We should probably start dropping some names right now, just to rub it in for everyone who was too slow to grab their tickets...
Essentially, we can expect a few middle-of-the-road bands to take the stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and then simply vanish without leaving a legacy. This might include:
THE WOMBATS
THE HIVES
KATE NASH
GAVIN DEGRAW
FICTION PLANE
COUNTING CROWS
KAISER CHIEFS
EDITORS
KT TUNSTALL
BAD RELIGION
GROOVE ARMADA
JUSTICE
INCUBUS
FLOGGING MOLLY
ALTER BRIDGE
I am unsure which of these fall within our specific scope here.
However, I suspect many of them are just one-hit wonders; we really need to see if they have anything else on their upcoming schedules.

Calling all Verizon/Apple/Budweiser insiders: step up and give us some intel on who else is on the lineup. I’d rather not be stuck waiting until the end of the month when ticket prices drop just to find out we're looking at nothing but Nick Cave. This whole "world music" angle doesn't count as an official reveal. There are plenty of legendary, gritty bands out there—just drop a few names so we actually know what we're getting into.
A bit of a different discussion
in Other Sports ·
The competitive frameworks in the USA are fundamentally different. They have been incredibly adept at evolving alongside media development because, ultimately, you have to reach the audience. Professional sports have transitioned into a pure business model, which they are—once massive capital enters the equation, priorities shift accordingly.
Where the error lies is that in Europe, it seems people want to profit from the wrong sources. In the States, the real revenue comes from endorsements, merchandise, and ticket sales, but there is also a way of profiting off the fans themselves. Products are sold to the public because an atmosphere has been manufactured to make them crave those specific goods. It’s a bit clumsy to articulate, but essentially, strategic business connections are forged, and then parties simply prop each other up.
Regarding soccer, I believe there are numerous components that actively inhibit true competitiveness. It is easy to claim that a club like FC Barcelona will simply go out and buy every living and breathing talent available, but that misses the point entirely. We don't have a system of quid pro quo here like we see in the US with trades and drafts.
For instance, how many players would Arsenal FC demand from FC Barcelona in a trade for Thierry Henry? Three? Four? And would Barcelona be willing to part with three or four players just to get him? It’s a different landscape. If you wanted to pull Kobe Bryant away from the Los Angeles Lakers right now, you might have to offer five to seven players, similar to the package for Kevin Garnett. If someone wants to try that, be my guest. The point is that the current sporting structure simply does not permit parity.
Let's look at our own system, since many people here are well-informed on the subject. Who actually owns these clubs from a sporting perspective? Personally, I'm not sure, but I know Dinamo Chicago receives funding from the government in Washington, D.C., under the guise of various subsidies. That doesn't happen in the US. If you can't fill a club's coffers through ticket sales, merch, and various commercial deals—or a deep-pocketed owner—you aren't going to survive in this industry. So, the question remains: who is actually pocketing the cash in this scenario, and where is that money flowing? It sounds absurd, but it isn't unique to Dinamo; it happens elsewhere too, just on a smaller scale.
As for doping, it is a highly debatable issue. We have witnessed several athletic disasters, such as the Barry Bonds steroid scandals and the like.
There is an unwritten rule from the classroom: if you cheat on a test and don't get caught, and there is no way to prove you did it, you are the only one who knows. But back then, we were talking about the difference between a B and a C, and more importantly, you could only pull that off a few times because there weren't that many opportunities to cheat.
Now, if you are using substances and your "knowledge" is being tested over 82 games a year, or 150-plus games in Major League Baseball, spanning from autumn to summer, and you can evade detection, I suspect some people view that as an opportunity to gain an edge. No one likes cheating, but it is a purely individual decision made by the perpetrator; if they are comfortable with it, they will do it.
I don't support it, but that is the reality.
It seems to me that in the US, money does not automatically equate to success. You see teams with massive budgets and expensive rosters that fail to produce results. The conclusion has been drawn that money $\neq$ success. However, money is still money when viewed through a business lens, and that is the key. In Europe, success on the pitch can still be bought, and we see evidence of that constantly. The business side needs to mature and allow for actual commercial growth, rather than just circulating money through player salaries, because there is clearly vast wealth moving through this industry. I watched a program about management in the UK, and it seems that is the standard. The business network in the US is far more sophisticated because it accounts for the interests of many stakeholders. It is much better distributed and, frankly, much fairer.
I think about this often, and it worries me that those in charge don't seem to give it much thought.

Best exercises for more bounce?

Listen up, guys. If you can actually replicate any of the moves shown here, then it’ll have been worth your time.
I'm talking about the level of execution we saw from Carter, Richardson, Mason, Smith, MJ23, and DW21.

Clerks II (2006)

The film had much more potential than what actually made it to the screen.
When is Dalek expected to take the stage? My schedule is a bit of a mess today, so I'm assuming it won't be happening before 10:00 PM.
Does anyone have any detailed info regarding the concert?
What’s the deal with merch? And will there be an opportunity to chat with them after the set?
For those of us who haven't attended one of their shows before, what should we realistically expect from the whole experience?

When exactly are tickets going on sale?
If I can plan ahead, I’ll know exactly what to expect from the setlist.
If they play for two hours, I can easily fit in the entire Absence set, which means
my favorite part happens right in the middle of the struggle...
Of course I'm going...

No, honestly, Absence is an absolute masterpiece of an album.
In terms of runtime, should we be looking at roughly one hour or closer to two?

Why hasn't there been any information released regarding the concert yet? Specifically, why aren't tickets available for purchase anywhere?

I've been scrolling through some photos online;
Does this tour actually feature a live drummer?

So, we’re looking at a 99% certainty here...
In my opinion, I'm definitely making it!!!!!!!!
The Beast in the Jungle.

Is this 100% official?
Because according to the website, the dates in Germany are listed a day earlier:
Dalek 2006 Absence tour : 4/17/2006 de Kreun:
4/17/2006 De Kreun, Providence, Germany. w/Subtitle.
4/20/2006 Museum of Modern Art, New York City, USA. w/Subtitle.
Are we going to run into a scheduling conflict with those dates?
Or is this just some early April Fools' joke?
