the killersluts podcast

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.

51: Why Do I Keep Counting?

If all of our episodes are numbered, why do we keep counting? Tune in this week to hear us gush on what we consider to be one of the best songs of all time--Why Do I Keep Counting? In this episode, we discuss the toll of life on tour, wanting impossible answers from a higher power, and Brandon's fear of flying. We also do a lot of singing. (HELP ME GET DOWN, I CAN MAKE IT!)   check out our instagram!

49: Wonderful Wonderful

Dost thou believe thine afflictions hast caused us to grieve? This week, that's what we're unpacking. This episode may be heavier than usual, but there are still plenty of laughs to go around. And if you want to skip us not talking about the song, you'll find that we get down to business about ten minutes in. Sorry, and bless thine mess.   Check us out on Instagram!

48: Get Trashed

In this week's special episode, all three killer sluts are in the same room! Forgive our audio quality because of this fact. In this episode, we come up with a hot new conspiracy theory: Did Brandon conceive Get Trashed almost completely on his own? Here's a spoiler for you since we didn't have our Get Trashed CD on hand--the liner notes point to yes. Brandon's discography as a producer is comprised of the two greatest songs you'll ever hear (Everything Will Be Alright, Btwn Me N U), and this one.   Check out our Instagram!

47: In The Car Outside

This week, we're back in the world of Pressure Machine! More specifically, we're in the car outside.

45: Carry Me Home

This week, we're talking about yet another bonus track! The mourning dove sings with two broken wings, "Carry Me Home is a baller track that deserves more recognition!!" Topics of discussion include: Shmandon from Shmutah, The Desired Effect "pre-crumbs", and the weight of fame. Katie, once again, attempts to break the contract she signed barring her from talking about Neon Tiger too early. It's a silly one.   Check out our Instagram!

37: On Top

This week we're bringing the bump to the grind--ahho, I don't mind--'cause we're on top. This episode is a little silly because how are we supposed to talk about lyrics like "In the back I can't crack we're on top" with a straight face? Sit back and relax as we discuss cigarettes in mouths, handshakes in doorways, and the real star of this week's episode--Rio (2011).   Check out our socials to get in on the action!
