The Killers (part II)

   How about that new Killers album? You take it for a spin yet? I'm following up on that review. This is important, so even if you didn't, bear with me.

   Hot Fuss as War instead of Boy... I said that because War was a very heavy album, very rock... Hot Fuss in a similar vein... Not that Boy wasn't brash, it wasn't per se but there was a much better transition from that to October than there was from October to War... If it had gone War- Boy- October and then to Unforgettable Fire (skipping over the live album Under a Blood Red Sky, whose Killers equivalent would be Live from the Royal Albert Hall, but that came immediately after Day & Age instead of before it so I'm not sure how equivalent that would be, but why not since we're switching release dates around anyway) it would seem a much smoother continuum and maybe October wouldn't be such a "Sophomore slump," because it comes third now instead of second so you'd have War there instead, but who knows?

   I was thinking about Collapse, about how it's not receiving enough money (Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing system, so if we don't meet the goal, we're not getting anything. Donate here, now. That's an order.) Maybe a little Killers blood is just what we need to rejuvenate Collapse. Collapse was filmed entirely in Nevada, making it up-Killers-alley. They'd probably be glad to licence some of their music for us, at maybe a cheaper rate than normal (hopefully free, if they're interested enough.) That would certainly get attention and people interested in the project. There's only a couple of weeks left, and we're not even at 10% of the goal. We need this attention. Runaways seems perfect, but I'm not sure how we're going to go about this. If anyone has any ideas, please share them now. Well, not necessarily now, but please share them at all. Soon. At least I'll see that people are thinking about this. Please and thank you.
