EP.70 | Olivia Rogrigo | You seem pretty sad … – This Is Not Happening – An Album Of The Month Podcast
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 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’?
