Podcast: Seaside Pod Review

Kev and Randy work their way through the Queen catalogue, one (random) song at a time.

’39

If Randy were to stitch Kev up and put words in his mouth, he’d call it “It’s all condiments and no main course” The boys were close in their assessment of this one but split the vote! We talk Bugs Bunny, the gravy and cheese based abuse of the Kurds, and listen to the 39th…

Great King Rat

If Kev were to title this episode he’d call it “Please sir, can I have another solo?” or possibly, “Hey Randy, quit swanning around in Edmonton and write the damned outro!” Rats, Brahms, toms, solos, ostentatiousness. It’s all in this week’s episode folks. We roll back all the way to the first album and even…

Headlong

If Randy were to title this episode he’d call it “What number did John call to phone in his bassline?”, or possibly “Hey Fred, can you make this cool?!” Hoop diddy diddy, hoop diddy who the hell writes this shit? Kev is crestfallen at the lack of lyrical imagination from the usually brilliant Brian May….

Jealousy

If Randy were to title this episode he’d call it “To fall in love was my first mistake”, or possibly “Where’s the fucking kick drum!?” Our third song from Jazz is the plaintive ballad, Jealousy. Kev is pretty sure Freddie didn’t play to click tracks, Randy doesn’t own a fretless bass, and who’s that tap,…

Is This The World We Created

If Randy were to title this episode he’d call it “This is the world we created”, or possibly “We need a ballad for the live show”. Another unanimous decision from this pair of idiots who can’t bear to disagree. Seriously, why do they bother? Why continue? Why speak in the third person when I’m one…

Starfleet

If Randy were to title this episode he’d call it “Mutual Masturbation”, or possibly, “Nice licks Eddie!”. Just a short ep for you this week with the boys talking about 1983’s Starfleet project. We looked at the single edit and this one was recorded live in person so it was a challenge to put this…

I Want It All

If Kevin were to title this episode he’d call it “Randy forgot to title this episode”, or maybe “passive aggressive podcast prose”. The boys are unanimous in their assessment of this late-era Queen track; the second from The Miracle in the last three episodes! They talk about whether the synths make sense on this one,…

Tie Your Mother Down

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…

Breakthru

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…

Staying Power

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…
