MelodyTrip.com Podcast 12 On Glastonbury and Bonnaroo Is Online Now

Check out podcast 12 right now on MelodyTrip.com. I give out some Glastonbury history, talk about Bonnaroo, and play podsafe music from Ingrid Michaelson. I forgot to say this in the podcast, but you can buy her stuff right now on iTunes. There are other festivals besides Glastonbury and Bonnaroo to talk about, but the podcast this week centers around those two because they are the biggest in the world.

North by Northeast (NXNE) and Chicago Blues Festival

Okay music festival fans. Yes, YOU with your dirty hippie feet! My feet are dirty too, OK?

Got a good podcast for you this week. The usual news and banter is there of course, but this week I banter with my Canadian cohort from Suite101's Indie page, Danny Brown, who attended NXNE last weekend in Toronto. An indie fest with 450 bands to take in? Yes, Danny survived and is kind enough to give me the scoop not only on NXNE but on the burgeoning music scene about to explode in Canada. You may just hear about your next favorite band.

I also talk with our correspondent, Leah Mueller, an astrologer & tarot card reader in addition to being a blues FREAK. So I get the scoop from her on Chicago Blues Fest from last weekend as well. That's right -- MelodyTrip covers all of North America's music festivals. We cover stuff on other continents too, just so you know. I just connect the dots for the podcast.

This weekend -- BONNAROO in Manchester, TN!

So if you want to hear about BONNAROO, listen next week.

For now, here's this week

Did I Ever Post the Link To Last Week's Podcast?

I don't think I did. I got really sick with allergies and a fever...which is pretty much the plague, I think.

Anyway, here's MelodyTrip.com's TENTH podcast. The music is from Machete Avenue.

Today I listened to an old podcast of Podcast 411 with someone talking about Odeo.com. I will have to check it out. So far the spirituality page is interesting me.

MelodyTrip Podcast #9 About Live Earth

If you haven't heard of Live Earth yet, you will. Or you're just living under a rock and need to come out! For this week's MelodyTrip.com podcast, I interviewed Yusuf Robb, global spokersperson for Live Earth. I also play a good song from bluesman Eric Lindell. Matt Casey, our bossman at MelodyTrip, has had the good fortune of seeing Lindell play live at Bayou Rendezvous at the Howlin' Wolf at Jazz Fest. He says Lindell drew a great crowd when he played -- at 3:00 a.m. no less.
