|UK Channel Boredom is a song by the rock band
Manic Street Preachers that appears on a 7" flexi-disc given away free with the March1990 edition of a fanzine called "Hopelessly Devoted", which cost fifty pence. 1000 copies were made. It is not an official single, as it is non chart-eligible. Recorded for £25, the song takes its title from the (as yet unsigned) band's first press release, written byRichey Edwards : "...We are the only young kids in UK Channel Boredom to realise the future is in tight trousers, dyed hair and NOT the baggy loose attitude of scum fuck retard zerodom ofMadchester ". Having already gone through a number of title changes (previously it had been called 'Brighton Hotel Rock' and 'Dresden Dance'), the song later reappeared as 'A Vision of Dead Desire', a b-side to the singleYou Love Us , which reached #16 in 1992.Track listing
