As I mentioned in a previous post, I was super excited to hear 120 Minutes was coming back on the air this weekend. The new 120 Minutes premiered last night. I taped it and just viewed the show. It was an exciting time for me.
I have to say, Matt Pinfield looks like he has never aged. He is the same guy I remember from the original 120 Minutes. It was nice to hear some new bands, like the Joy Formidable and Cults. I also enjoyed watching some old clips from artists like Radiohead. A number of bands appeared on the show for interviews, as well.
If I had to be picky about anything at all, I would say I was a little sad the show featured interviews from Kings of Leon and PJ Harvey, but did not show any of their videos. I was really excited because I thought perhaps PJ Harvey had a new video and I would get to see it, but no such luck. I guess I can just hope for next week.
Overall, the new 120 Minutes is just as awesome as the original, and I can't wait to see the next episode. Just the fact that this show exists again gives me hope for the music industry. I believe there was a time when there wasn't enough decent music out there, but now there are enough new, talented artists to fill up at least 2 hours of air time each week.
