RH&TE were on 120 Minutes and Post-Modern MTV fairly regularly, including a few performances. Not quite The Cure-R.E.M.-Depeche Mode regularly, but XTC regularly (and Nevermind did kick Perspex Island off the top of the College Charts after it had tied the record for most weeks there, which is the one thing Robyn can always say he almost has in common with Michael Jackson). Robyn also guest hosted 120 at least once, during the interlude between Dave Kendall and Lewis Largent; premiered a video by one of his daughter's favorite bands who were due to guest host the following week. Debuted the video to "I Feel You" by one of Maisie's favorites at the time, Depeche Mode, who in what could definitely be considered foreshadowing of their upcoming tour (later named the most decadant rock tour ever, so eat that Kiss!) were then too hungover the next week to handle their guest hosting slot alone, so Matt Pinfield had to be brought in to keep them from falling over. I remember too much useless bullshit. "I love how (coffee) makes me feel.
