Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Ahhhh g'day mate! We're heading down under for one of Australia's finest. When Queen told us we had to look out for the planet, we really weren't fans of being preached at by rocks stars, so how will we find this politically-charged chart topper? We get another question in our #AskUsAnything channel from Barry and there's a little bit of Britney involved.... what a time to be alive!

If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "How do we sleep while our beds are burning?", or possibly, "Get out of the building you...

Randy is incensed about the hotels in Weyburn and their attitude to towel management. He's upset about the levels of snow on the ground in Weyburn and goddamn it he's blaming Corey Morrissette for all of it! Kev's buzzing off the back of a personal best night at bowling! Our pal Barry is back with another question for us! So we answered that question. Because we're really not rude men! Also fuck Gart Brooks! And Limp Bizkit can definitely go fuck themselves. And not in the nice way like how we say it to you guys!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Listen you lot! Listen you lot! We've got another episode for you - as you can tell because you're reading this. There's a bit more jibber jabber up front than usual, but it's all very information, very well thought out, and completely planned, so don't skip any of it, OK? If you skip the first twenty odd minutes you'll miss out on a secret to success that could change your life, the lives of your children, the lives of your children's children, the lives of you children's children's children, and so on and so forth...

Tack piano, thimbles, vocals toto loco, thieving magpies, Yamaha C7s, weather reports, and NO BRIAN MAY! That's what's in store for you this week and also Kev and Randy field questions from Barry John Williams aka Alice's Dad, and our good pal Ruddy "Mike is my Dad" Rutherford, who both want to know what our inside leg measurement is and where to find the best scotch eggs in Wimbourne for some reason... (OK I may be lying about the last part). Get this in your ears, now!

If Randy were to title this episode, he'd...

Ballast Woods. Flin Flon. Minequakes. Average athleticism. Consensual Minotaurs. Max Martin. Pink. Fifth members of Queen. It's all going on in this week's episode along with some rather excellent original R&B from Kev! Humpt Bong indeed... what a ridiculous band name! It's a long one folks, but it's the longest song we've covered to date by a good couple of minutes, so y'know!

If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "What do you call a Fish with no eyes?", or possibly, "Fsh...."

The eleventh episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast co...

Well 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...

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...

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...

Wait, wait, wait! It's not Christmas! What the heck Chappers! We're delving into the world of Marc Martel and his exceptional voice this week with the opening song from 2009's album of the same name. Is there any festive spirit left in March for the boys? Tune in to find out!

If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "How Many Kings", or possibly, "Zero or One. Take your pick!".

The tenth episode in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by the wonderful Sarah Chapman and is the work of...

Episode 113 wherein Kev discovers that he has a pretty valuable 7 incher on his hands. ON his hands, not in his hands. Get yer minds out of the gutter. That's later..... Anyway, there's all the usual shenanigans from all the usual suspects and we just have to keep winning pucks in the corners and getting shots to the net and if we just execute the game plan and give our goalie a chance, I'm sure we'll sports better than the other team sportses and emerge victorious! It's been a long day, this is all I've got.

If...
