The Offical "The Killers" Thread
Brandon Flowers: "Thom needs to write pop songs" The Killers' Brandon Flowers - seen this weekend gracing the cover of The Observer Magazine, posing like a gay cowboy - has said that Radiohead's Thom Yorke should ditch his electro-bleepin' songwriting and get back to penning pop songs. Flowers told the aforementioned glossy supplement: “He should feel grateful that's he's (been) given the gift to write pop songs - which he needs to write again!” What Thom has to say about Flowers' current facial hair - patchy and with a limp caterpillar moustache - we don't know, but The Killers' frontman explained his facial furniture thusly: “I've never been able to grow a moustache before!” Fair enough - I can't grow a beard, to be honest. Don't think I haven't tried, either - I stayed in for two weeks solid, rubbing my chin with carpet samples, but all I managed to do was generate static enough to stick my face to the wall for a good six hours at a time. Like a balloon. A red, hairless balloon. The Killers have a record out next week. Perhaps you've read about it already... http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/1164908

What's the matter with X&Y?
X&Y has no meaning as an album, it's just a compilation of very badly mixed songs. if you could mix the songs onto different albums, then it might sound much better. this album doesn't have it's own atmosphere, everything sounds like a mess. there's no connection between songs. you can enjoy some songs particularly, but as an album it doesn't work, at least for me. after all X&Y isn't dreadful or unlistenable, but it's a big disappointment from a band which wants to be the best band in the World. they definitely need to renew

Radiohead
i guess Lera requested this some time ago: Children draw Radiohead --------------- It is no longer possible to have an original opinion on Radiohead. You've absorbed the deified albums, quarreled over the rock critic pontifications, frowned at the guarded, combative interviews. Thom Yorke's ugly-stick-beaten mug has peered at you from the pages of every magazine known to man; his every word and every note has ignited its own individual Internet flame war. Mass media has bombarded us with Radiohead critique, rendering us unable to generate an unfiltered opinion of our own. When you listen to Radiohead, you're no longer actually listening to Radiohead -- you're listening to everyone's opinion about Radiohead. It's impossible to separate what you hear from what you've read. You are betrayed by what you know, and you know way too much. Thus, in order to solicit an honest, undiluted opinion about Radiohead, you'd have to find the proverbial People Living Under Rocks. As People Living Under Rocks are unavailable, let's use fifth graders. Specifically, Mitsi Kato's fifth-grade class at Roosevelt Elementary in San Leandro. Mitsi has consented to a simple experiment: We will play a career-spanning selection of Radiohead songs; the kids, equipped with Sharpies and blank sheets of paper, will simply draw whatever the music suggests to them. We don't even give them the name of the band. They don't know anything about Radiohead, the mountain of criticism, the mythology. Their thoughts and interpretations are pure, unsullied, literally unique. They are also extremely bizarre. The kids consent to this experiment, if only because Mitsi tells them to. They do, however, immediately request that we play Sean Paul or 50 Cent instead. "This is not hip-hop," Mitsi says. "I'm not asking if you like it." She doesn't have to ask. They don't. We begin with Hail to the Thief, Radiohead's latest, a critically adored and hopelessly muddled platter of art rock weirdness. The kids shift restlessly as "2+2=5" sputters into guitar-and-drum-machine gear. When Thom Yorke's famously tortured croon first surfaces, the whole room starts giggling. Giggling. For the first few songs, the kids hardly move, scarcely even changing facial expressions. One girl plants her head on her desk face-first. The "hold your head in your hands and look completely confused" look is extremely popular. But slowly, they begin drawing. One kid starts scrawling a guitar; the girl next to him immediately begins copying -- an apt metaphor for music criticism. To dispel the room's chilly vibe, we switch to 2000's slightly less clinical Kid A; the warm keyboards of "Everything in Its Right Place" thaw the kids out a bit. The kid who specifically requested Sean Paul begins drawing what looks like a giant stalk of asparagus. But let's not peek. So as not to lord over the artists, we snoop around Mitsi's classroom a bit, particularly the official rules for Room 14. Thom Yorke would be in blatant violation of several of these, including "Don't fidget," "Be helpful," and particularly "Keep negative ideas to yourself." After the droning, horn-blasted dirge of "The National Anthem," we throw caution to the wind and toss on OK Computer's truly psychotic guitar freakout "Paranoid Android," which leads to The Bends' far sweeter "High and Dry," which the class seems to like the best. We consider playing Radiohead's debut fluke alt-rock smash "Creep," but the kids might recognize it, and it's profane besides. Instead, perhaps "Anyone Can Play Guitar" will inspire them. Unlikely. Returning to Hail to the Thief for the grand finale, Mitsi's announcement that "Sail to the Moon" will be our last song earns a chorus of "Yessss" and several robust fist-pumps. Thom has made few fans. Ah, but the experiment yields about thirty stark, black-and-white Radiohead interpretations that represent the purest, most honest take on the band you'll find anywhere. The kids will now take over; for the rest of you, Radiohead is playing Shoreline Amphitheater Tuesday night. Call ahead before bringing art supplies. pictures (no bigger resolution available):

Recommend an album
1. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless dreamy, beatiful, noisey rock. triumph of their career and...Pitchfork rated it as the best album of the 90s in 99, 2nd was OKC then...some years later OKC and Loveless switched places for unknown reasons... one of the best albums ever 2. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea best indie band ever, best indie album ever. if you want real indie pop/rock listen to this and not to fucking Razorlights or Kasabians BEST FUCKING INDIE ALBUM EVER! 10.0 3. Jeff Buckley - Grace you probably heard enough appreaciation about Jeff 4. Neil Young - Harvest 5. Neil Young - After The Goldrush i'm really into Neil Young now, these 2 are my favourites from his all, even better than On The Beach in my opinion. you should give them a try. Neil's voice is beatiful 6. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures 7. Joy Division - Closer you will love them because of Ian Curtis' voice (Interpol's Paul Banks sounds very similar), you will love them because of heart-touching lyrics, even if they can be really depressing and you will love them because Love Will Tear Us Apart is one the best songs ever written 8. R.E.M. - Automatic For The People a classic R.E.M. album, i think it's their best yet 9. George Harrison - All Things Must Pass best post-Beatles era album 10 Liars - Drum's Not Dead easily best album of 2006, it's just amazing. you might not heard about it before, because it wasn't really reviewed anywhere, but believe me this stuff is amazing. overall: 50th 2006: 1st!!!
