But, on the other hand, we have the absolutely dreadful track "Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll"...at least it does exactly what it says on the tin - the song is every bit as dire as the title would suggest! It is songs like that where I fear for the bands' future - will they sound exactly like the Stereophonics on the second album? The likes of "Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll" make me tremble at the possibility.

You should have been culturally sensitive and said "Out come the teapots, wot wot!"

AND THE ANSWER IS YES IT DOES, BECAUSE THE TEENAGERS KNOW. EVEN IF YOU DON'T. AND TEENAGERS RULE THE WORLD.

Brandon's vox are so varied on the album - ok, so he sounds just like Le Bon on "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine", but on "Mr Brightside" he starts by sounding just like the person who sings on Underworld's "Born Slippy" only to transmogrify into Midge Ure. Which does beg the question - should we applaud him for his vocal range and ability to adopt different styles of singing, or criticize him for cynically trying to win over ppl who have fond memories of those records of the past?

Do you think they really have potential for Boy Band status? That would be awesome if they did.

"Has anyone seen the new video for the Killers' "Mr. Brightside"? I have a totally abstract crush on Brandon Flowers, but when I see that video, that abstract crush is a totally full-on crush and my vagina explodes. When I told him this, which i did cause I've got no shame, he was blown away from that term and asked if that was a good thing. Yes, it's a good thing. H-E-A-R-T-T-H-R-O-B."

Actually, chances are very good it *was* Brandon -- the guy looked pretty much exactly like the Brandon still up above from the "Mr. Brightside" video, and he himself vouched for the fact that he attended at least one of the Vegas concerts during the Pop Trash tour, so, um, yeah.

I was just using The Hives as an example because, to the best of my knowledge, it's the most recent example of radio ignoring the first single off the follow-up record. I could have said "My Favourite Game" by The Cardigans I guess..

Is anyone else watching SNL right now?
"Human" was bad enough, but WTF is this second song? Is it about mad scientists or alien abduction or something?
Also, I never realized it until now with these big Jim Steinman-type productions, but Brandon Flowers sounds a lot like Meatloaf.
― Johnny Fever, Sunday, 5 October 2008 04:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i really like "human"
probably their worst lyrics ever but they can crank out epic 80s songs like this no problem
