MTV 120 Minutes

[bionicbigfoot]

Hey everybody,
I just wrote an article about 120 Minutes for USA Today's Pop Candy website. http://content.usatoday.com/communities ... bering-mtv’s-120-minutes/1

I think some of you may enjoy that. Also, if anyone here has tapes of 120 Minutes (from its debut in 1986 through the Kendall era) or Post-Modern MTV, I would gladly transfer them to DVD for you free of charge, and I would send them and the DVDs back to you. I would love to see this stuff again.

While we are on the topic, does anybody have any mp3s or CDs of 97.5 WPST's Post-Modern PST radio show that aired in the late 80s/early 90s. It aired in New Jersey/Philly and was hosted by Mel "Toxic" Taylor and Scott Lowe (On the Go).

Thanks folks!

for a while, 120 Minutes was being aired on VH1 Classics on a regular basis. It may still be.

It pops up from time to time at 3 or 4 AM. They're not the original episodes, tho--only videos that they used to play on 120. (As well as a few they never played--they showed Wire's "Silk Skin Paws" a few weeks back and I know 120 never played that back in the day...)

Funny, whenever I briefly catch 120 Minutes on VH1 Classic it looks nothing to me like anything that resembles the original. Just a bunch of mainstream pseudo-alternative mostly chart-topping videos from yesteryear, nothing edgy about it (unlike the real 120 Minutes I remember).

LMK if you find any? I've been looking for the original shows from it's inception, till 1990, forever.

I had many [i]120 Minutes[/i] episodes taped on Beta Max (Sony's big floped video format)--don't know what I did with them...

My most fave episode was when Larry "Bud" Melman (sp?) hosted a really crazy show, wher he made fun of the "King o' Pop's" glove for the Run DMC video of [i]It's Tricky[/i], IIRC...

But the ones I remember were all hosted by Peter Zaremba (sp?) of The Fleshtones.

Nice article, well written, and I liked almost all the videos/songs you picked... I watched from 1986 to 1988-ish all the time! Then I had no cable for a period of time, and now all MTV is one giant reality show after another, yuck!

[:I]I had a crush on Kennedy, so I liked the ones she hosted![:I]

Still looking for my girl with auburn hair and tawny eyes...

Are you thinking of the IRS Records Cutting Edge Happy Hour? Zaremba hosted that, not 120.

That's a show somebody needs to recover from the archives.

Thanks for posting the article, brings back many a fond musical memory from that time 20+ years back.

OMG.. I TOTALLY forgot about the Whitman Samplers- Dave Kendall <a href="http://davekendall.com/Audio/reallystupid1.mp3" target="blank">'I am really stupid' parody!'</a> Talk about 92.7 flashbacks[}:)]

BTW: Props and thanks to Blogger <a href="http://www.slicingupeyeballs.com/2009/08/23/whitman-samplers-really-stupid-dave-kendall-120-minutes/" target="blank">'Slicing Up Eyeballs'</a> (who happens to be a recent NWO newcomer) for finding that precious nugget.

Oh yeah, I just confused the two shows there thefxc. I didn't tape 120 Mins., I taped [i]The Cutting Edge[/i] show that Peter hosted. I sure confused the two, haven't thought of that show in soooo long, the memory banks had cobbwebs...[:D]

I think they showed them back-to-back, maybe with The Young Ones in between? My god I had a lonely childhood.

But yes, while I'd love to see old 120 shows, I'd kill to watch Cutting Edge again.

Wasn't there also a show called "Post-Modern"? Maybe with Kevin Seal hosting?
