HELIUM 1997 MTV INDIE OUTING INTERVIEW with Mary Timony

[@spacealienjesus709]

This woman is/ has and always will be my number one crush. I dont get all 🌟 eyed over celebrities..but I love her and the way she represents herself..class act..

[@alex_pearl]

I agree. Also, anytime I meet someone that's a fan of Mary, I instinctively like that person.

[@thisismypassword901]

Mary Timony is so beautiful and talented. Wish I grew up watching this on tv. Who am I stuck with? Someone like Avril Larvine who can't even begin to measure up to Mary's greatness.

I remember setting my VCR to record this in the middle of the day while I was at high school so I could catch the Ween interview for The Mollusk on this episode. In the past 10 years I revisited it shortly after getting into The Magic City album by Helium and was delighted to find this interview!

[@BuddinBuddha902]

Saw her at the Black Cat in D.C. years ago.....around 2000....she seemed weirded-out that I just walked up to her after the show to shake her hand. A talent indeed. :-)

[@jonathanspruance4502]

I saw Helium twice and MT solo once in the 90s and briefly chatted with her after the show. She was so nice. Amazing shows.

[@alabaster9]

Being 18-28 in the 90s looks better and better in retrospect with each passing year. The 21st Century fuckin blows!

[@phatmatt885]

Alabaster Adams lol true

[@slacktoryrecords4193]

12 years later and this comment is truer than ever. So glad I came of age in the 90s.

[@pawel115]

Love "American Jean" great song Mary.

[@marsiozo]

in my vinyl LP records bin I got Helium lined up next to Babes in Toyland, Sleater Kinney and Le Tigre

[@webster670]

My heart just exploded from love overload.

[@RossIvanov]

Janeane Garofalo will always be awesome!

[@WaitingtoHit]

Helium anything is hard to come by. Way to go!

[@stanleyhall6801]

Play music with Mary was alway Amazing really cool human being

[@Superstarseven]

Great upload. I know Viacom hates their stuff being put up on KZbin but they must have some sort of statute of limitations considering how old this clip is. It's not as if they're losing any money at all from some potential DVD set that'll never happen.

[@dbadagna]

Wow, I never knew there was a Mary Timony interview on MTV, or any other TV channel. Thank you for finding and posting this!

[@aficionado79]

thank you so much for posting this! I had no idea this existed before you posted this. Helium was such an amazing band.

[@AntiYourFacePhD]

See this... this is MTV not only playing music videos, but giving a truly talented artist some well deserved exposure despite not having an overly poppy sound. Let's all take a moment to be sad.

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

Got way worse 10 yrs later

[@AntiYourFacePhD]

@@kasandrapurplekitten Yes it did. :(

[@Anything2bCool]

Damn...what a cool chick. I especially dig her style in the overalls.

[@nem3668]

I love Mary.

[@uncooldispatch5438]

Amazing 😻 magic city! Like the sun Ra album right ?! 😂😅❤🎉

[@inphanta]

It's funny how you get an impression of what you think an artist may be like judging by their music, then you see them in an interview and it confounds that expectation. I imagined Timony would be quite intense and serious but she doesn't come across that way at all.

[@girlytragedy]

love her forever

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

Mary Timony, Suzi Quatro, Liz Fraser. My 3 hardest crushes.

[@asymptoticspatula]

Mary Timony is a genius. I love her music so much.

[@Meandgenevieve]

Fantastic. That album The Magic City is 5 stars and is Mary the coolest rock star ever or what?

[@JohnSmithAprilMay]

helium were on mtv like 4 times, if you don't count beavis & butt-head reruns, which is where most people heard them for the first time.

[@Xenu]

Wow!! Where in the world did you find this video!? Mary was such a beauty! I still love Helium. A great, great band.

[@thisismypassword901]

Her latest album came out in 2011... And I only said that because I grew up during the peak of Avril Larvine's career.

[@toribjork10]

cool video! ALSO I WANT THAT FUCKING TEAPOT!

[@SilverSparrow79]

There always seems to be a sadness about her whenever I see her in vids.

[@thechapelperilous]

The dream indie 90's girlfriend.

[@jgitar]

There was a time where mtv was cool

[@felix_five]

Could this be any more 90s?

[@ChumKrimson]

Avril Lavigne still makes music? This comment seems like it should have been made back in 2002

[@lillemarihone]

So jealous!

[@runedharma22]

I always need to go to other lands.

[@JokersNtheOddball]

Pirate prude is the best record

[@DJNurseAnnabella]

smells like the 90s strong with this vid lol
