Dear Brandon Flowers

  • July 7, 2010
  • Popjustice

YES we still enjoy a lot of your output as cha­ris­matic frontman of The Kilers and YES your new single is sort of alright after a few listens and YES it is probably the case that your forth­com­ing albumular release 'Flamingo' contains a variety of listen­able tunes but please — oh God please — if you want people to 'like' you on Facebook just ask them to like you, rather than dis­guising the whole 'like' thing in some sort of artwork-unveiling mechanism. 

The thing is Brandon you're not an unlike­able chap. Your fans, meanwhile, are reas­on­able people. Just ask us to like you. Don't trick us into liking you. Ask us to like you, and know that we like you not because we are inter­ested in seeing some artwork, but because we genuinely do like you. Those likes will be so much more important to you.

JUST AN IDEA.
