The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Streethawk: A Seduction (2001) The first of the great records. Still working in the tighter vein of the early releases (at least compared to what comes later) but you can see the sound getting more complex (especially on tracks like "The Bad Arts"). It's also the first album that feels like it was conceived as an album and not just a collection of songs--the pacing in particular is really strong. You can hear a lot of Bowie here. "English Music" has been a long-time favorite.
I remember I was in Miami when it happened. I was posting from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the beach. And I was having an argument with Adamdude.

This Night (2002) It'd be wrong to call This Night a departure in style from Bejar's earlier work--it's still guitar music, at the end of the day. But compared to the relatively tight, controlled songwriting of Thief and Streethawk, This Night really opens up towards maximalism, exploding those tendencies which were latent in the earlier works. Probably my favorite of the early albums, its strongest feature is its command of range, from the drone of "Hey Snow White" to the oddly tender "Goddess of Drought." But the album really shines in the boozier tracks, like a bar band at the end of the night.

its really tiresome to see these ¨good guys¨ talking about any political stuff in tv while also being kinda funny and hip and cool....its just...please enough of this shit.
i made a spotify playlist using the songs you've posted so far and then pressed a button (Enhanced) i've never seen on the app before, probably because i don't make a lot of playlists. when i pressed it, a bunch more Destroyer songs of varying albums were added, along with other indie artists...the walkmen, CYHSY to name a couple. i removed all but the Destroyer songs. This one made my ears perk up.
looking forward to more posts.
