Summary and Format
Most of the videos are from the '80s and early '90s, but occasionally videos from the '70s artists such as The Clash and The Jam and mid-'90's artists such as Pulp and The Presidents of the United States of America are featured. A majority of the included videos feature bands on major labels, as well as a few from independent label artists (such as early R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü, Camper Van Beethoven, and others).
The show is often compared to the original 120 Minutes, which had essentially the same format, although at the time the videos were mostly brand new, and used to air on MTV. 120 Minutes later evolved into Subterranean on MTV2.

Famous quotes containing the word summary:
“Product of a myriad various minds and contending tongues, compact of obscure and minute association, a language has its own abundant and often recondite laws, in the habitual and summary recognition of which scholarship consists.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
