While my listeners may have expected a deep dive on Grungegaze today, I was chatting w/ our production coordinator Priansh and his friend Rajan about the phenomenology of Wheatus' seminal classic "Teenage Dirtbag", and they decided to join me on air! They "graced" the airwaves with a live cover and included some personal anecdotes and musings on a song that still resonates despite being released 20 years ago.
