Hidden, uncredited, on the B-side of Mercury Rev’s first CD single Car Wash Hair is Untitled, a 30-minute bad acid comedown of scathing guitar loops and low sine waves, soured by repeated screams of “I want to be inside you”. New blog: b-side.website/2025/03/31/un…

Performed at New York’s Baseball Hall of Fame on a bat-shaped guitar, Centerfield’s broad appeal put Creedence Clearwater Revival songwriter John Fogerty back in the game. Its riff-based homage helped A-side Rock And Roll Girls into the US charts, 40 years ago this month.

Released #OTD 60 years ago, Who’ll Be The Next In Line was a passive-aggressive tune about broken hearts. The nagging, nervous flip of Ev’rybody’s Gonna Be Happy, it continued the Kinks tradition for B-sides better than their A-sides (and later gained top billing in the US).

A game-changer that set the pop-disco template for the remainder of Hot Chocolate’s career, You Sexy Thing didn’t initially float the boat of super-producer Mickie Most. He made it B-side of Blue Night #OTD 50 years ago before having a change of heart.

North Carolina songwriter Ben Folds didn’t delete the expletives with his uninhibited piano take on Dr Dre’s Bitches Ain’t Shit, B-side of Landed. Released 20 years ago, it quickly became a live favourite. Wary of getting ‘cancelled’, Folds excised it from his sets in the 10s.

The greatest song of hope was initially given B-side status. A Change Is Gonna Come came to Sam Cooke fully-formed, following an altercation at a whites-only motel. That incident reprised itself with tragic consequences prior to its release, 60 years ago, on the flip of Shake.

An occasional book recommendation to those who love a book recommendation. I didn't quite know what to expect of this- well, I did. I expected some trashy bloggers treatment of grim sites of death written in the glib style of Hello. BUT. It was an informative revelation.

"Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it".

Personal favourite from his interview in the book: "I still think that [it] would make dating easier if every person, when they turned twenty-one, had to get a tattoo of their favorite director."
