Black Auralities

Punk and Rock and Roll with Dr Aidan Erasmus


Listen Later

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.
