A music collage video about madness. This is a syntopical commentary, and expansive deconstruction of Billy Joel's song 'You May Be Right' (I May Be Crazy) in regards to Billy Joel's bipolar condition. Leitmotifs include: Bipolar as madness, madness as flight, the flight and fall of Icarus in Greek Mythology, madness as entertainment as evidenced through various cinematic psychopathic villains represented herein. Madness as escape. Madness as creativity, madness as destruction. Madness as strength. Madness ultimately as source, and the choice, of positive celebration. (Trivia Note - Phinny is actually singing the vocals on the audio track of this video, not Billy Joel).

A video collage for our audio collage featuring at least a dozen different versions of The Beatles' "I Am the Walrus" in the audio portion alone. The concept, as it came out, is what goes through a Beatles' fans head in the moment she gasps with delight while watching from the audience of The Ed Sullivan Show. Caught in a momentary time warp, she has a psychedelic vision of the future. Special appearance by J.R. "Bob" Dobbs of the Church of the Subgenius.

Smothered in secret sauce and served with a nice Chianti, this is the second of two parts of 'Pets or Meat' a collage show about animals and food. Abstract mash-ups of various songs, some collage pieces by NCN, comedy, Ronald's Cracklin' Burgers, and novelty song clips. Also includes an extended clip from Negativland's Over the Edge show 'Eat This!' featuring Phineas Narco, Das from BCO, Don Joyce of Negativland and Otis Fodder from the Bran Flakes.
