It's time to discuss that unnerving man-crush of mine that is Brandon Flowers. I mean come on, he's suave, he's sophisticated, he's fasionable, he's sexy and he makes the most amazing music on the face of this planet.
Mustacheless, this would be his Hot Fuss look.
And mustacheful, the look of Sam's Town.
Brandon Flowers is the front-man of the band The Killers. They are my favourite band ever, and I would like to thank Keagan and Chloe for ever introducing them to me. I spend a week obsessing over these guys on a fortnightly basis. I can't explain what's so appealing about them to me apart from the fact their music the best I've heard.
My all-time favourite song ever is Read My Mind, by The Killers. This song is perfect, from the church-hymn sounding synth to the catchy guitar riff and deep lyrics. Brandon himself said it was the best song he's ever written. If there's one thing I want to do in my life before I die, it is to see this song live.
I'm on the corner of Main Street,
Just trying to keep it in line.
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind.
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breaking out of this two-star town.
I got the green light, I got a little fight,
I'm gonna turn this thing around.
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man,
The restless heart, the promised land.
The subtle kiss that no-one sees,
A broken wrist and a big trapieze.
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind,
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine.
Before you go could you read my mind?
It's funny how you just break down,
Waiting on some sign.
I pull up to the front of your driveway,
with magic soaking my spine.
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun,
The drop-dead dream, the chosen one.
A southern drawl, a world unseen,
The city walls and a trampoline.
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind,
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine.
Before you jump, tell me what you find,
When you read my mind.
Slippin' in my faith until I fall,
You never returned that call.
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting.
I wanna breathe the fire again.
She said I don't mind if you don't mind,
'Cause I don't shine you don't shine.
Put your back on me,
Put your back on me,
Put your back on me.
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind.

I promise never to come between you and your lifesize cardboard cutout of Brandon Flowers. ;)
A lot of people have crush in their favorite band, actor/actress and sport man/woman. Because it brings back memory of something that you like. It almost like Generic Viagra is for a lot of people.
