HOZIER & HIS INFLUENCES
Hozier's new album drops next week, but you can hear it now on iTunes First play: https://itunes.apple.com/us/station/listen-in-itunes/idra.914771024
After listening to his voice, song structure and musicianship, I found myself interested in his backstory and his influences. After breaking down elements of his music and studying up, I've put together a playlist featuring the artists and sounds that have inspired him from Delta blues, jazz, soul, motown, blue-eyed soul and more. Have a listen to Hozier: Influences here: https://listen.beatsmusic.com/playlists/pl229674020067475968
Oh to be a bystander in this room!!!! This picture is amazing!

GERARD WAY’S “SONGS THAT INSPIRED “HESITANT ALIEN” PLAYLIST on BEATS MUSIC
https://listen.beatsmusic.com/playlists/pl228208901953290240
“These songs inspired either the writing or recording of “Hesitant Alien”. Or both.”
1. Brian Eno – Needles In The Camel’s Eye »» To me, this was the starting point for how I wanted Hesitant Alien to sound. You can hear bits of it in "Action Cat". I still want to figure out this drum sound.
2. David Bowie – Station to Station »» I thought about Bowie's Berlin period a lot when making this album. I was thinking of it when I wrote "The Bureau".
3. Iggy Pop – Sister Midnight »» Iggy spent time recording with Bowie in Berlin, and The Idiot is an album that came out of it. I was inspired by this album cover for the cover to HA and also the look.
4. Supergrass – Caught By The Fuzz »» I feel like you can hear this song's influence mainly in "Millions", especially the ending bass-line. I remember being in art school when this came out and how young it felt, how pure.
5. Pulp – Common People »» Lyrically this song always resonated with me. I was able to completely relate to being a kid from NJ that just wanted out. England and NJ didn't seem that different to me. Lyrically I also took a nod from this to talk about my own hometown experiences in "Drugstore Perfume".
6. The Jesus And Mary Chain – Just Like Honey »» You can also hear some of their influence on the album and more specifically, "Drugstore Perfume". I was completely enchanted by their production and approach.
7. Superball – Helium »» Mary Timony is one of my guitar heroes, and I thought about her runs in this song and also "Medusa" off of her album "The Dirt of Luck" when I was recording "Zero Zero".
8. Sleater Kinney – I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone »» I love how "Call The Doctor Sounds". I love the playing, I love the vocals, I love the sentiments. I thought about this band a lot when I was making HA.
9. Wire – I Am The Fly »» I think you can hear a lot of Wire in a lot of bands' music. They are extremely influential, and so far ahead of their time that their albums, down to the sound and the arrangements, still pop up to this day. "No Shows" was really influenced by Wire.
10. Blur - Sing »» Something about the Trainspotting soundtrack is so special, so eclectic but powerful. I think its eclectic nature has rubbed off on my own music, as my albums tend to be very varied. This song really inspired me with "Brother".
11. The Pixies – Alec Eiffel »» I feel like "Maya The Psychic" owes a lot to this song. I was definitely chasing Frank Black's lyrical abstraction. I have always loved all of the tones, from every instrument in this band, and I chased that kind of thing all over the album.
12. Teenage Fanclub – The Concept »» I felt like sometimes when I was making HA I was trying to capture the spirit of this band. I don't know that I ever got there but "Bandwagonesqe" remains one of my most listenable albums of all time. I love this band so much.
13. Lou Reed – Walk On The Wild Side »» This song is a classic, and the big source of inspiration to the lyrics of "Get The Gang Together". I thought of a group of people in their 20's that used to hang out and what happened to all of them by the time they were 35.
14. The Breeders – New Year »» Gigantic influence on me. I bought "Last Splash" on cassette when it came out, sometime after buying "Trompe Le Monde". I love everything about this album, I love the personal yet odd lyrics, the sound of everything. Their willingness it seemed, to try anything always stuck with me.
15. Morrissey – Sister I'm A Poet »» An artist I have admired for most of my life, Morrissey has always spoken to me and been extremely important. His songs around this period had elements of Spy, but also this jangly, freight-train aspect, that I sought to capture in "How It's Going To Be".
ASKING ALEXANDRIA’S “LIFE ON THE ROAD” PLAYLIST on BEATS MUSIC
Listen on Beats Music: https://listen.beatsmusic.com/playlists/pl221045699008135680
“Moving On is a very personal song to us about our life on the road. More specifically, it’s about the hardships we face and deal with while touring. Obviously, it's tough, but we love what we do and there are some incredible aspects to touring that we wouldn't change for the world. This playlist showcases different aspects of our lives whilst out on tour: the good, the bad, the ugly, the illegal and the down right obnoxious. Welcome to tour.” – Ben Bruce, Asking Alexandria
1. Bon Jovi - Wanted Dead Or Alive Lyrically this song is very similar to "Moving On". The subject matter is the same. It's all about life on the road and how lonely it can be at times.
2. White Snake – Here I Go Again This song describes exactly how I feel the first day of every tour I go on. I'm almost in disbelief that I have to leave home again in search of the same thing. But something keeps me going and I know I'll never stop.
3. Aerosmith – Livin’ On The Edge This is an awesome rock tune about things being difficult, coping with struggles, and just questioning the world and what you are doing. This song has definitely had me thinking while I’m up at night on tour and helped to inspire the creation of "Moving On".
4. Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God This is another song similar to “Moving On” in the sense that it highlights the struggles you face on the road; being away from your loved ones.
5. Blake Shelton - The More I Drink I've picked this song because while "Moving On" is obviously a song written about the road and how lonely it can be, this song reminds me of the other side of touring where we are all up until sunrise just drinking and having a good time together!
6. Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild This is one of my favorite touring songs. It describes that delinquent part of me that will never grow up -- that messed up, rock n roll kid that does as he pleases every night out on the road. It's a part of me that will never ever grow up.
7. Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69 This song is like a secret drug for me when I'm out on the road. If I'm ever feeling down about being away from home I just slam this song on and everyone sings along. You just can't help it! It really does keep the moral up and help you remember how much fun you should be having out on the road.
8. Deep Purple - Space Truckin' I picked this song because tours can be so long and repetitive I often lose track of where and when I am! I literally feel like I'm space truckin' -- just cruising from planet to planet!
9. Elton John - Rocket Man Lyrically this song reminds me of "Moving On", perhaps a little more drug induced though! To me it paints a similar picture: traveling far from home for work and being away a lot.
10. Asking Alexandria - The Road This song is literally the second half of "Moving On". They go hand in hand. It finishes the story that "Moving on" starts.
11. Eric Clapton – Cocaine This song is fairly self-explanatory! We tour all the time, we miss home and get tired. Gotta keep going somehow!!!
12. Free - All Right Now This is one of the coolest rock tunes ever written -- perfect for road trips and touring. It also reminds me of tour in the sense that it's very similar to a seductive mistress. It lulls you into a false sense of love and security... and then fucks you!
13. Guns N’ Roses - Welcome To The Jungle This song is basically an introduction to the world of touring. It holds true to this day!
14. Motley Crüe - Home Sweet Home This is almost the answer to "Moving On". It's the prize at the end of the road that we all look forward to after being on tour for so long.
15. Ozzy Osbourne - Mama, I'm Coming Home This is another song that hits very close to home whilst out on the road. Every day that we are away, we are missing what's going on at home; we are wondering if there is still a home waiting to greet us. But, ultimately, no matter how hard it gets or how far away a tour takes us, we know that at the end of it we will go home to our loved ones.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF MARY POPPINS!
50 years ago today, Mary Poppins premiered at the Graumans Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California.
One of the best musical movies ever made featuring the perfect Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins and the amazing Dick Van Dyke as Bert brought whimsical musical moments to the lives of millions for many generations.
To this day, I have a hard time spelling "weird" (i before e except after c...and in weird), but I have no problem spelling "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
So today I celebrate by cranking this soundtrack up to 11 and belting out all of the tracks!
Happy Birthday Mary Poppins! We love you!

The Summer of 69 by Beats Classic Rock on Beats Music
This playlist captures the sound of The Summer of 69, when Richard Nixon was President, the U.S. was at war with Vietnam, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, some concert promoters in upstate New York were preparing for a big show and Charles Manson became a household name. (Totally proud of this one)
Technical difficulties.

Portrait Of An American Family Turns 20
The first and only time I ever did acid, I was in ninth grade, and I stayed up all night at a friend’s house even though I had a basketball game the next day. Everything was going pretty well until we threw on Marilyn Manson’s debut album Portrait Of An American Family, which had come out earlier that year and which turns 20 today. This was not a good idea…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHINO MORENO!!!!
I love the sound of Chino Moreno's voice. The sexy, sultry, swooning sound he emits when he's singing always builds in such a way that it hits me right where it seems like it's supposed to. I've been a huge fan of the Deftones since 1997 and followed all of Chino's projects over the years, because no one sounds quite like he does.
In honor of his birthday today, (he turns 41) I made an Intro to Chino Moreno playlist that highlights some of my favorite tracks that he has done with different projects over the years.
Take a listen HERE: https://listen.beatsmusic.com/playlists/pl194234875899805696
MASTODON's new video for "HIGH ROAD" is AMAZING!!!

LINKIN PARK + BEATS MUSIC
Linkin Park's new album The Hunting Party comes out on June 17th and it is promised to be hard, heavier and raw and inspired their initial hard rock, hardcore punk, old-school hip-hop and metal roots.
In a recent press release, Mike Shinoda said “When I think of myself at 15, I think of emotions being so raw and illogical. It hadn’t been watered down by experience. I liked music that was lyrically or sonically offensive—whatever would piss my parents off. We had to get back in touch with that in order to make this record.”
Guitarist Brad Delson continued, “We had to figure out how to reimagine that in a postmodern way. We had a punk rock attitude of, ‘I don’t give a fuck, this is what I want to make.’ We wanted to do something progressive and that only we could do,” continuing, “I think one of the successes of the record is that those attitudes congealed. It’s not a return to a style or sound; it’s a return to an ethos and inspiration—one that predates us coming together as a band. It’s the result of a hunger for music that we’re not hearing anyone doing.”
With that in mind, Mike Shinoda came up with three exclusive lists for Beats Music that highlight the bands and songs that inspired the sound and texture of The Hunting Party. From classic hardcore bands like Sick Of It All, Youth Of Today and Minor Threat to heavy metal cornerstones like the Deftones, System Of A Down and Helmet to newer bands like Of Mice & Men, Death Grips, The Bronx, Gallows and Gojira, the following three playlist are an in-depth look inside the music collection that inspired Linkin Park's latest album.
