Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Funny How Love is

Season 9, Ep. 9

He unscrews the cap of a new whiskey bottle, shuffles about in his candle-lit hovel in his candle lit hovel, like some kind of tit, with blue fingers in mittens, he smells like the cats, and the neighbours he sickend. But enough about Randy, I’m going to make him blush! Settle down with your best cat, your best whiskey and your best mittens and get ready for some Queen, cos that’s what we’re talkin’ about!


If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “Funny how buried the vocals are” or “The spleen isn’t the sexiest organ, but the body isn’t complete without it”


Today's episode looks at "Funny How Love Is"; the gloriously glammy halfway house between the behemoth "March of the Black Queen" and the equally seismic "Seven Seas of Rhye".


NOTE: Skip forward to 16:45 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.


The song featured at the end of this week's episode is a devilishly funky little tune called "Kind of Love" by Randy's old band Absofunkinlutely. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTF2BsiemPQ

  • 3. Machines (or 'Back to Humans')

    58:05||Season 11, Ep. 3
    Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost… If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "The humans are dead" or possibly, "It's heartbeat is timeshare..."Today's episode looks at "Machines (or 'Back to Humans')", the bombastic Taylor/May collaboration from 1984's "The Works".NOTE: Skip forward to 19:09 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is "Humble Pie" (not cake) by Absofunkinlutely.

  • 2. I Can't Live With You

    51:20||Season 11, Ep. 2
    "Hey guys, I've been working on tracks for a potential solo album and came up with this idea. Whaddya think?!" "Well, Freddie wrote a cat song, Rog' is on about cars again, and I don't really have anything that I'm super pumped about, so I guess we could try it........" said John. Probably. Well, maybe. Actually, almost certainly not. But it's a strange one to include on a Queen album and Kev and Randy were pretty much on exactly the same page with this one! If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I can live without you" or possibly "Why can't we live without you? I need more! Gimme more!"Today's episode looks at another track from Innuendo that was originally intended to be a Brian May solo song, "I Can't Live With You"NOTE: Skip forward to 14:22 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is a work in progress by the Cardinal titled "Drumming for Jesus"!If you want to hear The War and Treaty (and you really ought to), check this out: https://youtu.be/k4blAHy2lUkAlso, go check out our merch store, here! https://tinyurl.com/2e23nkk6Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and Discord!

  • 1. Bring Back That Leroy Brown

    53:15||Season 11, Ep. 1
    How much Brown would a Leroy Brown if a Leroy could brown Brown? Fucked if I know and to be honest, I don't think it's overly relevant to this week's episode. There's a whole lot of Jim Croce, because Kev loves him and Kev does the edit, so Kev gets to put Jim Croce in there! Wanna argue? Double bass, tack piano, harmonized train whistles, pitch correction, and a whole hell of a lot of fun. It's all here, so come and get it! If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Put a shotgun to his head" or possibly "Why can't we get along?"Today's episode looks at a Freddie's sizzling first foray into swing, "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" from 1974's "Sheer Heart Attack".NOTE: Skip forward to 16:48 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end is "Hijack The Show" taken from "Residential Gas Leak", the second release by Randy's former band, Absofunkinlutely.

  • 10. Halfway Hotel

    29:44||Season 10, Ep. 10
    The Cardinal is off making money to support his family again. What a douche! Anyway, luckily we had some Kofi eps recorded so we're giving you a band neither of us had heard and their one-hit-wonder song that charted in the UK and Australia. This week's song was requested by Alan Dudeney!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Shit stains on the ceiling, the windowpanes are nice..." or possibly, "they're so discreet and I know only too well". The fourth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers the title track from Voyager's (not that one Randy) 1979 release "Halfway Hotel". It's pop-y, it's piano driven, and the boys were unanimous in their verdict on this one!If you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, you can make a donation here: https://ko-fi.com/seasidepodreview and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

  • 9. Pain Is So Close to Pleasure

    58:32||Season 10, Ep. 9
    Tony Robbins once said that “The Secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you can do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.” Then again, Tony Robbins is a gigantic cock womble, so I wouldn’t listen to a damn thing the disingenuous clagnut says. Listen to us instead. We’re talkin’ Queen!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “All I wanted was to start a new relation” or possibly “All I wanted was to flip a Kind of Magic to Side B”.Today's episode looks at a Brian riff that Freddie and John tried to write a Motown song around; "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure", from 1986's "A Kind of Magic".NOTE: Skip forward to 14:57 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end is "When I'm Gone" taken from the second release by Randy's former band, Absofunkinlutely.

  • 8. I Contain Multitudes

    30:38||Season 10, Ep. 8
    As a huge thank you to the people who have very generously donated some of their hard earned scratch to us over on our Ko-Fi account, we came up with the idea of letting people give us non-Queen songs to talk about and vote on. This week's song was requested by Michele Stagman-Kurlander. If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I'm just like Anne Frank" or possibly, "like Indiana Jones".The third episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers the lead track from Bob Dylan's 2020 release "Rough and Rowdy Ways", the tongue-in-cheek, yet playfully introspective, "I Contain Multitudes".If you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, you can make a donation here: https://ko-fi.com/seasidepodreview and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

  • 7. The Loser in the End

    57:55||Season 10, Ep. 7
    Once upon a time, there was a guitarist named Mick Mars. He practiced every day. He practiced every night. He got so good that a famous musician named David invited him to be one of the spiders from Mars. After recording and touring for years with the Thin Ziggy Starman, he wanted to challenge himself more musically, so he joined the highly sophisticated intellectual rockers, Mötley Crüe, who didn't have a shit name or a shit singer and a shit drummer. Mick became the most succesful guitar player in the world. Then he died. The end. According to Kev. If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Forget regrets" or possibly, "Hey guys, check out this fill!"Today's episode looks at the only Roger composition featured on Queen II, an ode to a dysfunctional maternal relationship, "The Loser in the End"NOTE: Skip forward to 16:43 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end is "Charisma Free" taken from Randy Woods Band's debut record.
