NO ENCORE
TOP 5 MUSIC THAT DOESN'T EXIST
Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?
Well, the music featuring in this week's Top 5 may or may not be real, but we're embarking on the first Dave & Adam solo show of the year to bring it to life for you regardless of it's physical state. It's a dual selection this week with five from each of our faithful co-hosts as we dive into the unknown. Who know's what we will discover together?
Something you can discover if you are yet to is our NO ENCORE Patreon, packed with bonus content including Dave & Andy's Film Club examination of the allegorical and divisive mother!, and next week Adam returns to Album Club corner to discuss Mura Masa's self-titled debut – all for as little as €5 per month, or a 10% discount if you sign up for an annual membership!
Onwards, into the void.
ACT ONE: The preamble, in which of course we ramble and Dave provides a post-match Deftones gig analysis.
ACT TWO (19:22): Casey Wasserman Down, Harry Styles gets reminiscent, Daniel Radcliffe's all-time favourite gig performance, Josh Freese sets the record straight on Foo Fighters dismissal, a contentious President-ial address and a return to our beloved Kiss Korner - it's the news.
ACT THREE (45:46): Top 5 Music That Doesn't Exist

01:41:28||Ep. 488It's a return to our faithful hosts duelling it out with their respective Top 5 selections this week, and it's one to grab yourself some popcorn and snacks for as Dave and Adam take a look at some songs that have turned to the silver screen to elevate themselves in one way or another.Speaking of silver screen, Dave will be returning to the Film Club with Andy McCarroll and special guest Lucien Waugh Daly over on the NO ENCORE Patreon, to discuss the wild, wacky and wonderful(?) Mrs. Doubtfire in what could be the greatest Film Club episode to date.And if you just can't wait for that, Adam's Album Club putting the magnifying glass to Deftones' White Pony with recent guest and Deftones scholar Danny Kilmartin will surely tide you over until then – an hour and forty minutes of pure analysis and, if I do say so, some great conversation.Let's all go to the lobby!ACT ONE: The preamble, in which, of course, we ramble.ACT TWO (8:03): Timothée Chalamet is under fire for dissing opera and ballet and we have plenty of commentary, including from our own ballet correspondent, Charlie Puth hitches his horse to the AI wagon alongside Boy George, Celta Vigo and Madonna are engaged in talks and Kid Rock just can't seem to catch a break – it's the news.ACT THREE (42:14): Top 5 Songs With Movie Samples

01:52:52||Ep. 487It might sound violent, but the genre of neo-traditional music contains multitudes, and who better to guide us through its cultural expanse than a man who contains plenty of his own conflicting layers; the one, the only RTÉ 2FM sensation that is Hugh Carr~!Elsewhere, Dave gets to grips with his new commute.

486. TOP 5 MILLENIAL CRINGE ANTHEMS ft. Tessa Ndjonkou
02:19:33||Ep. 486Some say millennials have a lot to answer for. Well on this podcast, we very much prove that to be true.On this week's NO ENCORE-proper, we're joined by Newstalk digital journalist Tessa Ndjonkou for a return to Sonic Architowers as we examine a generational level of cringe (literally) via our preferred medium of music. Believe us, there's no shortage.Something that is far from cringeworthy, however, is the NO ENCORE Patreon where we have plenty of bonus content for you to enjoy including Adam's recent Album Club on Mura Masa's debut self-titled effort, including a wonderfully-coincidental call-back to our recent Top 5.As if that wasn't good enough, forthcoming for Dave and Andy's Film Club is a post-match analysis of the new Scream 7 movie (or SCRE7M as we've been affectionately calling it) immediately after the premiere. Finger-on-the-pulse podcasting right there. All for €5 per month and annual memberships come with a 10% discount.On to the show!ACT ONE: Dave attended his beloved WU LYF live in concert not once, but twice over the weekend and Adam made a valiant attempt to snatch up some of those highly sought-after Foo Fighters tickets for their show in The Academy, and they have plenty to talk about.ACT TWO (44:15): Enter Tessa! A brief Industry love-in pre-news, controversy at the BAFTAs, MET Gala theme revealed(?), Alysa Liu's musical selections bring their own kind of Gold certification at the Winter Olympics, Nicki Minaj and her bots and Homer Simpson's AI covers are causing a bit of a stir with a certain hipster platform – it's the news.ACT THREE (1:33:19): Top 5 Millenial Cringe Anthems
