Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

We're gonna test the theory that you guys will listen to us talk about anything..... over lunch. Episode one is recorded on location at the rough and ready (and perfectly cromulent) Amigos Cantina at 806 Dufferin Ave, Saskatoon. Tex Mex was eaten, craft beer was consumed, and we set the world mainly to rights! It was bitterly, bitterly cold the day we went so being inside with warm food and warm c...

Chappperrrrzzzzzzzz!!!!! Look, we’re not gonna tell you how to live your lives, but really, if you’re watching a sport that needs music to be played all the way through as a distraction, is this a good use of your time? Well. Is it? Randy’s back from the desert, Kev’s in from the cold, Roger’s ready for a night on the town, and Bri has his stank knob dialled up to ten. So shoot and get your suit,...

The late great Tom Petty once said “I hate to generalize on a whole genre of music, but it does seem to be missing that magic element that it used to have.” Well, sometimes you just gotta shake things up and when the old bop is getting tired and needs a rest, you know what you gotta do. Get your leathers on bryl creme up that hair and flip a quarter into the jukebox, cos we’re talkin’ Queen! If Ke...

Well, what were the chances of that? We spun two Struts songs in a row! Kev and Randy are starting to suspect they've been duped into producing a Young and Dangerous Podcast! Also, there's a lot more talk about Kev's dental regime than you might have expected... If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Young and Dangerous", or possibly, "Adult and Cautious". The ninth episode in t...

There is no tumescence. There is just floppy. HEY! It's not what you think! Look, it'll make a lot more sense once you listen to the episode... Look, all I was saying was that the chef made a meal a certain way so before you start slathering it with all sorts of condiments, maybe give it a quick taste and see if what the chef did was actually pretty fucking good, OK?!?! Geez! You wouldn't go addin...

The increase of disorder or entropy is what distinguishes the past from the future, giving a direction to time. That’s according to noted layabout and robot impersonator Stephen Hawking. So I wouldn’t take any advice from that guy! You know who does know about time though? Brian Harold May, that’s who! Set your watches and dust off the old sundial, cos we’re talkin’ Queen! If Kev were to title thi...

Thank fuck it's Boxing Day! How's everyone doing? Mince pies all hoovered up by the dog? Grandma not speaking to Auntie Jan because of the incident with the Christmas crackers? How about them Jets??? Look, it's that time of year. You can overindulge, listen to shitty music, and just damn well enjoy yourself! That's what we've been doing this Christmastime, even if Randy isn't at all convinced abou...

'E's passed on! This cat is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FELINE! If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probab...

Man, the last time I had to do this intro, we were talking about Pain Is So Close To Please! Why am I getting the non-rockers from A Kind of Magic all of a sudden? Oh well, it’s all still Queen, right? You have to love everything to call yourself a real fan. Hey I don’t make the rules, that’s what the gatekeepers decided! Wanna smash that gate down with us? Cool. We’re talkin’ Queen! If Kev were t...

We're back baby! Now, let's see if we can remember how this works... we have to spin a donut, or a coin, or something like that. We have to pull up wikileaks, and talk about the Queen, then ask a bunch of Poles what they think of the song we just listened to that the Queen sang... Hmm, this sounds ridiculous even by our standards. Oh well, what could possibly go wrong. Old Johnny Two Hats and his...

We finally spun up a Sarah Chapman song and it was one that neither Kev nor Randy had heard before. We listened to the recess monkeys, we chatted about Chiliwack, Randy discovered a fashion connection between Luke Spiller and Freddie Mercury and we had a good old time listening to some loud, sweaty rack and roll! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Don't bore us", or possibly...

Yo! We're back with another Kofi ep peepils! It's a strange one. Like, really quite strange. It's by a band we knew nothing about and still know very little about! This week's song was requested by David A Wilson, who let me know in advance that it was a weird song! Did I mention that this one is a little off-kilter? If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Angry kitty, mad kitty,...

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 probab...

"My baby what? Does me? Are you sure? Good? She does me good you say? Well, that doesn't sound awful. Wait, what, that's the lyrics of the new song???? That doesn't sound great mate. Can we maybe run it by Bri and Rog and see what... OK OK. Yeh, I can probably play some sort of bassline to this. We're gonna just use this drum loop as a bed track until Rog comes.... oh? Really? I mean, he's coming...

This one was recorded while the Cardinal was in Winnipeg a few weeks back and Kev is sick, so we figured we'd drop this one to keep you entertained (for a given value of entertainment obviously) This week's song was requested by Matt Greenham! Neither Kev nor Randy really know what metalcore is and it's safe to say that this one isn't in their typical listening rotation, but will they champion or...

Episode One Hundred? Who'd have ever imagined we'd get this far? Who would ever have imagined that Randy would still be willing to sit down and listen to Kev fanboy about Queen every week? Who'd have ever thought that a man with a peanut for a brain and a face painted with deck stain would have a realistic chance of being President of the US. Again. Well, we'll take it! Except the last bit. Fuck t...

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need ki...

"Hey guys, I've been working on tracks for a potential solo album and came up with this idea. Whaddya think?!" "Well, Freddie wrote a cat song, Rog' is on about cars again, and I don't really have anything that I'm super pumped about, so I guess we could try it........" said John. Probably. Well, maybe. Actually, almost certainly not. But it's a strange one to include on a Queen album and Kev and...

How much Brown would a Leroy Brown if a Leroy could brown Brown? Fucked if I know and to be honest, I don't think it's overly relevant to this week's episode. There's a whole lot of Jim Croce, because Kev loves him and Kev does the edit, so Kev gets to put Jim Croce in there! Wanna argue? Double bass, tack piano, harmonized train whistles, pitch correction, and a whole hell of a lot of fun. It's a...

The Cardinal is off making money to support his family again. What a douche! Anyway, luckily we had some Kofi eps recorded so we're giving you a band neither of us had heard and their one-hit-wonder song that charted in the UK and Australia. This week's song was requested by Alan Dudeney! If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Shit stains on the ceiling, the windowpanes are nice...

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...

As a huge thank you to the people who have very generously donated some of their hard earned scratch to us over on our Ko-Fi account, we came up with the idea of letting people give us non-Queen songs to talk about and vote on. This week's song was requested by Michele Stagman-Kurlander. If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "I'm just like Anne Frank" or possibly, "like Indiana...

Once upon a time, there was a guitarist named Mick Mars. He practiced every day. He practiced every night. He got so good that a famous musician named David invited him to be one of the spiders from Mars. After recording and touring for years with the Thin Ziggy Starman, he wanted to challenge himself more musically, so he joined the highly sophisticated intellectual rockers, Mötley Crüe, who didn...

You grow up, go to school, study hard, pass your exams, go to college, take some more exams, work hard some more, you get a job, earn a bunch of money and save as much as can and eventually you buy a house, you fill it with all the things you want that make your life as comfortable as possible and you meet a girl, she steals your heart, you start a family, and you accumulate a whole bunch of new s...
