Hello.
We have just put the finishing touches on some of our special "bsides" that will randomly appear throughout 2008. I have never been a fan of the concept of b sides as I always believed that if a song was not amazing, then it should lie dormant until it became incredible. That being said, my concept of b sides was completely changed over the course of the last couple of months as i realised that a) i was very fond of some of the tunes that just missed out on the album, and b) that there are so many forgotten songs that are crying out for a new interpretation. With regards to reinterpretation, there is a fine line between destroying a song and breathing new life into to. So it was a delicate situation. To decide which songs were appropriate to cover, we spent weeks and weeks listening to all the weird and "flop" releases by all our favourite artists and acts that people had said "you should listen to this" and never did. Not surprisingly, we found many tunes that deserve to be heard and hours and hours of worthy music that blew our minds. I guess that it's easy to listen to the stuff that you're used to, but occasionally it's worth going to those weird places. Maybe it's best to never go back...
AB.
