Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, psychiatry professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, lived every day with the mania and severe depression that she had studied for years. She talks openly of the challenges she faced with the treatment and disclosure of her mental illness.
The instrumental "Manic Depression" by the wonderful and talented Emilie Autumn. :) Since instrumentals obviously have no lyrics, and because it is against my principles to simply create a slideshow, I've been playing around with what kind of video I want to accompany the instrumentals. Let me know what you think.

First video with Steven Wells as partner in GOBTV. There were loads of interesting and fun ideas for this video that Sony gradually knocked on the head. Then the band said they didn't want to be in it (Bored with videos). So there was just James, and we got a bunch of Manics fans who had their own band, the Dead End Dolls to be the Manics....better looking I reckon. Especially the red head in the secretary glasses.
Traci Lords was unavailable, so we got model Blanche to lipsync her bit. Lots of high school political gestures in this vid...most of which you'd never see as they are slogans on the backdrop, and also on the kids' T shirts. "Keep Warm, Make Trouble" was my fave.
Anyway, Swells wrote a very funny piece about making this vidfor the Guardian. http://www.thisisyesterday.com/ints/shoot.html
