Not Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements: Starboard Vineyard Tours!
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">No appendix today, but we have something else for you. We’ve started a new podcast, called Starboard Vineyard Tours! It's the same two overthinking goofballs talking about literature, but this time we'll be reading academic works of science fiction studies, which is a field with a lot of depth and some surprising relevance to Moby Dick. Our first episode, on Samuel R. Delany's essay "About 5,750 Words", is <a href="https://www.abnormalmapping.com/starboard">up now</a>. We hope you give the show a try!</p>

Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements Appendix 8: Whalecore
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This time around, we delve into one of the least rigorously defined musical genres, whalecore. From the classic of the genre, Mastodon’s Leviathan, to a period-accurate sea shanty collection, your hosts Mark and Ben discuss a wide variety of Moby Dick inspired, nautical, or simply whale-flavored music. In all, we talk about: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kp0LxKTZhk">Leviathan</a> (Mastodon), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYh25wOlmj0">The Call of the Wretched Sea</a> (AHAB), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDAlyMmyO3w">Of Sailors and Whales</a> (W. Francis McBeth), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFwGD61Z_ZQ">Whaling and Sailing Songs From the Days of Moby Dick</a> (Paul Clayton), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp_2y1DDIpc">Concertato “Moby Dick”</a> (Peter Mennin), and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hecyXsNpa9k">Moby Dick</a> (Bernard Herrmann). There’s a lot of whale music out there.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We don't have another Appendix lined up right now, but that doesn't mean you won't hear from us. Stay tuned!</p>
