Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

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.

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!

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.

You grow up, go to school, study hard, pass your exams, go to college, take some more exams, work hard some more, you get a job, earn a bunch of money and save as much as can and eventually you buy a house, you fill it with all the things you want that make your life as comfortable as possible and you meet a girl, she steals your heart, you start a family, and you accumulate a whole bunch of new stuff. Then after all this work and all this accumulation, she wants to drag you off "camping" to go live in the fucking woods and live like a goddamn Neanderthal for no fucking good reason!!! Anyway, fuck camping.

Episode 92 in the books already? Are you serious? We’ve covered more songs than we have left and the only big questions we have left to answer in the second half of the pod are; will Randy’s hat finally be fucked? How much is his oath going to suffer? And is he quite as committed to the church of Go Fuck Yourself as he was in the beginning? If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “I get ever so lonely from time to time”, or possibly, “Shorter of breath, one day closer to death!”Today's episode looks at Freddie's almost-solo tour-de-force from Queen's fifth album, the hauntingly beautiful "You Take My Breath Away"NOTE: Skip forward to 8:56 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

It's time to recap the next block of forty songs we've covered! Is Kev going lean heavily 70s? Will Randy pick anything from Queen 2? There's a public service announcement about the perils of dying your own hair, a slight twist on the Tweet of the Week, a needless discussion of Randy's "meaty" hair, oh, and we pick our favourite ten songs form the last batch of forty we've covered!
