With commercials! (Some of which have Big Country playing in 'em.) Yes, in a sort of OldStand-meets-Video Hangover hangover, three hours of vintage MTV have made it online, and it's amazing to see again how not slick it is, and how likable Mark Goodman was: "Nobody here has ever been to London anyway," when discussing a Doors convention. A convention, "in the Beatles convention sense." We get Martha Quinn references, a Twisted Sister poster, MTV's special Police '82 American Tour shirt, Loverboy tour dates, and, of course, the videos: "Sharp Dressed Man," "Talking In Your Sleep," "I'm Still Standing," "Rebel Yell" ("The brand new one from Billy Idol..."), "Cum On Feel The Noize," "Back On The Chain Gang," Macca and MJ, "Heart & Soul," etc. Strange how we remember every move Huey Lewis makes in the latter ... and how cool is Knight Ranger's keyboardist? If someone has a second can they call 1-800-HOT-ROCK and see if it still works? Are you ready?
