Itโ€™s one of those languid, authentic songs - perhaps more typical on Echo - that Tom does great. And your podcast is great at refocusing on a track, and having listened again, a song that can get squashed on the CD among songs that shout louder, this sounds huge.

I also have both of these on tape. In fact The Game on tape was my first Queen album, back when i was 9

Had a listen to the first two episodes earlier. Thought it was really good, very funny! Lovely writing, great comic timing and just....a lot of fun.

Back in 2008, I learnt some HTML to create a website - initially to publicise our writing group, aspiring #novelists in #brighton. I decided a changing home page was crucial. 365 stories x almost 17 years have been published. Grateful if you can RT>>

Anyone else get nervous before playing a new album, you play something else to start as a โ€œloosenerโ€?

Oh. Ok.

CHAMPIONโ€™S ALIVE! The Batshit Crazy bits of dialogue work fantastically within Brian basically doing the musical equivalent of thunder and lightning. Plus a nice shoutout to โ€œDispatch WarRocket Ajaxโ€ a line i got to deliver on Recovering Queenโ€™s cover (a lifelong ambition i never knew i had!)

Admittedly I also was trying to think of puns, and Under Tyre Pressure was the best icould come up with. Or something about reversing into that hot space.

And love how Kevin (no need again for the word mister) picked out โ€˜wizโ€™. The height of sophistication and other-wordliness at age 11 when i religiously read the lyrics sitting next to the record player (this was my second-bought album and in my top 2) on the Best side of a queen album, perhaps?

No More Queen as Randy (no need for the Mister here) says. From
the album thatโ€™s Queenโ€™s Midsummer Nightโ€™s Dream (Queen 2 is possibly Hamlet) it conjures a beautiful summer evening has the warm, magical possibilities - even the change of pace suggests nothing is certain. Champion.

Tear it up? Champion. (Unexpectedly, as Iโ€™m sometimes critical of Briโ€™s latter rock numbers) Couldโ€™ve been the opener to this album? More importantly on the 80โ€™s comp question. I was a C64 man - had a karate game listed in one of those magazines. Sorry for anyone who typed it in. A=punch, Z=kick
