This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast

In Part 1 we speak in depth about Rozi Plain's new album 'Prize'. It's a curious, warming gem of an album that really needs to be talked about. In Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it?', the theme this month is Protest Music.
Part 1 | Album of the Month | Rozi Plain | Prize
David's choice this month is an artist that he has a long relationship with, Rozi Plain. Rozi was new to the rest of us so we were all playing catch up. I can't remember an album that needs to be talked about (in real life, with human beings) as Prize. You will hear me processing what I actually feel about the album, live, while we discuss it. I think I probably come out of the discussion with a slightly different conclusion to the one that I had at the start. All good albums get better with more attention but this one absolutely demands it.
Please, please, please go and give it a listen. I think most people will find something that they love about this album.

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Protest Music
We all pick a track based on a theme, present the track and ask the simple question, Spin it or Bin it? The theme this month is a simple one 'Protest Music'. There are no limitations or rules this month other than, as always, we try to bring new music or a new context to each other.

1. Guy chose - 'Take the Power Back' by Rage Against the Machine
2. David Chose - 'Ship Building' by Elvis Costello & the Attractions
3. Joey chose - 'Reagan' by Killer Mike
4. Nolan chose - 'Four Women' by Nina Simone

A 16 track Protest Music playlist (4 tracks each) can be found - Here

Next Month
Guy brings Young Fathers 'Heavy Heavy' for Album of the Month and we play 'Spin It or Bin It?' with Post-Genre tracks.
