On Destroyer

First, thanks to PC and JT for letting me play.

Today, Merge posted the new Destroyer LP--Destroyer's Rubies--for streaming. I am only halfway through the first song--9+ minutes--but it is pretty great already. But I am a Destroyer geek, so don't take my word for it.

Merge also has a Destroyer e-card you can send to your honey for Valentine's Day. (via Word Nerdy)

Speaking of Destroyer Geeks--there is now a Destroyer Wiki set up for the annotation of Dan Bejar's lyics. It is still in its infancy, but I think this will be a really cool resource--at least for those of us that obsess about this sort of stuff.

I've tried a few times to speak eloquently about what I think is great and important about Destroyer, and failed, so just listen to the record and see for yourself--and go see them on March 30th at the Cat's Cradle.
