Today's episode covers the big cahuna. The monster. The behemoth. None more Queen. The song that didn't just put Queen on the map, but also tore the map up into tiny little shreds and force fed the pieces to an ungrateful music press who just didn't get it.

"Unfortunately, Queen’s lyrics are not the stuff of sonnets." - TIME magazine

"...a brazen hodgepodge..." - Rolling Stone

"A superficially impressive pastiche of incongruous musical styles..." - Melody Maker

"It has no immediate selling point whatsoever" - Record Mirror

"They sound extremely self-important" - NME

"The critics can go fuck themselves" - Cardinal Woods

If Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Nothing really matters" or possibly, "I wonder who played gong on this track?"

It's Bo Rhap time.

NOTES: Skip forward to 38:47 if you want to skip the preamble.

The song featured at the end of the episode is "Hint of Grey" written and recorded by our very own Ian Winick in his former duo, John Loves Julie. You can find all the music over on SoundCloud, here: https://soundcloud.com/johnlovesjulie.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Is life real? Can you breastfeed yourself? And what are those stains on your pillow? If I were to title this episode, I’d probably call it “Nothing is Real” or possibly “The milky boobs are on me!”.

Today's episode covers Freddies ode to the fallen Beatle, "Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)".

NOTES: Skip forward to 30:39 if wanna get straight into the manifestations from our dynamic duo and their dastardly discordants!

Randy's having trouble with the word minfastition, maniseftation, fannystemnation, well whatever it is, Randy just can't say it! In a first for the podcast, there is live confectionary eating and mroe discussion about cake than anyone needs to hear, but, we've drawn a line under it now, so we can all put it behind us! We're talking filler, we're talking Jazz, and we're definitely talking shite!

If Kev were to title this episode, he'd probably call it “You’re never gonna help yourself”, or possibly, “Deacy definitely didn’t deliver!”

Today's episode covers the Deacy's side one contribution to Jazz, "If You Can't Beat Them".

NOTES: Skip forward to 33:51 if wanna get straight into the sunnydestinationd, the funnysensations... the, ach you know, wheel spin! Also, the sound quality is a little bit off on this one as the technical frustrations we had setting up to record in person the way we tried didn't yield the best results, so we won't be doing that again.

The song featured at the end of the episode is "Never Said"; Kev's platonic love song to his childhood best friend who succumbed to his cancer in 2017. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGsINNg8l_c
