During its heyday from 1986-1996, “120 Minutes” was the utimate destination to see videos from some of the most vital underground/alternative bands of the time including Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, Husker Du, and countless others. Hosts of the show included J.J. Jackson, Downtown Julie Brown (!) and everyone’s favorite foot-wagging, gravel-voiced music nerd, Matt Pinfield. Here’s a great clip with Billy Corgan taking over hosting duties in 1994:

Those days are gone, but lucky for you and me someone has compiled a massive “120 Minutes” archive featuring  playlists with video links, live performance details, interviews and more. See ya next year!
