This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast

著者: Guy Joey Nolan and David
  • サマリー

  • Welcome to This Is Not Happening: an album of the month podcast with four massive music fans that have been talking and blogging about their favourite records for the last ten years together. An exiled Londoner in the North (Guy), a Leeds scriptwriter (David), ex-housemates in Leeds Joey and Nolan whose paths all crossed through music, be it festivals, DJing, gigs, or just sitting at home listening to entire albums without talking. Music is the bedrock of our friendship. The podcast name nods to our one nailed-on shared love: LCD Soundsystem, but our tastes are wide, sometimes odd, and often not the same! From bass to balearic, disco to dub, house to hip-hop, folk to funk, pop to punk, and rock to r'n'b, we'll all have music to champion, ready to be blessed or butchered by each other. Each episode we'll be talking freely about our album of the month, and what we've been listening to lately. The conversation twists and turns, and while we are serious about music, it's not so much that we can't enjoy ourselves talking about it, in fact it's why we do it. For everything we've loved in the past years, check out www.thisisnothappening.net, which will run alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. So why not join us for the conversation. It will always be lively....

  • EP. 52 | TINH Top 10 Albums of 2024
    2024/12/17

    It's the end of the year and that means it's time for us decide on our individual Top 10 Favourite albums list. Once this is done, we hand this to David, who fires up the TINH algorithm and a collective Top 10 is created. Sometimes it's predictable, sometimes it's not, more often than not Guy feels like the TINH black-sheep but every year we tell him we love him and it all works out well.

    Part 1 | TINH Collective Top 10 List.

    We run down our top 10 list, introducing the albums and why they made it into our top 10. We always plan to be short and snapy. We always fail. But hopefully you enjoy it.

    Part 2 | Spin It Or Bin It | Favourite Track of 2024.

    We usually create a short list of 4 tracks each and pick a single track to represent the theme. With it being the end of the year, the theme is obvious, Favourite Track of the Year. But we each created a 10 track 'short' list this time.

    The 40 track 'Favourite Tracks of 2024 is available here and it's a belter.

    In Part 2 we each talk through our favourite track of the year and then ask the question ... Spin It or Bin It where we try to decide a track of the year.

    We hope you enjoy this episode.

  • Ep. 51 | Caribou | Honey
    2024/11/12

    Another month, another pod. A very warm and most welcome to Episode 51 of This is Not Happening (TINH), an Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast. In Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'. This is where we pick a theme and each select a song that represents that theme. We judge each others selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?

    This month, in Part 1, Joey sits in the middle of a 'divisive discussion' focused on Caribou's new album Honey. One of us think it's some of the best of Caribou's work, one of us thinks it's much less than that.

    In Part 2, Spin It or Bin It, our theme this month is 'Basslines', for once we stipulated no other rules.

    Part 1 | Caribou | 'Honey'

    We all love Caribou. There are few artists that sit in the centre of the TINH venn diagram, but Caribou is one of them. However, we all have different favourite Caribou albums and therefore have different expectations and hopes when it comes to a new Caribou album.

    The debate is fierce. We cover many topics including how to be fair when an artist produces something we weren't expecting, can you remove the bias of your disappointment and critique the album without bias? Unfortunately, we also end up talking about AI and music too.

    • Listen to the album ... HERE
    • Watch some of the videos for the tracks discussed ... HERE
    • Watch this short of it going off when Dan drops Honey in a DJ set ... HERE
    • Watch this short of Dan talking about 'Volume' ... HERE
    • BBC Sounds interview with Dan Snaith from this month ... HERE


    Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Basslines'

    The best Spin It or Bin It's are often the simplest. This month, the theme is one word and no extra rules or exclusions, 'Basslines'. However you want to interpret it, it's cool.N

    • Joey chose 'Walk on the Wildside' by Lou Reed
    • Nolan chose 'Transitions' by Dennis Ferrer
    • Guy chose '...(nothing but) Flowers' by Talking Heads
    • David chose 'Taxman' by the Beatle

    Here is a 16 track playlist where we all contribute 4 'basslines' themed tracks to an extended playlist.

    See you on Episode 52 ...

  • Ep. 50 | Nilifur Yanya | My Method Actor
    2024/10/15

    We've hit the BIG 5-0 and we're still speaking to each other. It's delight to welcome to Episode 50 of This is Not Happening (TINH). An Album of the Month (AOTM) Podcast where in Part 1 we deep dive into an Album that one of us has chosen and in Part 2 we play 'Spin it or Bin it'. This is where we pick a theme and each select a song that represents that theme. We judge each others selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?

    This month, in Part 1, David introduces the latest album from one of my favourite obsession artists, 'My Method Actor' by Nilifur Yanya.

    In Part 2, Spin It or Bin It, we return for our quarterly visit to the theme of 'New Music' ... anything released since August 1st.

    Part 1 | Nilifur Yanya | My Method Actor

    This is the third full length studio album from Yanya. She is a super interesting artist blending soul, jazz, indie and a bunch of other sounds and influences in there. This album is something of a departure for her following her last 2 albums that perhaps embraced the indie side of her influences. This album is a super smart melding of all of her influences, definitely leaning more towards the soul and jazz side of her music. It feels like a return to some of her earliest EP releases and I love it for that fact.

    • Listen to the album ... HERE
    • Watch a video of her performing a track from her 2nd EP back in 2017 on the BBC Introducing stage ... HERE
    • 2 Tracks from the new album get a very low-fi video, watch them both HERE and HERE
    • The obligatory Jimmy Fallon performance link is ... HERE
    • Interesting interview on 'The Talk.Com', this is a quick read and enlightening ... read it HERE


    Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New Music

    Super-simple, we all chose a track that we love from the last couple of months and ask each the simple binary question, Spin It or Bin It?

    • Joey chose Wristwatch by MJ Lenderman
    • Guy chose Zero Sum by The Smile
    • Nolan chose Dafodil by Jamie XX and friends
    • David chose Neon Signs by The Weather Station

    See you on Episode 51 ...
