I still hear thooooose voooooices

I feel slightly weird telling people that I like The Killers. Maybe because so many vocal internet people don't. And I feel slightly weird for being affected by them.

Anyhoo. I really love the track "Spaceman" from their new record, mostly because of Brandon Flowers's voice in the softer moments. There's a vulnerability in his singing on this record that I'm not used to hearing, and it's striking.

And then there's the video. I have to give these guys a lot of credit for making a video this fricking weird for a major label release. They have more personality than other bands their size. Credit where it's due.

Dozens

Fun fact! We were interviewed by the BBC as research for this documentary about the Dozens (a.k.a., Your Mother jokes).

Uhh

I just want to make the Weekend Bernie's II tag larger in our cloud.

Sorry. It's necessary.

Burning Flames

My favorite discovery made while writing The Dump with the other Elephant Larry guys:

This song, Island Girl, is featured in Weekend At Bernie's II and it's played by an apparently famous Caribbean band called Burning Flames.



And here's another band. I think they're from Indonesia. Very different, and much younger. Their name? Burning Flame.



I love that these Indonesian punkers probably have NO IDEA that they share their name with a ridiculous calypso band from Weekend At Bernie's II. And God willing, they'll never find out. 'Cause I don't care how hard core you are. There's absolutely no way to own that.
