Spotify have turned down our appeal and is removing the Beat Motel content from their podcast syndication platform (creators). We are using short music clips as part of our music discussion podcast. This is somewhat problematic. YouTube seems fine though!

I'm not a huge fan of Rush, but this tribute band is astonishing!
There’s a theory that Stone Henge might have been built as a huge instrument

Some bands are better as documentaries. Harsh? Maybe. True? Absolutely. From Metallica’s biscuit tin drums to Bros-level delusion, we dive in. Hummus, CIA rock conspiracies & stretchy testicles await.

I listened to the Crippling Alcoholism album after you lot talked about it on the podcast. It’s remarkable and unnerving in equal parts. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Today I learned that Harry Secombe's 80s TV show was NOT called Highlander.

Monda Krimligo rehearsed at Black Cactus in Essex tonight. We saw a song chair
16.06.2025 21:59 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I did indeed. I bumped into one of the guitarists (David) and asked if he fancies being on the Beat Motel podcast. I think he was amused because the podcast is named after a Prolapse track :)

I forgot that Hopsters takeout is sold in a milk bottle. I’m the seaside hillbilly.

Episode 132 of Beat Motel is out now, and it is all about Forbidden Music
What happens when you love music but live with people who have ears? This week, Andrew and Dr. Sam dive headfirst into the steaming skip bin of Forbidden Music; those tracks that are so loathed or are just baffling.
