a tie because of a quality vs realism clash. Since this is still fantasy, I did end up going with quality over realism and chose the fest I'd theoretically go to.

meatball/juggs (7.4)/ (6.0) 6.7
theo/teddy (7.3)/ (6.1) 6.7

This was super close. In the end I went with frazzledrip because head to head there's more things I want to see.

cap'n's (9.2)/ (8.9) 9.05
kanye/truevine (7.0)/ (5.5) 6.25

tranter/jtr (7.6)/ (6.8) 7.2
gocats/danbob (8.5)/ (8.1) 8.3



Damn I knew had one that was practically a tie. I didn't realize till just now when I calculated the points that there was another one. On those 2. The whole time I've been torn on frazzledrip vs the theos. I actually like both more than my points endeds up showing. How did I do my points system? For quality I used this point system
top line 10 pts for acts I like
2-3 lines 5 pts
4-5 lines 3 pts
6-7 lines 2 pts
anything below that 1 pt.

I used those numbers and ranked the lineups. Then assigned a point total that was on the 0-10 scale because that's how we were asked to do it. It was way too much work and it's been a busy week. For realism I decided to start with that previous and subtract from it for anything I didn't think was realistic. If I believed that a band would never play Bonnaroo I took off 5 points. I took off 1 point for each billing order or scheduling that I thought was wrong/weird.

Now, this other tie, I wasn't expecting. What happened here is quality wise jortles/todd ended up way ahead. But on realism dragonpit ended up just as much ahead. I do believe that I would have much better time at jortles/toddfest. I would actually drive to TN and camp out in the heat for that. That's a big deal for me, because we don't do that anymore. We haven't been since 2016. So there's enough there for me to want to do that and another key here, convince my wife to do it. We're talking realism right? That's all real as reasoning gets.

If anyone else wants more of a breakdown on their matchups, let me know and I'll do it. I only commented on the ones that were really close.

DragonPit
Thursday: don't know much...would definitely hit up LN Wand, though I don't think they belong on Thursday
Friday: Lucy Dacus--> Violent Femmes or Tim Heidecker--> Low-->Metronomy--> Spiritualized--> Ri--> Megan Thee Stallion--> Charli XCX
Saturday: Lady Lamb, Kevin Morby, Caroline Polachek--> Toro y Moi or Clams Casino-->ELO--> Kim Gordon--> MCR I guess??--> Soulwax--> Floating Points
Sunday: Helado Negro--> Andy Shauf--> Whitney or maybe Jimmy Eat World if wanting some nostalgia--> Fleet Foxes--> Jorja Smith if I made it there instead of leaving early

Quality: 7. Spiritualized to Rihanna to Megan to Charli is a weird but GREAT run (weird mostly just due to that big turn from Spiritualized to Ri/Megan). I'd only be pumped about one of the three HLers, but there's a solid amount that I like in the undercard
Realism: 6. It doesn't really feel like Roo, though there's enough smatterings of things that do, that I am giving it 6 (originally was thinking 5 or 5.5 but things like Friday and Saturday daytime do fit the bill quite well.
Overall avg: 6.5

ToddJortles 
Thursday: ?--> Liturgy--> 070 Shake--> JPEG
Friday: Pussy Riot--> First Aid Kit--> Laura Marling--> Mitski--> The Zombies--> American Football--> Eh, Quinn maybe?--> Dolly--> ?--> System of a Down but prob not the whole thing--> Above and Beyond bc why not
Saturday: cupcakKe--> Marian Hill--> Hinds I suppose--> Brandi Carlile--> Weyes Blood--> Robert Plant--> Joanna--> Frank--> Aphex--> The Avalanches
Sunday: not sure for first few shows... Jenny Hval--> Spoon--> Modest Mouse or Holy Ghost!--> Dave Chappelle--> Neil Young

Quality: 7.25. I mean that goddamn Saturday run of Brandi --> Weyes --> Plant--> Joanna--> Frank--> Aphex--> The Avalanches... I would kill to see a run like that at Roo. Do I find it plausible? No, it definitely deducts realism points, but wow is it good. Friday has a good amount to like but pales in comparison to Saturday, quite drastically. Sunday is quite light for my tastes.
Realism: 5.5. The things I like best (like that Saturday run) are the things that make it least feasible as a Roo 2021 lineup. Yeah there's stuff in there that fits Roo, but as a cohesive piece, it is off the mark IMO. 
Overall avg: 6.375

ALERT: I AM CHANGING MY VOTE TO DRAGONPIT AFTER THIS FULL ANALYSIS. (I knew this one was close for me, as there's lots I like on both but also some glaring issues with both...but I'm giving it to DragonPit by a hair).

Can we extend? Our matchup is too close. Ideally would like to include every participant in the vote.

not unless someone says they’re going to vote soon

Alright I think votings closed

F

team jesus out first round is insane
