120 Minutes Ruled
This weekend I visited my family in my hometown of Gruver, Texas, a small town with a Dairy Queen, a gas station, my high school alma mater, and many cows. So needless to say, I was bored out of my mind. Luckily my parents have satellite television. I stumbled onto VH1 Classic, always a treat while at home, and caught some old school videos, concerts, interviews, and one pretty awesome special on Steely Dan’s Aja album.
But the best thing on VH1 Classic, by far, is their two-hour 3AM homage to the old MTV staple 120 Minutes. In the block, they play old alt videos from (mostly) the 80’s, though an occasional 90’s video crept up in the playlist. After the jump is a sampling of pretty excellent retro videos I saw while suffering from sleep deprivation and waiting for the next Skinemax movie to come on.
And one more from Luscious Jackson that I adore:
