The heck? Everyone’s all-of-a-sudden covering stuff from Your Blues? Fig. 1: Final Fantasy - An Actor’s Revenge, Fig. 2: Spoon - It’s Gonna Take An Airplane. I realize of course that showing Destroyer love isn’t anything new or particularly notable, it’s just that coming across those two in the same week seemed a little weird to me.

Dan B. himself is here in NYC for the next few days, for the New Pornos shows at Webster Hall. Tickets are a bit rich for my blood at $30, but when you break that down, hell, it’s only $3.75 per band member.

Remember those other projects Dan was involved in with Sydney Vermont? Attention spans being what they are today, the answer to that question is probably “no,” but I’ll remind you: There’s Hello Blue Roses, which is a Bejar/Vermont duo:

And then there’s Bonaparte, which, in addition to Bejar and Vermont, is Josh Lindstrom, Krista Marshall, and Steve Wood (of Giantess nee The Battles, whose new album, I will remind you one more time, is great).

No official word* yet on whether or not this stuff will ever see actual release. One thing’s for sure though, you certainly won’t be downloading it from Oink anytime soon.

(* Although the unofficial word is that Hello Blue Roses should be out on The Locust Label early next year, and that Bonaparte will come out on Soft Abuse at some point after that. Hopefully.)
