Seaside Pod Review - episode 73: 28 March 2024: Kev and Randy presenting as ever. Randy is back after a serious bout of what his wife described as “a man cold”. Discussion about money. Sports discussion includes Kev badmouthing the only sport I watch. After the catch up chat, they look at feedback from listeners about the previous episodes random song, I can hear music. Great conversation about cover versions. When they’re supposed to be choosing the song they suddenly start talking food. They are waffle masters! After this they choose the random song for this episode, which is the song She Makes Me (Stormtrooper In Stilettos), written by Brian May, and taken from the album Sheer Heart Attack. The song doesn’t feature Freddie at all, as it’s Brian on all of the vocals, and any piano is by Brian as well. My take on this song - I like it, a lot, but they missed the chance of adding some more psychedelic bits in there. They could have had little bits of backwards guitar, and other out there stuff moving across the stereo field, etc. After the discussion about th song they mention issues where band members have forgotten equipment that’s necessary like a bass guitarist turning up without their instrument. I had that with a band when the drummer turned up without any cymbals. I’ll leave that there because the rest of that story is not safe to say in front of impressionable people. “Darth Vader in flats?”

BirdNote Daily - 20 August 2023: *Pigeons and Head-bobbing - Pigeons seem to bob their heads as they move, like they're grooving to an internal tune.

Their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so that pausing enables the pigeon to take a brief, steady view of its surroundings. Without those pauses, they'd just see a Blair Witch, shaky-cam mess!

BirdNote Daily - 21 August 2023: *A Song That Has Survived for Thousands of Years - Sometimes, a species' song changes over the course of a few decades. But a bird that lives in the mountains of eastern Africa, the Forest Double-collared Sunbird, appears to have kept the same song for at least 500,000 years. That's the amount of time that two populations of the species split up into two separate mountain ranges. Despite a lack of contact between those populations, they sing a nearly identical song, suggesting that it's very similar to the one their ancestors sang long ago.
