Jarvis Cocker in the Guardian

Jarvis has a new solo album next week.. To celebrate the Guardian are devouting a weeks worth of features to him (basically it's a little like when the BBC supported U2s album launch but not paid for with my licence fee).. Monday they streamed his new album. Today he (and his kids) reviewed the weeks singles.

He sums up The Killers new effort The World We Live In thus:

That title is just asking for trouble: what, you're gonna sum up the whole of human existence in 4mins 13secs are you Mr Flowers? OK, hit me. Apparently the planet we are inhabiting sounds like an ELO B-side put through a flanger. This is so bad it actually made me feel sorry for them for a minute. They seem to want success so badly and then they curl this one out and mess it all up for themselves.

It basically sums up pretty much how I feel about The Killers in general.
