22 votes so far from 22 people who have never seen a MMJ live Roo set.
I can’t say I’ve seen MMJ at Bonnaroo but I did once see Nicolas Jaar solo during the Sirens tour and there was a guy behind me who loudly said “These time signatures are fuuuuuuucked” during a song that was very clearly in 4/4.
I've seen MMJ five times. They were great. I'm voting Jaar out because he is not nearly as reverently nor frequently spoken of here as a lot of acts that are long gone.

This is exactly the kind of experience one should expect at a show with an artist like Jaar.

i missed voting in the past few rounds but i'm voting jaar this round too. there was a period around when Darkside played bonnaroo that everyone was losing their minds over Jaar but it's definitely cooled down.
then i'm thinking king gizz > tame > mmj. i know we hype king gizz but they are a pretty remarkable band. unique sound, tremendous amount of material, and great live.
while tame is overhyped by a significant portion of inforoo, there is also a lot of pushback against that hype. and tame is really popular outside of inforoo, people love it. to me tame is not particularly exciting, but i like them and see the appeal. he's a decent songwriter that occasionally "goes for it" and the sound has a strong aesthetic, maybe not a super unique aesthetic in the overall history of music, but something parker has tapped into and made his own.
MMJ is the classic overhyped inforoo band, they gotta be #1. having said that they have written some really really great songs and apparently still crush live.

so i'm not an expert in time signatures, but apparently you can make an argument that Nine Inch Nail's "March of the Pigs" is in 29/8 because it's a repeating pattern of 7/8 7/8 7/8 8/8.
genesis's "turn it on again" starts in 4/4 and 5/4, changing to alternating between 6/4 and 7/4, which leads to people saying it's the biggest hit song to be in 13/4.

now do Hey Ya
mostly 4/4 but every fourth measure skips two beats for a 2/4. so 14/4? really just proof that andre's flow is awesome.
