i avoided them purposefully when "somebody told me" was released, based solely on the fact that sometimes, i avoid mainstream music, and OY, they were everywhere.
but then, "mr. brightside" was released.
and i loved it.
[sidenote: i find brandon flowers absurdly attractive, eyeliner or not, dandy or not, hipster-wear or not.]
then there was "when you were young," which, i will admit, is probably one of my favorite songs of the last decade.
however: the songs that followed up "when you were young" lost me. they weren't my cup of tea, and i sort of stopped following the killers for a few years.
i am happy to say that, with their most recent single, they've won me back over, and i've enjoyed the few tracks i've listened to from their new album, battle born.
here's the video for "runaways":
i love the simple treatment of the song, and i'm looking forward to their next single.
