Who else likes "The Killers?"
Watch their Mr. Brightside video with Eric Roberts. Great song from one of the better new bands. Just my opinion.

4. Somebody Told Me is my earworm
My wife's, too.

And they were pretty good on SNL this past weekend.

Anyone know if the rest of the album grows on you? I'm not sure I'm keen on what I've heard.

6. I love the album, I think every song is fabulous.
And yes, they were great on SNL.

They were on MTVs show Hard Rock Live, and they were really awesome on that, if you ever see it on TV check it out. :7

7. I'll be damned....I thought I'd be ostracized for liking something so...
MAINSTREAM.

DUers tend to poo-poo on the things you like sometimes. Oh, don't look at me so surprised, you know it's true. One time, we ran a dude outta town for liking Clay Aiken. Ok, it wasn't quite that bad, but...

I say, like what you like!

*Steps down from soapbox* ;)

13. Oh, you mean "The Killers" (1964) Ronald Reagan, Lee Marvin


I saw this film in Cairo, Egypt in 1973. The country was off limits largely to Americans (like I cared). The mostly male Egyptian audience loved it but got up and walked out after the big shoot out scene at the end with about 5 minutes to go in the picture. Is the band named after the movie (named after a Hemingway short story)?

16. Killers can be seen here...
http://www.mtv.com/bands/az/killers_the/audvid.jhtml

MTV has some Killers music videos on their website as well as videoed interviews etc.

Interpol are also very good.
