Meer over het boek

Utilizing the 'A-side/B-side' concept from 45 r.p.m. records, the book offers a critical exploration of overlooked aspects of popular music and media. It highlights the significance of 'B-sides'—underappreciated texts and creators that have shaped culture over the past 40 years. These works, often dismissed, play a crucial role in connecting the mainstream to its undercurrents, providing a rich context for understanding the dynamics between creators, institutions, and the music marketplace.
