Tesco Vee has been at the forefront of punk since the days when a Mohawk and a spiked collar was a political statement, not a fashion statement...although the only political statement Tesco would make is that "Politics Suck."

As he told Skin Central: "All the other bands were railing against Reagan and social injustice, and I was writing songs about poop and boners."

He founded the legendary punk 'zine Touch and Go while working as an elementary school teacher in Michigan in 1979, then watched his creation grow into a rallying point for fledgling punk and hardcore scenes scattered across the USA and eventually into a record label.

He's also the front man for The Meatmen, a punk rock powerhouse with an outrageous live show and hilariously politically incorrect songs like Camel Jockeys Suck, Blow Me Jah, French People Suck, and Lesbian Death Dirge.

Now Tesco's infectious brand of potty-mouthed humor has been re-introduced to the world with the reformation of The Meatmen in 2008 and the collection of every issue of his famous 'zine into the book Touch and Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-'83, published by Bazillion Points.

We caught up with Tesco driving around his home state of Michigan, and he proved himself to be very much a man after Mr. Skin's own hard-on.

More after the jump!

It's a plethora of new releases on DVD today, from a rare cult favorite out for the first time, to a bunch of horror classics, to Heather Graham, lezzing it up!

Boogie Woogie
It's plenty of boobie-woobies in Boogie Woogie (2009) as perennial skin favorite Heather Graham drops her top to go girl-girl with Jaime Winstone. With bonus boobage from Gemma Atkinson and Meredith Ostrom, this art flick is a real work of art.

Bored to Death
Season one of the Zach Galiafinakis/Jason Schwartzman comedy Bored to Death is new on DVD today. The cast is dude-centric, but nudecomer Jessica Blank has a drop-dead sexy nude scene in one episode that will leave you stiff as a board... to death.

Return of the Living Dead (Blu-Ray)
Finally out on Blu-Ray, it's horror classic Return of the Living Dead (1985). Scream queen dream Linnea Quigley stars as a punk chick named Trash, but she may as well be called "Gash" thanks to her naked dance on top of a grave. Unfortunately, she's wearing a fake beaver, but the T&A is scary-hot!

Carrie (DVD/Blu-Ray Combo)
Stephen King's Carrie (1976) gets the DVD/Blu-Ray combo pack treatment, so you can compare and contrast foxy firecrotch Sissy Spacek in the shower. I can see her dirty pillows!

Jacob's Ladder (Blu-Ray)
Tim Robbins is a shell-shocked vet in Jacob's Ladder (1990), but with this new Blu-Ray version of the flick, you'll be less interested in PTSD and more interested in B-cups from Elizabeth Peña. Your own peña will dig it!

Terminal Island
For the first time EVER on DVD, it's the weird, wild, controversial Tom Selleck movie Terminal Island (1973), about a bunch of murderous inmates exiled on an island. No Oz flashbacks here--there's plenty of mind-blowing female nudes in the form of Barbara Leigh and Phyllis Davis. It's so freakily sexy, it's criminal.
