Coachella 2008 set times announced

The set times for the magical, mystical festival known as Coachella have just been announced. Reminiscent of Lollapalooza 2006, which featured My Morning Jacket paired against Iron & Wine and The New Pornographers overlapping both Broken Social Scene and the Violent Femmes, Coachella-ers will have to contend with scheduling dilemmas out the wazoo. Aesop Rock and Santogold, Cut Copy and Jens Lekman, the list goes on and on. And that's just Friday.

Saturday will require black market cloning of people who really can't live with out seeing Prince, Calvin Harris, Akron/Family and Portishead (which should include pretty much everyone in the known universe). Meanwhile, Sunday will no longer be known as the Day of Rest, since it will require Olympic-level sprinting to see Simian Mobile Disco, Murs and Roger Waters all at once.

Take some time to peruse out the entire schedule here, but be warned. You will laugh and cry. You'll also likely get confused when you see the name "Sean Penn" listed twice on the Sunday schedule. For guesses on what he'll be up to, look no further than the Coachella message board, and read up on speculations that range from a possible tribute to Chris from Into the Wild to the hopeful (and likely false) rumor that Penn is holding his spot open for surprise guest Eddie Vedder.
