Destroyer - Kaputt (2011)

off topic by "email interviews" should be banned

i think a lot maybe most? interviews are done by email nowadays you'd be surprised maybe some of them are ones you have loved

No one’s mentioned Jamiroquoi, which is nice of them.
hahaha, wtf! I never heard any jamiroquoi beyond that one single — did the album actually sound like this?
(saw someone compare this to ween on facebook today, too... weird)

why?

i mean surprise surprise no one is paying me $$ to pick up & fly across the country to interview unknown rappers like roach gigz but if u want to buy me a couple tixx i can stop in HI on the way back & watch yr dog lol

no one uses a phone anymore? i pay $120 a month for mine.

i dont really see the advantage of a phone over email tbh. its not like the guys im talking to are getting censored by their agents or something afai can tell.

i see numerous disadvantages -- including some ive had to deal w/ that include tapes not recording properly, volume being too low, danger of mistranscription, the pain in the ass of transcription, etc

i guess you lose the element of 'natural conversation' to it. im sure interviewees love it for being able to allow for nuance etc

ban e-mail "interviews"

Kaputt is #7 on Entertainment Weekly's The Must List for next week

shoulda been higher

I gave the album 5 stars in my review which will be published on Tuesday.

I sent the "Kaputt" video to my jazzbo friend who likes almost zero new pop music and he said it was awesome. For some reason everyone gets this stuff.

played it for my jambro who likes phish and 'can't get into' indie rock b/c the musicianship is subpar or whatever... he seemed lukewarm

kind of a hard person to please tho — i thought for sure he would dig the dirty projies (not rly, altho he said the dude had "a good voice"), and akron/family before that

played it for the chick I'm seeing right now and she thought it was corny

This might be the most usual response... but ohhhhh how wrong it is.

i think its corny & i love it

at some moments i feel like i'm listening to "the saturday night live band"

~in a good way~

ha yeah i cant get the girl im seeing into anything that remotely codes as 'cheese'
i think this is maybe a thing about being that age. or am i being condescending lol

last 2 girls in my car while this was playing made no remarks on it whatsoever.

is the world not ready for this album?

tbf the context of a gr8080 car ride i cant imagine this is a huge variation from what u are normally bumping??

this album is a huge variation from ~everything~

not surprised. destroyer is a geeky -- albeit great -- act (almost wonkish with the insider-baseball lyrics about other musicians and the industry), and will always have limited appeal.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY P4K WON'T GIVE THIS DISC A 10.0, BECAUSE THAT'S THE RUMOR.

The vinyl has a 20 minute instrumental.

^whoa

indeed
