I’M OBSESSED WITH THE KILLERS
By Beth in Uncategorized, Music on March 30 2007
Rarely do I engage in idol worship. It’s against my religion, first off, and secondly I’ve never been that kinda gal. I might as well have been born kvetching about my mother’s breastmilk being too sour. Ok, not really. I was actually a really sweet and obiding tot, but I’m not the type who blindly follows whatever pop trend is en vogue. And I never owned a New Kids On The Block trapper keeper. NEVER.
So how is that I find myself 29 and totally in love with wannabe British Alternative Rock circa early ’90s band The Killers? Much to my husband’s dismay and disapproval, I shamelessly listen at all hours to their new hit single “Read My Mind” and hum their tune. I’ve even got him humming along at times.
For me the song’s become a bit of an anthem for this site. I’m a lyrics girl. I’ve never understood the appeal of listening to 10-minute long guitar solos. Besides, every time The Killers sing the refrain, She said I don’t mind if you don’t mind. Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine doesn’t my husband know that they are singing those very words for him from me. Who could have known such a cheesy pop song could carry such mileage?
Maybe if I buy the t-shirt shown here in XS my husband will be more forgiving of the band?
