Show Notes
Deacy wrote some absolute bangers for Queen. Another One Bites the Dust, Spread Your Wings, Your My Best Friend. But he also wrote a few more mellow tracks like In Only Seven Days and this week's track, "One Year of Love", which was his only sole-writing credit on A Kind of Magic. His two co-writes with Freddie from the same record, well... we weren't fans. Mainly because they're absolutely terrible! So what will Randy think of Queen heading into sax territory? He does like it when bands get the horn... We also discuss Record Store Day and we dive into a question about who exactly it is who is shaping modern popular music!
If Randy were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it “Didn't do it this week Kev” or possibly, “I'm a podcast mould breaker, no regular formats can hold me!!!”...
NOTE: Skip forward to 22:32 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.
The music at the end of the episode is Hijack the Show, by Absofunkinlutely. Put your guitar on, turn your amp up to ten, and rock out with the Cardinal. https://youtu.be/zlTK_685DsY

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.
