Sonic Overload 4/6/09

To mark the 15th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, this week's show begins with a rather interesting track by the Scroungers, leading into one of my favorite Nirvana songs... and there's another one later in the show. And, of course, it being Easter week, it's time for the annual salute to the crucifixion and "rebirth" of Jesus, in the tasteful manner you've come to expect from Sonic Overload.
