Coachella: The Jesus And Mary Chain & Scarlett Johansson

After a false alarm, the most absurd rumor of Coachella week came to fruition last night when, toward the end of an ecstatic set, ScarJo joined the Reid brothers on stage for "Just Like Honey." Sadly, camera issues plagued the first half of our day at Coachella (hence the dearth of posts, but all fixed now!), so we'll have to rely on Wire for photo-documentation.

Scarlett came out without a word, and left with Jim Reid's asking the crowd, "Wasn't that nice?" And honestly, it was; after a full set of classics and a newbie, The J&MC ended their set with "Reverence" and left the desert-set crowd reeling. (To answer: Yes, ScarJo can sing.)

JAMC were AWESOME ! It took me 5 hrs to get to Coachella from LA - rush hr traffic but catching JAMC - one of my favorite bands from high school - I still remember buying their "Honey's Dead" album - definitely made it up. Reverence was a perfect ending to their set. felt like a kid again singing "I wanna die like jfk...."

THE JAMC WERE GREAT... BUT BRINGING AN ACTOR ON STAGE WAS RETARDED. WHO CARES IF SHE CAN SING. SHE ACTS.

She was in a Dylan video, a JT video, has now sung onstage with JAMC and is going to release an album of Tom Waits songs.

Anyone else think she is trying just a litle too hard to be hip?

It's like reading a bathroom stall in this thread.

Plenty of actors are musicians and vice versa, we just don't have very many musicals anymore, so they find other outlets. Good times.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...
