Love Exhumes the Prunes

It was an event I really meant to go to, but circumstances didn't allow it. For a start, it was wicked expensive. Secondly, I had a few other things cooking that weekend, and I just can't be everywhere at once. As such, I missed the evening at Carnegie Hall with Gavin Friday "& friends" (U2, Foetus, Lou Reed & a host of others). I've been a hardcore Gavin Friday fan for some time, and now that I see the set list of the show, I'm quite bummed I wasn't able to attend. More shockingly, though, it seems that Gavin fleetingly resurrected the Virgin Prunes for the event. This is what really got me. As I've stated elsewhere on this weblog, I'm a big fan of the Virgin Prunes.

I was less thrilled to learn, though, that they were introduced by another of their great fans. Turns out that Courtney Love – who sucks, by the way – handled their introduction. I don't like Courtney Love. At all. I'd go as far as to say that I dislike her about as much as I like the Virgin Prunes. Which is considerable. Anyway, click here to read what she had to say.

Below, meanwhile, is one of my favorite, harrowing Virgin Prunes tracks. Just in time for Halloween, no less.
