  So, let us dig through our tapes and see what we have.  I have a best of IRS cutting edge with such classics as Run DMC rapping live off the back of a truck driving through LA (I think that is where) and the Minutemen.  It was a brilliant show.

Wasn't that show or some other vintage mtv show hosted by the singer of the fleshtones?  Or am I totally tripping here?
 
 *duh*  just read the post just a few above this one.  Shut up, me!  Now move along folks, nothing to see here.

Yep, is both.  Peter Z was great as a host.  
 
 Also have some classic Night Flight bits from USA network.  That show ruled!

  I also miss  IRS's The Cutting Edge, the MTV show that pre-dated 120'. Pete Zaremba of The Fleshtones hosted.

I would kill for those tapes.  I had a bunch of them taped for a while, but over time they've disappeared.  Those were SO fun.  God bless Zaremba....
 
 I emailed MTV2 about cutting Subterranean to an hour -- it's nuts.  Whaddya gonna do. [/b]

Ya know, they're putting everything that was ever on TV on DVD these days (how many of you have been snagging the  King of Queens sets?   :roll:  ). MTV's sitting on a goldmine, and not just with the  Cutting Edge stuff. Of course, the song licensing might hike the price a little but the real classic stuff could be licensed for a lot less than your typical TRL hits.

Just after posting this I realized that IRS Records probably owns the  Cutting Edge stuff. But that doesn't mean it can't be DVD'ed. C'mon Miles!

The sad thing is that MTV had that fire in either the late 80s or early 90s that burned up a lot of their archival stuff.  A lot has been lost to the ages because of that.
