Punk and Rock and Roll with Dr Aidan Erasmus

This episode features the incredible scholar of sound, music, and history, Dr Aidan Erasmus. It starts with me, Wilton, ranting in a part 2 of sorts to the last episode. We discuss punk music and aesthetics, rock and roll, South Africa, jazz, and we absolutely pour out our love for the band Blk Jks. I couldn't bring myself to do another whole episode on Afrikaner nationalism, but I will be teaching a class soon where some of that history will be covered in part. Here are some links to things mentioned in the show.
