Aimee Mann Interview - Bonnaroo 2008 from E.J. Friedman on Vimeo.
Some things happened over the summer. Some things I did at Bonnaroo for another publication have gone unused and, honestly, I don't know or care why. After all, Bonnaroo happens in June and this is almost October. In this high-speed webmatic world of ours, some of that content is starting to collect cobswebs; however, I'm going to try and put as much of it up as I can & if anyone has a complaint, they can find me. I'm still here. I value my work ...
So listen, Ye. First off, I would bet you don't read blogs and, most likely, you don't read mine. That's okay with me. I am just another fucking fan out there who lost his cool after being up all night. I was tired and cranky last week. I want to apologize for being a dick.

Aimee Mann's new album is being hailed by some as "a masterpiece" and I'm hard-pressed to disagree. Have you ever wanted a chance to sing with someone as awesome as Aimee Mann on stage?

In answer to the questions posed by three of our readers, I'll attempt to make an answer by sort-of not answering directly. "We're working on it", is the most honest answer to the question at hand. We have been working with the wonderful people at Idolator ...
While combing through archives of last year, I came across a minor treasure trove of short interviews I did with various concert goers at Bonnaroo 2007. I can't remember these guys' names (they say them in the interview), but I sure hope they'll reconsider and actually come back to Bonnaroo 2008 next week. Maybe this year, they should consider sticking with beer, nahh mean?
