Sleeping on the Sidewalk

Ten songs down on News of the World and only one to go after this week's episode! There's no Freddie. We're Freddieless. Bereft of Fred. There is a death, an absence, verily a Freddie-sized vacuum on this song. So, the question needs to be answered, will that dickhead Randy champion or dust it??? You're just gonna have to wait to find out I guess! We had a great little question, from our pal Dan Flett, about how hard it is to write lyrics without music or music without lyrics, a la Elton John and Bernie Taupin, so we get into that at the end of this week's show.
If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Napping on the pavement" or possibly, "City boy with trumpet sleeps rough!"
Today's episode looks at another Brian song and one that he takes lead vocals on, in that dark, bleak Freddie-less void! It's "Sleeping on the Sidewalk" from "News of the World"!
NOTE: Skip forward to 20:30 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The song at the end of the episode is a little bit of bespoke noodling especially for this episode from the mind and fingers of The Cardinal, Randy Woods.
Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Facebook, Bluesky, and Discord! And while we're at it, come join us on Discord, we'd be glad to have you! 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. We're loving diving into the Queen fandom as much as we're enjoying recording the podcasts!

Previous Episode
The Night Comes Down
It's all kicking off! We've been bollocked by one of our listeners for not knowing enough about Marc Martel. We feel scolded and recalcitrant and we won't let it happen again. The next time we cover a Marc Martel song, we'll give a much more comprehensive bio on him! We'll even try to track down his mom to ask some very searching questions about Marc's teenage bedroom habits! Also, there seems to a mutiny brewing in the Scottish highlands as the otherwise mellow and decent Ruddy Rutherford seems to be planning an insurrection of sorts with a crew of ne'er do wells and malcontents! Oh - and we talked about Queen for a bit.
If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "The night comes down every night Bri" or possibly, "The song is brill!"
Today's episode looks at a song that predates the Trident sessions, Brian's "The Night Comes Down"
NOTE: Skip forward to 19:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.

Next Episode
Rain Must Fall
1 RecommendationsWell that's The Miracle all wrapped up isn't it! I can't say that I'm sorry to see the back of it if I'm being completely honest. We've spun all ten tracks from this album now and not a single one from Flash! The wheel hates nice things. We get into a discussion about real instruments vs synthstruments again and Barry John Williams poses a couple of questions for us to chew on at the end of the episode, including a good one about the use of music in commercials.
If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “A little rain must fall” or possibly “It's pissing down out here. You do know that, don't you?”
Today's episode looks at one of those nerve-wracking things in the Queeniverse, a collaboration between John and Freddie. This one's "Rain Must Fall" from "The Miracle".
NOTE: Skip forward to 22:28 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The song at the end of the episode is the brilliant No Matter What (Always Together) by Absofunkinlutely, with the Cardinal in full flight and his pal Oral Fuentes abley assissting! Seriously, Funk Shui is a delightful album and you should all order a copy from Mr. Woods on CD!
