Katie, Emma, and Jay have been listening to The Killers since they were little—members of the first generation to truly grow up with the band. Now in their twenties, these three ladies have found that the love they hold for their favorite band has only grown over time. On the Killersluts Podcast, they take a look at the band’s discography to analyze the music and lyrical content while considering the history of the band. But the main goal is to make each other laugh.
71: A Cripping Blow
It's finally time to cover a song that we've (probably) been wanting to discuss since episode one: A Crippling Blow. A near-unanimously loved bonus track with hard-to-decipher lyrics, we are simply obsessed with this one. Topics include baroque pop, whatever Brandon is saying in verse two, and a broken promise.

70: Be Still
This week, we're talking about Be Still! We're also spending about 15 minutes talking about Thrasher, the upcoming tour, and revisiting the My Chemical Romance Podcast. But after that, we ask maybe one of the most important questions of the decade: is Be Still a mirror song?* *We don't explain what this means in the episode because we're assuming you're not new around here. A mirror song, in KSP terms, is a song where the "you" in question is Brandon himself, as if he is speaking to himself in a mirror. check us out on instagram!

69: Enterlude / Exitlude
We hope you enjoy your stay! It's good to have you here with us at the Killersluts Podcast to talk about the capstones for Sam's Town, which means that we get to talk about Sam's Town, and we love Sam's Town! Strap in for our discussion about the origins of these songs, Royal Albert Hall performances, and allusions to Hotel California. check out our Instagram!

67: Have All The Songs Been Written?
This week, we intercepted an email sent from Brandon to Bono, which posed the question, "Have all the songs been written?" This episode features some strong opinions. Topics of discussion include: an alternate fan perspective, Mark Knopfler's guitar, and the cohesion of Wonderful Wonderful. check us out on Instagram!

66: Joy Ride
This week we are talking about Joy Ride! This universally loved song off of Day & Age is not universally loved, it turns out. Maybe that was only the case for critics in 2008. Tune in to hear about Joy Ride (Night Version), Brandon's defence of saxophone, and Katie's misunderstanding of the term "rag top." Check us out on Instagram! (Yes, this episode was recorded before all of those announcements about Thrasher. Please stand by.)

65: All These Things That I've Done
This week, we're talking about all these things that we've done. Grammy-nominated and setlist staple, All These Things That I've Done is genuinely one of the best songs ever written. Tune in to hear some scandalous background on the song, and to listen to us try not to talk over each other for an hour and a half. We were just really excited about it.

64: I Can't Stay
This week on the podcast, we are talking about the best song that has ever been written, I Can't Stay. Topics of discussion include another sun/son debate, the concept of putting the words "exoneration" and "eraser" into your song, and the recontextualization of the song on the Wonderful Wonderful tour. check us out on instagram!

We know what you want... we're going to record and publish an episode of the podcast about Midnight Show tonight... if you can keep a secret... Part two of our Murder Trilogy episodes, this song is so so good. Strap in to hear us discuss the death of Jenny, and which bodies of water are big enough to have tides without being oceans.
