Brandon Flowers tackles the Time Out New York "Hot Seat" in an interview that delves into cigarettes, Morrissey, gambling and the now long lost infamous mustache.
He also discusses the day he got the news that a junior Flowers was on the way:
I’m a bigger New Order fan than Joy Division fan; I also prefer
Morrissey to the Smiths, which I guess is also sacrilegious. I have a
good New Order story: I was driving with Bernard Sumner in
Manchester—which was totally surreal—when my wife called me and told me
that we were having our baby. So that’ll be a cool story for my son
when he’s older.

In related Killers news, Drummer Ronnie Vannucci tells Q Magazine that the band's next album will be a collection of covers. Apparently each member of the band will choose three tracks. The Killers have fashioned some great covers in their time. Among our favorites -
Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself (Morrissey) - Listen
Shadowplay (Joy Division) - Listen
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper) - Live, Listen
Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town (Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, Waylon Jennings, etc...) - Listen
The band also got their Mad Max on recently in the Nevada desert for Q. check out Q's Killers mini-site featuring behind the scenes images from the shoot. A behind the scenes video will be released soon as well. Flowers graces the cover of the new issue below:
fyi: all the audio links are malformed (ie, no workie.)

It's way too early for them to do a covers album. they already have one compilation and only two albums, write some more songs!
p.s.
his hair on the Q cover kinda looks like Kid N Play.
