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

I Guess We're Falling Out

2023/03/23

Kev's in Ottawa, Randy was in Flin Flon, but by the grace of all the gods that ever existed (and there have been a lot!) they managed to get together to spin the accursed wheel and talk, at inordinate length, about another song in the Queen catalogue. This week it's an outtake from The Miracle sessions that is included on the Collector's Edition release of the album. We get into Jesus Murphy, arugula, and an outtake that likely should have been an album track, if not a single!Thanks to everyone who

Another Roger song. The first track from Jazz. Another unanimous decision from Kev and Randy. Apologies for the audio quality difference during the Twitter discussion. Kev's internet connection wasn't great and he was recording on his laptop with no proper mic. To cap off the shit show, Zoom didn't record the audio to separate tracks. Anyway, enough of that, polar bears, drum machines, lyrics, and the third Earl of sandwich are all discussed in this week's episode. One of those things isn't true

Look, it's really hard to write a good song about a cat. And I mean an actual cat, not like Cool for Cats or Honkey Cat. Those aren't the felines that lick their own arses and strut around like they own the place! In this week's episode, Kev astonishes Randy with his deep and nerdy guitar effect trivia, Randy awaits the talk box eagerly and both the boys vote the same way for the second week running on a track from 1991's Innuendo.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some

Innuendo

2023/03/02

Through the sorrow, all through our splendour, don't take offence at our, Queen podcast.... "You're not as witty as the @lappods guys!", we hear you say! Yep. Fair enough. "You're not as informed as the Queenpod!" is a valid criticsm!" ALRIGHT! No need to lay it on thick! "Brrrgn frrgggmrrr bgrrhghg!" Look, we don't know what the LapPods guys' Glasga dialect means, so we're just gonna say, WE AGREE! Anyway, we're happy we got this song for this ep! It's a big fan song and we want to hear your

In the Lap of the Gods

2023/02/23

This week, Randy and Kev get their first song from Sheer Heart Attack. It's the opener from side two, which isn't related to the closer from side two with kinda the same name. The boys are split in their eventual unscientific opinions on this one but both feel that they made valid points. So they agreed to disagree, raised a glass to each other's health and vowed to come back to do it all again next week. Lots of talk about vocal shifting, high-vocals, and a little bit of chat about Alec Guiness for

Long Away

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast) ·

2023/02/16

ANOTHER song from A Day At The Races! This time it's the mid-tempo, twelve-string, Brian May track, Long Away. There may be a little more swearing in this episode than usual because the boys had both had two or three beers before they even turned the mics on! Nonethless, they will regale you with keen insights, witty anecdotes, and the use of expensive words such as "juxtaposition" and less expensive ones, like "beer".

These Are The Days of Our Lives

2023/02/09

WE GOT A TEAR JERKER FOLKS! Kev and Randy discuss the wisfully beautiful These Are the Days of Our Lives, from 1991's Innuendo. Kev explains to Randy that he's pronouncing things wrong, Randy explains to Kev exactly where he can file that opinion and the boys talk fretless bass, brilliant arrangement and whether using electronic drums can leave a track feeling anchored down to a very specific time period. As always the boys cast their votes. Which way will sappy old Kev vote? Which way will Randy

It's the fantastic drowse of another episode folks! Kev is back and he's not happy that Randy is trying to take over!!! The boys get another Roger track and the third song they've covered so far from 1985's titanic A Day At The Races. Randy talks about the production on this one, Kev makes a comparison with the Kinks and the boys split their vote. Also, Kev's a little bit swearier than usual because he had a couple of beers before starting to record.Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last

In today's episode, homicidal painters, swanee whistles, and a thorough explanation of hockey from a bona fide Canadian. Also, a killer track from Side Black of Queen II. Kev tries to explain to Randy how he feels this side of this album really is best listened to in its entirety and Randy assures Kev that, even though he's more of a guitarist himself, he definitely knows what a harpsichord is!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter!

Randy and Kev are joined by fellow Saskatchewanian and podcaster extraordinaire Corey Morrissette for the final episode in Season One (because Kev has literally just this second decided that seasons will be ten episodes long!) We talk about Corey's live experiences with Queen (and Paul Rodgers, and Adam Lambert), the use of Synths on Queen albums, and of course, plenty about this week's song; Coming Soon from 1980's The Game, including Kev's insightful and deeply profound analysis of the lyrics in

Yet ANOTHER cut from News of the World, but this time one that Randy hadn't heard before. Some fun panning, maracas, and even a little cowbell in this one, plus we head back to the "Church of Go Fuck Yourself" for another sermon. PJ sent us a great raw sessions version of the song which we rather enjoyed and we also found out that this song was too hard for Brian May to play, which is why John Deacon took on some of the acoustic guitar responsibilities!

We Are The Champions

Seriously? We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions in the first episodes? Kev is starting to get seriously worried that the end of this show is going to be him apologizing to Randy for a bunch of songs from A Kind of Magic and The Miracle!!! Talk about what to do with B Sides. What to do about the blatent theft of this format and how we can make it up to the people we stole it from. And mainly, two fellas dissecting one of the most instantly recognizable (second behind episode 4 perhaps!) songs

Action This Day

Episode seven and after another Greatest Hits track last week, the boys were really hoping for a deeper cut and the wheel was in a good mood tonight. This is another first for Randy and a song that Kev hasn't thought about in quite a while. The boys talk Smokey Robinson, The Knack, and Prince in relation to the song and are faced with another Roger Taylor lyric, so it could easily go south on ya!Thanks to everyone who tuned in to the last episode and left us some comments on Twitter!

Randy and Kev are back for another episode. We talk about clip clops, triangles, and what in the hell a saloon actually is that you can drive in style in it! We also read out listener tweets and recap the "farrago of mediocrity" that was Heaven For Everyone (thanks to Brian Crozier for that superb phrase!) Today's track is the gigantically brilliant Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy, from A Day At The Races. Tight arrangement, beautiful vocals, TWO bridges (count em!) and some beautiful frilly lyrics

Heaven For Everyone

Don't stop us now because we want it all! Today's episode covers a cover. Well, technically. Heaven For Everyone was originally recorded by Roger Taylor's side project, The Cross in late 1987. The album was released posthumously after Freddie's death and is a mishmash of odds and ends and rehashed tracks. Kev and Randy talk about 90s synths, the lyrical prowess of Roger Taylor, and also a little bit about whether songs sugger from being overplayed on radio and in media!Thanks to everyone who tuned

Hello out there you stone cold crazy fat bottomed girls and guys! The wheel burped up another all time classic. Maybe the most iconic opening of any song in history. Seriously. No surprises from Kev and Randy when it came to voting on this one. Or were there???? We recapped last week's ep, including some chat about two live performances of Somebody to Love and then got straight into the meat of We Will Rock You. Kev even managed to sound vaguely cultured by bringing up a mythological reference! He

The wheel kindly gave us our first song from (the UK release of) Greatest Hits this week and we were pretty excited to talk about this one! Turns out, Freddie Mercury could really sing! We also find out that Randy was categorically wrong last week and the poll backed up that assertion. Don't forget to head over to Twitter to let us know whether you thinkg Somebody To Love is one of the champions or whether it should bite the dust!

Apologies up front for this one being a little long folks. But it's not our fault! Today's episode features the first spin of the wheel of Queen and it throw up the epic, eight and a half minute, monster The Prophet's Song from 1975's A Night At The Opera.
