Not Every Music Fan Who Grew Up In The '80s And '90s Knew About It But For Those That Did, '120 Minutes' Was A Once-Per-Week Ritual.
The MTV alternative rock show was a Sunday night immersion in music that was not played on mainstream radio. It gave wide exposure to the surprising, the offbeat and the downright iconoclastic, and made a dedicated following. The rest of the week was devoted to Madonna and Def Leppard ; for fans of the Elves, Hsker D, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and other alternative favourites, there were only those dear 2 hours.
"'120 Minutes' has always stood for something important," asserts Matt Pinfield, 44, who hosted the show in the mid-'90s and became its most recognizable personality. "It's about going past the conventional and showing you that there had been other great music out there that you might not know. And always presented with passion, instead of hipster cynicism."
It was Pinfield who brought much of that passion. The excitable, bald-headed radio veteran, who began his career at Rutgers' WRSU-FM, looked nothing like a standard MTV veejay. That just made him relatable. Pinfield was the fellow down the hall in the varsity dormitory the one whose extraordinary collection of cassettes and vinyl appeared to grow by the day.
Pinfield, who lives in Harrison, never lost his on-camera happiness or his deference for musical lead runners. And he cultivated a simple connection with musicians, which made for some of the most relaxed, natural interview segments in the network's history.
Pinfield left "120 Minutes" in 1999 ; in 2003, it was canceled. The show's amalgam of offbeat videos, choice classic cuts, clockwork imagery and interview segments was on occasion copied by other video programs. But no successor to "120 Minutes" ever appeared. It is arguable that YouTube and other free video-sharing sites on the internet are that successor, and that "120 Minutes" is now not obligatory.
Last week, though, MTV revived the show and placed Pinfield back in his customary command position. It has even put the deejay's name in the show's handle. "120 Minutes with Matt Pinfield" will air monthly on MTV2 at one a.m. On Saturdays, and episodes will stream afterward on mtvhive.com. (The first episode, which was shot in part at the Arlene's Corner shop nightclub in Manhattan, is currently on the site.)
Pinfield, who deejayed at the Tune Bar in New Brunswick in the early '90s, is enraptured about the break. He thinks the time is good for the program's resurrection.
"In the old days of '120 Minutes,' unless you had some unbelievable state-of-the-art rock radio stations in your neighborhood, you could not hear these songs," claims Pinfield. "Now it is the opposite problem. There's so much information. What's needed is a curator, a filter, a reliable place to go."
A television program, he advises, is suitable better than a music blog or an algorithm-driven service such as Pandora.
"A lot of those sites lack that private thing. Who has a year, or a week, to go thru 1,000 websites?"
Ahead Of HIS TIME
Pinfield's call to leave "120 Minutes" after 5 successful years on the programme was lead to by his wish to carry on looking forward. He was one of the originators of farmclub.com, a short lived web site tethered to a real life show on USA that attempted to match aspiring musicians with record labels.
Pinfield sees likenesses between farmclub.com and social networking platforms such as Myspace and Bandcamp, which eventually did alter the relationships between imprints, artists and fans.
"It was one of the first compound projects," says Pinfield, who relocated to Los Angeles to work on farmclub.com. "I did that with Jimmy Iovine, and I learned so much in those years. It was before its time, really."
It was also similar in scope to "120 Minutes." At base, farmclub.com attempted to do a similar thing the alternative video show did : introduce underexposed music to a mass audience. Pinfield was incentivized by the same desire that prompts pop fans to play their new findings for their pals, or that compels all good deejays to break out fresh vinyl. He is apprised of something rare, surprising, and maybe even shocking, and he is driven to share it with as many folk as practicable.
"Everything's become so subgenre-fied," says Pinfield. "Pop radio has its formula, and that true passion of individuality becomes lost. There must be a destination on the Tv and online for musical creativity.".
The first "120 Minutes" was controlled by white males in rock and roll bands, but on this occassion, hip hop will have a place at the table, too. The first version of the show featured interviews with Alexis Krauss of Big Apple fuzz-pop act Sleigh Bells ( a group influenced heavily by the 1st wave of "120 Minutes" bands ) and Brooklyn rap ironists Das Extremist. Emcees Lupe Fiasco and Theophilus London both of whom have new albums out this summer also rapped with Pinfield. As per Pinfield's genre-bending mission, London called Smiths figurehead Morrissey "one of the illest rappers."
"The diversity has always made the show special," says Pinfield. "It remained true to what was great about free-form radio in the '60s and '70s. It was open season, and anyone who was driving their own boat was welcome. It might be hard rock or some casual laid back, folky thing. The bands might be big or absolutely unknown. We usually need to give the long shot a shot."
That said , there's not as much room on "120 Minutes" as there used to be.
On a common show in 1988, twenty to twenty-five videos would be aired. "120 Minutes with Matt Pinfield" cuts the expected number of clips down to 12 to 14. The rest of the time is filled up with interviews, which are busy with jump cuts and even occasional cheeky flash animations. A program already noted for its velocity has picked up speed.
"You still see the full videos," says Pinfield. "The show has not lost the music information or the great stories from bands. I like the pacing because it keeps things exciting."
EXILE FROM WRXP
The resurrection of "120 Minutes" comes at a difficult moment for Pinfield.
The deejay had been the primary on-air personality at WRXP 101.9, the radio station that brought the choice rock format back to the Big Apple metropolitan area.
Early this summer, WRXP was sold to an out-of-town radio multinational that instantly converted the station to a talk format.
All of the station's rock deejays were given their walking papers.
"It's intensely disappointing," announces Pinfield, "and I know our listeners are bummed out now that they do not have a radio station to hear new artists. Still, those 3 years at RXP were superb, and I'm grateful for them. These things happen in the radio business."
Pinfield insists that the sale and conversion of WRXP had little to do with sales or ratings. For the veejay, the successfulness of RXP, however fleeting, demonstrated that an alternative rock station can work in N. Y City.
"What I am in hope of is that somebody else with a signal will see our ratings, and come to a decision to move into the market with a new rock station," claims Pinfield. "I'm good to go. I could be waiting for that call" as reported tagza.com.
