01. Seasons Of Faves

The B-Sides steps into the pool of artists that have informed our senses of self. Who’s stayed with us for a season? Who’s stayed with us for a reason? Why do we like what we like, and when does musical taste shift? How do we know the difference between what’s ours, and what never really was? And what’s at stake in these questions and their answers?
