Just picked up "The Killers" CD...
To think that I was about to give up all hope on new artist, maybe there is still some hope. The CD reminds me a lot of the good old 80s, a touch of New Order, Smiths and the Cure all rolled into one.

The drummer Ronnie Vennucci is a good friend of my best friend. They graduated from high school here,and even jammed together a few times. I guess Vennucci is a good guy,but then again last time he talked to him was long before the Killers broke through.

Why don't you just bury yourself in a pile of unlistenable CDs and then have a good friend light them on fire?frodo_biguns wrote:No shit?

Fraudo's too busy trying to score with his hottie new neighbor in between teaching history, Web design and basement remodeling to be bothered with CD-burning parties. He's waiting for the big get-together at church for that this weekend.Mikey wrote:Why don't you just bury yourself in a pile of unlistenable CDs and then have a good friend light them on fire?
I'm down with this retro-80s Euro pop movement that's going on right now. I love The Killers and Franz Ferdinand. I don't really like Keane...too mellow and Coldplay has done the piano pop thing a little better. We could use a good hard rock boom sometime soon before we get too saturated with Euro pop and piano pop.
Re: Just picked up "The Killers" CD...
i would look into either The Futureheads or Kaiser Chiefs in addition to the Franzies.frodo_biguns wrote:To think that I was about to give up all hope on new artist, maybe there is still some hope.

If you liked that video, I'll send you a CD of the band they are skimming off; The Fall.
