Seaside Pod Review - A Queen Podcast

09/04/2025

We're going back to a time before Queen records existed. To a time when the summer of love had wound down but Leon Russell was still tokin'. This one is a song he wrote for Joe Cocker, who released it as the first single from his self-titled second album. November Rain is brought up again, for some ungodly reason and we discuss the relative merits of mic-ing toms from above or below for a tedious amount of time. Also, we try to figure out if Leon Russell or Joe Cocker would have ever made it onto American Idol. No. The answer is no.

Repreeeeeeeeeze! If Randy were to title this episode, he’d probably call it "Not the U2 song", or possibly "Roger had the best hair of the band!"

Is it Queen's best? Is it their last? I guess we'll find out!

Splish splash, we're listening to Flash! We crack the seal on this album and Kev discovers something troubling about his best mate... (no, not that, he's just never seen the film!)

Is this the greatest bespoke movie song ever written by a rock band? Who knows, but we had a right laugh discussing the preposterously overblownness of it all!

I get it. The last thing the world needs is two more middle-aged guys who listen to prog, metal, rock, and mainly people being noisy with guitars, talking about a beloved female pop icon!

But this was a really interesting album to dig into. Part One (of three), in which Kev discusses the Swiftiverse in general and the artist at the centre of it.

A big thanks to my pal Scott Haskin for having me on to discuss an album that's miles out of either of our wheelhouses!

Kevin and I take a step back in time and a jump out of our comfort zones and dig into Taylor Swift’s fifth album, 1989, released in 2012. We’re co...

Musician Benoît Clerc claims that the lyrics overuse the phrases "I love her" and "I love you." despite the fact that, combined, they're only used thrice! Well, Benoît Clerc, you can take your stupid little circumflex and go f**k yourself!
