Another month, another pod. Welcome to Episode 53 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'. This is where we pick a theme and each select a song that represents that theme. We judge each others selections by asking the question 'Spin It or Bin It'?This month, in Part 1, Guy hosts an interesting discussion on Father John Misty's (FJM) latest album, Mahashmashana. 50% of the Pod love FJM, 50% don't!In Part 2, Spin It or Bin It, our theme this month is 'Location, Location, Location', or 'songs about places' and it's a belter!Part 1 | Father John Misty | MahashmashanaWe often review artists that we all love. This month this is not the case. 2 of us love FJM, one of us gets very angry when listening to FJM and one of us doesn't really have an opinion. Can this album keep the fans happy and win over the angry and the non-plussed?Given the above, this is a surprisingly well mannered and coherent conversation about FJMs latest album. There's only 8 tracks but they're all pretty long. We discuss songwriting, song length and album themes like ageing and the associated ego deaths that accompany it.Listen to the album ... HEREWatch some of the videos for the tracks discussed ... HEREWatch the World Cafe interview that we reference on the pod ... HEREWatch a live performance of lead single 'She Cleans Up' ... HEREPart 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'Location, Location, Location'Songs about places are really common. It's a theme explored by many (most?) artists at some point in their songwriting. This was a great chat and 4 great track selections.Guy chose Paris by Friendly Fires feat. Au Revioire Simone.Nolan chose New York State of Mind by Nas.Joey chose Welcome to Jamrock by Damien Marley.David chose Tobacco Road by Bobby Gentry.Here is a 16 track playlist where we all contribute 4 Location, Location, Location themed tracks to an extended playlist.Chapters: 00:00:00 - Intro00:02:10 - Album of the Month00:06:26 - What Do You Expect and What Did You Get?00:18:40 - Album style and themes00:27:30 - The 'character' Father John Misty00:38:56 - We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/

We recently had the pleasure of connecting with Wurk, a 6-piece funk-fusion group that seamlessly weaves elements of jazz fusion, prog rock, jam rock, and more into their music, all anchored by those irresistible funk grooves. In our conversation, we delved into their beginnings, the diverse influences that shape their sound, their upcoming new music, and an exciting show slated for the Mid West Music Fest this November.You can find more conversations at lacrosselocal.com.Photo by Shatter Imagery

The Day I Became a Hurricane (Hooked on Books Jamrock, 2022) is a children's educational book on hurricanes written by Dr. Rose-Ann Smith. Based on current research on natural disasters and disaster risk management, the book aims to educate children on the development of a hurricane and its impacts. It introduces them to hurricane preparedness while seamlessly interweaving an underlying story about self-acceptance and self-identity. The book therefore manages to accomplish a lot, not only imbuing practical knowledge about hurricanes, but also teaching children important life lessons concerning the perils of peer pressure and getting carried away with power, as well as the importance of accepting yourself for who you are. The book is meant for children in grades 1 to 5 but can be enjoyed by persons of any age who wish to learn more about hurricanes, serving as a very creative means of information dissemination on the topic. Dr. Smith holds a PhD in Human Geography. She is a lecturer and consultant in disaster risk management and climate change adaptation based at the Department of Geography and Geology, the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. Dr. Smith is passionate about community development and community-based disaster risk management, with a strong focus on resilience building and sustainable livelihoods. Her other areas of interest include cultural tourism, eco-tourism, environmental management, and issues faced by indigenous populations and other highly vulnerable groups. She also believes that children are central to disaster risk reduction. The Day I Became a Hurricane is her first piece of children's literature, and marks the first in a series of books she hopes to develop to educate children on disasters. Aleem Mahabir is a PhD candidate in Geography at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica. His research interests lie at the intersection of Urban Geography, Social Exclusion and Psychology. His dissertation research focuses on the link among negative psychosocial dispositions, exclusion, and under-development among marginalized communities in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

In the fifth episode of "Ring the Alarm," a special series in partnership with the Advocate Magazine, award-winning journalist Jasmyne Cannick continues with her exclusive look inside Jamaica, one of the world's most homophobic and transphobic countries. 18-year-old Keneil grew up in Jamaica, where he was sexually abused at home starting at the age of 8 years old. Because of the isolation and denial he faced from his mother, and narrowly escaping a murder attempt, Keneil tried to commit suicide several times. After being disowned by his mother, Keneil lived in abandoned buildings with no food. He recently found housing at the Unity Fellowship Church Jamaica safe house, where he is receiving support and is now awaiting relocation assistance to another county that is more accepting of LGBTQ people. Through it all, the teenager has managed to smile, remain hopeful, and look forward to living a life where he can be free, even if it means being away from his family and the country he is from.Please note that this episode contains depictions of suicide and sexual violence that some people may find disturbing.
