Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

If the Cardinal's wife were to title this episode she'd call it "How long is this podcast gonna go?"Take your little brother swimming with a brick and get ready for some unexpected hot Bramley apple pie action in another episode that drags on way too long. The boys talk about harmonies, drum fills, and Randy's urgent need for ablutions in Moose Jaw. You're also gonna hear a little bit of music from the Cardinal. Also, there's something completely different in the middle of the podcast.Today's episode covers Tie Your Mother Down from 1976's A Day At The Races and Randy hears the album version for the first time.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

If we were to title this episode we'd call it "Synth Bass on a Train"Air humping, a discussion about the metric system, and a first appearance of our new cohost, Frank the Robot! It's all happening as usual over at Seaside Pod Review headquarters as Kev strolls down memory lane and regales Randy with tales of picking up cassette tapes. Randy seems fairly bored by this and is much more interested in the combination of synth base and pure Deacy on today's track. The boys also listen to the non-synth version from the Collector's Edition boxset as well as the song the intro to this song was actually meant to be!Today's episode covers Breakthru, the second single released from 1989's divisive record, The Miracle.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

If we were to title this episode we'd call it "Freddie does funk"Cardinal Woods wants you to all stop fiddling with your EQs, Kev is adamant about the cheese and pickle sandwiches, and the boys are once again aligned in their appraisal of this track. A nod to Joe from in the Lap of the Pods - for his rocked up cover of this one. The boys also debated the merits of synth bass, Kev's eagle ear (is that a thing?) picked up something Randy didn't catch the first time through, but to counteract this moment of genius, he also let the song run too long a few times too so there are some breaks in the music here and there - do not adjust your sets!Today's episode covers Staying Power, the opening track from 1982's Hot Space. It’s only a bloody record. People get so excited about these things.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

If we were to title this episode we'd call it "Polish all your shiny buttons dressed as lamb instead of mutton"There's more chat about sandwiches than you might expect in this episode. Kev was also really quite drunk during the recording and couldn't figure out how to end it, so it's probably longer than it needs to be. Randy put up with the shenanigans with his usual good grace however and deftly explain natural vs pinched harmonics. It's a fourth song from Innuendo on this week's pod. Don't Try So Hard is the fifth song from the album and features lush synths and real percussion. Kev and Randy were unanimous on their verdict on this one. Don't forget to go vote on the polls!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

If we were to title this episode we'd call it "Where's Freddie?"Today we get a classic deep cut from a classic album. Good Company is a Brian May tour-de-force, in which he labours for days to assemble a New Orleans style ragtime band using only his Red Special. The silly goose could have just brought in some session players instead! But then we wouldn't have this brilliant bit of technical virtuosity to wonder at. We introduce our very first Tweet of the Week and explore the subtleties of time management. Also, we learn that Randy can't wrap his head around Northern English dialect.

If we were to title this episode we'd call it "Brian May got his way!" I Go Crazy is a discarded idea from the Hot Space sessions that Brian revamped for The Works, but alas, John, Freddie, and Roger simply we're crazy about it (you see what I did there?) and consigned it to the B-side of Radio Gaga. The Cardinal of the Church of Go Fuck Yourself delivers a sermon in his church, Metallica make a shocking appearance, and the boys talk about Mary Austin selling Freddie's possessions at auction. It's another very silly hour and we hope you enjoy it.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook!

If Randy were to title this episode, and he did, he'd call it "Leave well enough alone!" Queen's rearrangement of 1985's I Was Born To Love You is the topic of conversation today and Kev and Randy dig into both the Queen version and the original Freddie version. Earnest lyrics, full Freddie harmonies, and some interesting choices from Brian make this song an interesting one to dig into. The boys were unanimous in their appraisal of this song. Also, we made a full and frank apologie to Barry John Williams for the horrendous mistake we made last week.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter!

"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre you gonna take me home tonight?" "No chance. You look like you're gonna puke and I don't want to clean up two pints of Rum and black!" Few know that this was the original line, but Freddie wisely convinced Brian to change it. Let's be honest, there are issues with the lyrics in this one but you have to love the music. Randy and Kev are unanimous once again after not being unanimous last week! Fat Bottomed Girls is on the menu this week and the boys talk drum fills, drop tunings, and Randy just won't leave the hockey thing alone!

Back to the start. Actually, back before the start in some ways, with a song written by Smile, the precursor band to both Queen and the much bigger and more influential Humpy Bong. Don't hump bongs folks, you could burn your pee pee and that's never good! Speaking of burning pee pees, Randy and Kev are back with another episode, talking about track two from Queen's debut album, "Doing All Right". Are Randy and Kev going to continue to vote the same way, or will another rift form between them, perhaps cataclysmic? There's only one real way to find out, so get stick some ear buds in and listen to this absolute nonsense at your leisure!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter!
