How about The Hives?
They are good stuff. New album supposed to be out later this month, too.
You think?
I got ham, but I’m not a hamster.
I got peas, but I’m not a peanut.
How ’bout not mixing science fiction with fantasy. I hate that.
I have no mouth and I must scream.
One of my favorite bands!
I’m sorry, did you say “dulcet”?
I LOVE the killers!! :)
The Killers are like Depeche Mode, Duran Duran and The Cure had a Buffy/Angel crossover event. Love them.
The keyboard at the beginning of “Jenny” and “Smile Like You Mean It” reminds me of Duran Duran’s “Anyone Out There” and “Nightboat.” I can’t believe how much “Midnight Show” sounds like “Planet Earth.”
Well, you’re a writer so the “I have nothing interesting to say” comment is shocking…especially coming from you. Why not inform us of your opinion on space tourism?
I’d wear a helmet.
I missed the ‘s’ and thought we were getting Jerry Lee Lewis.
Yes, he’s still alive. So is Abe Vigoda.
How about “I got peas, but I’m not a peasant”?
Of course, that’s the equivalent of an eye rhyme.
Killers – meh. Whiny vocals with trouble sticking to the key.
Give me TV on the Radio or my latest fave song, “Cath…” by Death Cab.
That and “Midnight Show” were on a rather short playlist for me for the longest time. I’d just play ’em over and over and over. Drove my last assistant insane. You can still hear her howls echoing down from the top of Chickasaw Mountain if you go there late at night and squint real hard.
But are they human, or are they dancer?

What? Wrong Jenny?
Never mind…
Let’s say The Killers and Death Cab are racing to superstardom… who ya laying your money on?
We got to see them at a tiny little ballroom towards the end of the “Hot Fuss” tour. Most amazing performance it has ever been my good fortune to experience.
I got peas but I’m not a pizza.
No.
