Ep. 41 | Lana Del Rey | ... Ocean Blvd.

Welcome to Episode 41 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 go deep with Lana Del Ray for the first
time on TINH. LDR is one of the industry major players: few move
units or split opinions like her. Find out what we think. In Part
2, the Spin it or Bin it theme is 'A Song for January' where we
all chose a track that we think fits the theme and ask the others
'Spin It or Bin It'.

Part 1 | Lana Del Rey | Did you know there's a tunnel under
Ocean Blvd.

This is album no.9 for LDR and its a whopper. It's got a lot to
say and says it across 16 tracks. There are common LDR tropes and
new twists on what you might expect. We think it contains some of
the best music released in 2023 but is it all good? Can a 78
minute be brilliant from start to finish?

Part 2 | Spin It or Bin It | 'A song for January'
Well, that was an odd Episode of Spin It or Bin It!
The usual structure goes to the wall this month and it all gets a
bit loose. Nolan get's the hump, Joey gets all serious but
thankfully David and Guy clean up the mess and no blood was
spilled.


Nolan chose - 'Let me calm down'by Nicki Manaj (Feat.
J Cole).

Joey chose - 'Vamos A Andar' by Silvio
Rodriguez

Guy chose - 'Cocktail Chez Madmoiselle (remix)' by
Laurent Voulzy, Yuksek

David chose - 'Utopia' by Goldfrapp
