Well it’s about damn time. Last Thursday, MTV and Cambridge’s own Harmonix announced plans for a Beatles video game in the vein of the tremendously popular “Rock Band?? and “Guitar Hero” games, and I couldn’t be more excited. Not only does this give me a chance to quit trying to five-star “Message in a Bottle” and “My Name is Jonas” on Expert, but the digital premiere of the greatest band...

And those who have followed this group since their formative days of indie hair and the bejeweled synthesizer will appreciate the simplicity in technique that evokes nostalgia for the band??s past endeavors. But that’s just skimming the surface. The Killers wouldn’t be the band they are today without a little quirkiness thrown in for good measure. They’ve already ridden tiny donkeys, fallen in love with courtesans, and pretended...
