[Editor’s note: A previous version of this post originally appeared on December 10, 2007] 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 [ed. This one made my year-end list, too], 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.”
