The Killers - When You Were Young

Have we all heard this yet, then?

What do we think?

I reckon it's a bit of a grower. Nowhere near as immediate as the stuff off the first album. Completely different vibe, too... less synthy disco, more... well, FM-friendly AOR. Though still distinctly them.

7/10?

It was on Radio One a week or two ago. Annie Mac played it when she was in for the Whiley. God bless our Annie:

"I asked for opinions on the text. Some people saying it's a bit rubbish. WHAT? Are you deaf?! It's amazing!"

But not in that annoying Chris Moyles rude way. More that gleefully enthusiastic "I respect your opinion, but you are of course wrong" way.

Zane's been caning it by the looks of his tracklistings online.

I obviously don't recommend the use of p2p filesharing for acquisition of copyrighted material, but I know for a fact that it's easy to get through such methods...

Zane is a stupid fat ****.

My mate saw him near the old Capitol building whilst he worked for XFM.

He was in KFC, caning, caning, caning, the fried chiken by the looks of it.

No argument there.

I saw these guys at Hyde Park Calling a few weeks ago, they reminded me of the killers (prob due to the synths).

Check out the song 'Ecstacy'. The intro is ripped from 'Go' by Moby but it's a top tune and they were fantastic live.

Yes. Her kookiness adds to her fitness too.

I hear Simon's presenting Buzzcocks now.

I like Simon Amstell.

My sister was seeing someone who was kind of him, more or less... Only I guess less gay, or maybe not less was gay and that's why they're no longer kicking it.

I like his replacement Alex Zane

The replacement bird is fit and a nutter as well.

Bet she loves anal.

But while we're on C4 presenters, Russel Brand is a **** - I hope he gets hooked on the horse again and dissapears. I've seen him live a few times, he used to be ******* funny, but now he just seems to pander to those dickless morons that go on the BB spinoff programs - I think they should be gassed, and if he wants to suck up to them, so should he.

As far as the Killers new stuff...

Well, kinda bizarrely, I've heard at least 3 people in completely different situations just spontaneously burst out with "And he doesn't look a thing like Jesus, But he talks like a gentleman" which suggests it's pretty catchy.

I've not actually bothered to listen to it yet.

Alex Zane annoys me because he is young and talented. git.

i suspect this is more my issue than his though.

damnit.

Yeah, but Emvee was a zombie in Shaun of the Dead.

Proof enough that EmVee > Alex Zane, methinks.

Of that there is no doubt, doesn't mean that I'm adverse to the idea of watching them fight it out.

Friends find, look behind.
