In this episode of **Beat Motel**, Andrew and the eloquently deranged **Spamuel Rage** dive deep into the delightful chaos of _Great Bands, Terrible Decisions_, and the unexpected tangents of _Multiple Songwriters in One Band_. Expect loud opinions, questionable facts, and unfiltered rants about music that might just leave you scratching your head—and, if you're like Andrew, maybe scratching something else too. The dynamic duo kicks off by discussing inappropriate use of toenails (yes, that's a thing) and eventually stumble through topics like: - **Riff of the Week**: From obscure bands like "The Barbarians of California" to classics with questionable re-recording choices (_Johnny Cash, we're looking at you_), it's a musical rollercoaster. - **Troll Attacks**: Apparently, people online think they're AI-generated… which begs the question, why would anyone make this mess on purpose? - **Cannibal Corpse**: Yes, they talk about _Cannibal Corpse_ and their "delicate" approach to songwriting. Really. - **Wu-Tang Clan Skits**: Are they iconic or just disruptive nonsense? Andrew's got some strong opinions. - **Oasis**: Should Andy Bell have even been allowed near Oasis? Why does Noel Gallagher love this album so much? Discuss. Also featured: **The Doors' worst circus tune** and **Against Me!'s snare drum debacle**, because what's a music podcast without some hardcore nitpicking? This episode's as unfiltered as it gets—bad jokes, crude hints, and plenty of nonsense that'll make you wonder why you're still listening. But hey, that's why it's fun! ### Riffs of the week #### Dr Sam's Riff - The Barbarians of California - 'Bazooka' (opening) #### Andrew's Riff - The Smile - Zero Sum (opening) ### Dr Sam's track choices 1. fIREHOSE - Can't Believe (0.13) 2.

RIOT FEST SERIES! Against Me! is playing TWO full albums and we talk about them! 12 years separate these two albums and you can tell the differences obviously, but both albums are fantastic in their own way! This format is called 3-2-1
We've had 10 years of Death Cab For Cutie's "Narrow Stairs," so naturally, it was time for a big, exhaustive track-by-track. The hosts talk the album's key 4-5-6 stretch of tracks, they argue the merits of the first single's long running time, while then attempting to settle the big question surrounding the record. Just how long was Benjamin Gibbard's hair during this period? Producer Britton Rozzelle guests and brags about his "Rock Band" skills. Error: The Against Me! album referenced and which has many, many pressings is "Reinventing Axl Rose."
