See the Best Album of the Past 20 Years Performed Live, This Friday!

Above (right below the sarcastic subject line) is a clip of The Killers performing their, in our opinion, boring new single at the VMA's this year. We admit to enjoying most of the songs off of their last album, "Hot Fuss", but even if Brandon Flowers says this new one is "one of the best albums of the past 20 years", we still aren't rushing to buy tickets to their "secret show" at Webster Hall this Friday. Apparently no one else is either, tickets are still on sale!

Jackson - YOUR a terrible reader.

Har. Har. Har.

Yes. I saw that right as I hit post. Unfortunate.

what i think is funny is that no one has caught on that it is "you are" or "you're" not "your"

that's what the original (jeff's) joke was and what everyone has been commenting on.

Joe

Wow, that is funny! Thanks for pointing it out, Jackson!

jeff, i think busted tees made a "YOUR RETARDED" t-shirt - they probably still do. although it's better as "YOUR A TERRIBLE WRITER". ha!

nick

best. comment. thread. ever?

Guy

...but then the actual ironic joke would be gone.

The original still stands:

"Your a terrible writer."

Classic!

I want a t-shirt that says, "Some guy on Gothamist said I was a terrible writer."

unless i'm mistaken, the person who posted this was poking fun at the lead singer (who is the person who said its the best album of the last 20 years) not a reviewer...

it is a pretty cocky thing for someone to say about their own album. but hot fuss was very catchy (if poorly written lyrics) and ill be seeing the 'secret show'...thanks for the tip.

Jeff

"Your a terrible writer"

Amazing. I want that on a t-shirt.

PleaseShutUp

Your a terrible writer. Why would you waste time posting a clip of a "boring" single? Is it just so you could have a chance to take a dig at another reviewer. If you're going to do that, you should at least contribute something intelligent to the discussion you are trying to have.
