Did any 2007 album match up to the track-for-track glory of 2006's Rawkblog AOTY Destroyer's Rubies? With the possible exception of Elliott Smith's New Moon, not to these ears. Destroyer - led by inexhaustible reference-flinging possible alcoholic Dan Bejar - has a new album, Trouble in Dreams, due in March, so let's refresh our memories of the band's stellar catalog with this crisp, lively radio session. I don't think I've ever heard Bejar (a notoriously stoic - okay, drunk - performer) sound as playful as he does here on "Your Blood."
