There's something about The Killers...

It's true. I just cannot get enough Killers right now. Brandon Flowers continues to out-do himself with amazing monster ballads such as the new Runaways on the album, Battle Born...

This follows up solid albums like Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, each with at least 4-6 songs that really blow my mind.

A friend of mine knows his family quite well in Las Vegas and when I went to see their concert in Vegas, my friend informed me that his mom was dying of a brain tumor. Sadly, she passed away in 2010.

Brandon is a Mormon but demonstrates a true rock star in my opinion, wearing elaborate outfits and makeup to compliment his unreal voice.

I donno friends, but there's just something about The Killers for me.....

Voices.

Twelve hours in a clinical study affords me the time to share some of my favourite voices of all time.


Sometimes it's about the lyrics...

Sometimes it's about the energy...

and sometimes,

It's just about random people sharing their amazing voice with the world.

Beautiful Sunny day out there in London.

Time for some Harvest activities, and all the while, listening to my new obsession.

A new take on a fun song:

Jillian Kurtz is 24.

Living the dream on this warm March night.

The sound of Coco snuggles in the armpitter after a thick feed of rib tickelers and Boston Creme Cake in honour of the trip we didn't do.

The song of the evening comes from my boy, Walter Disney. RIP...
