The New killers Single

It's brilliant, and you don't have to take my word on it. Though I couldn't see why you wouldn't: I am a music taste god. All faux egotism aside, the song, Human, a really good song. People are hailing it as a return to their previous sound. I do see the resemblance. But what it reminds me of is if I were to travel the globe and return home. The suttle changes in my personality and beliefs could be paralleled to the changes in the Killer's sound.

Also! In the background there's a distinct beat derivative of a type of music called either chiptune or chip music. Essentially it's music made using only sounds from old 8 bit video games. Like the gameboy, and old Nintendo systems. www.8bitpeoples.com has a lot of samples. Also my previous blog talks about it HERE. The point being, I liked to hear a generally unknown type of music fused into a Killers song.

The Killers Musical

That's right. Someone needs to do it. Setting? Las vegas. Characters? A heroin addict, a stripper, a gambler, a student, and a homeless man. Plot? In one word? Escape. In many? The tale of five people unconnected at first but slowly drawn together by their need to leave this "two-star town".

Wow, I totally already have a mini plot in my head. If only I could write.

I have random flashes of what I'd want to do.

The homeless man lives near the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign in a drainage tunnel.

I'd basically take the final scene from my post "I walked out of town today". It would be very touching and involve one last look back at the twinkling lights. And I'm not sure whether or not the group (minus a couple of people) will drive off or if it should end with them standing around the car looking back at the city.
