The S.S. jetted to London for this issue’s interview with Kanye West. After his set at the V Fest in Staffordshire, Kanye and the S.S. hopped in a Mercedes for a three-hour drive to the equally muddy V Fest in Chelmsford (check out West’s sneaker protection) to catch the Killers. “They’re my absolute favorite band,” said Kanye. Days later, in New York, we caught up with Brandon Flowers at Sears Sound. “Kanye is amazing,” a flattered Flowers responds. “I can’t wait to hear his new stuff.” In the studio we witnessed Flowers and Lou Reed put the finishing touches on a sick new tune called “Tranquilize,” which will be featured on Sawdust, the Killers’ compilation of outtakes, B sides, remixes and covers (like one of Dire Straits’ “Romeo and Juliet”), out in November. “I was a big fan of the Smiths’ Hatful of Hollow and Oasis’ The Masterplan, so it’s nice to put all this stuff into one package,” says Flowers. After a well-deserved rest, the Killers will kick-start their third studio album in January back home in Vegas.
