Top Ten Destroyer Albums:

1) Streethawk: A Seduction (2001)

Okay, yes.

2t) Thief (2000)

2t) City of Daughters (1998)

I’m glad I’m not alone in loving these, and I would agree that they belong together on this list because in a lot of ways I think they are the same record. I would probably move them down a notch.

4) This Night (2002)

Not #1, but definitely in the top 5 and let’s just say #3, because I am a girl. If I ever destroy my life in the course of an hour it will be to this record.

5) Kaputt (2011)

LOOK IT’S REALLY COMPLICATED OKAY I DON’T EVEN WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BUT I LOVE THIS ONE LESS AND IT KILLS ME WHY CAN’T I LOVE IT WHY WHY WHY

6) Collection of Dan Bejar’s 10-12 best songs for the New Pornographers (2000-)

What? Can you do this? Can you do this and not put Bay of Pigs on the list? I would take this out and replace it with Bay of Pigs.

7) Rubies (2006)

I also like this record a lot (see below). This is harder than I thought. I give up now.

8) Your Blues (2004)

9) We’ll Build Them a Golden Bridge (1996)

10) Trouble in Dreams (2008)

What? Stop making fun! Just be happy I went with this instead of the Top 50 Destroyer Songs.

For some reason this has already taken me three cigarettes and I am now profoundly distressed. Here is the most personal thing I have ever posted on the Internet:
