Show Notes
In days of yore (aka medieval Britain), merchants would travel from hamlet to hamlet negotiating with the various Lords, through their Stewards and Bailiffs, in order to provide chain mail, iron braces and cladding for drawbridges, and reinforcements for battlements. Often, the merchant would barter for food, tools, or other supplies. The most famous of these merchants was named Joen (later changed to the modern spelling of "Joan") of Winchester. Renowned for his craft and guile in negotiation as well as his legendary drinking prowess (he once challenged the Duke of Argyle to a mead drinking contest, from which the Duke suffered a reported hangover of 5 days). Joen was thought to have been born to a Norse warrior father and a French washerwoman mother. HIs complexion was said to be paler than the new moon and his eyes as black as coals. All across the land, as Joen proceeded along the winding lanes to castle after castle, the peasants and their Reeves would call out "Hail Joen, armour trading again?" It is from this unlikely source, that singer Sally Butterslip created her pseudonym.
If Randy were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Maybe you should lose your head" or possibly, "Why does my song not sound good?"
NOTE: Skip forward to 27:15 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The music at the end of the episode is the most brilliant "Bottom End Machine" by Randy Woods Band, from their second record - "Soul Hammer". Kev played a crucial role in the shooting of the music video, by pulling a far more talented man around in a child's wagon. And shooting some random video footage.... go check out the video here! https://youtu.be/efBpffvB84k

More from Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)
There was young fella named Freddie Who died long before we were ready He gaves us some tunes and we podcast buffoons Have talked for four years now already!
B B B B B B Side! Today we cover an actual bona fide B Side. Not a track that was unearthed twenty years later and slapped onto a deluxe edition. Not a song with another singer from a super famous couple of rock bands and not the seaside we like to be beside. It's another track from the The Miracle sessions and it was almost twelve minutes long in its original form! It's a light-hearted little Freddie jam that was cut up and put on the flip side of the Breakthru single. You might like it. You might not.
Seaside Pod Review does not condone booking a bus trip down to Brighton to meet your secretary in some seedy little bed and breakfast two streets back from the front behind your wife, and her husband's back and having it off like a couple of hippies in the 60s! No. We recommend you stick with your partner and only do it to them. Preferably with the lights off and your socks on. Remember, Jesus is watching your spotty white arse as it goes up and down arhythmically for 4 to 6 minutes and he's not gonna be impressed if you're pumping anyone other than the person you promised to pump exclusively in one of his ornate dwellings. Don't make Jesus cry. What's wrong with you?!
The last two non-Queen songs we've covered were Billie Holiday and Dolly Parton. This week's song is not like either. If you're easily offended by dark lyrics in a comedic/novelty punk-techno song that borders on poor taste, then this one likely isn't for you. We knew nothing about the band TISM and we're not sure we know a whole lot more now we've listened to then, but any way you wanna cut it, these guys are different! Very different.
Another album bites the dust as we finish up Jazz and leave ourselves with only three songs on the wheel! There are more dismissals from the minifestations gauntlet of death and Randy inquires as to how Kev fared when he recently ventured out of his basement and into the wider world. There's also some chat about Iron Maiden and why we tend to go back to listen to things we've heard a million times before.
