AMONG THE VDEODROMEDARIES: NEAR THE SAHARA OF THE BOZART

Metal videos seem to be pop-ping up on my tube more frequently this week than they have for several months, or maybe I'm just getting more skilled on the ol' cable box. Punching off MTV into USA's Radio 1990 usually guarantees something a little bit different, and now that the latter series has instituted its "Heavy Metal Wednesday" theme shows, I know I can count on at least one half hour of metal yids per week.
