Why can't our favourite artists get it right more of the time, with a lot more consistency? Why did that third album blow like a supercharged vacuum cleaner? Why do Metallica suck (most of the time).
In this episode Andrew Culture is joined by Dan Callis to answer questions that really matter.

“Watcha talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?” (Spelling as stylised by Google) Said Gary Coleman as his character Arnold Jackson in the sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. Far be it from us to analyse the racial and other identity-based issues bought up by the existence and popularity of that catchphrase and the related sitcom, rather it is a point of departure. It’s about capturing attention, jarring you out of your complacent listening, about refusing to be put in the background. Sam is back from his endless holiday seeking, watch an April snowstorm out of his window, and needs something to capture his attention away from the question of how to get a child home. That is a strange line. That is a great one. That is a ponderous what. What ARE they talking about? Does Willis know? Join us, again, as we ponder some great opening lines. Ones that shriek “look at me”, and ones that just jar. And for some Slayer-fan bating. ‘Cos Slayer got back together, and WHO CARES? Get more Beat Motel at https://beatmotel.com/

Ever fallen in love with a band you shouldn't have fallen in love with? What bands do you really love, despite the fact that you know you should hate them. The reason you should hate the band could be ethics, aesthetics or gross incompetence. But when that band comes onto the radio, you fist pump the air and singalong like a wrongun.

ANARCHO SQUAT SAUNA!
What was that? Was that real? Is that just in my head? Where do you start with introductions to songs? Are they a part of the song, do they set the rest of it up, or are they just a side show, a distraction? Sure, there are many great introductions to songs, even if the rest of the song goes haywire, but what about those intros that stick out as a WTF?
In this episode, Andrew and Sam investigate the spooky but real world of random introductions to songs. These are introductions that either don’t seem to fit, seem tagged on, or just unedited. They both had a bit of a challenge finding them, but they come up with the goods and run the trajectory from hip hop, drug-addled Madchester types to some quite grating 2000s UK indie.
So, once again, take up your pitch fork and join them in trying to burn down the Frankensteinian labs of corporate music culture that undermine the ties that bind us. Why pay for your music to be on spotify when they don’t give you anything in return, and why vote Labour when they’re promising to manage Tory policies slightly more professionally than the Tories? Lets take a note of Kevin Rowland’s book and burn it down (not literally?).

What makes an band a band? Is it the songwriter? The singer? The relationship between the band members?
This time, we go a bit close to home. The Replacement’s are, arguably, one of the greatest acts of the 1980s, one of the greatest to emerge from the US punk scene that would eventually birth the Pixies, REM, and Nirvana. But, it all came crashing down with their last album, fuelled by professional regrets, personal losses, and the fatigue of substance abuse.
Is All Shook Down a The Replacements album? It features all four members of the line up of the time. The songs are penned by Westerberg. They have production hints ago-go that point toward the Replacements...
Yet, it was intended originally as Westerberg’s first solo album. It has a long catalogue of session musicians (including Abraham Lincoln). It doesn’t quite feel like The Replacements?
Andrew and Sam don’t know. Anything.

They said what? About who? Was that intentional? Why would they even allow to that to be released? All these questions, and more, arise when one actually starts to listen to lyrics. And, what do singers/vocalists/MCs know, hey? Do they actually think about what they say, or just whether it fits the music they’re putting their noises to? Some lyricists have been lauded as poets operating in another medium – think Bob Dylan, Shane McGowan, Cliff Richards…
This week, Andrew and Sam show off their inability to double-guess the meaning and intention of singers. They always begin hopefully, but where will it lead them? To folly. As it always does.
So, join them as they investigate the depths of Insane Clown Posse, Thin Lizzy (although AC/DC by mistake at one point), RunDMC, and so on. Go on. Please.

Part of the draw, the attraction, an aditctive element, of capitalism is that it is always presenting us with the new. We’re consistently being sold the latest technology, the latest fashion and the latest tunes. And this emphasis on endlessly new compositions is arguably a more significant marker of popular music than in other contemporary music forms, where we go for novel renditions of known music (think the latest conductor to present Mozart, or the latest (jazz) interpretation of April in Paris.
Yet, popular musicians do occasionally reinterpret their own tunes. So, this is what Andrew and Sam discuss this week – what happens when a musician remakes their own tunes. What is the motivation behind it? Is it mostly to do with contracts, or because the job isn’t done yet? What happens when a musician dedicated to the new has to spend their life performing the old and well known?

Hell is worth all that. Natural habitat. Just a rhyme without a reason.
I am the table.
This week, Sam beseeches Andrew consider Metallica as an act with depth behind their 125 million+ album sales. Sam was introduced to Metallica through his brother at the age of 10, and they became an essential touchstone to his musical experience. Andrew neglected metal until his 40s, when he had to slow down (or else), but could never quite get beyond the 1980s production of some of the classics of the genre.
So, join us as we try to get beyond the myths and hype of Metallica, and understand some of the base appeal in at least four of their albums (Ride the Lightening, Master of Puppets, … And Justice for All and the black album). Through 30-second snippets, we highlight the details perhaps glossed over, and perhaps reveal the best way to listen to Metallica: in 30-second snippets.
Sam takes all responsibility for Metallica choices, and he has more time for Load/Re-Load than Kill ‘Em All. Oh, and hardly anything from the last 24 years is mentioned.

Dingdong! Hey now, what’s that sound? IS that the sound of a 1956 Morris Minor through a midi sampler? This week, Andrew and Sam discuss SOUNDS. Zounds, batman. These sounds might range from your “oo, that’s a lovely tone” sort of music-nerd appreciation sound to your “what on the fuck is that, then?” sort of music-nerd appreciation sound.
Along they way, they discuss said tones, the use of gravity to make music, and rototoms. God knows how they have the time in the life to do this sort of thing? Probably offloading their responsibilities to their other halves. Fuck the patriarchy.
They also spend a questionably long time just reading out the name of bands who are playing Finnish festivals this year. Good stuff. They do it to you in the earhole.

Music is frequently best when it is a communal experience. This is perhaps why we go and see bands perform live the exact version of a song we know from a record, it is why we pay good money to see this, and it is spoilt by the fuppers singing along over the vocalist. I did not pay to get in to hear you sing Born in the USA.
Except, frequently, in the best of experiences (for me), it is exactly what I paid for. It’s what I want, its what I crave. It is what destroys the stage, more than any declaration by a punk band that the “stage is yours” only to be invaded by macho morons who think music should be expressed with a kick in the head. Fup you. No, the voice is ours: it is what breaks down the individualism of the modern age, it is what grounds us in the here and now: there is no past, no future, only our voices.
This week, Andrew and Sam explore the singalong. They take their fair time to get there, but they enjoy themselves in the process. And then they discover the joy of singing along not only to the vocals but riffs. RIFFS. Madness, hey.

All the best band names are taken, but dear, oh dear. Why on earth would they stick with that? This is the topic of this week's show, and that’s about it. The concern isn’t so much about the music but more just badly chosen band names.
Most seem like a bad pub idea moment. Others go way beyond that. Of course, there are the wilfully (and, to an extent, lazily) offensive: An_l C_nt, An_l Beard. But, then there’s also the bizarre, the stupid and the in-joke that’s gone on too long and taken too far. And then there’s all three.
So, once again, join Andrew and Sam as they explore some different nuances of the culture around music. This is what this podcast is really about culture around music and the loving relationship between two cis-straight white middle-class men from the UK. Big love.

Was 2023 a good year for pop'n'rock'n'hop? Was it a bad year? How do you quantify that sort of thing, anyway? It's all up to the ear of the beholder.
Andrew and Sam have probably been over exposed to harsh noises at this point, and can't understand what is conventional beauty in terms of music. Andrew wants to music out of angle grinders, and Sam talks about the nuances between punk-origin and metal-origin grindcore. Hence their choices of favourite music that came out of in 2023 is very person and not looking to impress. This, then, is a definitive list of music that we enjoyed and don't really care what others think or came top of other lists. We hope you're impressed.

What’s a drum fill? Well, it’s that bit the gorilla plays in the chocolate advert, yeah? Which is something discussed in this episode of Beat Motel, which also heralding the return of co-host Dr Sam from his travels abroad and obligations of parenthood.
So, in other words: we fill up space by talking about fills while getting rid of the fill-ins. It has also made me realise what a good name Phil is for a drummer (looking at you Phil Random of the Random Heroes).
We run the gamut, as usual, from pop to psychedelic to punk rock and the heaviest of metal fills, discussing what roles and styles of fills mean for the context they find themselves in. Neglected are some of the genius’ of the style – particularly, Dave Ghrol, but he’s got enough on his plate.
So, to sum up: we’re talking about drum fills, and Sam is back. It’s nice to talk.

Have you ever been to a gig that really made a massive impression on you? We know the answer is probably 'yes'. It's a dumb question, but what would you expect from us?
Have you ever been a gig that didn't make much of an impression on you at the time, but now that you 'get' the band in question do you wish you could travel back in time to that gig and experience it again? Now that's a far more interesting question.
Dr Sam is off on tour at the moment so for this Episode Andrew Culture is joined by special guest Martin Whiskin.

This episode is named after the feeling of post-orgasm similar to death. The moment of bare consciousness finds you after your peak. The history of pop music is resplendent with musical-about faces.
From Kraftwork giving up fingering their flutes to Finnish death metal pioneers Xsyma turning into a (more popular) indie band, plenty have given up their initial tinkering to find a more mature (and sometimes popular) sound. Yet, few have done changed their _immediately after_ their creative peak or in the face of success.
And this is exactly what Andrew and Sam explore this week. Or sort of. So, hold onto your umbrellas as they splash about in stylistic changes that upset the earbuds. Sometimes, this led to the end of their immediate career; at other times, it cemented them as genius.
