Haha, you know I still love you like a BRUTHA, tonya. P.S. What's the story behind your name? Have you not heard of the one and only Tonya Harding? |

That's funny. She is a mess so it's appropriate her name is immortalized on this board, lol.
Have you not heard the two new Killers songs yet? Neon Tiger and that other one whose name I forget? They were both so amazing live!

They were both so amazing live! I'll make it a point to look them up when I get home tonight. I've got a whole list of new stuff I need to check out: Franz Ferdinand, Killers, Bloc Party, and uhhhhh can't think of what else. |

NEWS!!! Taken from RollingStone:
After four years of nonstop touring and recording, the Killers finally took some time off before beginning work on their third album — but frontman Brandon Flowers wasn’t ready to relax. He wound up using the three months of downtime to write nearly 30 songs. “Everything is at stake on this album,” Flowers says. “Everything. I live through these songs. People make such a big deal about the second album: ‘Do or die.’ But I feel like the pressure to produce something great will always be there. It’s our job, after all.”
The Killers’ second release, 2006’s concept album Sam’s Town, was an overseas smash and sold 1.3 million copies in the U.S. — about half of their debut, 2004’s Hot Fuss. But some critics pegged the album’s stadium-rock sound as overblown. Flowers shrugs off those gripes — “Sam’s Town was a giant success. That’s a misunderstood truth” — but the Killers took a new approach on this album, which was produced by Madonna collaborator Stuart Price. “This record is stripped down in a lot of ways,” says bassist Mark Stoermer. “Each instrument has its place, and things aren’t clouding anything up. We’re not trying to be bombastic. It’s our most poppy record but also our most experimental.”
The band debuted two new songs from the album, “Spaceman” and “Neon Tiger,” at a surprise New York club show in late July. “Spaceman” is a tight, fast pop tune, with punky, guitar-heavy verses and a funky bridge with subject-appropriate spacey synth effects. “The spaceman says, ‘Everybody look down,’ ” Flowers sings in the chorus. The midtempo “Neon Tiger” is more anthemic and synth-heavy, with Flowers singing, “Neon tiger, there’s a price on your head/Never let them touch you.” Other songs include “Vibration” (working title), which Stoermer describes as “a fun dance track,” and “Goodnight, Travel Well,” a seven-minute experimental epic.
As Flowers tells it, criticism of the band has only made it stronger. “We learned that you can’t please everyone,” Flowers says. “But we’ve got faith in what we do, faith in our fans and faith in the soon-to-be-converted.”
**I can't wait to hear Goodnight, Travel Well!!**

Nice! They are one of my favorite bands, between Radiohead and Zeppelin. I am sooo excited I could soil myself.

Bump.
The album is called Day And Age, so maybe we should change the subject. :)

The Killers really do have some serious pop brilliance. Songs like Read My Mind, Mr. Brightside, All These Thing That I've Done, Somebody Told Me, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, and When You Were Young are just perfection. So yeah, I'm really looking forward to see if they can still pull off some of that magic on this album.

The day that song leaks I will probably pass out for a few hours and will need to be revived before continuing with my day...

www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/145547-the-killers-reveal-new-album-day-ageThe Killers Reveal New Album, Day & Age  Photo by Torey Mundkowsky "Synth atmospherics"! "Powerful, chunky guitars and horn swells"! "Dazzling anthemic" songs! Bold statements like these in a press release can only precede one momentous occasion: a new Killers record! Day & Age, the third LP from the histrionic Vegas rockers, is due November 25 from Island Records. Recorded in Las Vegas and London and produced by Stuart Price of Les Rythmes Digitales, the disc is their follow-up to 2006's Sam's Town, and will be preceded by first single "Human". There's a seven minute epic called "Goodnight, Travel Well"! "I Can't Stay" has a tropicalia chorus! There are songs called "Losing Touch" and "Spaceman"! And the cover art consists of portraits of all four Killers by artist Paul Normansell! Statements like these are what exclamation points were invented for.
