George Washington Eagle Mask

from Mr Smith Goes to Washington

(This might be kind of cool to make.  Start with molds of kitschy eagle and Washington's face obtained at local hobby store.  I'm thinking the face could be like purple latex rubber, and the eagle made out of injected styrofoam.)

Here's the whole collage on YouTube

Emergency Broadcast Network: Live show and some videos

Our main feature tonight, a one-hour Austrian TV program that's mostly a live show.

STAY TUNED presents TV or Not TV starring EBN

And a couple videos that were also in the show:
The eerily beautiful and haunting 378 (conga!)
and the manic Electronic Behavior Control System.
(Not only are the collages incredible, they also rock.)

Unintentional TV cut and paste

I'm amazed at stuff like this.  Most of it's lost.  Someone saved this one, Radio God bless 'em.

Fred Katz, The Wasp Woman and Frank Zappa

(2:01)  Roger Corman's 1959 The Wasp Woman with soundtrack by Fred Katz.  (And no, unfortunately, she never turned into a giant wasp with great makeup-- doesn't she just look like a monstrous insect who's also a cosmetics tycoon?)

I recognized Fred from his work with Ken Nordine, but he had a long career doing a lot of other things, including teaching.  This music accompanies a montage of a police search.  (See if it sounds like anything else you might have heard.  Zappa could have called it "Variations on a Theme by Fred Katz.")

Kinky Turtle: Mary Worth

What do you think about this cutup idea-- extra content:

I like the simplicity.  And it doesn't have to be a perfect copy of the original-- obviously, it was drawn by someone else.  But for sheer silliness-- I mean, the guy in the second panel does have a fish on his head, and, yes, it is attached-- and the brilliant thought of tacking on, in effect, a punchline panel, it's a nice little piece of work.  Thanks, Kinky Turtle!
