Beck gave Saturdays Coachella show a bit of a surprise when he and JMJ popped onstage at the Mojava Tent for some impromptu jamming, here's JMJ:

"Yeah, we played a few songs. Z-trip did his DJ set, and at the end, he spun "Where It's At", and stopped it after a minute. Then he said, "let's just bring Beck out". Then he rocked some beats while Beck rapped and I played the bassline. It was funny. Then, we played a couple of acoustic songs, "Pay No Mind", "Lonesome Whistle" and "Asshole", then out. It was a fun little interlude. Thankfully the beat-crazy DJ culture didn't throw rocks and bottles at us and we were able to mellow it for a minute. Bjork's set was cool, Queens of the Stoneage were amazing, Vines were good. A nice day out there. Great weather too. See U, JMJ "
