This month we struggle with very conscious bias when we discuss how much we love Perfume Genius' new album Glory. Welcome to Episode 57 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 is in the seat and basically bangs on about how much he loves Perfume Genius.
In Part 2, we celebrate contemporary queer music and play Spin It or Bin It with the theme. Joey's track is unfairly and poorly treated ... as is David's but two other bangers make up for it.
----- Part 1 | Perfume Genius | 'Glory' -----
I love Perfume Genius. Always have ... barring something horrific happening, I always will. I love him so much that I get nervous when a new album comes out. And this one is a belter. But is it for the fan-people or is there enough to attract and entertain newcomers?
Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think.
- Listen to the album ... HERE.
- Listen to the Soda Jerker podcast that we mention ... HERE.

----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Contemporary Queer' -----
Music has always been massive to the Gay and Queer community and has always been an interesting area of crossover. Has it changed? What ever, we're here to celebrate.
- David chose 'Cinderella' by Model/Actriz.
- Joey chose 'The Giver' by Chappell Roan.
- Nolan chose 'Blind (Frankie Knuckles Remix' by Hercules and Love Affair
- Guy chose 'Tilted' by Christine and the Queens.
Here is a link to our 16 track playlist of religion-inspired tracks - with the first 4 tracks being our picks for this month.
