An hour and ten minutes of 120 minutes
Monday 4/1/24 --- 12:50 to 2 am
imperial drag -boy or a girl
the name feels so 70s but it’s def a 90s sounding song. Also I always want it to be more than it is but I think that’s unfair of me
blink 182 - josie
This one is basically “my girlfriend who lives in Canada” to me- I just don’t believe their gf is real even with the sourcing details. Also, should I watch vacation someday?
the clash -radio clash
Even though it’s a legendary classic, I still tend to forget it has as good a beat as it does. I want to listen to more Clash but wherever I do I feel existential guilt, like I’m being useless and soporific by not trying too live up to punk ideals
A flock of seagulls - I ran
I would have thought this was not quite avant-garde for 120 minutes, but that’s just the perspective of looking back at this song from 40 years later
morrissey - the last of the famous international playboys
One of the very few sonically bearable non-smiths Morrissey singles. Morrissey says he’s not naturally evil in this song but i dunno if I cam agree; there are few as consistently bigoted and selfish as him. On a side note I was rummaging through my room recently and I found my old enormous Morrissey/Johnny Marr poster… god I loved that poster so much back in the day. I loved the smiths so much back in the day 🥲
The damned -anything
Uh, kinda forgettable within the rest of this lineup. Not awful when I’m hearing it but I forget it instantly
david Bowie - ashes to ashes
A song and video I understand and fall for a little more every time I encounter it. I wish I had more to say about it but nothing I can say can evoke what ashes to ashes feels like
Erasure - love to hate you
The mv that made me want to make this post. I really like this!!! I’ve always been drawn to the lush voice of Erasure’s singer, and this is combining him with a playful and energetic song that uses the best sample of all time (i call it that cause it’s one that never sounds ugly, out-of-place, or cliché despite being insanely famous and commonly used. It’s like a magic sample). And this video is excellent as well- if I made an mv this is what it would be like: strutting through the streets with a proudly partying entourage, performing in shallow water and historical buildings,
Cowboy junkies- sweet jane
Um, boring.
The rentals - friends of p
Ah, this is the kind of band I imagine is on when I see 120 Minutes is playing. It’s not my general style but I watched the whole thing with some fascination, so it’s doing something right. I like the violin bit at the end
Frank black -hang on to your ego
It’s Pet Sounds, baby! You can’t go wrong covering a song by Brian Wilson. I think I would enjoy having more covers on the radio. Maybe the resurgence of Fast Car can start that wave
ned’s atomic dustbin - grey cell green
For a few minutes I was transported to the 90s and everything was ok.
REM - orange crush
Well I’m currently in my 30s, aka my “loving REM” years, so I guess I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush.
the the - this is the day
Solid, relaxing. I like folk influences
front 242 - tragedy for you
Why do I feel like I remember this beat so vividly even though I don’t recognize this song? Maybe it’s cause their synth sounds the same as the one the Mighty Boosh used? I am Elecro Boy… I am Electro Girl…
Oop well I was hoping to go for 120 min of 120 minutes but Toni Braxton just appeared so it looks like we’re in 90s Nation now. Guess I’ll peace out for now ✌🏽
