Brandon Flowers releases first solo tune, “Crossfire”

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is going the solo route with a brand new album called Flamingo and his first single was just released.
The song is called "Crossfire" and I happily thought that he was going to cover the theme song of the intense board game of the 80's and 90's that bares the same name. Sadly, though, it was not meant to be. Instead you're hearing basically what the stuff… Read More

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

New Moon soundtrack leaks

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

The album that you really want to buy but don't want anyone to know that you own has leaked onto the interwebs. I'm talking about the soundtrack for the film New Moon.
