S01 E111
This week on Beat Motel, Andrew’s joined by Jago for a full-on rummage through the dusty vinyl crate of movie soundtracks. It’s soundtracks, but not as you know them—Michael Caine movies, unexpected Quincy Jones bangers, and one or two synth-heavy horrors. Along the way, they rant about fake live albums, discuss why Portishead’s “wrong” notes sound so right, and reminisce about teenage Grebo grievances.
Somehow, it spirals into video game scores, the unexpected brilliance of 1930s musicals, and the sheer absurdity of Iggy Pop glitter-riding audiences. And yes, someone has beef with The Stooges’ production—sacrilege? Tune in and decide.
Grab a cuppa, roll up your sleeves, and dive headfirst into the chaos. Expect the usual mix of music nerdery, dry humor, and head-scratching tangents.
