My Melancholy Blues

Seaside Pod Review (A Queen Podcast)

Show Notes

Read about the things that happen throughout the world. Don't be believing in everything you see or hear. Read all about it, read all about it. News of the world, news of the world! Yep, we're heading back to the year nineteen hundred and seventy seven to talk about our last track and the last track from Queen's stupendously brilliant News of the World. The album is currently sitting at a one hundred percent rating, but will it be able to complete the hundo pee and finish strongly? Where's that confounded bridge? What's the chorus? And will Randy thirty nine this one out of spite?

The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and.... oh wait, wrong podcast! If Kev were to title this podcast, he’d probably call it "Melancholy blues" or possibly, "Perspicacious greens!"

NOTE: Skip forward to 23:53 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.

The music at the end of the episode is one Kev's favourite songs that his friend Randy wrote and he really hopes it wasn't written about him! It's Charisma Free and it's off the first Randy Woods Band album and you should go listen to it NOW! https://youtu.be/s5bhRgcAjqI

If you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, head over to our Ko-Fi page (linked below) and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel! We also have a private channel in our Discord community for donors.

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.
