This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast

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....

Welcome to Episode 66 of This Is Not Happening. An Album of the Month podcast.

In Part 1, we do a deep drive review of our Album of the Month. This month David brings Neo-Soul back into focus with Jill Scott and her comeback album 'To Whom This May Concern.

In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month the theme is 'Neo-Soul, and it's a belter.

------ Part 1 | Album of the Month | Jill Scott | To Who This May Concern ------

Jill Scott's debut was released in 2000, it played a big part in some of our lives. But most of us lost touch after this release. It's 26 years later and Jill has been through some shit.

This album is big, it's a lot. There is a lot to take in digest and consider. It works big time for some of us ... not so much for others. Have a listen, let's get into this!

Listen to the original album here.
Tiny Desk concerts are getting better and better, here is Jill's.
Watch some videos, interviews and performances here.

---------------- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New Music ----------------

The theme is Neo-Soul, the task is pick a track that fits the theme, the objective, get more 'spins' than your friends. We each pick for tracks for a 16 track play list (that is fire).

We then each pick select 1 track and ask the simple question 'Spin It Or Bin It'?

Guy chose 'Heard it all Before' by Sunshine Anderson.
Nolan chose 'Serve this Royalty' by Cody Chesnutt.
David chose 'Don't Mess with My Man' by Lucy Pearl.
Joey chose 'Untitled (How Does It Feel) by D'Angelo.
