<i>wow. thinking back on this show... the world seemed so much more mysterious and fun back then.</i>

sadly OTM

Although, when I think of 120M now, I get flashbacks of Wonderstuff videos.

Was involved with the show that was taped in Austin back in '85 or '86. The host back then was Peter Zaremba...

This is one of the Cutting Edge shows I have on tape. I started to replay each one to make up an index many years ago, but never followed through. I hope they're still playable. I think I also recorded at the slow speed to fit more on each tape, cheap bastard that I am.

That would be IRS's the Cutting Edge!

I was just about to link to http://tylerc.com/120minutes/, but I see the link in the previous post redirects there. Awesome site.

Dave kendall loved the shit out of swervedriver

http://www.davekendall.com/newsite/index.html

And Swervedriver rules... They should bring him back for the new show.

Is that his online resume?

Oh Dave Kendall - such a lack of personality

He was the one John Lydon called out on-air for wearing a wig, I believe.

T/S: Dave Kendall vs. Matt Pinfield

I found an ancient VHS rip online a while back and realized for the first time that 120 Minutes was actually briefly hosted by Kevin Seal of all people.

i had no idea that show was still going in 2003

yeah I used to watch the Kevin Seal 120 Minutes. Dave Kendall would show up to a record report segment (before taking over as host)

I'm pretty sure I was watching during the Kevin Seal days. There are entire branches of my music taste that are based entirely on specific episodes during that time.

Dave Kendall with his accent saying "Videos coming up from Inspiral Carpets . . . The Charlatans UK . . ." is imprinted on my brain forever.

Joke we had back in the 90s about 120 Minutes was that Dave Kendall in an office re-org had to go to work for "Speed Week" and then one of my roommates would do in Kendall's accent 'This week on Speed Week we got interviews with Cale Yarborough and the new car for Bill Elliot'.

Alan Hunter hosted a lot of the first year's episodes. Adam Curry and Downtown Julie Brown hosted a few as well.

He was the one John Lydon called out on-air for wearing a wig, I believe.

Kendall came out to introduce the bands at a show I went to in 1991 or 1992. I can't remember if it was a Front Line Assembly show or a Laibach show. Probably the former.

I do not remember bald Dave Kendall.

Matt Pinfield, on the other hand...

I always think of Dave Kendall introducing Nitzer Ebb. Whenever I see their name I read it back in my head in his voice.

It's the same for me with Killing Joke

I don't know how I'd forgotten completely about Lewis Largent (his name just spontaneously generated in my brain), especially since he was the host for the entire stretch when I watched the most fanatically.

R.I.P. Lewis Largent. His career had an interesting start:

A native of Southern California, Largent was an enthusiastic golfer as a teen, and he met the general manager of the Los Angeles alternative-radio powerhouse KROQ while working at a country club. Impressed with Largent’s knowledge of music, the GM offered him an internship at the station that led to a full-time role in 1985. He rose quickly through the ranks and was named music director in 1989.

In 1992, Largent left the station to take a VP of music programming post at MTV, where he soon began hosting “120 Minutes.”

Re Dave Kendall — for me it’s him saying Naked Raygun lol!!

Sorry about Lewis Largent :(
