Description

In summer 2004, a hot new group of 20-something anglophiles dropped an album that became an instant classic. That band was the Killers, and the album, Hot Fuss. What inspired its opening track? What did it have to do with the 1986 Central Park "Preppy" murder? Who is the real Jenny? And how many songs were written about her? We've got the deets, this week as we revisit one of the best breakout albums we care to remember.
