5. Sleeping on the Sidewalk
01:15:37||Season 13, Ep. 5Ten songs down on News of the World and only one to go after this week's episode! There's no Freddie. We're Freddieless. Bereft of Fred. There is a death, an absence, verily a Freddie-sized vacuum on this song. So, the question needs to be answered, will that dickhead Randy champion or dust it??? You're just gonna have to wait to find out I guess! We had a great little question, from our pal Dan Flett, about how hard it is to write lyrics without music or music without lyrics, a la Elton John and Bernie Taupin, so we get into that at the end of this week's show.If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Napping on the pavement" or possibly, "City boy with trumpet sleeps rough!"Today's episode looks at another Brian song and one that he takes lead vocals on, in that dark, bleak Freddie-less void! It's "Sleeping on the Sidewalk" from "News of the World"!NOTE: Skip forward to 20:30 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The song at the end of the episode is a little bit of bespoke noodling especially for this episode from the mind and fingers of The Cardinal, Randy Woods.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, Bluesky, and Discord!

4. The Night Comes Down
01:14:52||Season 13, Ep. 4It's all kicking off! We've been bollocked by one of our listeners for not knowing enough about Marc Martel. We feel scolded and recalcitrant and we won't let it happen again. The next time we cover a Marc Martel song, we'll give a much more comprehensive bio on him! We'll even try to track down his mom to ask some very searching questions about Marc's teenage bedroom habits! Also, there seems to a mutiny brewing in the Scottish highlands as the otherwise mellow and decent Ruddy Rutherford seems to be planning an insurrection of sorts with a crew of ne'er do wells and malcontents! Oh - and we talked about Queen for a bit.If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "The night comes down every night Bri" or possibly, "The song is brill!"Today's episode looks at a song that predates the Trident sessions, Brian's "The Night Comes Down"NOTE: Skip forward to 19:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The song at the end of the episode is a little bit of bespoke noodling especially for this episode from the mind and fingers of The Cardinal, Randy Woods.

How Many Kings
01:03:14||Season 13, Ep. 3Wait, wait, wait! It's not Christmas! What the heck Chappers! We're delving into the world of Marc Martel and his exceptional voice this week with the opening song from 2009's album of the same name. Is there any festive spirit left in March for the boys? Tune in to find out!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "How Many Kings", or possibly, "Zero or One. Take your pick!".The tenth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by the wonderful Sarah Chapman and is the work of Canadian vocalist, Marc Martel; How Many Kings.

Nevermore
01:01:52||Season 13, Ep. 2Episode 113 wherein Kev discovers that he has a pretty valuable 7 incher on his hands. ON his hands, not in his hands. Get yer minds out of the gutter. That's later..... Anyway, there's all the usual shenanigans from all the usual suspects and we just have to keep winning pucks in the corners and getting shots to the net and if we just execute the game plan and give our goalie a chance, I'm sure we'll sports better than the other team sportses and emerge victorious! It's been a long day, this is all I've got.If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “There’s no living in my life any more” or possibly “Queen forever more!”Today's episode looks at a Freddie's soaringly beautiful interlude on Side Black of Queen II, "Nevermore"NOTE: Skip forward to 21:48 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The song at the end of the episode is the lead track from Randy Woods Band's second album. It's a little number called "Alphabet City".

Don't Stop Me Now
01:15:51||Season 13, Ep. 1If anyone is looking for Christmas gift ideas for The Cardinal, he'd love a 1967 Gretsch White Falcon. Or, if you have a way of acquiring one, one of Jimi Hendrix's Strats. And if you want to start receiving these episodes by tape cassette, what in the hell is wrong with you? (But, Kev is somewhat serious about doing a limited run!) We talk about wandering around Belfast armed, why cold is sometimes just cold, and how exactly did Queen write such a banger with barely any guitar involvement!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “I’m having such a good time”, or possibly, “I’m having a ball”Today's episode looks at a Freddie song that has been streamed over 2 billion times on Spotify and isn't Bohemian Rhapsody; "Don't Stop Me Now"NOTE: Skip forward to 21:48 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The song at the end of the episode is the utterly brilliant "Disenfranchised You" from Randy Woods Band's debut album.

The Hitman
01:23:05||Season 12, Ep. 10Did you know that Randy went to hitman school? How about the fact that Kev feels that consistency is key when it comes to being an asshole. We also discuss what type of music a psychopath might listen to and what music we've been listening to other than Queen. The Cardinal is complaining about football again and Kev is frankly getting a little tired of his whining! I don't know if this partnership is going to last!If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "This song is brill" or possibly, "Hitman school"Today's episode looks at a Freddie song that was assisted by Brian and John and taken from the Innuendo album; "The Hitman"NOTE: Skip forward to 23:47 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The song at the end of the episode is a very rough mix of Kev, his brother Dan, and his Dad, John, playing a White Stripes song back in 2016. It was recorded remotely and then shoved into Dropbox to mix. Very badly. This one should probably go to the Cardinal at some point to be reworked... but anyway, it's a bit of lo-fi fun and it's titled "Effect and Cause" and you can find it here : https://youtu.be/SRRD-m43xrgIf you want to listen to the song The Delegator's brilliant cover of Nowhere to Run you can find it here: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=E3p7yDec38o and if you want to watch the clip Kev was talking about of Mike Portnoy playing Shake It Off, you'll find that here: https://youtu.be/cHl_gsd0OR0Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, Bluesky, and Discord!

Was It All Worth It
01:20:05||Season 12, Ep. 9You know that saying "Go big or go home"? What if you were to do both? Well, that's what Queen attempted with the final track on The Miracle. They fired up the old Kurzweil, made Roger play a real drum kit and, if you can believe it, actually sat in a room as a band and recorded this one together. One of our listeners really sticks the boot in, so we return it in kind, and Randy is pondering an SPR move into the political sphere. It's not a good idea. At all. Plus, Ruddy has a question for us and we think you'll like it!If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Not sure how I feel about the old Kurzweil" or possibly, "I hope Freddie thought it was worth it"Today's episode looks at the final track on The Miracle, with Freddie wondering, "Was It All Worth It".NOTE: Skip forward to 21:54 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is taken from UK show, The Last Leg and features Alex Horne and The Horne Section singing a soulful, nostalgic song about the simple country life.
