Welcome to Episode 67 of This Is Not Happening. An Album of the Month podcast.

In Part 1, we do a deep drive review of our Album of the Month. This month Joey brings a slice of sophisticated, R&B tinged pop with Eliza's Jill latest album 'The Darkening Green'.

In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month the theme is 'Sophisticated Pop'.

------ Part 1 | Album of the Month | Eliza | The Darkening Green ------

Eliza is an enigma. She has recorded under a different name but has been recording under 'Eliza' for the past 10 years or so.

After 3 long, very complex albums on the pod we take a new direction, 9 tracks and 35 minutes of sophisticated pop, stylish soul driven vibes. Its full of grooves, it's full of tunes and its full of all of the emotions. I have become quite obsessed with this and am recommending it to everyone.

• Listen to the original album here.
• Read some interviews and bits here and here.
• If you love this album like I do ... buy it here.

---------------- Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | New Music ----------------

The theme is Sophisticaed Pop ... but we also get a bit confused between this and 'sophisti-pop' and to be honest, Nolan looses his shit.

The task is pick a track that fits the theme, the objective, get more 'spins' than your friends. We each pick four tracks for a 16 track play list . We then each pick select 1 track and ask the simple question 'Spin It Or Bin It'?

• Nolan chose 'Dance Little Sister' by Sanada Maitreya.
• David chose 'Uncertain Smile' by The The.
• Joey chose 'Sweetest Taboo' by Sade.
• Guy chose 'Hold me Now' by Thompson Twins.

We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/
