  • During the summer of 1990 I was between marriages and living alone, and before work each morning I'd have the television on while I got ready. China was the morning VJ on MTV then, and I thought she was incredibly cute. She seemed so natural and unpolished and it was a nice inspiring way to start the day.

  • I first heard of him thru RE/search's Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 1. I never knew MTV did a feature on him. I always wanted to see what it really looked like inside. Thanks for sharing.

  • Thanks for putting this up! Back in the mid-to-late 80s, it was one of my favorite spots. It finally shut down in 1989, a casualty of the ongoing gentrification of Mill Valley.

    I'd always wondered if Micky McGowan had any plans to reopen the Unknown Museum -- according to a 2006 IJ article (google "Unknown Museum lives on, privately"), he still has the collection housed in his home in San Rafael, but has no plans on publicly curating it in the near future.
