WHO WAS IN MY ROOM LAST NIGHT?
LA MOMIA MAS PEQUENA DEL MUNDO ~ Guanajuato, Mexico! In 1985 I saw her in person on the Day of the Dead ~ she's been my favorite mummy ever since. If you don't already have it, get the 1978 Ray Bradbury book "The Mummies of Guanajuato" with GREAT photos of the mummies (as they were displayed back in the day) by Archie Lieberman!
My primer black Satellite & a few other nice hunks of 70's (mostly Mopar) muscle I used to drive - parked by the water in Brooklyn, 1990 photo (c) The Evil Dr. Revolt.

THE MYSTERY HOLE ~ an amazing place in Ansted, West Virginia ~ my all-time favorite roadside attraction, built by Donald Wilson (R.I.P.) and his wife Mary Jean.
BY THE WAY, REGARDING THE VIDEO BELOW, I HAVE TO ADD A DISCLAIMER, IE: IN MY HUMBLE (ha) OPINION, THE SONG IS GOOD BUT THESE DANCERS REALLY REALLY REALLY SUCK! IT LOOKS AS IF THEY'RE LOST WITHOUT A POLE TO HANG ON TO... yuck. Oh well.

HEY! it's me, your good friend WG... the gal that spent a bunch of years hosting WILDGIRL'S ROCKIN' RACING on WFMU radio and produced the infamous WILDGIRL'S GO-GO-RAMA rock'n'roll extravaganzas all over the place - with the help of WILDGIRL'S FABULOUS GO-GO-BABES & a bunch of totally awesome rock'n'roll bands ~ A-Bones (they're in the movie), Fleshtones & Drag Racing Underground (Big Stick), among others.
Yup, I still miss NYC. Look me up in Wikipedia (WILDGIRL ~ one word)

P.S. CHECK MY PICS!!! You can see me and my sweetie & our Kustom Kulture shop FERAL! Curio Co. (you might like it) & our Godzwilla dog in action and a few other beautiful critters...
2008 was a turbulent year to say the least. Practically the entire world's economy was put through the proverbial ringer. We have to hope and believe that 2009 will usher in a new year of stability. We all share a love of music, art and culture. And that love bonds us together and gives us strength and a sense of unity.
We've been dealt plenty of hardship in 2008-- We lost some cherished members of our closely knit music family. Musicians who will always hold a place in our hearts. Bo Diddley, Isaac Hayes, Buddy Miles, Freddie Hubbard, Mitch Mitchell, Jimmy Carl Black, Danny Federici and Ola Brunkert all passed away in 2008.
Let's try to walk into 2009 with optimism. Big Stick is continuing to mix new tracks. We're doing some music work for racing video games. We're producing some videos featuring John's artwork. Yanna's continuing to do her sculpture work in bronze. We hope that you're planning on making the most of 2009. May the world experience more peace and comfort. Let's have a New Year of health, joy and peace.
