the killersluts podcast

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. Connect with us on Instagram!

This is the world (that) we live in! Tune in for gushing about Day & Age, the best album that has ever been made, as well as a live watch of The Killers' third-best music video (according to Katie). And lots of talk about mirrors. We are in KSP "mirror-song" central.  check us out on instagram!

This week, we're back on the street! Whatever that means! We've got another Battle Born to discuss today, and it's a sleeper hit. Tune in for a conversation about MORE infidelity, connections to other songs on the album, and ancient Mesopotamian bowls. check us out on instagram!

This week, we're talking about Rut! We've got some complicated feelings about this song, so strap in for that! These thoughts are too complicated to write a good description!   check us out on instagram!

This week, we wanna know if the answer is no, and if it might be possible to change your mind if it is. What is the question? Brandon doesn't say, but it's probably something really sweet. Tune into this episode to hear some of the drama behind the release of Change Your Mind and the Change Your Mind shirt incident of 2004. check us out on Instagram!

You're looking at the man! In this extra long episode, we gush about our deep love for the subject of The Man, aka, Brandon Flowers circa 2004. This episode features lots of Ronnie quotes (happy 50th bday Ronnie!) and a music video watch-along at the end. Be warned, things get a little crazy   check us out on instagram!

Hard times don't come until tomorrow! This week, we're talking about Move Away. We are all obsessed with this song, which just so happened to be on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. Brandon's got a bad habit of mumbling, especially on this track, so tune in for lots of discussion about what we think he may be saying. check out our Instagram!

In our first episode of the new year, we're in the lightning fields of love! For the first time in KSP history, opinions are kind of split on this song! Tune in to hear our praises and grievances about the song, and then you can decide whose side you're on. check out our instagram!

INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE BRANDON'S INSTAGRAM Q&A WHERE HE COMPLETELY DUNKED ON US AND REVEALED THAT FLAMINGO 3/4 AS WELL AS THE SOLO TOUR ARE HAPPENING IN 2026. SORRY BRANDON. WE DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF THE AWFUL THINGS WE (or our fans) SAID. He also said the Hot Fuss DVD is still happening, so we're sorry about that as well. Happy New Year! Check us out on Instagram!

This week, we decided to reintroduce ourselves because we figured new listeners might check out this episode first. We were absolutely terrible at this, so skip to about 25 or 30 minutes in if you're only here to listen to us talk about Mr. Brightside and not... Spotify Wrapped and fanfiction about ourselves. Anywho, this week we're talking about Mr. Brightside! This is the song that started it all! Tune in to hear us talk about the history of the song, and all the ways that the lyrics ended up being a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy for the life of the band to come. Check out our Instagram (polls for the New Year's episode coming soon!)

This week's episode is completely normal. We're talking about the song All The Pretty Faces, written by The Killers while on the Hot Fuss tour in 2005. We state objective facts about the song with zero bias, and you, as the listener, can draw your own conclusions from those facts. Honestly, the episode is kinda boring, so maybe you can just skip this one. Nothing weird happens. At all. check out our instagram!

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!

For our 50TH EPISODE, we're talking about the title track of the album that returned us to our TK phase. Tune in for talk about big things vs small things, Brandon's falsetto, and the real-life story about a mattress on a hardwood floor. Check out our Instagram!

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!

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!

This week, we're back in the world of Pressure Machine! More specifically, we're in the car outside. We talk about the familial relationship between the characters of this song, and the reasons why our narrator might feel compelled to "lend" a "hand" to his flickering high school flame.   Check out our Instagram!

One year after Hot Fuss 20 and the release of Bright Lights, we look back to reflect on that song. Tune in to hear some reminiscing about our trip to Vegas last year, the Caesars Palace residency, and most importantly: Bright Lights, the song made to commemorate the occasion.   Check out our Instagram!

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!

This week, we're getting our hair cut. We're getting our money on straight. We're getting our heads right. We're remembering who our friends are, and all that shit. If you listen to this episode, you might learn how to do the same.   Check out our Instagram!

This week, we want you here with us! We're discussing Here With Me, a song that may now have a cult following after years of being put down for being too sappy. Katie and Jay discuss the power of an '80s rock ballad while Emma shares her complicated history with the song.   follow us on Instagram!

This week, we're talking about BOOOOONEEEEEEES. If you weren't aware, this song is kinda dirty. Topics include SEX, RELIGIOUS GUILT, and RONNIE'S JIANS (you'll have to make it to the end of the episode to understand that last one). Check out our Instagram!

In this possibly controversial episode, we share our love for C'est La Vie. Open your hearts and realize that there is dignity in calloused hands, the tools you have are not for sale, and sometimes you're the hammer--and sometimes, you're the nail.   Follow us on Instagram! 

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.   Check us out on Instagram to get in on the action! New to the show?

This week, we are breathing in the blowback. Tune in to hear conversation about our favorite tic-tac flavors, similarities to an Emily Dickinson poem, and the band's relationship with the concept of white trash.  check out our Instagram!

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!

This week, we're saying goodnight! Tonight's bedtime story is about grief and loss as we explore the song Goodnight, Travel Well. In this episode, there's lots of discussion about Brandon's tendency to steal lyrics when working under pressure, space as a metaphor for the afterlife, and just death in general. This episode is 99% death, but we try our best to make it lighthearted. Enjoy! Check out our linktree!

The weight has been lifted! This week we're talking about My God, a fan-favorite track off of Imploding the Mirage. In this episode, Emma learns what a fretless bass is, we talk about mirages (metaphorical and literal), and we share an interpretation of the lyrics that was definitely not Brandon's intention when he wrote the song.   Get in on the action by following us on Instagram!

We're imagining another life this week. Where would we be without Pressure Machine? Luckily, we don't have to think of that because we're talking about In Another Life!

This week, we are discussing the fan favorite, Sweet Talk! This is a long episode because there is a lot to talk about. Tune in and get comfy as we discuss religious imagery, more lyric debates, and all the reasons so many people love Sweet Talk.   check out our Instagram and get in on the action!

Welcome back to the show! This week, we are talking about a common myth concerning For Reasons Unknown (at least, a myth as far as we can tell) and what we think the song is actually about. We also discuss Brandon on bass (obviously) and watch the music video together. Strap in! Don't forget to leave a comment to let us know what YOU think! follow us on Instagram to get in on the action!

Despite us trying to get straight to the point, we've got another long episode for you this week. That's because we are talking about This River is Wild! Everyone at KSP adores this song. We discuss the real-world counterparts of things mentioned in the lyrics, the emotion behind the song's meaning, and even throw a lyric debate in at the end for good measure.    check out our linktree!

This week, we're leaving the bourbon on the shelf. Tune in to hear us talk about elementary school for the first ten minutes (I'm telling you so you can skip it if you want I don't judge), the ill-fated murder trilogy movie, and how good it sounds when Brandon croons "Oh, Jennifeeeeeer."   check out our linktree!

In this episode, we're taking things slow. You know, dreams aren't what they used to be. Some things slide by so carelessly. We need to be present in the moment and not worry too much about the past or the future. Jay, Katie, and Emma take a seat at the table of life and hear someone calling their names from the back of the restaurant. If you couldn't tell, this is a silly one. check out our linktree!

Skip to 20 minutes in if you want to avoid our yapping about Hot Fuss 20. Otherwise, this week we are talking about Tranquilize! It's the underappreciated lead single off of Sawdust that we all love, and judging by the runtime, we had a lot to say.   check out our linktree!

In our last episode pre-Hot Fuss 20, peace of mind is actually very hard to find. Tune in to hear us reminisce about 2016 and discuss the religious themes of this song and how it fits into Sam's Town as a whole. Enjoy!   check out our linktree!

It's time to bunker down and figure out if Cody actually started the fire. In this episode, we discuss more of Pressure Machine's themes and how it fits in with the rest of the album.

This week, we're out of our minds for Out Of My Mind! After nineteen episodes, we tackle our first song off Wonderful Wonderful, so we take a moment to discuss what we were all doing in 2017. Once that's out of the way, topics include Paul McCartney, Juliet Capulet, and The Man himself.  check out our linktree!

Eighteen episodes in, we finally get to talk about Sam's Town. Emma struggled with the weight of this task but we persevered. Topics of discussion include main street (what did you expect?), the desire to escape the place you're stuck in, and the overall meaning of Sam's Town. This episode is extra long because we got to talk to our friend Sam about her favorite song!   check out our linktree!
