physician heal thyself is primarily:
Eric B. - Strings, Keys, Vocal Chords, Brushes, shutters and Lenses.
Lam Yam Ying (Savior of the People) - Hitting Things, Keys, Horns, Found Sounds, Dry Tattoo Needles, Etch -A-Sketch.
Eddie J. - Strings, Continuous Beating, Devices?, Weird Noises, Fetching Coffee, Finger Paints, Crayons, Safety Scissors, Paste.
We work in both visual and aural arts primarily for our own edification, and to deal with boredom.
Eric B. is just a normal, somewhat deluded and neurotic guy with dreams of seizing control of the US to further his Utopian idea of a fascist regime supported by a vast military complex run entirely by midgets. Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
Lam Yam Ying is a folk hero in his native China and is currently working in secret with the zombie remains of the chairman Mao to restore pure communism and thwart the rise of Yankee imperialism. They are also trying desperately to get Lam laid. When not hanging out with his pal Kim Jong-Il trading comic books and killer Martini recipes one can usually find Lam tending to his garden in the killing fields of Cambodia or making the random, peculiar artistic statement with his arch-enemy/nemesis, Eric B.
Eddie J. is a registered witch doctor with several indigenous tribes in New Guinea and Paraguay, he has been known to concoct love potions for local youth although these have been found lately to be nothing more than a mixture of Courvoisier and Rohypnol. It has been suggested on occasion that Eddie J. was directly connected to the plot to kill Bobby Kennedy with Sirhan Sirhan and that he has been hand chosen to be the successor to Sir Graves Ghastly on WKBD, Detroit.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
