Hot Fuss
The Killers strike a pose for the February 2005 “Next Big Thing” issue of Spin. Brandon looks like a cross between Morrissey and Pee Wee Herman. We miss his longer hair.
In more Killer news, they will be appearing on SNL this weekend (with Topher Grace as host) and TRL on Tuesday, January 18th.
If you notice, The Killers are an extremely pale band. That made us recall all the other covers of Spin magazine over the last few years. Does Spin have a vendetta against tan people? The White Stripes, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Moz, Eminem, Greenday, Franz Ferdiand…they’ve all appeared on the cover of the mag, and they’re all as pale as f-ck. Could Spin be the most white-washed (literally) music magazine in America? Is Vibe given the only allotment of color for covers in the house of Vibe/Spin Ventures?
Please guys, let’s get some self-tanner going on over there. You’re eerily starting to look like a monthly digest of NME.

I just always assumed Spin was run by neo-confederate racists who hate people of color.
