Ep. 45 | Vampire Weekend | Only God Was Above Us

Welcome to Episode 45 of This is Not Happening.  An Album of
the Month Podcast where 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, we dive right into the deep-end of 'Only
God Was Above Us' the new album from TINH favourite (at least 3
of us) Vampire Weekend.  This month we're in the capable
hands of Nolan who has introduces the album and guides us through
some key questions and an interesting conversation. In Part 2 we
play Spin it or Bin It with songs that are all. 'a little bit
country'.
Part 1 | Vampire Weekend | Only God Was Above Us

My god Vampire Weekend can write a song! And this album really
proves that. We answer (or at least attempt to answer) some big
questions - is this best Vampire Weekend album? How do you pick a
favourite track when they're all so good and do such different
things.

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'A little bit country'
Country is massive in 2024 ... and Guy hates it. So,
what other theme could we choose? The clue is in the title, the
tracks only have to be 'a little bit country'. 4 Track playlist
of our chosen tracks is here.


Guy chose - 'Bittersweet, TN' by Kevin Morby and Erin
Rae.

Nolan chose -'Candle' by Buck Meek.

Joey chose - 'One of these days'  by Bedouine
