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
