My first Five Songs Blog post in a long long time. This one is on B-sides which are better than their A-sides.
As my posts tend to be very long, I have decided to post this one in instalments. First off, a lesser-loved Radiohead B-side.

Fan of the podcast here. I made this Mixcloud thing, the last hour of which features bands I heard via your show. Though obviously I'm not as big a fan as I thought as I kept referring to it as From Here Knows When. D'oh! Sorry about that.
