What a delightful time I had the other night with some of my very favorite people at The Killers show. I confess I wasn’t always such fan of The Killers. For the most part, I hate show tunes and Vegas and this band smacks of both. Furthermore, for some irrational reason I really, really, really hate that song When You Were Young.
This tour is in service of Battle Born, the band’s most recent release, so no big surprise they played most of that (just-okay) album. 
My personal highlight was Somebody Told Me off 2004′s Hot Fuss. Biggest disappointment? I didn’t even get one song from Brandon Flowers’ totally decent solo album Flamingo. 
The Killers play a super fucking loud and unapologetically glittery and fire-filled show. It is akin to hot-boxing a giant sparkler. 
TV on the Radio. Nine Types of Light. Fucking brilliant. RIP Gerard Smith. 
Stevie Nicks. In Your Dreams. Not better than the old stuff, but still completely decent. 
Not a huge Killers fan, but Flamingo, the new solo record from Brandon Flowers, has really grown on me. 
Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi present Rome. Highlight: Two Against One. 
Eddie Vedder. Ukulele Songs. Let the golden baritone sing you a lullaby against the sound of Hawaiian waves.
