Hearing Mr. Brightside -- The Killers

Some Wednesday Music




I'm coming a little late to this particular party, but, man, do I dig The Killers. Check out the video for their hit "Mr. Brightside," which has the drive of an early Blondie song, except with a guy singing, instead of Debbie Harry. Mmmmm... Debby Harry.

    OMG, it does.  It took forever to find it, on my own computer.  'Smile Like You Mean It' is my favorite off that album.
    BTW, I had to pull out my Kate Bush cd.  I only have the 'Sensual World' but it's also my favorite.  
    I didn't really pull it out, it was all ready on the computer, I just had to load it to WinAmp.

    If I were in The Killers, I'd make a serious effort to get a 666 license plate.

    There is a part of this song that reminds me of Blondie's Dreaming.....am I right? Anyone? Or is it another Blondie song?
