"It's Like A Massage ... Only You Kill Somebody"

The Killers were actually entertaining on Kimmel. Check out this clip at YouTube.

Inspired by a true story.

"I think Bob Dylan said you can't be a Mormon and be cool," Flowers noted. "But I don't know. I feel pretty cool sometimes."

The tagline of stereogum should be this: "2 to 5 days. that's how long it takes us to catch up to the zeitgeist. sometimes more."

Seriously though, you're good people.
Also, I still like how the comments can invade the sidebar ads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

"he's dead, Pony Boy's dead" loved it, usually not a huge fan of Kimmel but that was hilarious. Love the Killers in it too, totally redeemed their SNL performance in my mind.

Aww... that redeemed B.Flowers a bit for me.

And poor Ponyboy! I guess that's the best gig he can get nowadays.

The dragging was a little disturbing, though. I didn't think they were gonna do it twice, much less draaaag (totally intended) it out.

Actually Flowers is no stranger to vehicular homicide:

That was better than the band's music itself.

I still find it hilarious that even their band's name isn't original, but rather a rip off of that New Order "Crystal" video.

Looks like a ripped off Dave Chappelle skit to me.

"I think Bob Dylan said you can't be a Mormon and be cool."

With the possible exception of Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk, Mr. Zimmerman was right for once. C'mon - we've all seen the South Park episode!

Funny but not original, too similar to the Dave Chapelle skit with Wayne Brady.
