Another year, another month, another pod. Welcome to Episode 54 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’.  We pick a theme and each pick a song that represents that theme. We judge the selections by asking the question ‘Spin It or Bin It’?

In Part 1, Joey hosts a bit of a love-in on The Weather Station’s 7th album Humanhood.

In Part 2, Spin It or Bin It, our theme this month is ‘New Music’, tracks from the past 2-3 months.

                    —– Part 1 | The Weather Station | Humanhood —–

One of the rare times that we’ve double dipped on artist, we return to Tamara Linderman and The Weather Station. In 2021 we all (eventually) loved Ignorance. An album focusing largely on nature and the climate crisis. It was an album of global concerns. Humanhood is feels quite different, it feels deeply personal but retains global relevance in different ways.

I think this is going to be a big one for the pod this year. I know Joey and David will love this album but not so sure about Nolan and Guy. We discuss the album in comparison to Ignorance, we talk about production and sound mixing, percussion backing vocals and lovely lovely woodwind.

• Listen to the album here.
• Listen to the essential Sheroes podcast interview with Tamara here.

                            —– Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New Music —–

January / February is usually a great time for new tracks. This year is no exception. Let’s celebrate that. We each pick a new track and ask each other ‘Spin It or Bin It?’

• Guy chose Orlando In Love by Japanese Breakfast.
• Joey chose Ocean Steppin’ by John Glacier and Sampha.
• David chose One Foot by Greentea Peng.
• Nolan chose Lalala by Redman and Method Man.

Here is a link to a long list of new tracks that we put together. Enjoy.
