    I love The Killers. There's all sorts of videos, interviews and other performances available on YouTube. Just search for The Killers.

    Yeah, I've always wondered... do you (USA-sians) guys cover *all* the previous days murders on the news (list their names?), or just local murders, or do you just ignore anyone who wasn't rich/famous? Murders here (Australia) are usually the first to third story on the news..
