Did we ever put this Shiny Toy Guns video on the front page?

We probably didn't. Well, it was out last week and stormed its way into the Top 95 yesterday evening. Well done everyone.

PAGING SHINY TOY GUNS!
PAGING SHINY TOY GUNS!

Come on you cunts, release 'Rainy Monday'.
We need to see a video NOW. 

In the meantime all we have are some fan videos like this…

…which is quite sweet if, unfor­tu­nately, simply NOT depress­ing enough.

Considering 'Rainy Monday' is complete slit-your-wrists boo-hoo-orama pop genius there can be no happy endings in its video and that is The Law. This other fan video is also far too happy. And while you might think that this one is gloomy enough to be the best YouTube 'Rainy Monday' fan video, you would be wrong because the best one is this.

It is a video love letter to a girl called Moira and things get really good at around the two-minutes-thirty mark at which point it turns into a complete blubathon.
