So you might already know that SPIN wanted to do an article on Zoe, and when they did, they sent a super nice woman named Kate Sullivan to do the writing part. As it turns out Kate has a show exec-produced by Garrison Keillor syndicated by American Public Media called “Pop Vultures”. She asked Zoe and me to come by and talk about music for a while, and we did (even though I’m very bad at returning emails in a timely manner — sorry Kate!). You can hear a few lines from us by tuning into Pop Vultures on your local station, or by going to prx.org, registering, searching for “Pop Vultures”, and listening to either the “Usher and Breakup Songs” show or the “Kanye West” show.

Yesterday I got an email from Mark Driver who said he just happened to hear the broadcast while cleaning his apartment (hard to imagine what apartment-cleaning might consist of for Mark but we’ll just use our imaginations there) in Seattle yesterday and it freaked him out:

i was cleaning out the apartment today and listening to NPR, and i was like “yeah, Spirit is a great record, Ian made me buy it…i sorta feel like listening to it now…HOLY SHIT, THAT’S IAN! IAN IS TALKING TO ME ON MY RADIO!” hilarious. you actually sounded like you knew what you were talking about.

Well, y’all can be the judge of that.
