Brandon Flowers Goes Solo With Flamingo Or Is He Dancer?

Earlier this week a cryptic countdown appeared on The Killers website with the pot of gold at the end of the tunnel being the news that oft-winged frontman Brandon Flowers will be releasing a solo album which will be "coming soon". No other details are available as of yet so essentially there was a countdown for news that is coming soon, hooray. You can head over to his new solo site to sign up for the latest updates on the new solo album while a loop of what is presumably some new music plays in the background.   [via CoS]

Question: How Many Douchebags Does it Take...

...to get a "dope jam going" - Kanye's words, not mine.

Answer: One... Two... Three - THREE (said in the tone of the wise Tootsie Pop owl).

I'm surprised all that ego fit into one room. Bravo Brandon - "fun" shirt and congratulations on taking another step towards securing your place as someone I'll never dream of sleeping with. I'm sure your heart is breaking.

Dear God, Make Brandon Flowers a Bird - Part 2

I know The Killers are popular, and I have enjoyed many of their songs in my day - but someone needs to let Brandon Flowers know that he is not the cat's pajamas. If allowed the platform, I'd gladly volunteer to fill that role. Bravo, Brandon. You've uber douched yourself yet again.

"I don't mean it in a bad way but I think Kurt Cobain and grunge took the fun out of rock and roll."

- The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers

I guess from where BFlowers is from, "fun" has an different definition. Look how "fun" his blazer is. I wonder if he's yet figured out if he's human or dancer...

Dear God, Make Brandon Flowers a bird so he can fly far, far far away from here

So many questions. Why are you doing this to your band? Isn't it bad enough that you drive me to the brink of insanity every time you ask me if I'm human or dancer, yet get stuck in my head for long periods of time like some karmic punishment? And to the rest of the band, why are you standing for this? You cannot tell me a little bit of you doesn't die inside every time you see the clips from your new video. What do you think of Brandon Flowers feathery pads?
