B is for B-sides is a 12 track album by Less Than Jake. It is composed of songs recorded for the album Anthem that did not make the release. The album was released in 2004 by Sire Records. The original plan for the release of the 12 songs on the album was to release four 3-song EPs from different labels. Warner/Sire did not like the idea, so they were compiled on this album instead.

Jay Frenzal refers to Jason Whalley of Frenzal Rhomb, who also features on the track. A.S.A.O.K. is an acronym meaning "All Systems A-OK".
