Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Tie Your Mother Down

Season 4, Ep. 1

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.

  • 3. She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes)

    01:06:28
    Queen: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Seaside Pod Review. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new songs; to seek out new lyrics and new musicla expressions; to boldly go where millions of people have gone before! It's all a bit moody over here at the SPR. Randy hasn't forgotten his suitcase this time and Kev's German accent is definitely on point! If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “Darth Vadar in flats” or possibly, “When I get home I'm gonna rip my wife's underwear right off, cos the waistband is killing me.”Today's song covers Brian's funereal dirge "She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes)" from 1974's superb "Sheer Heart Attack".The cover version of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Listen to Her Heart by Cyberattack, which is clipped in the episode, can be found here: https://youtu.be/EINdLqmcYH0NOTE: Skip forward to 23:31 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.

  • 2. I Can Hear Music

    48:04
    Come and listen to my story about a man named Fred. A poor balladeer, barely kept his kittens fed And then one day while John and Roger stewed, Well up through the mic come a bumblin dude. Robin Cable that is, Trident Engineer, Phil Spector Wannabe.“I CAN hear music”, or possibly “It’s not exactly a wall of sound, more a small privet hedge of sound…”Today's song covers a song never originally intended to be a single. It features three members of Queen and a whole lot of reverb. It's the song that came out before Queen's debut album, "I Can Hear Music".NOTE: If you want to skip straight to the manifestations and wheel spin, that happens right around 13:19.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

  • 1. I Want to Break Free

    01:24:51
    There once was a Queen fan from WiganWhose nose he was told was a big 'unHe tried to break freeThen he fell to his kneesAnd consulted the Cardinal's florilegiumIf Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “Get a grip America” or possibly, “Simply sensational synthtastic solo”Today's song covers the worldwide chart hit from "The Works", the slick pop anthem "I Want to Break Free".The song included at the end of the episode is the inimitable Dudley Moore performing his masterpiece "Jump", live in 1973.NOTE: There's a fair bit of jibber and also some jabber at the top of this one, so if you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, we won't think any less of you.

  • 10. The March of the Black Queen

    01:37:33
    Hey, does anyone read these episode descriptions? I could probably write anything here couldn't I? I could ask you to send me photos of your favourite letter box. Maybe I could see if someone would be willing to paint themselves orange, stand on the steps of Huddersfield Town Hall and repeatedly scream "Life goes on BRA!" for four hours, or until the local constabulary arrive to deal with them. Maybe I'll start a movement of some kind and I can relay secret messages to my followers here, like the spies used to do with the Times crossword. Things like, "The elucidated octopus knows no pity". You know, that kind of thing...If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Bo Rhap before Bo Rhap" or possibly "Them dudes can play!"Today's song covers the monumental centre-piece from Side Black of "Queen II", all six and a half minutes of "The March of the Black Queen".The song included at the end of the episode is "Pharmacist on a Harley" from the latest Randy Woods Band album, "Soul Hammer" and you can find it here! https://youtu.be/WgARAxQqifwNOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 46:58 (yeh we know, it's a long one this week folks!)Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

  • 9. The Invisible Man

    01:18:26
    "The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking as it seemed from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried."That's the intro to H.G. Wells classic book."I'm the invisible manI'm the invisible manIncredible how you canSee right through me"That's the intro to this week's song. H.G. Wells it ain't!If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I want a new invisible man" or possibly "Love is a stranger, invisibly"Today's song covers the fourth single from Queen's last album of the 80s. That's right, it's "The Invisible Man"NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 37:58Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

  • 8. You're My Best Friend

    01:07:50
    Truck yeah? Fuck no! A week late week for Valentine's day, it's time to hold hands with your significant other, take a long walk down the beach together, look deeply into each other's eyes and say "Whaddya fancy for supper then...?" There's a touch of class about this week's song and even if Roger thought it belonged in a knitting circle rather than a rock band's repertoire, it still make the top ten and the Greatest Hits record, neither of which Rog' managed up until The Works. So stick that in your carburetor and smoke it!If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Happy at home" or possibly "Deacy gets freaky with his missus!"Today's song covers the first Deacy-penned single in the Queen catalogue, "You're My Best Friend" from 1975's "A Night at the Opera"The song included at the end of the episode is "Amazed" by Kev (played on, recorded, produced, and mixed by the Cardinal!)

    01:15:11
    Strawberries can go fuck themselves. Blueberries can go fuck themselves. Kraft Dinner? Yep, it can go fuck itself. What about peanut butter? Absolutely 100% suitable for a good go fuck yourself. That’s just list of foods I find unacceptable and I feel should be banned, but we’re not here to talk about shitty eats. We’re here to talk about killer beats. Come on so heavy, cos we’re talkin’ Queen.Today's song covers the opening track on side two of Queen's 1977 masterpiece ,"News of the World", the erotically charged "Get Down, Make Love"The song included at the end of the episode is "Why Can't We Get Along" by Randy Woods Band.

  • 6. Scandal

    01:04:28
    Bangkok to Saskatoon, kick a dick and see ya soon. That’s the opening number in my new rock opera titled “I wish I could think of a better blurb for this podcast”. I’m not gonna lie, I miss old Randy doing the intros and outros. Don’t tell him I said this but he’s kinda good at them. Anyway, chop all the letters out of the newspaper and blackmail the local vicar, cos if Kev were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “Scandal, what scandal?” or possibly “More sauce please.”Today's song covers the fourth album from Queen's 1989 album ,"The Miracle". The video bored Roger to tears, but will the song work for our interpid pair of podcasters?NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 29:13Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!

  • 5. Driven By You

    42:58
    You know we love you but you drive us crazy! Randy is off globetrotting on the other side of the pale blue dot, shoveling sushi and noodle bowls into his poodle hole and generally having a grand old time without me! Well, I’ll show him what for in the intro and outro. Slip it into first, push the seats back, and enjoy the ride, we’re talkin’ Queen.If Kev were to title this episode, he’d probably call it “Driven by Who?”, or possibly “We do like cheese!"Today's song is already our second from Brian May's first full solo album ,"Back To The Light", the piece that was originally commissioned by the Ford motor company, "Driven By You".NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 10:08Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter, Facebook, and BlueSky!
