Time For An Acid Trip!


I woke up this morning craving an acid tab, but I don't need to go there anymore thanks to The Killers new video for "Spaceman!" This is the kind of shit I would've come up with when I was 7-years-old after playing with my Barbie, He-Man, She-Ra and My Little Pony dolls together in the backyard. I think they all make cameos in this video in some form or another. This is seriously like The Wiz meets Mad Max meets American Apparel and not in a sexy way.

You know, I would pull the lint out of Brandon Flower's belly button with my ass lips, but that "Venger from Dungeons & Dragons goes to a gay Mardi Gras party" has left me destroyed. But I do thank Brandon for keeping my round velcro mit from the 80s safe on his crotch.

That video made me ALMOST not want to take acid. Very representative of Las Vegas. All it was missing was muppets in American Apparel clothes. I thought the backwards walking human-horse thing was pretty trippy at that!

STFU!!!

Kat< Hey, I have eyes. The man is attractive.

Consider...That someone was actually paid money for producing this idiotic display of feathers and neon.

I dunno why but this song and video reminds me of OF Montreal's "Chemicals" video. It's kinda sad since it's lower budget with better quality

I remember when they were the shit. Now, not so much.

I'm with you MK, brandon flowers is a sweet piece of ass, but he does look gay in this video. i would still pluck his ass hairs out with my teeth.

Hey! that sounds like my childhood, but add star wars action figures too!!

Ugh. I hate when people try really hard to be different. It's like Kat von D and Nikki Sixx.

I totally agree saram23! sux sux sux!!!
This "band" is soooo overrated. And those who
think this guy is hot and his music is awesome
please take a peek out of your cave every once in
awhile. It just doesn't work.
I mean even the name "The Killers" is fucking
douchebag central. They need to hang up their flower encrusted armor and sit the fuck down and let someone else take a chance. My ears and eyes need to be petted now.

This looks like a cheap knock off of Queen's "It's a Hard Life" video.

From the look on his face when he is sitting at the table, I'd say he wasn't too impressed with the whole thing either.

I like the song the singer is hot but the video is lame.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

This is like a deleted scene from Labyrinth. Without David Bowie's penis.

That's no acid trip - that's just Burning Man.

Oh wait...

Otter Pop's picture

Maybe Brandon's learned not to take himself too seriously after the last album didn't do well. I don't know but I like it, then again I'm always drawn to freakish looking things.

Ummm you have to believe in the costume to wear it. . .

This looks like the ending of Fellini's "8 1/2", except they don't spin the cameras around and make you seasick like in that flick.

Brandon Flowers is HOT.
That video, however, is NOT.
For something that, I assume, is supposed to be entertainingly weird, it's boring as fuck.

ohno.hideous vid, but not surprising. the song deserves better.

Mittmah,

Exactly what I was thinking. Sounds like bad 80's music too. I couldn't get through it. Although to be fair I think a lot of those 80's videos are great.

LMAO @ this useless band but nonetheless i'd "hit" (no pun)

gina latina's picture

Brandon Flowers could put out a video of him lip synching "Loving You" while picking his nose and eating his boogers and I'd still want to do Fun Dip lines off his naked ass. I love me that hot piece of mormon ass.

I like The Killers, but that was an awful video!

Gry's picture

Whether you like the video or not (it is very like Scandal's "The Warrior" in my mind), it's hard to refute that The Killers are an ace band and that Brandon Flowers's voice is gorgeous and soaring.

Tenative clipboard, ha ha!

Yes, I was just lamenting the lack of any good ol' serial killers out there. I posted a story last night on the open thread about a cannibal story that happened in France while I was living there years ago.
Dahmer filled both my loves by not only being a serial killer, but cannibal as well.
Ahhhh, the good ol' days!

Madam Pince's picture

I agree, Mike. Well-stated.

I tend not to be very forgiving of Mormons, since I was raised in that cult and am still trying to get away from them.

DG: no fucking way, i love me some serial killers...i'm outta true crime shows to watch because i've seen them all...we need some new material out there, seriously...when i first saw Team V's avie, i swear i thought it was john wayne gasey.

now canibals, i don't know much about...however, with the lack of killing material out there, i could prolly be persuaded to get on the canibal fascination bandwagon.

Once again, more material for the open post...i making a tentative agenda on my clipboard!
What genre are they in?

On topic to keep folks happy: Do you know anything about this band, The Killers? Cool name but not so sure about the music.

shut the smurf up's picture

I don't like this song, but I do like The killers in general.

ohh Acid! so many memories

My
best trip was with mushrooms tho..I want an Open post MK!!
He Dicho! caso cerrado!!

DG: have you noticed that all the stories that we are both interested in revolve around drugs, inbreds, violence, jails, and cops...i hope we never meet in person cuz we're somebody's gonna get high, arrested, gang raped by hillbillys, or worse.

LOL!

Add to that my fascination with cannibals and serial killers and DAYUM!

I can't get over Brandon Flowers's being Mormon. This just adds to the belief that true-believing Mormons aren't creative.

Meh. As I always say (and feel free to quote me), Mormonism is just Scientology for the Everyman.

Did he recently have hemorrhoid surgery? He walks funny. And WTF IS UP WITH THAT GET UP??? Looks like he couldn't decide if he wanted to be Bowie or the guy from Road Warrior. Guess he did a little of both.

On open post, if you are still around, I would be most curious to hear what your experience was like. It doesn't have to be detailed, but I always like to hear about a hallucinagenic experience. : )

Ditto...please tell more on open post!

No I haven't. I have heard a bit about it, but never tried. Someone said that it makes you really nauseous.

I'm not recommending it. I was just curious. It didn't make me nauseous, but I had no desire to repeat it (I'm a not much of a hallucinogen fan in general).

This is an obsolutely wannabe-80's horrendous and pretentious piece of garbage. And I have NO clue who these assclowns are.
