what.cd. i've seen it on soulseek too.

it's a 320kbps promo edition. the catch is that each track fades out during the last five seconds but i couldn't wait any longer so i went ahead and downloaded it.

Róisín Murphy - Overpowered

i wasn't too crazy about this album. the majority of the tracks bored me and even the ones that didn't (Dear Miami) have little replay value. oh well, at least it's not as bad as KATE NASH.

inspired by the D B and the B, NP:

i realize i'm like really late to the Wolf Parade but i think they might be almost my favorite band right now. so side projects a plenty...

Handsome Furs- Plague Park

first track What We Had on endless repeat. i'm probably on 50 listens of that song this weekend.

handsome furs is pretty good, but sunset rubdown is the best thing ever! better than wolf parade even. really, spencer krug is one of my favorite guys working right now.

no way! i've been listening to this Handsome Furs album like crazy and while i like a few Sunset Rubdown songs i'm still not way into them. i think if Wolf Parade split the awesome would be going with this guy instead.

destroyer - trouble in dreams

i haven't got into it yet, but i'm sure i will. i think my favorite artist working today.

tpfkabi · January 17, 2008, 11:14:04 AM

he and wolf parade dudes make up Swan Lake, right - and he's in New Pornographers?
it's hard keeping up with all of these.
are all the Wolf Parade/New P's/Destroyer/etc related bands/side projects pretty good?

JG · January 17, 2008, 11:35:49 AM

destroyer is dan bejar, who is in swan lake with spencer krug of wolf parade and sunset rubdown, and carey mercer from frog eyes. bejar also writes a few songs for each new pornographers album, and they're usually the best ones. destroyer is pretty incredible, your blues is one of my favorite albums ever. rubies, his last, was his weakest, but it was still one of the best of 2006. for a beginner though, i'd recommend streethawk: a seduction.

both wolf parade side projects - handsome furs and sunset rubdown - are worth checking out. sunset rubdown has pretty much become krug's main thing, while wolf parade is his side project. when i talked to krug in the fall he said they had recorded the wolf parade cd and could put it out, but they are going to wait until spring cos thats when they all have time to tour behind it. dude's prolific.
