Apple stage add?

[Eggbird]

I've been thinking for a while now on how Goldenvoice can improve Coachella. Obviously I think they've outdown themselves already with this lineup and I'm a nervous nelly just counting down the time until COACHELLA 2008!!!! (I would capitalize "2008" if only there were a way. Anyhow, I figured with Heinekin already a sponsor, it would make total sense to add someone new that could afford to actually "sponsor" an entire stage. I've got to hand it to Steve Joves and his marketing team...there iphone commercials really hit me where it tickles if you know what I mean. Wouldn't it be incredible to have an entirely new stage and feature all the up and coming bands from there commericals. That girl bad with all the "music is my hot, hot (expletive)", all the dreamy loopy stuff that the bands that sing them could play at sunset. What do you all think?

[Leckie]

if they gave out free apple stuff then i'd be down

Who is Steve Joves??? Is he anything like Steve Jobs???

[mandelbaum]

No room for more stages. No need for more sponsors. That "girl bad" you mention is called CSS and they played last year. You sound like a 15 year old.

The Apple Stage? Are you kidding?

[Boourns]

I would welcome CSS repeating this year. 100 times more deserving than Hot Chip.

[Eggbird]

I think you guys misunderstood.

QF fucking T

this is the worst idea i've ever heard. one of the reasons coachella is so great is that its not a giant corporate sell out with billboards all over. its nice to have 3 days out of the year where you dont have some kind of marketing shoved in your face from every angle.

edit: and yes, i know there is heineken, but thats minimal.

So you want to commercialize coachella to the point where each stage is owned by a corporate sponsor?? and then GV would have to choose bands based on the marketing schemes of musically illiterate board members?? what are you saying? and even if there are good bands on the this one marketing scheme it wouldnt last forever. and I hate that css song not one of their best.

How can you say heineken is minimal? They are probably a multimillion dollars company?????

Dude. Seriously. What he means is that although they are a sponsor, their logo isn't plastered all over the polo grounds.

Just stop posting anymore for your own good.

as mandelbaum already said...minimal meaning the advertising you see for heineken inside of the festival grounds is minimal. and i think everybody would like to keep it that way.

[Psicosis]

They need a Microsoft tent playing this over and over again..

[leo01g]

I think this thread deserves this pic

[woogie846]

I think you're right

A Microsoft tent would be 8 times larger than it needed to be, require you to rebuild it every morning and have several holes in it large enough to pass a smuggled ostrich through.

Egg doesn't know what he's talking about - you have to have a beer sponsor to keep it real, and Heinken sells a lot of beer so excuse me for living. It is to late to add Apple this year (hello? 2009?) but those commercials with Justin Long kill me to death they are so funny. We're not gonna get free iPods so get over it. Justin doesn't need anymore money so if your all committed to it, let's petition GV to get him to do it for free (I'm offering to lead this cause); he is in some good movies right now. Apple has a pretty good image and I think a lot of people want this. I want this.

[menikmati]

No thanks. What a shitty idea.

[Astrid]

what if for like a little gimicky ha ha they also gave away Reaaaal apples for all the granola hippies. and oh my god. genius.

seriously....I hate those fucking commercials......and since that Justin whatever guy has been cast as a smug, uppity little prick "Mac" I never want to see his face again

[menikmati]

macs are too pretentious for me

I dont see a Heineken stage anywhere on the grounds do you? Yeah, they are the beer sponsor, yes you will see some signs and stuff, but thats it. Why do we need an Apple stage? This isnt Lolla or ACL where any major corporation can just ask and they will make a stage for them. Also, for those 2 festivals it keeps prices down cause lord knows how much it would cost if they didnt have so much sponsorship backing. And C3 is the company who handles both of those festivals too, wonder why they need the sponsors so bad.

[humanoid]

is it not enough that good indie bands we used to like have had to whore out there music to corporations to use in in commercials imploring us to mindlessly consume? I get sick every time I hear a song I formerly enjoyed on a commercial.....CSS??? Feist? I have to skip Walken on Sky Blue Sky every time now

now I get ill when I hear Walk on the Wild Side....et tu, Lou Reed?
