MTV makes me wanna smoke crack
October 28th, 2008It looks like MTV has put a big chunk of their music vid library online, with embedding capabilities…neat…and it looks like there are a fair few obscure vids on there too, like this random example, one of my favorite vids of all time, Yo La Tengo’s "Sugarcube" (they don’t have "Tom Courtney" yet, and I KNOW I saw that on 120 Minutes!)…
If I could do a poll, I’d do "do you like trip hop: yes, no maybe".
hopefully my olde VHS dubs of videos from 120 minutes will soon be obsolete! [via]
I do not like trip hop. also, even if mtv gets off its fat ass and uploads all those 120 minutes classics (did someone say ned’s atomic dustbin?) you would still need your vhs copies unless they also included the brilliant host segments featuring everyone’s fantasy prom date, dave kendall.
Ahh Dave Kendall. The host you love to hate to love to hate. Remembering him is inspiring its own post. Coming soon.
[…] Gamera’s comment about Dave Kendall got me thinking about how much I didn’t like him when he was hosting 120 minutes. He always seemed smarmy and sycophantic, didn’t he? I remembered a bit where Sonic Youth were making fun of him, but I couldn’t find it on youtube (wha?!)…a google search revealed it was from 1991: The Year Punk Broke, which I have a very fond memory of seeing at Grafton Stovall at JMU. A bit more hunting, and I couldn’t find the film anywhere…apparently Courtney Love is blocking them from releasing it on DVD for some reason…how can she do this? — since she has the rights (?) to K Cobain’s material maybe? Since she’s in it and would need to sign a new contract? […]
Hey, the guy with pink hair is the guy from Arrested Development (and Mr. Show I think).
