Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)
Welcome to the Pod
Kev and Randy lay out the plans for this spontaneous and hopefully humourous look at the catalogue of one of the greatest rock bands to ever grace the stage: Queen.
Every week, we'll will spin a wheel which contains songs from the entire Queen catalogue. Every week we'll talk about that song and look at background and live performances as well as listening through the song and commenting on different aspects of it. That song then comes off the wheel. At the end of each episode we'll each give our thumbs up or down for the song and remove it from the wheel. This format is lovingly copied from the most excellent And The Podcast Will Rock show, hosted by Corey Morrissette and Mark Camire. If you're into Van Halen, make sure you check that out!
We'll also most likely end up with guests and we'll almost certainly do bonus episodes covering things like live shows, books, and films.
We look forward to chatting with you on social media and you can find us in the following places:

3. Thank God It's Christmas
58:27||Season 12, Ep. 3Thank fuck it's Boxing Day! How's everyone doing? Mince pies all hoovered up by the dog? Grandma not speaking to Auntie Jan because of the incident with the Christmas crackers? How about them Jets??? Look, it's that time of year. You can overindulge, listen to shitty music, and just damn well enjoy yourself! That's what we've been doing this Christmastime, even if Randy isn't at all convinced about the legitimacy of that word! We pick our top five Christmas songs - and there's NO OVERLAP - and talk about songs we're not as keen on... 2024 has been a monumental year for us and we're grateful that you've all come along with us on this wild, wild ride. We'd like to sincerely and honestly say, from the bottom of our hearts, with no reservation, hesitation, or qualms of any type, to please, go fuck yourselves. Where's the tylenol.....?If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Christmas a la fromage" or possibly "Merry Christmas Queenies!"Today's episode looks at Queen's Christmas song; "Thank God It's Christmas"NOTE: Skip forward to 29:38 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 Facebook, and Discord!

Friends Will Be Friends
44:15||Season 12, Ep. 1Man, the last time I had to do this intro, we were talking about Pain Is So Close To Please! Why am I getting the non-rockers from A Kind of Magic all of a sudden? Oh well, it’s all still Queen, right? You have to love everything to call yourself a real fan. Hey I don’t make the rules, that’s what the gatekeepers decided! Wanna smash that gate down with us? Cool. We’re talkin’ Queen!If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Friends Will Be Friends Will Be Friends", or possibly "Friends don't let Friends listen to this pish!"Today's episode looks at the last track on Side A of "A Kind Of Magic" That's right folks, we had to spin it some time and we've spun it today. "Friends Will Be Friends".NOTE: Skip forward to 10:19 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is "Grow Your Love" by Randy Woods Band and you can find it here: https://youtu.be/fmyzddSY4QcThanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, and Discord!

Death on Two Legs (Dedicated To...)
53:48||Season 11, Ep. 10We're back baby! Now, let's see if we can remember how this works... we have to spin a donut, or a coin, or something like that. We have to pull up wikileaks, and talk about the Queen, then ask a bunch of Poles what they think of the song we just listened to that the Queen sang... Hmm, this sounds ridiculous even by our standards. Oh well, what could possibly go wrong. Old Johnny Two Hats and his trusty sidekick are back to guide you through the dazzlingly eclectic catalogue of Queen (the band, not the decomposing monarch...)If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "One leg? No worries, you're fine", or possibly "Go fuck yourself Norm Sheffield!"Today's episode looks at a classic Queen opener. It's the mean, the moody, the magnificent "Death on Two Legs" from 1975's titanic "A Night at the Opera". Dig it! NOTE: Skip forward to 16:43 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is "Breakdown in Kindness" by Randy Woods Band and you can find it here: https://youtu.be/4v_q3oa4ej8Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, and Discord!

In Love With a Camera
36:19||Season 11, Ep. 9We finally spun up a Sarah Chapman song and it was one that neither Kev nor Randy had heard before. We listened to the recess monkeys, we chatted about Chiliwack, Randy discovered a fashion connection between Luke Spiller and Freddie Mercury and we had a good old time listening to some loud, sweaty rack and roll! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Don't bore us", or possibly, "Get to the chorus".The eighth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers the last single from The Struts 2018 album, "Young and Dangerous", the short and schnappy "In Love With a Camera".

Held
42:23||Season 11, Ep. 8Yo! We're back with another Kofi ep peepils! It's a strange one. Like, really quite strange. It's by a band we knew nothing about and still know very little about! This week's song was requested by David A Wilson, who let me know in advance that it was a weird song! Did I mention that this one is a little off-kilter?If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Angry kitty, mad kitty, little ball of hate", or possibly, "Like a big old baby".The seventh episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers "Held", the first single from 1999's "Knock Knock", by SMOG.

I Got You
43:41||Season 11, Ep. 7This is the last episode we recorded while the Cardinal was in Winnipeg a few weeks back and concludes the epic Randy-does-his-laundry-during-the-pod narrative trilogy! This week's song was requested by Chrissy AKA The Waters of Love! Randy was really familiar with the song and Kev was pretty sure he'd never heard it, so how will this one shake out???If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I don't know why sometimes I get frightened" or possibly, "Spiders. It's definitely spiders".The sixth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers Neil Finn's first solo writing credit, "I Got You".

My Baby Does Me
57:47||Season 11, Ep. 6"My baby what? Does me? Are you sure? Good? She does me good you say? Well, that doesn't sound awful. Wait, what, that's the lyrics of the new song???? That doesn't sound great mate. Can we maybe run it by Bri and Rog and see what... OK OK. Yeh, I can probably play some sort of bassline to this. We're gonna just use this drum loop as a bed track until Rog comes.... oh? Really? I mean, he's coming in this afternoon, he could.... OK Fred. Your call!" If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “My baby does me” or possibly, “Turn it down a bit please!”Today's episode looks at the erm... the... it's... look... well... it's "My Baby Does Me" from "The Miracle" OK. It was gonna come up some time, we'll just get through it and move on.NOTE: Skip forward to 16:43 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is "Faded American" by Randy Woods Band and you can find it here: https://youtu.be/jjT1fsuj7yEThanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, and Discord!

Darker Still
36:09||Season 11, Ep. 5This one was recorded while the Cardinal was in Winnipeg a few weeks back and Kev is sick, so we figured we'd drop this one to keep you entertained (for a given value of entertainment obviously) This week's song was requested by Matt Greenham! Neither Kev nor Randy really know what metalcore is and it's safe to say that this one isn't in their typical listening rotation, but will they champion or dust this one?If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Parkway to Heaven?" or possibly, "Until I Die".The fifth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers the title track from Parkway Drive's 2022 release, "Darker Still".
