You still have time to get your pre-order in for Brandon Flowers' debut solo album, Flamingo, before it is released early next month.

Brandon & Co. are offering up some special packaging to eager audiophiles and those with a little cash to roll the dice on. It's not much of a gamble, because from what we've heard so far, Flamingo is a sure-thing.

The least expensive U.S. pre-order package is available for $24.99 and includes a Deluxe version of Flamingo and pretty sweet 10" picture disc 33.3 LP of "Crossfire." The "super deluxe bundle" tops out at $124.99 before s&h and includes the full length, deluxe edition Flamingo LP, "Crossfire" 10" Picture Disc, a hand signed Limited Edition Las Vegas Lithograph (but they don't say whose hand signed it Sweet! The store now says it's signed by 'Brandon.' Hopefully it's not a staffer by the same name. Ha!), a Brandon Flowers Diamond t-shirt, and an instant gratification MP3 download of the lead single, "Crossfire" which most of you should already have. A lighter full selection is (also) available for folks in the other areas of our fine globe.

You can grab your own bag of goodies at the BFWS

Click past the break to see the full Flamingo track list and for the official "Crossfire" video which includes special guest appearances from a certain bunch of ninjas and none-other-than Charlize Theron.

   It has been awhile since an album has really excited me like Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club. I have been listening to this album now for a week straight. This album is a great mixture of the Retro disco pop and modern electronical pop.

And the award for most experimental rock band goes to...The Flaming Lips.

If there was an award for experimental rock, the flaming lips would hands down take the award. No fear. No desire to do what mainstream music does. From Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, At War With the Mystics, The Soft Bulletin and even their earlier stuff like Hit to Death in the Future Head and Zaireeka their music transcends time and space.
