Answer: Amazingly enough, the video for “A Great Big Sled,” a song recently released by The Killers as a very special (and very catchy) holiday charity single. The song manages to combine everything about the band that we know and hate and love, building on the band’s pseudo-post-punk sound to incorporate a totally ass-kicking new component—sleigh bells...
...song that can do that and still allow you to rock out is definitely worthy of becoming a holiday classic. Lead singer Brandon Flowers is in top form, maintaining the band’s characteristic ’80s rock feel, backgrounding the fact that this is a Christmas song. Until, that is, you see the video...
...think not. That appears to be the entire premise for the production, so don’t expect any character development or thinly disguised Moulin Rouge references as in other Killers music videos. You shouldn’t expect anything beyond cheesy costumes and fuzzy shots of randomly assorted holiday decorations, which is quite a relief in light of the band’s previous, overwrought videos...
...purpose. The band is donating all proceeds from the song obtained from iTunes downloads to supporting those suffering from AIDS in Africa, a fact made clear in the closing shot of the video which refers the viewer to the appropriate website. Good song, good cause: sounds like the perfect holiday gift...
...schedule doesn’t get any easier after that. Over the winter vacation, the Crimson will travel to the Wolverine State to participate in the Great Lakes Invitational, a prominent holiday tournament at the Detroit Red Wings’ Joe Louis Arena. Harvard will face No. 14 Michigan State on Dec. 29 before potentially taking on No. 10 Michigan in the next round...
