  • 7. At Last

    01:03:25||Season 21, Ep. 7
    We're hitting a lot of the greatest female vocalists of all time lately. Dolly, then Billie, now Etta! Who next? Taytay? Sabrina? That Lana Del Rey person who spins Ian's doughnut? Who knows. It depends what you lot throw at us! We discuss artists owning songs they cover and the possibility that Deep Purple may have to now retire one of their own songs for this very reason!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "At Last", or possibly, "Ain't This Great?"The twenty ninth installment in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by the long-suffering Steve Ursell. We're going back to the 60s to cover another one of the great ladies of jazz and soul, Etta James. NOTE: Skip forward to 21:40 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The clip at the end of the episode is the fantastic "Charisma Free" from Randy Woods Band's self-titled debut. You should go listen to it repeatedly and you can do that here : https://youtu.be/s5bhRgcAjqI

  • 6. I'm Going Slightly Mad

    01:06:16||Season 21, Ep. 6
    There was young fella named FreddieWho died long before we were readyHe gaves us some tunesand we podcast buffoonsHave talked for four years now already!And then there was one! That's the last Freddie song off the wheel. It's the last "Innuendo" song off the wheel. It leaves only the last song from Flash Gordon left, which is the song we go out on! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I feel a million dollars” or possibly, “I'm not quite the shilling!”NOTE: Skip forward to 16:15 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is a live version of "Grow Your Love" recorded at The Bassment in Saskatoon on December 15th, 2018. Man, Randy was just a kid back then! Go check it out here; https://youtu.be/V7jCfFKD8Yg
  • 5. Stealin'

    58:26||Season 21, Ep. 5
    B B B B B B Side! Today we cover an actual bona fide B Side. Not a track that was unearthed twenty years later and slapped onto a deluxe edition. Not a song with another singer from a super famous couple of rock bands and not the seaside we like to be beside. It's another track from the The Miracle sessions and it was almost twelve minutes long in its original form! It's a light-hearted little Freddie jam that was cut up and put on the flip side of the Breakthru single. You might like it. You might not.If Kev were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Your father must have been a thief...'”, or possibly, “and I am going to catch him if it's the last thing I do. Your father's going to prison!!!!”NOTE: Skip forward to 20:57 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is a live version of World Turning by the brilliant Fleetwood Mac, from 1976. If you wanna watch it, you'll find it here : https://youtu.be/rcsYa6jFRoY
  • 4. Brighton Rock

    01:08:15||Season 21, Ep. 4
    Seaside Pod Review does not condone booking a bus trip down to Brighton to meet your secretary in some seedy little bed and breakfast two streets back from the front behind your wife, and her husband's back and having it off like a couple of hippies in the 60s! No. We recommend you stick with your partner and only do it to them. Preferably with the lights off and your socks on. Remember, Jesus is watching your spotty white arse as it goes up and down arhythmically for 4 to 6 minutes and he's not gonna be impressed if you're pumping anyone other than the person you promised to pump exclusively in one of his ornate dwellings. Don't make Jesus cry. What's wrong with you?!One hundred and forty nine songs down, two to go! And we’re not signing off with Brighton Rock, which is the opener from Sheer Heart Attack and today's song! If Kev were to title this episode, they’d probably call it “Brighton Rock”, or possibly, “Hove Roll”... get it?NOTE: Skip forward to 19:02 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is titled "When I'm Gone" and can be found on Absofunkinlutely's Red Album, "Blues Kid City".

  • 3. (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River

    44:51||Season 21, Ep. 3
    The last two non-Queen songs we've covered were Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton. This week's song is not like either. If you're easily offended by dark lyrics in a comedic/novelty punk-techno song that borders on poor taste, then this one likely isn't for you. We knew nothing about the band TISM and we're not sure we know a whole lot more now we've listened to then, but any way you wanna cut it, these guys are different! Very different.If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Now I'm bored", or possibly, "Mama Cass's sandwich"The twenty eighth installment in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by that Australian troublemaker, Jason Hess. The song is "Mama Cass's sandwich" by TISM (This Is Serious Mum), a song that made Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers very angry. Then again, as well as being friends with Ricer Phoenix, Flea was also friends with noted paedophile (allegedly) Anthony Keidis, so maybe he's not the best arbiter of taste!NOTE: Skip forward to 16:14 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The clip at the end of the episode is from the outstanding kids movie, Barnyard and features a song that Kev loves that no-one else seems to. Which is only likely to see him include it more often in the future..... You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/MghWJwQ4E18
  • 2. In Only Seven Days

    54:52||Season 21, Ep. 2
    Another album bites the dust as we finish up Jazz and leave ourselves with only three songs on the wheel! There are more dismissals from the minifestations gauntlet of death and Randy inquires as to how Kev fared when he recently ventured out of his basement and into the wider world. There's also some chat about Iron Maiden and why we tend to go back to listen to things we've heard a million times before. Deacy wrote two songs for Jazz. This is one of them. It's called "In Only Seven Days" and it's the second track on side two of the record. If Randy and Kev were to title this episode, they’d probably call it “If you go on vacation, go longer than seven days; who knows what the fuck's gonna happen” or possibly, “Deacy, stop being so serious!!!”NOTE: Skip forward to 16:35 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is titled "Kind of Love" and can be found on The Cardinal's Black Album, properly known as "Residential Gas Leak", the last record released by Absofunkinlutely.

  • 1. My Fairy King

    01:19:06||Season 21, Ep. 1
    To the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee, from Pincher Creek I, pod at thee! Those where the words that Randy left Kev with after the recording was over for this week's Seaside Pod Review (that's the thing you clicked on - but you probably never read this bit!) We talk about ridiculous menuing trends, the Pied Piper of Hamelin, and plenty o' Queen. There's even a little Accadacca in there for good measure!We're back to finish up the debut album by talking about "My Fairy King"; a Freddie tune that closes Side A of the debut album. You may have heard it before. If Kev were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “My Fairy King.” or possibly, “Would you fuck off with that damn pipe!”NOTE: Skip forward to 22:47 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the brilliant "No Matter What (Always Together)"; another track from the superb debut album of Absofunkinlutely, Funk Shui. On this track, Randy is vocally assisted by Mrs. Cardinal and Oral Fuentes! You can find it here: https://youtu.be/ngO7BT6yvmo
