About Me

A beauty school drop out with an addiction to collecting records, mainly 60s Psych, Garage, Beat, Bubblegum, Soul, etc. (Lately 70s Glam), and playing those records for you to dance or drink to at various venues!

Love 60s German Pop TV Programs (Beat Club, BEAT BEAT BEAT), Swingin' London TV Shows and movies (See favorites)and buying vintage 60s clothes whenever possible.

Last year I received an early birthday gift of the autograph Zombies bassist Chris White!!! You rule, Karen!!! On top of that, I met Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent in the lobby of my hotel room in Spain! DAMN! I recently got to meet Eddie Phillips from the Creation (sadly, no pictures or an autograph, damn!) and help Sky Saxon find his tomato juice (which was right in front of his face) while he preached to me about living in Oakland when I was in London last year. If I can think of anything else, I'll let you know.

My Interests

Now They're Remaking 'The Omen' And 'The Wicker Man'? Please Stop!!!

So now that Hollywood hasn't got a creative bone in its body anymore, I guess the time is ripe to remake/remodel (and destroy in most cases) more classic films that should be left alone! Ov...
