Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Kevin Brown, Randy Woods

Kev and Randy take to the mics once a week to talk about a song from the catalogue of the enigmatic, brilliant, and sometimes flawed rock legends Queen. Each week a song will be chosen at random so that the boys won't know what track they'll be reviewing. Kev comes into the podcast as a Queen afficionado, while Randy is a more casual fan, but has a huge wealth of knowledge about recording, performing, and music in general. At the end of each episode, both will either upvote or downvote the song and we'll take to social media to see what the listeners think!

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

11/03/22 • 36 min

Well hello people of the internet and other places too! The first episode of the podcast is now out and we spun up track one of album one for in inaugral show. Randy likes the flanger and also reveals that he is in fact the pastor of the Church of Go Fuck Yourself! Apart from that, the boys talk about heavy drum sounds, the wisdom of playing guitar with a coin and how absolutely brilliant Queen were at straddling the line between pop and rock.

Come talk to us on social media. We'd love to hear what you think. We're pretty sure it's gonna get better than this, but in case it doesn't, we'll apologize in advance!

She Makes Me (Stormtrooper in Stilettoes)

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

03/28/24 • 66 min

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/EINdLqmcYH0

NOTE: Skip forward to 23:31 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. We won't hold it against you!

Pain Is So Close to Pleasure

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

09/19/24 • 58 min

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. You can find it here: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=jfPRCn2JAm4

I Got You

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

11/14/24 • 43 min

This 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". You can find it here: https://youtu.be/wiqBlKnb91A

The song at the end is a superb cover of Highway Star, mashed up with One Man Dynamo, by Randy Woods Band. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/pLRrwvoIl_8

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

09/07/23 • 77 min

There's lots of chat on this week's episode but fear not, we do eventually get to this week's song! Lots of discussion about wurlitzers, lyric sheets, Yamaha baby grands... you obviously know why! Randy also educates Kev on where bass players come from before marching his heels to the sea. We still don't know what the strangest thing is that Randy has found in his fridge, but one thing is for certain, it isn't the Normans!

If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Monet Monet Monet, must be funnay - painting in the Louvre” or maybe “Vaudevillian villainy”.

Today's episode covers the second track from Queen's titanic fourth album A Night at the Opera; Lazing on a Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter and Facebook! We'll always try to answer any questions you have and seriously appreciate any corrections you make to anything we get wrong. And thanks so much for all your support as usual.

Great King Rat

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

07/27/23 • 62 min

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 before that. Brian goes apeshit, Roger goes apeshit, John goes apeshit... and weirdly, Freddie is the only one trying to keep things on an even keel and he wrote the damn song! But look, why are we talking about the song, Kev called his shot. A 118 to 1 shot and he nailed it. He bought a lottery ticket so maybe next time you hear this podcast, the intro will have been custom written by Brian and Roger and Kev and Randy will be recording from Malibu because the money train has pulled into the station. K, that's less likely I guess, but, let's dream for a moment......

Jesus

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

11/23/23 • 75 min

Back to the first record! We're trapped in the seventies for a third week in a row and we are not mad about that! I checked on Wikipedia and apparently, this Jesus fella was kind of a big deal in Judea in the 0000s. You probably know him best from his range of sandles and uncomfortable headwear but to many he was much better known as a carpenter, principally through his Dad's construction business. There was a lot of property development around Jerusalem at the time as the populaton bounced back from Psycho Herod's mad slaughter campaign a few years earlier. Incredibly, Herod faced no charges and was retained as monarch for a substantial period! Sorry, I got a bit carried away down the Wikipedia rabbit hole there. In this episode we talk quite an awful lot about Queen! And why not. That's what the podcast is about after all!

We also listen to the De Lane Lea version of Jseus to see how it differs from the eventual recorded version.

If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "I bet Jesus couldn't drive a stick shift" or possibly "Stone Cold Jesus!"

Today's episode covers the penultimate track from Queen's debut album "Jesus".

NOTE: If you want to skip ahead to Randy and Kev's manifestations and the wheel spin, that happens at 34:23!

Scandal

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

02/08/24 • 64 min

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 29:13

I Want to Break Free

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

03/14/24 • 84 min

There once was a Queen fan from Wigan

Whose nose he was told was a big 'un

He tried to break free

Then he fell to his knees

And consulted the Cardinal's florilegium

If 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. Skip forward to 42:53 if wanna get to the good stuff!

Get Down, Make Love

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

02/15/24 • 75 min

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. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/kzR1Dq9JWrk
