Relive The MTV Of 24 Years Ago… Today


Because the Internet is magic, I am now about 30 minutes into three hours‘ worth of MTV from 1983, happily humming Huey Lewis’ “Heart and Soul” over and over like a borderline psychopath.

This guy woulda been eaten alive by a TRL crowd. Speed it up, Goodman! [Google Video via Torr]

    I don’t understand. THIS is what people are talking about when they get all weepy about the “real” MTV? Jesus…I’m going to watch “Life Of Ryan.”

    Holy fucking fucking fuck. I haven’t seen pure uncut MTV in so long–it feels so goddamn unfamiliar I’m not sure I can even recognize this as cultural product.

    Cambridge cologne sponsored the Police tour? The non-Jim Morrison Doors were out of money and shilling on their legacy by 1983? I can get the new Asia, Black Sabbath, and ZZ Top LPs for $6.99, PLUS a free poster? Holy crap!
