Following a gorgeous solo effort, gay-friendly Brandon Flowers returns to front seminal new millennium outfit The Killers in the group's long awaited forthcoming release, Battle Born.

We get our first taste of Battle with "Runaways," a single that should do well on the summer charts dominated by alt-synth infectious tunes like Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" and fun.'s "We Are Young."

Listen after the jump and let us know if you heart or hate the new single from The Killers in the comments!

Sometimes it seems like Prop. 8 managed to create a lasting divide between the gay community and Mormons, and because of that, Brandon Flowers video about his faith may create mix feelings for some. Watch the video and weigh in after the jump.

Almost as anticipated as the event itself, the announcement day of Coachella's lineup has finally arrived featuring plenty of gaydored acts crowded on the music festival's roster. Notable Instinct favorites like Robyn, Scissor Sisters, Brandon Flowers, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Kings of Leon, The Chemical Brothers, Chromeo and PJ Harvey catch our eyes first, while more obscure cult hits like Crystal Castles, Boys Noize, Sleigh Bells, The Presets round out the list with dozens of others. 

As in the past, expect even more exciting acts to be added to the already incredible lineup. Do you think Coachella got it right this year? Will you plan to head to the event based on this lineup? 

As ya'll know, we have a hard spot for cutie-patootie Brandon Flowers, and can't stop watching his new lush music video for "Crossfire," featuring a cameo by Charlize Theron.

Heart it or hate it, Instincters?
