Welcome to Episode 70 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 Joey is VERY happy to bring 'You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love' the 3rd album by Olivia Rodrigo.In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month, taking inspiration from Olivia's love of and references to the Cure, the theme is 'Songs that reference other artists'.    — Part 1 | Album of the Month | Olivia Rodrigo |  You seem pretty sad … —Olivia is a force of nature. She is a song writing savant. She has a new album out, in case you didn't notice, this means we've got to talk about it. And there is a lot to talk about.Have a listen, tell us what you think.Listen to the original album here.Watch some of her videos here , particularly the singles from this album.Buy this album or some merch here.  Listen to the ridiculously brilliant Switched on Pop Podcast Episode.               — Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Songs that reference other artists — Olivia references the Cure a number of times on this album. We've taken inspiration and chosen 'Songs that reference other artists' as our Spin It theme.The task is pick a track that fits the theme, the objective, get more 'spins' than your friends. We each pick four tracks for a 16 track play list . We then each pick select 1 track and ask the simple question 'Spin It Or Bin It'?Joey chose Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus.David chose Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder.Guy chose Destroy Rock & Roll by Mylo.Nolan chose Secret Wars I by The Last Emporer.What would you have chosen?

Episode 12 of This Is Not Happening strides from Genesis Owusu‘s Smiling With No Teeth to the much-anticipated new album from St VincentDaddy’s Home. The New York art-rock darling has embraced the underbelly of the 1970s with a new persona and some eye-catching tracks. Megafan David tries to convince us why we should all love it. It’s definitely a tug of war for an album that’s found reactions at both extremes. We also put together a playlist of music that makes us lean to Annie Clark.

In the second half of the episode, we set the seemingly impossible task of convincing each other to like a song from artists that they hate. What were we thinking?! Our longlist is here, see what we thought of the picks:

David via Joey – Manic Street Preachers – You’re Tender And You’re Tired
Guy  via Nolan – The Weeknd – High For This
Nolan via David – Muse – Falling Down
Joey via Guy – Arcade Fire – Intervention

Episode #13 takes us into series 2 of the podcast, and sees Nolan bring some hip-hop to the table with Skyzoo‘s new album All The Brilliant Things. as the celebrated New Yorker takes us into his world.  Skyzoo will be coming to you before the end of July.

June’s album of the month and all our new tracks, playlists, and chat from the past decade or more can be found on our blog at www.thisisnothappening.net, which runs alongside the podcast choices and much, much more.
