Summary

***This show is brought to you by DistroKid. Go to http://distrokid.com/vip/the500 for 30% off your first year!*** The B-52’s self-titled zigged when everyone else was zagging. In a time when the band’s new wave and punk contemporaries had a more somber tone in their music, the B-52s were writing songs about aliens and beach creatures. Paul joins Josh to run through the classic tracks from their debut album.
