[@pokerstud6874]

Thurston loves the sound of his voice

Billboard for punk or post punk

[@rigocolas]

It's so cold in the D

[@briansmith9455]

Back in the.old days, you used to be able to discover new, cool music on 120 minutes. Had to stay up late though.

[@EddieHazel74]

now you can do it any time you want on the internet. no need for corporate television

[@bonmot7850]

Brian Smith also new, uncool outfits

[@apexlegendsofficialreal]

get with the times old guy you can listen to any song you want in a second

[@briansmith9455]

@@apexlegendsofficialreal you could always do that. You don't have a built-in music player in your brain?

[@FriedaMontoya]

Dave Kendall was the perfect host of 120 minutes and usually WAY cooler than this makes him look (on the show and in real life). Kevin Seal was awesome, too. It was a great time to be a depressed teenager.

[@lylematmos6105]

true, thurston. we indeed do live in a society

What

[@LordWoolley]

Gotta love all you Dave Kendall haters. You probably were not even born in 1990. Yes he is a massive Killing Joke fan. He is also more knowledgeable about indie and alternative music than any of you muppets. Dave Kendall and Kevin Seal blow Matt Pinfield out of the water. This was when 120 minutes was the real deal 87-90 and not some corporate grunge vehicle. KABOOM.

[@bonmot7850]

LordWoolley wasn't Goo the premier corporate grunge of 1990

[@LordWoolley]

It was Liz.

[@bonmot7850]

LordWoolley Kendall's website reads: "His duties at Soundbreak [in 2000] included formulating and developing "Sweetspot" video interviews and an interactive music news show, conceiving a site redesign architecture, developing competitive analyses and viral marketing plans, and forming strategic alliances with Real Networks, Microsoft, Sonic Foundry/Juno, Earthlink and others." I think the muppets might be onto something, a little bit.

[@LordWoolley]

After 1992 and seeing 120 minutes sell out, why not make a few bucks? Kevin Seal btw was the only interviewer or host to ever handle John Lydon. Had him in his back pocket. Proof on KZbin. Kendall was the real deal. He didn't harp about MC5 and the Velvet Underground every 5 seconds like Pinfield. Name dropping was cool for like 2 sec before Nirvana sold out and grunge ruined music. Kaboom.

[@bonmot7850]

I would somewhat rather hear about the Velvet Underground than about Kendall's developing viral marketing plans and strategic competitive analyses, few bucks or no. Kablammo.

[@cpottervlog8122]

I could be wrong but Thurston looks and sounds totally baked here

[@sexobscura]

A L W A Y S

[@mynameismark25]

so rad how they mentioned SST and Dischord, I think if SY were still around today they'd mention Death Wish or something.

[@evilwatchme]

Steve Shelley is totes adorbs.

[@copheart]

Sweet Bill Cosby shirt Thurston. Probably wouldn't fly today though.

[@jebgleason-allured5686]

120 minutes theme song hits me in a seriously Pavlovian way. It must be Sunday and I've stayed up too late.

[@basilshim]

the name of the movie (with the girl called Goo) is Sir Drone if I do not mistake

[@basilshim]

really cool movie by the way

[@EagleGlue]

@StraightPunkEdge93 It's just you. If you watched 120 Minutes during Dave's tenure as host, it was very apparent that he was a huge Killing Joke fan.

[@zaper002]

"Thurston you gotta start washing your hands for these interviews!" "Never..."

[@musicuniverse1356]

College radio was really instrumental in supporting Sonic Youth and other bands. My favorite band Coil was supported by College a Radio and they were on a compilation with Sonic Youth and Husker Du called “Diamond Hidden in a Mouth of a Corpse”.

[@Xcalator35]

That was one of the records by John Giorno Poetry System I guess. Good times, great music, amazing attitude!

My thoughts EXfuckingACTLY

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales7218]

Steve Jay Shelley, baterista estadounidense, nacido el 23 de junio de 1963 en Midland, Michigan. Formó parte de la formación original de la banda de punk :"Crucifucks".

[@goddamaddog]

That was cool

[@uggles_mcfuggles]

Impure thoughts about Dave Kendall and Steve Shelley. Nerds vs. jocks. 😅

The interviewer's voice reminds me of Moss' voice from the IT Crowd.

[@CMHobbies]

9 years later, I’m thinking the SAME THING.

[@aflordomar]

[@MajestaBuck]

BEST. BAND. EVER.

[@dgsroy]

"Do you ever have the feeling like, 'today I'm gonna wake up and wear something really... stupid'?" Dave Kendall modelling the default summer 'look' of Millennial hipsters here...

[@sexobscura]

He vocalised EXACTLY what I thought on seeing him

[@layditms2]

lol Millenials didn't even grow up with the styles

[@Supersonic5616]

my dad knows dave kenndal

[@RKTologist]

1:34

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

@EagleGlue Sorry. Please excuse my ignorance:) Im used VJ's pretending like they like a band so I can't tell if they are legitimate fans.

[@violetasuarezcapri4258]

Great times! , before technology made eveything and everyone technological demystified.

[@ahemitsmex5]

The name of the movie? Film? The one with the girl's name "Goo"?

[@clydecash2212]

hope you're still alive op but its sir drone by raymond pettibon desu

[@t4769mp]

this interchange between 1:36 and 2:01 is hilarious

[@Koettnylle]

Why is that band talking? I thought Dave Kendall was going to be interviewed.

[@NOWtheband]

Ha ha! Well noticed!

[@lockyp204]

Fuck, I remember those Ramones shorts- i used to own a pair. Geez i'm old..

[@MrShimazu]

Wearing something really stupid? Did he just said that Killing Joke is stupid?

[@monolithgeometry3221]

Who is Dave Kendall Summer ?

[@brittleeyes]

I feel sorry for Steve not getting the chance to talk.

[@PinemartenMusic]

he never seemed to like talking much anyway

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Couldn't with wig boy around

[@avedic]

are you new to perspective? lol

[@sexobscura]

How was GOO a #1 alternative album when it was released on a major label

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

Am I the only person that thinks the host isn't really a Ramones fan or Killing Joke fan?

[@roejogan8]

hot? lol... cool story bro

[@Tautolonaut]

i wanted to watch this, but that guy kendall is making me retch.

[@displaymsg]

Thurston not being a jokester in his jokester era. Majors ill' do that to ya'.

[@filipecoutinho5706]

Spot the wife cheater

[@diogopinto9462]

The dark days before grunge ..

[@CMHobbies]

Did we really need grunge…? Most of the bands l like were more influenced by this lot than Nirvana.

[@layditms2]

and

[@MrRekarbenots]

damn thurston is looking aged in fine cocaine right here. with steve next to him looking all baby faced and shit. he actually looks, like, thirty five or six or something. burning that candle from every end, baby. ride the silver rocket, brother. it don't stay that good. love you guys. more sounds please?

[@LordWoolley]

Sonic Youth feel like fools I bet. Kendall cuts right to the heart of the matter and tells them they sold out. Serves them right for their horrid treatment of David Byrne and Talking Heads for signing a major label deal during the No Wave era.

[@startervisions]

lol what
