M.I.A. to play Coachella

Mama Maya is going to be playing Coachella, according to Coachella's Twitter. It's going to be M.I.A.'s first performance since giving birth to her first son 'Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman' as reported by Pitchfork and TMZ who found the birth docs.

Pitchfork explains the names -

"Edgar" and "Arular" are Ikyd's grandfathers' names. Yes, that would be Edgar Bronfman Jr., the guy who runs Warner Music Group and father of M.I.A.'s fiance Benjamin Bronfman, and Arular Pragasm, M.I.A.'s father, who is a controversial figure in British and Sri Lankan politics.

Maya had some words on her blog for the media types who were already preempting years of incorrect spelling Bronfman Jr is going to no doubt contend with for years to come:
