The awesome albums keep coming early in 2025 and we’d love to introduce on to you today. Welcome to Episode 55 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, Nolan, resident Hip Hop head stays true to form and brings a new album from a 47 year old artist! Brother Ali’s ‘Satisfied Soul’.

In Part 2, following Brother Ali’s exploration of peace, love, faith and religion, our Spin It or Bin It, our theme this month is ‘Religion’.

                               —– Part 1 | Brother Ali | Satisfied Soul —–

Nolan has been trying to introduce Brother Ali to us for years but … there’s a lot of music and not a lot of time. Previous album releases have not lined up with podcasts but this time they did! Satisfied Soul is an album that is worth any music fan spending some time with. It is not a niche hip hop album for niche hip hop fans. It’s soul music. It’s pop music. It’s Hip Hop. It’s intelligent. It’s massively thought provoking and massively accessible to anyone with an open mind and an open ear. 

Get on it. Please.

• Listen to the album here.
• This track is not from this album … but too good not to share Cadillac.
• Nolan’s awesome ‘Intro to Brother Ali’ playlist can be found here.
• Buy some stuff here.               

                             —– Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | ‘Religion’ —–

Popular music and religion have been uncomfortable bedfellows since … forever. We agreed to each select a track that ‘tackles’ the theme of religion in any way shape or form;

• Joey chose Tennessee by Arrested Development.
• David chose Dear God by XTC.
• Guy chose Stand on the Word by The Joubert Singers.
• Nolan chose Name of God by Mustafa.

Here is a link to a this 4 track playlist.
