Q: The New Moon soundtrack is ruling the charts. How did the Killers get involved -- and were you worried about contributing to a movie targeted at 'tweens?
Ronnie: Music coordinator Alexandra Patsavas really has her shit together, and it was a great lineup. She had some really great ideas. Before any of this happened, we got to meet with the director, Chris Weitz, and he's fully aware of what's going on and he wanted to surround the film with good music so it wasn't about 11-year-old girls. And, if it is, at least you're giving them some good music to listen to.... Movies and soundtracks are good ways to get your music out there [to new fans], as long as you're surrounded by good people.

Q Magazine (October 2010): [...] That year Flowers's parents allowed him to leave home for that of his Aunt Joyce back in Vegas where Shane's musical influence would be matched by the one person Brandon still believes "shaped my life and made music possible". Fellow Smiths apostle Trevor Gagner was a film student who shared Flowers's love of all things British and indie enough to temp fate by suggesting they start a band. "Which was ludicrous to me", laughs Flowers. "It seemed so far-fetched. But we did. We weren't great, we were just learning. But Trevor made it happen. He was my best friend."
What happened to Trevor?
"He's in Washington, DC. He won't talk to me", he sighs. "You'd think it would be the other way around. The quintessential asshole guy who gets big and then doesn't talk to his old friends, right? He's upset about something, maybe things I've said about our first band [Blush Response] and the music we were making. But none of us were great back then. I definitely wasn't. I love Trevor. It's upsetting to me that now I can't talk to him."

"He met his wife, Tana Mundkowsky, in a vintage clothing store. “Me and Dave were looking for sweet duds for the first Killers show. She was shopping at the same time. I think we were the only ones in the store. She gave me her phone number.” He flashes a quick smile. “She was a brave woman."
