somebody told me
the Killers' Brandon Flowers on keepin it real, yo:
"Look at a band like the Bravery. They're signed because we're a band," Flowers said. "I've heard rumors about [members of] that band being in a different kind of band, and how do you defend that? If you say, 'My heart really belongs to what I'm doing now,' but you used to be in a ska band. I can see the Strokes play or Franz Ferdinand play and it's real, and I haven't gotten that from the Bravery. I think people will see through them." (via Arjan Writes)
I'm not big on the Bravery (although they may prove me wrong when they open for Ash tonight), but I would like to point out the irony of a guy from Las Vegas who somehow developed an English singing accent telling some dudes jumping onto the new-new-wave thing that they're not "real." Dude is lucky that Flock of Seagulls existed, or he'd be cleaning Casinos for a living.
Oh... and the new Oasis single has leaked. Shoot me an email if you can't find it. It's not bad, but nothing they haven't done before.
now playing: Blondie - Call Me
