This week I'm focusing on music "B-Sides," songs that were on the opposite side of single releases via records and cassettes from musical artists (it took a while before I got a CD player). Often cast aside, forgotten songs. Specifically, I'm focusing on B-Sides I used to hear on the jukebox at Papa Gino's where I worked during high school. Two whole years and I don't think the jukebox ever removed or added any music. The one selection you would hear at my job over and over every night was "Love Shack" by The B52's. I much preferred their B-side "Channel Z," which did get play on MTV but never took off the same way. I always appreciated it whenever anyone chose it over "Love Shack."
