Coachella Schedule Released!! - Sean Penn?
"Coachella schedule includes Sean Penn" - Wtf?
The westward bound Merry Swankster brain trust is currently analyzing the festival schedule so graciously released by the Palm Springs Desert Sun.
So far we're confused on what exactly Sean Penn will be doing with his two (!!) alloted time slots on Sunday, pissed about the Raconteurs/Santogold and Kraftwerk/Animal Collective/M.I.A. conflicts on Friday and Saturday, respectively. On the other hand we're stoked about our personalized raunchy headliners on Friday night. Starting with the reliably up for it Spank Rock in the Gobi tent immediately followed by the Black Lips dirtying things up next door in the Mohave tent. All the while ignoring Jack Johnson's mellowness on the main stage. "Shake It 'Til My Dick Turns Racist" vs "Bubble Toes"? C'mon now!
Spank Rock - "Shake It 'Til My Dick Turns Racist" - Live @ North Six, Brooklyn
Jack Johnson - "Bubble Toes" - Live @ Greek, (SF or LA)
UPDATE 5:36PM ET:
Rumors are floating that Sean Penn is actually code for Eddie Vedder or maybe even Pearl Jam. I guess we'll know soon enough for sure, but my money is against a full band Pearl Jam show considering the time slots are so short. The second Sean Penn scheduling block precedes My Morning Jacket's set and MMJ has performed live with Eddie Vedder in the past. Hmmm. The plot thickens? Or is there even a plot?

I'm sure Sean Penn will be doing some political shit talking. And I'm sure I'll be watching someone else play music at this music festival while he does it.

Maybe he'll get on stage and sob, powerfully and angrily, for several hours, and thus be awarded the highest honor awarded for celebrity cameos to large music festivals. I believe its known in the industry as "the Nigel" for reasons no one can remember...
