	Bonnaroo Interview Schedule
	Posted: 06/04/07 10:49 am

	Click here to stream/download the newly released "Pre-Bonnaroo" podcast, hosted by Moe Train and King B! I've got some amazing news on our interview situation!! We have been sending e-mails out to many of the managers who represent the Bonnaroo musicians in an attempt to procure interviews with their artists for Moe Train's Tracks Podcast. I'll tell ya what… There have been more "YES" responses than "no's," that's for sure. Fortunately, the head of Bonnaroo PR has supplied me with an e-mail contact list, so contacting the managers has been VERY easy. If there's one thing that I can say about this experience, it's that I've been treated VERY well, which is certainly appreciated. So far, our AMAZING interview schedule will be including: Confirmed ZIGGY MARLEY (MY DREAM INTERVIEW - Sat June 16) BOB WEIR (Of The Grateful Dead and Ratdog Fame - Sat June 16) GIRL TALK (Badass DJ from Pittsburgh, PA) DUBCONSCIOUS NEIL FALLON (Lead Vocals/Guitar from Clutch) LILY ALLEN (UK based ska/reggae artist… with the #1 hit, "Smile") El-P AESOP ROCK (The top hip-hop artists from the DefinitiveJux label) "POSSIBLES" DJ Sasha John Digweed The Hold Steady The National Rodrigo y Gabriela Lewis Black The Flaming Lips Dave Attell Flight of the Conchords Amazing lineup, isn't it?!? Yeah, we're thrilled beyond words to be bringing such a lineup of artists to the podcast. Ziggy Marley has been one of my favorite musicians for as long as I can remember (of course his father… Mr. Robert Nesta Marley as well). Having the opportunity to sit down with him and discuss music will certainly prove to be THE DREAM INTERVIEW! Reggae's in my blood, and the Marley's are synonymous with Reggae… As the Rastas say, I feel "blessed." If there's one thing that I can pass on to you guys, I'd like it to be this: You've got to take chances to go after your goals. Even if the odds may be stacked against you… You'll never know unless you try. Sometimes, opportunity may fall right in your lap, but those are few and far between. Go after your goals, and NEVER be afraid to ask someone for "something." What's the worst thing that they could say? "No." If they say no, you just find another way to accomplish that goal. This whole experience has been a very eye opening experience for me, and I can't wait to share it with everyone. SEE YOU IN BONNAROO IN A WEEK AND A HALF!!!! One Love. Moe

	Bonnaroo Update #1

	Moe Train's Tracks Pre-Bonnaroo Podcast (Click on the top "Bonnaroo Podcast" on the list to listen... You can also find it on iTunes and other podcast directories) After a bit of a hiatus, Moe Train's Tracks is back and better than ever... with OFFICIAL PRESS COVERAGE OF THE BONNAROO MUSIC AND ARTS FESTIVAL!!!! That's right, Moe Train's Tracks will be headed down to Manchester, Tennessee on June 14-17 to officially cover the festival. (CHECK OUT THEMOETRAIN.COM FOR MORE DETAILS) Exclusive interviews have already been scheduled with Ziggy Marley (my dream interview), Girl Talk, Neil Fallon of Clutch, Dubconscious, El-P, Aesop Rock, The National, and a few other artists that are still being finalized! Needless to say, this is a HUGE OPPORTUNITY for the Moe Train's Tracks Podcast, and it's going to be an amazing time! During the Bonnaroo Podcasts, Moe will have his Team Excelsior partner aka King B aka Brian Kraycla in the studio. They both will be taking the ten hour trek from Philadelphia to cover the four days of musical mayhem, so it is only right that they both take the mic for a few episodes of the "Tracks." We'll be interviewing the musicians AS WELL AS THE BONNAROONIANS aka "festival-goers." If you see us around, definitely come up and say hi, and do an interview! We'll have plenty of business cards on us, so you'll know where to hear your interview, see your pictures, and read about all the crazy things that went on during the four days of Roo! If you have any questions of any of the Bonnaroo musicians, feel free to drop me an e-mail at Moe@TheMoeTrain.com. I hope everyone enjoys the newly revamped Moe Train's Tracks, and hope to see you at Bonnaroo! If you haven't gotten tickets yet, get them soon, because they'll be selling out in the next week or two! SEE YOU AT BONNNNAAAAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

	Bonnaroo Coverage!
	Posted: 06/04/07 10:47 am

	I am beyond excited. First of all, it was amazing to be granted a press pass for Bonnaroo. Shortly after, I interviewed Ben Harper, Colin Meloy (The Decemberists), and Paul Meany (Mute Math) at an official Bonnaroo press conference. Now, I may be writing for PhillyStyleMag.com and DCStyleMag.com.. However, I just got the best news... I've been e-mailing a few artists' press managers to try to get exclusive interviews while at Bonnaroo. I've e-mailed Ziggy Marley, The Roots, Lily Allen, Wolfmother, Tom Morello so far... Well, tonight I had a VERY pleasant surprise in my e-mailbox when I came home from work. A rep from TuffGong got back to me very fast, and said that she had spoken to Ziggy tonight and he agreed to do an interview with me! I'm just blown away. Things keep getting better and better. Ziggy and his family have been the biggest musical inspirations for me for as long as I can remember. I'm beside myself. Details will be ironed out as June 14th gets closer... SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE ON THE FENCE ABOUT COMING TO BONNAROO WITH ME... TIME TO SADDLE UP, BECAUSE IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELL OF A TRIP! Also, I'll be producing my pre-BRoo podcast very soon. Look for more details on www.TheMoeTrain.com! If you read this and are going to Bonnaroo... Drop me a line so we can meet up! ONE LOVE. Moe
