Ben Berg from Montesano, Washington has been getting a lot of media attention lately for his eBay auction of particular pop culture significance involving Pacific Northwest seminal sludge-metal act the Melvins and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana fame – The Melvan. “What is the Melvan?” What makes this beast worth $90,000 and counting?
