Here one knows the video to the song "NEXT one in NOC-does gymnastics itself" to look at. Direction led Joni DeRouchie. The TRACK is on the current output of the Americans, "Vanity Is A Virtue" to find. {Google translation of a German press release)
What I've been Up To!

Frequently asked question: "What exciting projects are you working on now, Joni?"
The answer: Well, I'm not making a damn Wonderstucks video, that's for sure.
Most of my leisure time is about to be sucked up by my new side gig: co-producer and editor of Miles Around TV for the gregarious Dennis Pittsenbarger.
Eventually, another video for Nicodemus , and continuing to work for Babygirl Boutique and Miles Around Radio/TV.
And of course, Rick and I are always working to get Bigger Than Jesus: The Diary of a Rock & Roll Fan into the homes, hearts, and DVD players of as many suckers.. er... music fans as possible!

Fun Facts!
There's a more detailed (and terribly dull) bio on my Blog. To summarize: I make films -- both long and short, music videos, teevee, and stuff like that. Sometimes I do photography.
I've been blessed to work with many amazing, talented folks, including but not limited to..
♥ Christopher Morris : Muse, Boy Toy, Second-Tier Famous prog metal nerd.
♥ Rick Emerson : Workaholic, punctuation Nazi, guy who taught me to Write in Threes (I'm using the serial comma lest I summon his rage.. even though only tools use serial commas).
♥ Nate Baker : Broadcast professional, happy drunk.
♥ Sigfried Seeliger: Lighting guru, keeper of heads in freezers.
♥ Marey Ryan: Tireless beauty, wields a mighty blush brush.
♥ Jairus Minsky : A fine Art Director in his own right.
♥ The BTJ House Band: Finest group of rock gods money can't buy.
♥ Edward Morris: Poet, Sci-Fi author, torch-bearer of Gonzo and Beat.

My Interests

Metal boys, geeks, ranters, trailer parks, fauvism, bleak movies, learning new stuff, pondering what I did to deserve such a magnificently sexy boyfriend, arguing the Oxford comma, accordions, sleazy motels, making music videos, kitties, WWE, beautiful girls with visible emotional scars, pondering what I did to deserve such a nightmarishly contrary boyfriend.

I'd like to meet:


Beautiful models. Talented actors. Musicians. Theater nerds. Drama fags. Muses and Pretty Things of all shapes and sizes. Everyone on my "Heroes" list, in addition to...

Music:

It's not really music, but I took the offspring to see Eddie Izzard perform at the Arlene Schnitzer and it was fantastic beyond words. Saw George Michael in Seattle. Wonderful!! Spent waaay too much to see Rufus Wainwright play at the Newmark Theater. Before that, saw the Decemberists at the Crystal Ballroom. It was fun but the band was rusty. Still on an Edith Piaf kick. Still loving Rufus, Fiona, Dandy Warhols (side note: I've always wanted to start a band called Dandy Rooneys just to irritate Courtney Taylor), and old Milla Jovovich. Subjected to lots of My Chemical Romance and Green Day. Others on constant rotation include: Rufus Wainwright , Tom Waits , The Decemberists , Grant-Lee Phillips , XTC , Robyn Hitchcock , Elliott Smith , and Elvis Costello .

Movies:

My Top Five Movies:

Lolita (Lyne's, not Kubrick's. Purists eat me.)
The Fisher King
Delicatessen
My Own Private Idaho
Moulin Rouge (Purists eat me)

Television:

You know those people who write, "I don't really watch TV. I'd rather read a book" on their MySpace profiles? Those people are big, fat liars. I watch tons of TV. So there. Mostly binging on CNN. Most recently, my boyfriend has me all sucked into WWE.

Books:

The library down the street had a used book sale. I bought 9 books for about $10. Fucking righteous. Everything from a Photoshop manual to Suze Orman to An Introduction to Relativity to a book about Superstrings and two photography books and Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt (whom I once saw at Borders reading from Breakfast on Pluto and he was ragingly drunk on Guinness Stout). Finished Devil's Knot- true crime novel about the West Memphis 3. Finished Wil Wheaton's Just a Geek- highly recommended! Fun, breezy reading. Currently reading Black Holes and Baby Universes by Stephen Hawking. Feeling like a dork 'cause I never realized he's English. His voice synthesizer has no accent! How was I to know?! Found a fiction novel called Misfortune in the freebie pile at my apartment building. Very interesting. Flowery, verbose descriptives that remind me of Decemberists songs, with words like "bombazine" and "parapet." Past loves include John Irving, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, and John Steinbeck. The first author I ever loved was Stephen King. I'm a sucker for the Ender's Game series, even though Orson Scott Card is an idiot Mormon nutcase.
