“You’ll never look at music the same way again” said VJ Mark Goodman when MTV launched 37 years ago this week (8.1.81) with videos from The Buggles, Split Enz, The Pretenders, Talking Heads and The Vapors.
Music from the bands who played the first Lollapalooza 27 years ago (Jane’s Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Violent Femmes, Siouxsie And The Banshees) plus a proper nod to Hello Nasty for this set of classic 80s and 90s tunes.
Joining the El Scorcho, Freedom Of Choice, 4th Of July (sorta) weekend with two hours of classic 80s and 90s tunes (…and a cool cover of an 80s classic with a 90s ska punk touch!)
Season 2 of the popular HBO show debuts tonight. BONUS: All my favorite piano reworks of Radiohead, The Cure, and Soundgarden from composer Ramin Djawadi are here, too.
In case you didn’t see Liam Gallagher’s set at Lolla…well, even if you did, he only played four songs before walking off. Here’s some Oasis to make up for it!
