120 Minutes + You Tube = '80s Video Nirvana
The idea is simple: combine a playlist from the seminal MTV program
120 Minutes with the wealth of old music videos available on
You Tube. The playlists are courtesy of
Altmusictv. The videos are courtesy of video pirates from all over the world. And away we go...
