This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast

This Is Not Happening's third episode in September encounters Yves Tumor's monstrous Heaven To A Tortured Mind. Tumor's 4th album lands on Warp, and it's a melting pot of soul, funk and noise. A big listen that hit us all in different ways.
We'll also each be bringing a disco killer to the table, and deciding if we spin it, or bin it. The four dancefloor favourites are below, and we had all sorts of fun chewing through them:
Joey: Cloud One - Atmosphere Strut
David: William Onyeabor - Fanstastic Man
Nolan: Gino Soccio - Dancer
Guy: Cerrone - Hooked On You
The album of the month and all our favourite music discussion from the last decade is on the blog at www.thisisnothappening.net, which will run alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. So check them out so to see what we think about it all, and comment if something catches your eye. We'd love to see what you think.

Episode #4 will find us reviewing the incredible new album from mystery collective Sault. Untitled (Black Is) will land before the end of October.

Next Episode

Ep 4 - Sault - Untitled [Black Is]

This Is Not Happening sees our fourth episode in October talk about mysterious US/UK collective Sault's 3rd album, Untitled [Black Is]. It's an album we've had on our radar for a few months, so much so they released their 4th before we recorded! It's a shimmering work of modern soul, playing with the genres, and we loved digging into it.
We'll also each be bringing our own take on afro-centric music from across the amazing continent, and deciding again if we spin it, or bin it. The four cuts evoked all sorts of back and forth:
Guy: Joey Haarstrup - Wake Up Your Mind
Nolan: Steve Monite, Frankie Francis - Only You / Hafi Deo (Frankie Francis Disco Jam Edit)
Joey: Francis Bebey - The Coffee Cola Song
David: Ensen Dhaif - Emel
This album of the month and all our music discussions over the last ten years can be found on the blog at www.thisisnothappening.net, which will run alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. So check them out so to see what we like and where we clash, and comment if something catches your eye. We'd love to see what you think.

Episode #5 will see us reviewing the latest album from Sufjan Stevens. The Ascension is an opus that will keep us talking for sure, and will land before the end of November.
