We're back with the second PSP episode, and to say this is a must-listen is an understatement... 

From the Marquis de Sade to Yoko Ono, from Jordan in London 1976 to Bertolt Brecht’s Pirate Jenny in Berlin 1928, from the art of smashing an instrument to play vs. work—Jessica Schwartz and Paul Hollins met up with Marie Arleth Skov to talk all things punk and art history. We talked about the rejection of the male genius and the negation of the notion of progress, about how sometimes in punk, the false is true, and the surreal is real, about the isolation of West Berlin, and TOO MUCH FUTURE in the GDR. And just a little bit about Ani f*cking DiFranco.
