Ep 16 - Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever
Episode 16 of This Is Not Happening goes as big as it gets with Billie Eilish's new album, Happier Than Ever. Following angular synth and guitars of Lonelady in episode 15, we take an album that's already one of the most talked-about of the year, and delve into what it means for us, and the music world. David is bringing us this album.
In the second half of the episode, we go for intros, and pick out some of our favourite opening tracks of the albums we love. It's a mighty list, and we've also had some cracking shortlists from Guy here. The tracks we chose were:
Joey - Bjork - Human Behaviour from Debut (1993)
Guy - Etienne De Crecy - Le Patron Est Devenou Fou! - from Super Discount (1996)
David - Bill Withers - Harlem - from Just As I am (1971)
Nolan - A Tribe Called Quest - Excursions - from The Low End Theory by Tribe (1991)
October's album of the month and all our new tracks, playlists, and chat from the past decade or more can be found on our blog at www.thisisnothappening.net, which runs alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. Head down there and hopefully you'll like what we're talking about and if you do, we'd love to hear from you on the socials (links below).
Episode #17 arrives with a nod to the dancefloor from Nolan, who picks Dublin artist Mano Le Tough's At The Moment. This next episode will be landing before the end of November ahead of our review of the year in December.

This Is Not Happening - An Album Of The Month Podcast
Welcome to This Is Not Happening: an album of the month podcast with four massive music fans that have been talking and blogging about their favourite records for the last ten years together. An exiled Londoner in the North (Guy), a Leeds scriptwriter (David), ex-housemates in Leeds Joey and Nolan whose paths all crossed through music, be it festivals, DJing, gigs, or just sitting at home listening to entire albums without talking. Music is the bedrock of our friendship. The podcast name nods to our one nailed-on shared love: LCD Soundsystem, but our tastes are wide, sometimes odd, and often not the same! From bass to balearic, disco to dub, house to hip-hop, folk to funk, pop to punk, and rock to r'n'b, we'll all have music to champion, ready to be blessed or butchered by each other. Each episode we'll be talking freely about our album of the month, and what we've been listening to lately. The conversation twists and turns, and while we are serious about music, it's not so much that we can't enjoy ourselves talking about it, in fact it's why we do it. For everything we've loved in the past years, check out www.thisisnothappening.net, which will run alongside the podcast choices and much, much more. So why not join us for the conversation. It will always be lively....
