Let's revitalise. Adam and Dave are joined in-studio by Rebecca Breene McDonnell; artist manager, music PR and co-creator of Art to Art; a video series you've likely seen pop up in your feeds where artists interview one another about their respective processes and wherever the conversation takes them. It's very good, so be sure to check it out once you're done with this episode. As for this conversation, there is much to discuss as ever so let's get involved - do also get involved on the NO ENCORE Patreon as the Film Club and Album Club put more numbers on the boards. ACT ONE: We learn about Rebecca's passion project Art to Art, the many facets of its construction, and the vast cast of characters at the heart of it.ACT TWO (37:01): Spotify dominates this week's news section as the curtain is pulled back on artist profitability (spoiler: not good) and new AI regulations (could be better). There's also check-ins with The Weeknd, Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, and Travis Barker, plus some words for the late William Orbit.ACT THREE (1:10:22): Top 5 Healing Songs

The Dave & Adam Express is back, powering along the rails once more as the boys keep things in-house for what is a very busy episode indeed. Having briefly touched on the passing of Glen Hansard last week, we take the time to focus on the extraordinary reaction to his death, from extensive media coverage to divisive online commentary to headline-making funeral arrangements. Beyond that, you've got a Dave-fronted Top 5 that he insists is one of his best in a long time (while also being fully aware he rarely does such selections of his own these days).Don't forget to sign up to the NO ENCORE Patreon for extra episodes - Adam's latest Album Club is a must-listen for Sunny Day Real Estate fans, while Adam also leads the charge on the next Film Club as Chris Hemsworth's Extraction series finds itself in our crosshairs. And now, on with the show... ACT ONE: Preamble. ACT TWO (12:20): Let's talk about Glen Hansard. ACT THREE (35:04): Top 5 Good Songs in Bad Movies
