Released on exactly the same day as their album This Machine Kills White People, The Very Long And Very Sad Tale Of Fucko The AIDS Clown is an EP (or just a really short album if that's how you roll) by Worthington, Ohio comedy punk band RAT TRAP. OK, If we're being honest, it's just one really long song. That was totally improvised. And was supposed to be uploaded as one song but Bandcamp said it was too big and when we made it smaller Bandcamp said it was too low quality. So I guess this is just a single stretched over 4 songs.
