I am sorry to hear that 120 minutes has joined the rest of MTV to become one 
huge commercialised blob that does little more than play uninterrupted 
reruns of Real World and Road Rules.

I haven't watched 120 minutes since I could no longer stand to listen to 
Matt Pinfield but it used to be one of the few indie rock outlets a young 
boy from the suburbs had. I remember watching in awe my first Pixies video 
back at the end of the Kevin Seal days.  And seeing Pavement play "Stop 
Breathin'" when they released Crooked Rain and were saving indie rock from 
the alternative monster.  And having the surreal experience of watching my 
TA from my Morphology class in college host the show one week (None other 
than Greg Graffin of Bad Religion, he was a doctoral candidate in zoology at 
my school, I shit you not).  Anyway this is a shame.  However, if you have 
the cable technology, check out MTV2.  I watched it a bit during an 
unemployed period last year.  It had a great mix of indie and cheezy 80's 
videos.  Very entertaining.
