So the website of one of my favorite music magazines, Magnet, has started an ongoing series called 120 Reasons to Live, in which they'll list their 120 favorite videos from MTV's 120 Minutes from back in the day. They're only up to #5, but it's been an interesting list so far (I totally didn't expect to see the Go-Betweens so soon), and, long story short, it's a series I should have written for them.
BUT!
If you go to that site and you see the introduction saying "MAGNET raids the vaults to resurrect our 120 favorite..." and click on the 'vaults' link? It'll take you here, to the 120 Minutes Archive page, where you can look at past playlists all the way back from 1986 to the last show in 2002.
And if you look at who supplied some of those really early playlists from early 1987 onwards?
Yup. Yours truly. ;)
I'd found the site ages ago and realized I could assist, what with all the times I'd taped the show. Finding out that my favorite music magazine has used info from a website that I'd had a hand in is kind of a neat feeling. :)
And thinking about this, and given the age group that's reading this (and especially those who grew up with the bands in the first place)? Kinda makes me feel that the time is perfect for me to write my Walk in Silence project. :)
