    Did Dat Dude Describe Destroyer? - Thief

    Destroyer's streak of exponential improvement album-by-album continues with their third record Thief, an album hailed as a masterpiece by such luminaries as Pitchfork, The New York Times, and Mountain Goats frontman John Darnielle. Will da Destroyer describers agree? Or will they say it's dogshit? Or perhaps a more nuanced third option? Tune in to find out. Plus: a bunch more 3D printing talk, the final word re: is Mario a superhero, a discussion re: whether Dan Bejar knows how to fight, and the debut of the classic segment "Destroyer News." Music clipped in this episode: "I Wanna Destroy You" by The Soft Boys "Twin Size Mattress" by The Front Bottoms "Echo Power" by Points Gray "All The Right Moves" and "A Room of One's Own" by Vancouver Nights "Destroyer's the Temple" and "Loves of a Gnostic (Bandmix)" off Destroyer's 7" single "The Temple" "Destroyer's the Temple" solo version by Destroyer from Blaine Thurier's film "Low Self Esteem Girl" "Arrhythmia" by Loscil "Behind the Beehive" by Zumpano "Lausanne Part IIB" by Keith Jarrett ...and of course, all songs on Destroyer's Thief

    Did Dat Dude Describe Destroyer? - City of Daughters

    We turn our eyes to City of Daughters, Destroyer's second album, and their first album to have real music on it and not funny prank music. It would really have been cool and smart of Dan to have had this be his debut. But we cannot change the past. Plus, we discuss Alternating Currents (a sick ass music festival in the Quad Cities), buying swords, getting into 3D printing, and answer your irrelevant questions! You can send your own non-music-related questions to destroyerpodcast@gmail.com and we will answer them in a future episode!
