Another music video for you, from the ever awful Killers. There is a long and somewhat, momentarily, brilliant history of surreal and absurd music videos, featuring outlandish costumes and nonsensical action – think New Order, Bowie and the mighty live shows of Of Montreal.

This hunk of shite, however, is just plain dreadful. Low-lights include the begrudging, uncomfortable looks the other members of the band shoot at Brandon Flowers as he wonders by, the sub art-school costumes and sub-human choreography. Brandon himself looks bemused, distractedly drumming on the table, dancing with two stuffed puppies, as if the gross excess and expense of it all has alienated even him. Perhaps the whole video is a parody, a brutal send up of the band, of the music industry, of profit, the dead eyed joyless ‘performances’ intentional. Its hardly likely, though. Hopefully this vulgar little fail will be an albatross, marking the band for disaster and used forever to slap them and their record companies with.
