I swear, I thought there were about 6 Destroyer fanatics in the world, and I thought I was on a first-name basis with all of them. But based upon what I’ve been witnessing lately, I think I’ve greatly underestimated the number of Bejarites out there. For example, did you know that there was a Destroyer Livejournal Community? If you did know about it, you’d also know about this YSI link to another Rubies track (”3000 Flowers”). Also, word on the street, er, uh, word in my email is that a real, “official” Destroyer website may possibly materialize at some point in the near future. Also, I’m very anxious to hear Carl’s thoughts on Rubies.

Jeez, I know it’s gettin’ cold outside, but I didn’t know hell had frozen over. Kaleb forwarded me an announcement that, what? 2 years? 3 years? on, Ladies & Gentlemen magazine is actually doing another issue. The first one was beautiful, and this next one looks, uh, beautifuller. Details here. Ships Februrary 17th.

Also, the third issue of the great Yeti Magazine is currently on its way out to the shops. There should be a site up soon for you to order directly, but here are the details: Book + CD: 244 page 6″ by 9″ matte gloss journal. CD contains rare/unreleased stuff by Devendra (3 songs), The Postal Service, Iron & Wine, and many others. Book contains a ton of cool stuff, including art by Sammy Harkham, Carson Ellis, Jeffrey Brown, and more.

And swing by Said The Gramophone, as there’s a boatload of mp3s to be had right now (Sean’s “22 Favourite Songs of 2005″), plus also, a contest, where you can win a prize-pack of BMR stuff, including Inventory, the Pre-Inventory EP, and a BMR button. Get on it, all you gotta do is write a haiku.

(Sorry about that rhyme. I wasn’t trying, not that time.)

(Hey! No more rhymes, I mean it!)

(Anybody want a peanut?)
