In what quite possibly is the best interview from our time at Bonnaroo, John Roderick of The Long Winters and I sat down and talked. It is also one of the longer interviews but it is not without its really funny moments. John and I cover, among other things, Tool, his MSNBC blog, the next Long Winters album, and other various items.

As Bonnaroo was winding down and we had done all of our interviews for the weekend, I headed off to take some more photos, which we shared with you here. Earlier in the weekend I had seen the guys from Sam Champion hanging around after a performance and told them to stop by our area at some point during the weekend.
Well, when the guys stopped by I was gone, and our stuff was mostly packed up, but Bryan J set a few things back up and let the guys from Sam Champion interview themselves, the results are really funny, view it below…….
Another Bonnaroo interview today, this time featuring our friends from The National. Bryan and Scott sat down with me and talked a bit more about Boxer. We invited Matt in a bit later and all chatted about the Bengals, and old WOXY memories…..Enjoy!

Chris and John of the Decemberists sat down with me during Bonnaroo. They played off each other really well and it ended up being a great little chat. We discuss the band’s major label debut, The Crane Wife, as well as some solo projects both of the guys are exploring….

Alot of you know I am a big Wilco fan, so it was obviously a thrill to be able to sit down and chat with guitarist Nels Cline. It happened out of the blue as I saw Nels walking by and recognized him. I ran up to say hello and tell him I was a fan and all that good stuff. I mentioned that we were trying to get Jeff or someone from the band to sit down and talk with us for a minute and he just blurted out, “well, talk to me now.” Of course, I could not resist so we talked for one of our longer interviews (still under 10 min). Check it out below…..

We tried to get Britt Daniel of Spoon to sit down with us during the second day of Bonnaroo 2007 with no success. The band was incredibly busy running around doing other press. However, we were lucky enough to grab Britt and Jim at random on the last day of the festival. It was so spontaneous that we had already taken down our banner and were packing up our area. When I saw the guys and they agreed to sit down, we rushed to get our area back in order and do the interview. Of course, Spoon’s new album, Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is in stores this week, I highly recommend you pick it up.
It worked out great though, and Britt even lets loose a BAM during our talk. Check it out.
The Little Ones joined us for a fun interview on the second day of Bonnaroo. It was the first one in the morning and we had a great time chatting it up with one of our favorite bands. Have a look and listen below.
The Black Angels were another unplanned interview we did backstage at Bonnaroo 2007. I saw them walking around the press area and recognized them and asked if they would chat. It worked out great except for a crew of workers that came along and began to saw through a nearby wooden fence. It was much louder in person than on video luckily, but it is referenced in the interview.
