MEMORY HOLE: MTV'S FORGOTTEN PUNK ROCK TRAVELOGUE

When one peruses MTV in its current manifestation, it's almost impossible to believe that one is interfacing with the same entity whose employees were once capable of producing something as pure and authentic as WAY USA, the Punk Rock travelogue hosted by Tesco Vee of Meatmen infamy. 

Of course, they only shot two episodes... and neither of them ever made it to air... but still! 

Anyway, thanks to the magic of the Internets, the pilot episode of this 8mm wonder-show is now only as far away as your laptop screen. The second episode still hasn't surfaced from underground tape-circling circuit, which of course makes my longing to see it all the more intense.  

But for now, kick back with me and let Tesco Vee show you all the best parts of Charm City(TM) BALTIMORE! Infinitely quotable, absolutely cult and totally punk rock, I give you... WAY USA!!!
