The Ledge, Episode 31: Gunk Punk

On a whim a few weeks ago, I picked up Eric Davidson's awesome book, We Never Learn: The Gunk Punk Undergut 1988-2001. Inspired by the stories of some of the raunchiest, grimy rock and roll of the past 25 years, I compiled 90 minutes of my favorite "gunk punk" treasures. Nab it from iTunes, download it here or listen to realpunkradio this Friday at 8 pm central time. Rock on, my brothers and sisters!
