Show Notes
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. Fuck 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 shitter!”
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! You can do so, right here: https://youtu.be/3drh6SgxYWE

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.
