The Enduring Appeal of “Mr. Brightside”

For roughly two weeks toward the end of this coming August, The Killers will be planting stakes in their hometown of Las Vegas for a condensed residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Announced at the beginning of the year as a means of celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s breakthrough debut Hot Fuss, the shows will feature the group performing the album from start to finish for the first time.

While those able to land tickets to these exclusive shows will undoubtedly look forward to hearing beloved tracks such as “Somebody Told Me” and “All These Things That I’ve Done,” in their original sequence, it will be early on in the band’s set — somewhere around the four-minute mark — that the audience will erupt perhaps to its loudest levels of enthusiasm, triggered by Dave Keuning’s now infamous arpeggio-ed riff for “Mr. Brightside.”

Twenty years after the fact, “Mr. Brightside” remains one of those songs, a piece of pop music with a staying power — if not outright growth in popularity — that seems inexplicable and yet entirely warranted.

The Balvenie Embraces Sherry in Its Latest Stories Release

What we’re drinking: The Balvenie Stories: A Revelation of Cask and Character

Where it’s from: Based in Speyside, The Balvanie launched in 1892 and is one of three remaining family-owned whisky distilleries in Scotland. They pretty much do everything on-site, from growing their own barely to traditional floor maltings to crafting their own barrels, and they base their liquid around a concept of the “five rare crafts.”

Doxa Finally Delivers the Goldilocks Dive Watch

Over the years, Doxa has released numerous iterations of its cushion-cased diver — in chronograph form, in souped-up form with more water resistance, in thinner form with less water resistance. But its bread and butter, the Sub 300, has always been its signature product, and an icon of dive watch design. The only issue with it, as far as some were concerned, was its 42.5mm width — this, combined with the profile of the cushion case, makes it wear rather large on the wrist, which is unwelcome for shorter guys or for the smaller-wristed. And while the brand did deliver a pared-down version in the form of the Sub 200, this watch still measured 42mm. What if Doxa could simply slim down the Sub 300? That's exactly what it did.
