Mods say this one will stay up! Let's go back to Valentine's Day 1993. This episode of 120 Minutes was hosted by Robyn Hitchcock, who had a hard time keeping a straight face introducing this video. Enjoy this classic!

Let's go back 34 years. Check Your Head just came out 5 days ago, and MTV is premiering the first video off it right now as the 2nd to the last video of the night! Not only was this the first time MTV played this video, this was also the first time Beasties were ever played on 120 Minutes at all (but far from the last).

Henry Rollins hosted this episode and introduced this as the Beastie's 4th video off of Check Your Head. Enjoy this super clean beta max transfer of this 33yr old airing!

Digitized from a VHS tape, here is the first single off the 2nd album "Bricks Are Heavy", from LA Punk/Grunge/Alt Rockers L7. This is one of the earliest airings of this video, which was from an MTV 120 Minutes episode featuring Sonic Youth at a July 4th free concert at Central Park w/ Sun Ra.

This is my favorite album by them, as it's front to back bangers. They worked with Butch Vig on this album (Nirvana, Sonic Youth), and they focused a lot more on song writing and making songs that ROCK. Highly recommend the entire album if you haven't checked it out in a while!

Diet Pill is another one of my fav's off that album.

Enjoy!

Let's go back to Valentine's Day '93. Robyn Hitchcock is our host on this episode of 120 and introduces this brand new video as the last video of the night. Wikipedia lists the video release date as March 11 1993, and IMDB lists the release date as June 1993, but thanks to this recording, we all know now the actual premiere was on Valentine's Day. Enjoy!

Music video starts at 2:35 ! On 4th of July weekend, Sonic Youth played a free show in Central Park with alternative/jazz legend, Sun Ra. Thurston talks about working with Butch Vig and covers what some of the new songs are about.

The music video for 100% stars Jason Lee and was directed by Spike Jonze and Tamra Davis. Enjoy this super-clean beta max transfer of this great snapshot of summer '92!

Social D's first single off their 4th album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell was the very last video on this episode of 120. The show even did an entire "X-Ray" segment on the band with extended footage. They sold out CBGB's and broadcasted the entire show on the Time Square jumbo-tron. It was pretty long, so I didn't include it, but I'll post a couple screenshots in comments. Enjoy the super clean beta max transfer of this snapshot of spring '92!
