Destroyer Kicks off Tour by Lezah Williamson

Minneapolis, Apr. 16/08

Vancouver's own Dan Bejar (aka Destroyer) kicks off his latest tour tonight in Minneapolis at Bar 400. From there, it looks to be a non-stop rock-'til-you-drop schedule, with Bejar hitting the East Coast, winding his way over to the mid-west, then down south, and ending up in the Pacific Northwest at the Sasquatch Festival in George, Washington (May 24); the final date of the tour is May 31 at the Commodore in Vancouver.

Bejar is a hot favourite around my house. In the words of pitchforkmedia, in his wordy little way, Dan Bejar does slay live. I know that I'm looking forward to the show!

The New Pornographers Myriad Harbour is Christine's 'daily fix' Enjoy!

Myriad Harbour lyrics provided by metrolyrics.com

I took a plane; I took a train.

Ah! Who cares? You always end up in the city.

I said to Carl, "Look up for once,

See just how the sun sets in the sky."

I said to John, "Do you think the girls here

Ever wonder how they got so pretty?"

(Well, I do.)

Look out upon the myriad harbour. (x3)

All the boys with their homemade microphones

Have very interesting sounds.

All the girls fall into ruin --

Droppin' out of school, breakin' Daddies' hearts -- Just to hang around.

I walked into the local record store

And asked for an American music anthology -- It sounds fun.

They tore at my skirt and stuck it on the walls At P.S. 1.

I took a plane; I took a train.

Ah! Who cares? You always end up in the city.

Stranded at Bleecker and Broadway

And looking for something to do.

Someone somewhere asked me,

"Is there anything in particular I can help you with?"

All I ever wanted help with was you.

Look out upon the Myriad Harbour. . . (x4)
