This here bit of showmanship is culled from The Killers' forthcoming (November 10th, to be exact) live DVD, The Killers: Live From Royal Albert Hall.

RAH is obviously a gorgeous, classy venue. Lead Killer Brandon Flowers does his best to de-flower-the-joint schtick in his pre-song banter, asking if the crowd if they're ready to "receive" their Sam's Town hit, "When You Were Young," as hard as they're going to give it to them. Naughty Mormon!

It's actually a dazzling performance from a band that's clearly feeling the energy, not only from the crowd, but from the hallowed halls of Royal Albert. Check out The Killers' live performance and the music video below.

Hot Chelle Rae is a people-pleasing endeavor so enamored with their female fans that they named their band after two of them. They're a Nashville quartet --  led by singer Ryan Keith Follese -- that make populist pop-rock with pristine production values and combine dance-y, sultry modern rock of The Cab and The Killers with the wide-screen production of bands like Queen or Journey.

Tracks like "I Like To Dance" (listen to it on their MySpace) are a perfect example of their appeal; raunchy guitars, huger-than-huge drums, even bigger chorus and come-on-lets-do-it-already lyrics. It ain't hard to see what Stephanie Pratt sees in them. Or what they see in Stephanie -- she makes a cameo in the video for "I Like To Dance."

Stay tuned for Hot Chelle Rae's Lovesick Electric, which hits stores Tuesday, Oct. 27!

The same West London scene that gave birth to Lily Allen, The Clash and pretty much everything British in between (not to mention Ealing, the hometown of Pete Townshend of The Who), has spit out another brilliant band of new-wave shoegazers called White Lies.

Formerly called Fear Of Flying, White Lies is made up of Harry McVeigh (vox, guitar), Charles Cave (bass) and Jack Lawrence-Brown (drums). The moody Brits have already been compared to The Killers, Interpol, Editors and others, but they name Talking Heads as their major influence. Despite all that, their nouveau '80s sound evokes adjectives more than it does band names. Adjectives like "spooky," "haunting" and "sinister." Like the soundtrack to a Donnie Darko sequel with vampires in it. And apparently we're not the only ones who think so, because White Lies just popped up on the massive and amazing Coachella schedule. Know what that means? It means start listening to White Lies NOW before you're officially the last to hear of them. Watch the video for "Death" below!

+ White Lies' self-titled major label debut is out March 23 on The Cure's Fiction Records (home of Kate Nash, Snow Patrol and Yeah Yeah Yeahs).

+ Sarcastic songstress Lily Allen says she's considering joining a nunnery! But her motives are sliiiiiightly less than pure: "I wouldn't do it for Jesus," Allen clarifies. "I would do it to see tabloid gossip people have zero to write about." (NY Post)

+ Meanwhile, fellow Brit Amy Winehouse was robbed! The singer reportedly lost $21,000 worth of property when her house was burglarized. Hmm, wonder how the perps knew she'd be out... (E! Online)

+ And in other Winehouse-related news, Amy (first name "If You Seek") will join The Killers and Franz Ferdinand in headlining Coachella! That is, assuming she doesn't miss her return flight/drink herself into oblivion first. (MTV News)

+ Taylor Swift is getting set to headline her own tour starting this April. Because that's what happens when you've had the #1 album for 8 WEEKS AND COUNTING. (MTV News)

+ Boozy beehiver Amy Winehouse reportedly checked into a hospital over the weekend. According to her publicist, Amy is currently undergoing tests for a "chest infection." Also surprising: Amy Winehouse has a publicist. And lungs. (E! Online)

+ 50 Cent describes fellow rapper Kanye West as his "opposite." For the record, we would've gone with Kenny G. (MTV News)

+ Meanwhile, The Opposite of Fiddy (a.k.a Kanye) swears he was NOT responsible for leaking his new/unfinished track. "I DID NOT LEAK ROBOCOP!!!" writes Ye in his understated all-caps fashion. "I’M PRETTY UPSET ABOUT IT BUT THAT’S THE WAY LIFE IS SOMETIMES!" Truer words were never ranted... (MTV News)

The question of whether we're human or dancers or denser (for a minute there we almost had the great pop music groupies/ boobies debate/ debacle of Q4!) is second only to the following question: why the hull is Brandon Flowers so into feathers these days? Still, the Panic At the Disco-meets-Cirque de Soleil look is blowing my mind. Mainly because it feels like while Brendon Urie's just playing dress-up, Brandon Flowers actually means it.

Watch The Killers' new video, "Human." Onward, ye existential soldiers!
