Destiny is calling us to discuss the making of an unforgettable jam you’ve heard at countless weddings, karaoke bars, and sporting events. So open up your eager eyes (and ears)! On this episode of One Song, Diallo and LUXXURY break down The Killers’ 2003 hit, “Mr. Brightside.” They discuss where frontman Brandon Flowers drew inspiration to write this song (i.e.: Oasis, U2, and a bout of infidelity), why it’s become a catchy millennial anthem, how The Killers became one of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century.

On this episode read some posts from the Rock and Roll Geek Show Facebook Group and it leads to some rock talk.

From Ben: I fly solo for this interview with Mindy Smith. I could have used Wayne to tell me that my microphone wasn't working properly (it might be time for a new laptop). Mindy and I talk about her excellent new album "Quiet Town" and other topics like being Geminis, Neilson Hubbard (who produced "Quiet Town"), Susan Ashton, writing sad songs, reading the comments, breaking the rules (and how it paid off).  I love her picks for 5 favorite albums including The Sundays and another guest talks about "Poses" from Rufus Wainwright!Songs include (from "Quiet Town" unless otherwise noted):JerichoEvery Once in a WhileOne Moment More (from debut titled "One Moment More")What Love Can Do (from "Stupid Love")Something To Write in StoneCheck out Mindy's happenings at:  https://mindysmithmusic.com/Check out other episodes at RecordsRevisitedPodcast.com or one all your favorite podcast providers like Apple Podcasts, Castbox, iHeartMedia, and Spotify.
