Viewers are forewarned that J has called this “the most embarrassing snippet of video I ever participated in.” He's also called it “a true travesty of human endeavor”, and “funny to the extent that it can be funny to watch severely fucked-up people trying to speak in complete sentences.”

Note: Xy's fabulous “Dumpster Diving” segment originally appeared in ROX 38, “My Mother, the Doctor,” on 5 October 1993. It's one of our finer moments, and it won an Honor Award in America's College Video Competition (1994). We entered her in the contest because she was in graduate school at the time, and therefore technically eligible. As part of the prize, Xy also won an internship at MTV, which in turn became the subject of ROX 62, “XY in NY.” This is the remixed video version which appeared in that latter episode on 27 September 1994. The original video featured unlicensed samples from “Illistrum” by Art Ensemble of Chicago. In this remixed version, the musical elements are performed by Xy herself. Editor B mans the cam and provides backup vocals.

Direct link: youtu.be/nDT24J-1B6U

Note: Fourteen seconds of fame! A clip of ROX #59 was featured on MTV's Straight Dope. Yes, we smoked dope on MTV, and they paid us for it. Coincidentally, XY was an intern at MTV and ended up working on the special herself, as chronicled in ROX #62.

Direct link: youtu.be/g7jIti_wpHw

Note: Some people might think this idea that 'property is theft' sounds a little kooky, radical, outside the mainstream. But that's really because this modern system of property ownership is all most of us have ever known. It hasn't always been this way, and it needn't always be this way. Ideas about property change. Take this guy, for example — Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy. He fought for a system where people could be property... Today that seems totally outrageous, but in his time, a lot of people thought it was just fine and dandy. So who's to say what's next? Our children's children might look back at us and our ideas about property and wonder: What were they thinking?

Note: Locally-produced cable access programs became the subject of talk radio one Tuesday afternoon in February of 1993. First they talked to the director of BCAT (now CATS), Michael White. Then they took calls from the general public, including J&B.This audio is taken from a casette tape made on a boombox as the broadcast occured. It has been lightly edited to remove commercial interruptions and other irrelevancies. There's a bit missing where the tape ran out and had to be flipped to the other side.Elements of this recording appeared in the audio track of ROX #27.
