In this possibly controversial episode, we share our love for C'est La Vie. Open your hearts and realize that there is dignity in calloused hands, the tools you have are not for sale, and sometimes you're the hammer--and sometimes, you're the nail.   Follow us on Instagram! 

Katie, Emma, and Jay have been listening to The Killers since they were little—members of the first generation to truly grow up with the band. Now in their twenties, these three ladies have found that the love they hold for their favorite band has only grown over time. On the Killersluts Podcast, they take a look at the band’s discography to analyze the music and lyrical content while considering...

Can it be the way it was? This week, we try to figure it out. There's lots of discussion about Elvis, county lines, and the relationship between our narrator and their darlin'. Plus, Emma and Katie recap their experience at RiverBeat Music Fest.    Check us out on Instagram!

This week we're bringing the bump to the grind--ahho, I don't mind--'cause we're on top. This episode is a little silly because how are we supposed to talk about lyrics like "In the back I can't crack we're on top" with a straight face? Sit back and relax as we discuss cigarettes in mouths, handshakes in doorways, and the real star of this week's episode--Rio (2011).   Check out our socials to get...

This week, we're saying goodnight! Tonight's bedtime story is about grief and loss as we explore the song Goodnight, Travel Well. In this episode, there's lots of discussion about Brandon's tendency to steal lyrics when working under pressure, space as a metaphor for the afterlife, and just death in general. This episode is 99% death, but we try our best to make it lighthearted. Enjoy! Check out o...

The weight has been lifted! This week we're talking about My God, a fan-favorite track off of Imploding the Mirage. In this episode, Emma learns what a fretless bass is, we talk about mirages (metaphorical and literal), and we share an interpretation of the lyrics that was definitely not Brandon's intention when he wrote the song.   Get in on the action by following us on Instagram!

We're imagining another life this week. Where would we be without Pressure Machine? Luckily, we don't have to think of that because we're talking about In Another Life!

Despite us trying to get straight to the point, we've got another long episode for you this week. That's because we are talking about This River is Wild! Everyone at KSP adores this song. We discuss the real-world counterparts of things mentioned in the lyrics, the emotion behind the song's meaning, and even throw a lyric debate in at the end for good measure.    check out our linktree!

This week, we're leaving the bourbon on the shelf. Tune in to hear us talk about elementary school for the first ten minutes (I'm telling you so you can skip it if you want I don't judge), the ill-fated murder trilogy movie, and how good it sounds when Brandon croons "Oh, Jennifeeeeeer."   check out our linktree!

In this episode, we're taking things slow. You know, dreams aren't what they used to be. Some things slide by so carelessly. We need to be present in the moment and not worry too much about the past or the future. Jay, Katie, and Emma take a seat at the table of life and hear someone calling their names from the back of the restaurant. If you couldn't tell, this is a silly one. check out our linkt...

Skip to 20 minutes in if you want to avoid our yapping about Hot Fuss 20. Otherwise, this week we are talking about Tranquilize! It's the underappreciated lead single off of Sawdust that we all love, and judging by the runtime, we had a lot to say.   check out our linktree!

This week, we're out of our minds for Out Of My Mind! After nineteen episodes, we tackle our first song off Wonderful Wonderful, so we take a moment to discuss what we were all doing in 2017. Once that's out of the way, topics include Paul McCartney, Juliet Capulet, and The Man himself.  check out our linktree!

Eighteen episodes in, we finally get to talk about Sam's Town. Emma struggled with the weight of this task but we persevered.
