Seaside Pod Review - 23 February 2023: new intro to the show. Well, updated! Kev and Randy catch up with each other, with Randy apparently not able to do an outside gig the following week, because of it being -25° outside. After the catching up, they look at feedback from listeners. After this they get the random song for the week, which is the song In The Lap of the Gods from the album Sheer Heart Attack. Randy mentioned the Prince album The Rainbow Children, and I agree with him that it’s a great album. Mention of a song by Ween.
