Most of us never get our fifteen minutes let alone the five years that Bowie warned us about.  I think I jumped on the Killers bandwagon too early in their musical arc because I am eagerly awaiting their five years to come to a close.  This new song of theirs, “Human”, another rehash of 80s synth pop clusterfudge that will inevitably soundtrack a myriad of junior high make-out sessions and soft, sitcom outros doesn’t resolve any of my ill will towards the band.  It just does the usual job at making one’s love life sound like a credit card commercial.  Its a little embarrassing to listen to but it is, after all, musical crack: you know the stuff is bad for ya but it sure does feel good when no one is watching.  What these dudes need is some cheaper mics, some broken equipment, and a handful of dust in the tape machine to help me connect with them because there is no way I can recommend this with my usual notarized signature.  This recommendation comes from under the table where it can never be traced back to me.  Now I’ll play it again for the umpteenth time.
