75: Uncle Jonny

This week, we're discussing the life and times of Brandon's real-life uncle, who had a song dedicated to him on Sam's Town. Highlights from this episode: a disclaimer from Emma, Jay being gaslit repeatedly, and two rounds of unintentional gaslighting from Katie.   check us out on instagram!

Who Let You Go? We're finally back to form in this shorter episode, analyzing a cute little ditty from Sawdust. A cute ditty, indeed, featuring Brandon singing about his own beautiful eyes and the sound of a woman screaming in the background.   check us out on instagram!

Do you want to listen to us talk about our Thrasher tour experience for over two hours? Boy, do I have the episode for you! If you want to skip to the part where we talk about... meeting Brandon... the timecode is 1:46:00. Next time, we will be back to business as usual with our episode discussing Who Let You Go! check out our instagram!

Welcome back to another nearly incomprehensible episode. In our defense, we were one week away from seeing the Thrasher tour at the time of recording. Today's topic: When The Dreams Run Dry! Tune in for lots of talk about migratory birds, dying, aging, and space. We also discovered our new motto: we're laughing because we're happy. (Thrasher tour recap episode coming soon.) check us out on instagram!

It's finally time to cover a song that we've (probably) been wanting to discuss since episode one: A Crippling Blow. A near-unanimously loved bonus track with hard-to-decipher lyrics, we are simply obsessed with this one. Topics include baroque pop, whatever Brandon is saying in verse two, and a broken promise. Check us out on Instagram!

This week, we're talking about Be Still! We're also spending about 15 minutes talking about Thrasher, the upcoming tour, and revisiting the My Chemical Romance Podcast. But after that, we ask maybe one of the most important questions of the decade: is Be Still a mirror song?* *We don't explain what this means in the episode because we're assuming you're not new around here. A mirror song, in KSP terms, is a song where the "you" in question is Brandon himself, as if he is speaking to himself in a mirror. check us out on instagram!

We hope you enjoy your stay! It's good to have you here with us at the Killersluts Podcast to talk about the capstones for Sam's Town, which means that we get to talk about Sam's Town, and we love Sam's Town! Strap in for our discussion about the origins of these songs, Royal Albert Hall performances, and allusions to Hotel California. check out our Instagram!

We're back to talking about Pressure Machine! This time: Quiet Town. Tune in to hear more train talk, a lot of derailment from us (sorry), seeing Quiet Town live in 2022, and small-town living. check out our instagram!

This week, we intercepted an email sent from Brandon to Bono, which posed the question, "Have all the songs been written?" This episode features some strong opinions. Topics of discussion include: an alternate fan perspective, Mark Knopfler's guitar, and the cohesion of Wonderful Wonderful. check us out on Instagram!

This week we are talking about Joy Ride! This universally loved song off of Day & Age is not universally loved, it turns out. Maybe that was only the case for critics in 2008. Tune in to hear about Joy Ride (Night Version), Brandon's defence of saxophone, and Katie's misunderstanding of the term "rag top." Check us out on Instagram! (Yes, this episode was recorded before all of those announcements about Thrasher. Please stand by.)
