xpost Come on it's Jams Murphy - he subject to different criteria. Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga called their hotly-anticipated album 'This is Happening'.
Although i kind of see yr point.

Merriam-Webster says:
Main Entry: happeningFunction: nounDate: 15511 : something that happens : occurrence2 : an event or series of events designed to evoke a spontaneous reaction to sensory, emotional, or spiritual stimuli3 : something (as an event) that is particularly interesting, entertaining, or important
1 : something that happens : occurrence2 : an event or series of events designed to evoke a spontaneous reaction to sensory, emotional, or spiritual stimuli3 : something (as an event) that is particularly interesting, entertaining, or important
Thinking the second and/or third definitions are most relevant to this album.

I'm pretty sure it's also going to be something that happens though.

Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?

This has been killing me for the last couple hours. Bruce Springsteen's The River is almost it, but not quite.
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:17 (sixteen years ago)
it reminds you of franz ferdinand, and corporations
― max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:18 (sixteen years ago)
No! I don't even understand that! Isn't Franz Ferdinand's aesthetic like Eastern Bloc propaganda or something?
― kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:20 (sixteen years ago)
Man, Franz Ferdinand. Missing 2004 right now.

any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo
