B-Side Breakdowns
Album pages ask “Would you spin it again?” When you answer, we store a cookie in your browser for one year so the page remembers your answer. We also store a scrambled version of your connection’s IP address, which can’t be turned back into the address itself, so each listener can answer only once.
If you use Report a problem, your message, and your email address if you choose to include it, are sent to bsideguys@gmail.com. We use them only to look into the problem and reply to you.
Album cover images
Album covers load from the Cover Art Archive (coverartarchive.org), Wikipedia’s image servers (Wikimedia), Apple Music or Deezer, usually through WordPress.com’s image service. Your browser connects to those servers to display the images, which shares your IP address with them, as with any image on the web.
