I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS

BRING BACK THE REAL KING OF TRASH VIDEO
SUCH MASTERFUL WORKS SHOULD NOT JUST BE "removed" DAMMIT

friends,
if you will recall the last time i wrote you, it was in distress as i had been informed that the music video for "king of trash" was not available anywhere for viewing.
i'm quite happy to inform you with the following update: we have located a replacement.

just an unofficial upload, but reasonably good quality. fantastic. one of my favorite song+video combos of all time. if there was allowed to be "good fake bowie" in the 70s that gets remembered, surely by the 90s i'm allowed to appreciate "self-consciously ironic fake morrissey." i love this song. those first three albums are so satisfying (+all three are personal classics).
wild, I am a huge Virgin Prunes fan but have heard almost none of GF's later work
worth noting that there is a Virgin Prunes song called "King Of Junk" from circa 1985 iirc?
