  • MUSIC COMMENTARY
  • UPDATED WEEKLY

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  1. Liar

    1H AGO

    Liar

    "Trump's gotta be careful with all these lies, man. Let me tell you a story Dara, about a little boy named Pinocchio. He was a little wooden puppet who came to life because he was possessed by a demon. And he would go around and he would lie to everyone cos of the devil. And then all the villagers, they put him on a bonfire and they burned his soul to ash. And Trump should learn, you... never trust a puppet." - James Acaster on the song we're spinning today (I think...) From rocking town to town to washing freezer bags ... one thing leads to another! Well, it's not a "Greatest Hit", but it is a great song. Unless you savagely butcher it and reduce to less than half its length. But what kind of utter f*****g muppet would do something that stupid? We're looking at you America! It's another corker from the debut album. It's another Freddie track. It's only "Liar"! If Randy were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "A great six minute tune" or possibly, "Does Roger even own a f*****g tambourine?" NOTE: Skip forward to 20:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the sensational groove-soaked rocker "Space Queen", which is kinda fitting when you hear the outro..... Go watch it NOW or risk the very safety of your immortal soul! https://youtu.be/pq_mCwY_a6Y If you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, you can make a donation here: https://ko-fi.com/seasidepodreview and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

    Tramp

    Stax. Otis Redding. Carla Thomas. Booker T. Jones. Isaac Hayes. Steve Cropper. Donald Dunn. Al Jackson Jr. Wayne Jackson. 1967. King and Queen. Lowell Fulson. How much more soul can you be? The answer is "none"; "None more soul"! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Tramp", or possibly, "Minks and rats and frogs and squirrels and rabbits, oh my!" The twenty second installment in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by Kofi regular Al Dudeney, who is catering very much to the Cardinal's tastes here with a late 60s duet between the legendary Otis Redding and Carla Thomas; "Tramp" from the last studio album Otis recorded before his tragic, untimely death, "King and Queen". The song at the end is the Randy Woods Band horn-led remake of Absofunkinlutely's classic cut "Grow Your Love".

    Seven Seas of Rhye

    Kev finds out that Nshima isn't the name of some peculiar rash that Randy picked up in Zambia, but rather, a corn meal porridge that Randy... picked up in Africa. Again, and again, and again. The Cardinal is back and he's here to regale us with tales of boom mics and bad burgers! And you know what, he didn't even get a tan! Ah well, the next time he flies across a couple of seas, maybe he'll cross five more and get a story out of it. We're spinning up a monster. A greatest hit. Maybe the wider world's first real taste of that delicious flavour that we call "None more Queen"! Freddie wrote it, Brian helped, and everyone played the ever loving shit out of it. Also, my Uncle Frank was well impressed with it! It's time to get nautical and mythical as we travel to the Seven Seas of Rhye! If Randy were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Dude, this is a great tune", or possibly, "They just don't write like that anymore!" NOTE: Skip forward to 21:07 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the bitingly topical "Big Brother" from Absofunkinlutely's red album, Blues Kid City. Randy gets political and lays out why a surveillance state is a really f*****g bad idea. It's also got a killer, KILLER groove!

    Mad the Swine

    NOTE: This episode has been reuploaded to correct an editing mistake by so-called Captain International! It's the last B-side episode in our hattrick of pre-recorded shows while old R-Boat is over in Z-Boat! There were some technical difficulties during recording but hey, we're truly international, so we.... kinda sorted em out! Look, we don't have Off Menu money or whatever that one is with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes money. We're just two lowly podcasters tryna' go intergalactic. We're indie and proud. F**k Thatcher. This week's episode covers arguably the weakest song from Queen's 70s output, "Mad the Swine". A song that 100%, definitely, categorically, absolutely DOES NOT belong between Ogre Battle and My Fairy King, no matter what Roger or Bri say about it! If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it “Mad the Swine”, or possibly, “This little piggy should have gone wee wee wee, straight down the s*****r!” NOTE: Skip forward to 13:02 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the very excellent "Darling of the CBC" from Absofunkinlutely's black album, Residential Gas Leak. When checking for residential gas leaks, it's best to call out a qualified plumber. When checking for groove-laden jams about the state of the music industry, it's best to call out a qualified Cardinal!

    Love Kills (Ballad)

    Holy smokes and saints alive I never thought this would happen to me! What's that you ask? Oh, not much... I just happen to be lucky enough to co-host a podcast with the most international dude in the entire Northern hemisphere. Mr. "Jetset" Randy Woods himself is over in the cradle of humanity sharing his vast, VAST knowledge of sound, noises, ambience, acoustics, and such with a very wide array of wide-eyed (and almost certainly completely starstruck) Zambians. When he gets back, who knows if he'll carry on debasing himself by talking to me. We can only speculate. This week's episode covers a Freddie solo track that was reworked for the Queen Forever compilation, released in 2014. It's the much rearranged "Love Kills" (Ballad) If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it “Love Kills”, or possibly “So does Malaria.” NOTE: Skip forward to 6:19 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the sensational "Bode's Galaxy" from Absofunkinlutely's red album, Blues Kid City. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, and you really ought to as the fate of the free universe hangs in the balance, is to go listen to it immediately on the mysterious tubes of Y00! https://youtu.be/lB7iaAnZOZc If you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, you can make a donation here: https://ko-fi.com/seasidepodreview and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

    See What a Fool I've Been

    Fool in the Rain, The Fool on the Hill, Ship of Fools, What a Fool Believes, Fool for the City, Everybody’s a Fool, Fool if You Think It’s Over, and Fool in Love. Every f****r and their dog seems to have a fool song for the love of gods! Well, Queen wrote one. Kinda. Brian wrote one actually, and he wrote it in his dentally-inclined pre-Qeen musical project, Smile; a band that had a dashingly handsome drummer and then two other blokes who history has been far less kind to! This week's episode covers the B-side to Seven Seas of Rhye. It's an old Smile song that the boys dusted off and tried to add a lick of paint to and it's called "See What a Fool I've Been" If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it “Well she’s gone, gone this morning” or possibly, “Maybe she’ll be back in time for tea” NOTE: Skip forward to 8:01 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the lead track off Randy's last album. Soul Hammer and it's titled "Alphabet City". Randy of course grew up in a place where letters were outlawed and only numbers were ever used. Alphabet City was the underground club that he and his rag tag gang of lexical lawbreakers would head to every Thursday night to play ilicit scrabble tournaments! He wrote this song in honour of those halcyon days!

    All I Have Left Is You

    He needs some cool tunes, not just any will suffice But they didn't have Randy Woods Band, so he bought Def Leppard twice Now cruisin' in his Caravan, he sees homies as he pass But if he looks twice, they're gonna kick his lily ass That's right folks, we're talking about Dexter and Noodles and all the rest of the crazy gang that made up the darlings of the pop punk band "The Offspring". But not that song. No, not that one either. No, we're not doing Self Esteem... NO NOT THAT ONE EITHER! It's a pick by our good pal Alice's Dad! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Magnesium and silver nitrate", or possibly, "You gotta keep em separated"! The twenty first installment in this podcast-within-a-podcast covers a song submitted by Kofi titan Barry John Williams who has had his number come up for the first time! It's "The Offspring" with "All I Have Left Is You" The song at the end is the sublimely thought-proviking and deeply lyrically complex and weighty "Tiptoe through the Tulips" by the legendary Tiny Tim.

  8. Dragon Attack

    JAN 2

    Dragon Attack

    The Attack Dragon (Draco ferox) is a large, obligate quadrupedal dragon distinguished by a dense, osteoderm-reinforced hide and an elongated cranial structure optimized for both intimidation and prey capture. The skull supports a double row of recurved, serrated teeth that are continuously replaced throughout the animal’s life, while a heavily muscled neck allows for powerful lateral strikes. Its wings, though capable of sustained flight, are proportionally thicker than those of migratory dragon species, favoring explosive takeoff and short, violent aerial engagements. Internally, D. ferox possesses a highly efficient cardiopulmonary system and a specialized foregut chamber lined with heat-resistant tissue, enabling the ignition and controlled expulsion of volatile gases used primarily for combat rather than hunting. Dietarily, Draco ferox is a hypercarnivorous apex predator, feeding almost exclusively on large terrestrial megafauna and rival dragons. It is an ambush hunter, relying on territorial familiarity and burst aggression rather than endurance pursuit. Mating behavior is infrequent and highly ritualized; breeding seasons occur once every several decades, typically following periods of environmental stress that reduce population density. Courtship is violently competitive, with males engaging in lethal dominance displays that often result in the death of weaker contenders. Females select mates based on combat success and physical damage sustained, a trait believed to correlate with genetic resilience. After mating, the female deposits a small clutch of heavily calcified eggs in geothermally active sites, abandoning them entirely—hatchlings that survive are immediately solitary, aggressive, and fully independent within days of emergence. This week's episode covers Randy's most-manifested song, "Dragon Attack", from Queen's eighth album, "The Game". If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Dragon Attack" or possibly "Leaping Lizards!" NOTE: Skip forward to 28:58 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin. The music at the end of the episode is the song Kev wrote for his childhood best pal, Birchy, who he referenced in the Ask Us Anything section.
