ROBERT TAKES OVER THE @BBC6MUSIC 6MIX AHEAD OF HIS 'CUREATION' OF THIS YEAR'S TEENAGE CANCER TRUST CONCERTS AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL MARCH 23-29. TUNE IN FRIDAY 11PM UK TIME www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
Countless iconic alternative videos β including the Cure's "Lovesong," Jane's Addiction's "Been Caught Stealing," Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Under The Bridge," and Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" β had their world premieres on '120 Minutes.' βοΈ
After initially being presented by rotating VJs, '120 Minutes' introduced a succession of regular hosts: Kevin Seal, Dave Kendall, Lewis Largent, Matt Pinfield, and Dave Holmes. Hundreds of popular artists also dropped by to guest host, be interviewed, and perform. It aired on MTV from 1986 to 2000.
β120 Minutesβ premiered on MTV 40 years ago today. The program, airing from 1β3 a.m. EST on Mondays, was conceived as a showcase for new and experimental videos. It soon moved to midnight, and as its focus narrowed to alternative music, it became essential viewing for fans of cutting-edge bands.
On the 29th of April we open for the legendary chapterhouse with sister ray davies it will be crazy, and loud!πExciting!

The two men hit it off right away, and as they walked drunkenly through the deserted streets of Osaka at 4:30 in the morning, Reitzell decided to ask Shields if he might be interested in contributing to a film score, if ever he found a suitable project. βSure,β Shields replied. His only prior experience with film music had been a $5,000 payday heβd shared with J Mascis to demo a version of the Mission Impossible 2 theme song. (In another win for mainstream American culture, Limp Bizkit got the gig instead.) Reitzell knew of Shieldsβs recent difficulties with Island and his inability to finish new solo work in the studio, but he seemed undeterred.
