about the cat-wheres the eastender cartoon? THE CAT - COOL CAT BLUES - PARAMOUNT CLASSIC CARTOON (1960) and TOPCAT

In my mind Alex shows up in the graveyard in the Treme asks your astrological sign 3x, shares an unfiltered cigarette and some warm bourbon, smiles really well and disappears back into the Treme for 20 years

From "The Cutting Edge", not "120 Minutes".

This was on the Cutting Edge...not 120 Minutes

Wow, I’m impressed MTV actually had this show even in the mid 80s. I though it only came about when “grunge” became popular. The network still sucked in many ways with all the music videos it rejected and bands they ignored.

Always will think the indy LP on Automatic was their best.

Two left of field artists in the advent of alternative rock. Just picking playing...he was all over the map in terms of style.

When I use to hear this song on the radio as a kid I would've bet anything this was a mature black guy and not a white teenager.

Is it David Hoskot on drums?

That's how he sang The Letter on the first take before being advised to growl it up for take two !

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYMORE HARVEYTOON CARTOONS INCLUDING NOVELTOON AND MODERN MADCAP SERIES AND CASPER, HERMAN AND KATNIP AND MANY MORE

Been searching for this band for years, omg so happy, does anyone know where I can get to listen to "falling for Carmen"

I miss these classics. Thanks for sharing.

Who did the king's violin playing, Jack Benny? ;o)

This was filmed Mardi Gras weekend 1986 for the MTV show "The Cutting Edge."

He looks a lot like a friend from my past.

God blues you I'm happy listen you....

sometimes I think that one of the pleasantest experiences of my life was meeting and chatting with Alex Chilton because he was so sweet

I love love love Alex Chilton, he gives me the lovey feeling when I listen to his music

Is the blonde Liza Gibons?

I got a phone call in 1985 from this guy who's name was Alex Chilton. He asked me if I would be interested in a gig playing drums for him at 1st Avenue in Mpls. Alex was in town producing the The Replacements album. Alex came over to my house to audition me . He had the infamous Replacement roadie with him. my drums were setup in my bedroom and I had old 60s record's everywhere in my room. I noticed Alex and Bill looking at a lp and laughing, I asked what are you laughing about. Alex had a Box Tops record in his hand and said and said that's me! I didn't know who he was ,to me it was a chance to play 1st Ave. I freaked out and he signed my record and he hired me and we played 1st Ave. Alex was a very nice guy,very professional and very talented. Thank you Alex.

I was blessed to have played drums for Alex at 1st ave in Mpls in 1985.

well my son meant then how he liked they showed this stuff on weinerville season one then unlike those stupid chipmunks with the chipettes at once with that stupid clyde guy both that Alvin was stupid to him as well

Had no idea this documentary was done. Incredible. Alex is so fetching, so tragic.

Dubbed applause

The Crowd don't look happy!

I came here because I've watched Ken Burns' Jazz documentary

I loved this! I thought Alex was a black soul singer. We all did! Xxx

Oh man, swingin'! Never seen this one before, super of you to put it here, thanks!

What about Sweet Cream ladies a '' Great Woman's lib song '' !!!!!!!!!!!!

Strangely enough, Alex Chilton's voice in this video sounds nothing like the lower register growl on the song "The Letter" as recorded in Memphis in 1967 for the Mala label. And a person's voice usually becomes lower as he/she ages, which makes Chilton's voice here seem doubly strange.

alex chilton overlooked genius in music.same as chris bell and their band 'big star'.bless their souls.

Either the King's tone-deaf or he needs to fine-tune his violin playing, LOL Still a funny, original cartoon either way :)

He had so much soul and pathos.

what bach song is he playing at 1:13? gotta know

Hey, I was wondering if you have the full episodes of "Cartoon Kablooey" that showed the late 1950's-1960 Paramount and UPA cartoons on Nickelodeon in the early-to-mid 1990s?

Similarly bad violin play would be seen in "Hogan's Heroes" when Col. Klink fiddled.
