***The Official 2012 Lineup Pool***

[heart cooks brain]

They've broken up. They've reunited.

is it someone that's re-uniting for the first time @ coachella, or do bands like pulp count?

[Miroir Noir]

I vote that you should get one single bonus point if the reunion act you pick is doing Coachella for the first announced gig. Pulp, Mangum, etc. should count as reunions otherwise.

[captncrzy]

is it someone that's re-uniting for the first time @ coachella, or do bands like pulp count?

Let's say this: reunited in the last 12 months.

[PlayaDelWes]

Let's say this: 12 months from what? Lineup annoucement? Weekend 1? 2? Due date for pool submissions?

Just pick a date. Reunited after 1/1/11 or 6/30/11 or something like that.

[heart cooks brain]

it should probably be since Coache11a ended.

DAMN YOU PEOPLE STOP MAKING MORE WORK FOR ME

I like the HCB idea. Anyone that's played a reunion show since 04.18.2011. Trying to not exclude bands like Pulp who announced they were reuniting but didn't play any shows for several months.


Of course, it's also considered a reunion if there's no announcement and there's just a surprise on the poster. Been known to happen.

[TommyboyUNM]

I think it should only be considered a reunion if the act's first show is at Coachella. Otherwise, where is the skill (or luck) in predicting it? It's just a prediction of an act that happened to get back together in the last year. That's a pretty arbitrary way to get a bonus point.

But this isn't my pool, so it doesn't matter.

[captncrzy]

Yeah, but there's no way to predict that. Say the reunion is announced on the poster, and then they do a bunch of shows in London or some shit prior to the festival.

lol, remember when I told you that a certain band wouldn't count as a reunion?

[Neighborhood Creep]

Reunion in last 6 months = 1 point
Reunion at Coachella = 2 points

?

[TommyboyUNM]

Yeah, but there's no way to predict that. Say the reunion is announced on the poster, and then they do a bunch of shows in London or some shit prior to the festival.

Ok then, how about if they haven't played a show prior to being announced on the lineup?

I guess what I'm trying to say is Pulp, or any act in Pulp's position, is not a reunion act.

this was my thought for any band in this situation.

[paulb]

What if your reunion act is the headliner? Do you get 2 points for being a headliner and 1 point for being the reunion?

[santasutt]

How about a bonus point or two for naming the band who gets invited back for 2nd consecutive year?

[sacleonard]

I like this idea. Maybe add this to next year's pool, since we seem locked for the 2012 contest.

[captncrzy]

Yeah according to that article, the reunion act will not be a festival focus, so I doubt they are a headlining act. Just do your best. When the lineup comes out, I'm sure we will all be able to tell who the reunion act is.

[captncrzy]

Ok, I sort of disagree that Pulp isn't a reunion. They don't seem to have ever announced their breakup, but they took a nine year hiatus, and announced their reunion. Jarvis even called it a reunion. Thoughts?

[Boourns]

reunion.

[TickleMeElmo]

Pulp is definitely a reunion but not by these contest rules.

[captncrzy]

I can't figure out how to write the rule so it makes sense. It's like trying to define porn.

[captncrzy]

Reunion: An instance of two or more people coming together again after a period of separation.

It's just too convoluted to come up with rules around it. Like I say, I think we'll all know who the "reunion" act that Paul was talking about is when we see the poster. I'll give all "reunion" submissions a fair shake.

[captncrzy]

How about a bonus point or two for naming the band who gets invited back for 2nd consecutive year?

This is a good idea for next year.

Pulp was a reunion when it reunited for shows in 2011. By Coachella 2012, it's just a band that's playing Coachella.

[captncrzy]

True, but they haven't played on this side of the pond.

[Boourns]

A reunion tour that spills into a second year is still a reunion tour, and they still haven't played here since 1998.

[captncrzy]

Let's just say this. If there is a question as to whether or not a band qualifies as a reunion, email me and I'll confer with my advisors.

[captncrzy]

Also, wtf is up with you peeps? I can't believe I only have seven submissions.

[concertgoer]

I will be submitting my list this week or the next at the latest

[suprefan]

What is this lunacy?

Seems like something superfan would promote.

My name is suprefan, and I endorse this message.

Also, wtf is up with you peeps? I can't believe I only have seven submissions.

When I barely saw this today I can only think so fast.

Finally posting on the board for the soul purpose of winning this bitch! Can't wait to get some even more cooler stuff or whatever it is we're competing over.
