EP. 58 | Lucy Dacus | Forever is a Feeling

This month's podcast could be re-titled 'How to Disagree Nicely.  Welcome to Episode 58 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, Guy is in the seat. He brings Lucy Dacus' new album, Forever is a Feeling for us to consider and discuss.

In Part 2, we celebrate the summer, it was hear, it has already gone. Nolan's specialist subject, the Summer Night track is our theme for Spin It or Bin It.

                            ----- Part 1 | Lucy Dacus | 'Forever is a Feeling' -----

We have varying levels of experience and history with Lucy Dacus but Guy has fallen for this album in a big way. It's Lucy's 4th solo album and sits alongside her work as part of Boygenius. The album is a really easy listen, it can sit with you on repeat for a significant chunk of time. The question that we explore is, can penetrate beyond a nice listen ... opinions vary but at least one of us has this in their album of the year list at this point in the year.

Listen to the album, listen to the pod, tell us what you think. Here are some links that we mention on the pod or think could be useful to explore;

• Listen to the album ... HERE.
• Listen to the the 'A Deeper Listen interview / podcast ... HERE.
• Watch some videos (particularly the live performances) ... HERE.
• Buy some stuff ... HERE.       

                          ----- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Summer Nights' -----

The theme this month is 'Summer Nights'. Which tracks give us big summer night vibes. Ever since I've known Nolan he has always immediately given songs a season, I've never known anyone think as 'seasonally' about music. So no pressure but we play Spin It or Bin it with his specialist subject!

• David chose 'Tropical Gangsters' by Kid Creole & the Coconuts.
• Nolan chose 'Thinking About You' by Saraga.
• Joey chose 'Tomas'   by Girl Ultra, Empress Of and  Chromeo.
• Guy chose 'Fly Life Xtra' by Basement Jaxx.

Here is a link to our 16 track playlist of religion-inspired tracks - with the first 4 tracks being our picks for this month.
