i heard this last night on the radio and had to pull the car over because i was afraid i'd decide to brake suddenly and/or drive my car into a storefront.
this "cover" sounds like a botched abortion that survived somehow. anton corbjin, brandon flowers, and whoever owns the publishing should apologize to me for making me feel this way.

And as he listened, he began to weep.

30 seconds in. Push stop. Consider the eulogy for the bit of me that just died. Immediately do a virus sweep--you know, just.in.case.

Once upon a time, a little after the war started, I was dating this girl, and she loved the Killers. (She turned out to be completely, utterly crazy and has been institutionalized more than once since we broke up. I wonder if this was coincidence.) I put up with that unlistenable crap (and the crazy, don't forget the crazy) because the sex was great, but I don't think everybody who bought Sam's Town got a fierce beej from a redhead with daddy issues. Therefore, I am at a total loss to explain how it has sold more than about six copies.

But I could never put my finger on why they were putrid.

Now at last I know why. They idolize post-punk, but in the way a special needs child idolizes something shiny. They have no clue why it works.

Post-punk was mostly art students and mopey guys who were too serious to be punks. It wasn't a bunch of slick muffinfuckers from Vegas who don't even have the balls to rip off Gang of Four properly. "Somebody Told Me" just hurts. It is so vapid and preening and full of its own bullshit, but it had a few payola dollars behind it and so everybody who didn't know any better though it was so indie and different. I refer to those people as "Trendy Fucks," and now thanks to them and their idiot cash I'm forced to endure Colonel Sanders and the Mustache Kids every time I turn on MTV2. I am subjected to their bloviating shit and complete wankery to the point where I write long, obscene rants about them on the internet. Thanks, Killers, for crapping on everything you touch like some sort of poop Midas.

I say we all line up and take a stab, Murder on the Orient Express-style.
