Jarvis takes a swipe at The Killers, premieres new video

May 14, 2009, 3:46pm Drawer B

The Guardian is featuring Jarvis Cocker as its guest reviewer for Singles Club this week. Well, Jarvis and his kids. He's given a predictable mix of pop, alternative, and hip-hop. But his take on The Killers' "The World We Live In" is hilarious and spot on: The Killers – The World We Live In That title is just asking for trouble: what, you're gonna sum up the whole of human existence in 4mins 13secs are you Mr Flowers? OK, hit me. Apparently the planet we are inhabiting sounds like [...]

Brandon Flowers Takes Break From Busy Schedule To Continue Being An Idiot

May 1, 2009, 10:52am The Tripwire

It's only been a few weeks since The Killers' Brandon Flowers declared that Kurt Cobain ruined rock'n'roll , but he's back at it again, and this time Nirvana isn't the only band in his sights. He'd also like to take this opportunity to talk trash about Led Zeppelin. Because hey, if you can be a famous singer you can at least be a famous douche bag. Flowers told NME.com that they're planning on using their upcoming North American tour to amp up their American audience to be on [...]

Apr 7, 2009, 5:53pm Subterranean Blog

Mr. Brightside (errr Brandon Flowers) recently declared that "Kurt Cobain and grunge took the fun out of Rock N Roll". He cited his own band as making Rock N Roll more "playful and brighter". This statement was made almost 15 years to the day of Kurt Cobain's death. Coincidence? PR spin? I guess you can be the judge.

The Killers Are Sick Of Each Other

Apr 2, 2009, 4:02pm The Tripwire

Apparently Brandon Flowers' growing rage over the misunderstanding of his lyrics has finally taken its toll on The Killers - word in the rumor mill is that the bandmates have had just about enough of each other.

Selling the Wind

Mar 30, 2009, 6:45pm Cannibal Cheerleader

NEW KILLERS EP The Killers newest LP Day & Age is crammed full of the same working-man-with-mascara pop we've come to know and love from the group, one of the standout tracks being the wild outer limits ride that is "Spaceman". Well it turns out the foursome is releasing a Spaceman EP, featuring the titular track as well as two other songs, an unreleased b-side called "Tidal Wave" and a wonderful cover of "Four Winds" by Bright Eyes. The diatribe on modern America, while a definitive Oberst [...]

Under Cover: The Killers

Feb 25, 2009, 5:35pm PopWreck(oning)

So apparently, I have a bit of a reputation of being a Killers lover. This label was only reinforced by last week's Under Cover: The Killers ' "Mr. Brightside". In my defense, I would like to say that I'm not one of those fan girls who has scribbled Mrs. Brandon Flowers all over my notebook (it wouldn't matter; he's married) and my love for the Killers is a lot more practical than how "hott" I rate him. No, I honestly can admit that what I [...]

Coldplay and Bono Join Brandon Flowers For “All These Things That I’ve Done”

Feb 21, 2009, 10:55am Pretty Much Amazing

This is one of those crappy Youtube videos that's just going to make you jealous of people who were actually at this concert, but it's DEFINITELY worth the post. Three of our generation's biggest rock stars (all with correspondingly big egos) performed together the other night at a War Child benefit concert, playing arguably the Killers' best song, "All These Things That I've Done." A high-quality video has yet to surface, so now we're stuck with 3 or 4 crummy ones on Youtube. Watch the video below (my personal favorite of the crap), and allow Chris Martin, Bono, and Brandon [...]
