Anyone seen their "Bikini Girls and Machine Guns" and "Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon" videos? They stand out as my own personal highlights of my music video cinematography career, together with my Tom Wait's "Blow Wind Blow".

I have not seen those. Is there a Cramps DVD with their videos?

What other videos did you work on, Sven?
