Reposted on: 18.10.11 1529.02 | Ooh, he's been upgraded. That is great news.
Two of my all-time favorite videos are his "I Feel Love" with Bronski Beat, which is Benny Hill meets Tom of Finland and the most fabulously gay video ever, and Coil's cover of "Tainted Love" in which he makes a very sexxxy appearance as hmm, Death.
I tried to find "I Feel Love" online but sadly no dice. I did find the second one (brainwashed.com) which TOTALLY messed me up as a teen watching my beloved "Night Flight." It's not terribly appropriate considering Almond's current situation but it's an amazing clip (directed by Peter Christopherson) that is worth checking out/revisiting if you're a music video aficionado. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
