I'm honored to have been named Vulture Whale's Whale Rider of the Month. I've known the guys in the band since the days of the Kraken, and I highly recommend all their music.
The band will be playing in Birmingham this Friday, December 4, at the Nick (though it'll probably be well into December 5 before they actually take the stage). They're also booked for a December 26 show at the Bottletree.
In the meantime, download (for free) the band's rocking new EP, Bamboo You.
Birmingham, Vulture Whale, Whale Rider of the Month, music in events Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 09:38AM Oprah.com is running an excerpt of The Perfect Fruit. I also did a Q&A with them, but I don't see it on the site. Let me know if you come across it.

I was on the front end of a flu-ish type thing, so the conversation's a little blurry now. But I've been a fan of "Good Food" for a long time, so it was a real pleasure to be on with Evan. And the whole show—tacos, the cuisine of Bhutan, James McWilliams on local food—is worth a listen.

Cowen, a professor of economics at George Mason University and author most recently of Create Your Own Economy, writes often about the effects of technology and globalization on the arts, food and culture. For a good Cowen cross-section, read his thoughtful critique of Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma, watch his talk at Google on the difference between grants and prizes, and listen to his On the Media appearance to discuss Radiohead's release of In Rainbows.
