TOP 5 NONSENSE SONGS ft. Max Zanga

Ep. 430

Autumnal gloom has set in and the only way is down after Zara Hedderman's all-timer of a Top 5 on the previous episode, right? 


WRONG! Despite the astounding heights of that aforementioned T5, we're keeping the energy supercharged with the returning Max Zanga, present in-studio as a representative of mysterious rising solo talent Filmore!, who definitely is a different person than Max, honest. 


The new Filmore! EP is called Idle Death Gamble and it's really very good indeed, and so we talk about that and the overall project at large. 


Elsewhere, we've got a truly nonsensical Top 5, and a grab-bag of news to get through...


And don't forget to hit up patreon.com/noencore, we've got a new Film Club episode dropping this Sunday, all about sweaty and problematic 1993 thriller Falling Down.


ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. 


ACT TWO: Filmore! in conversation. Kinda. 


ACT THREE (31:54): News! Robert Smith bashes Oasis, Taylor Swiftonomics keeps on churning out the goods, Donald Trump reveals his megamix, Atomic Kitten are still a thing, and some words for the late, great Ka. 


ACT FOUR (1:04:32): Top 5 Nonsense Songs.

    Roll up, roll up, for one week only, it's NO JONKORE~!In honour of the release of UNTITLED CLOWN FILM PART 2, we've slapped on the greasepaint and the big red noses and other assorted terrifying jester-themed accoutrements. We've also invited the great Jenn Gannon back to the studio so that we can properly celebrate the life and times of one Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka... Lady Gaga.Jenn has trained for this one for years without even realising it, given her committed fandom for all things Gaga. And so, she is on hand to deliver the definitive Top 5 for Little Monsters and unimpressed sceptics alike. Meanwhile, there's a jam-packed news section and yet more gushing over Industry, because why not?ACT ONE (11:30): Kris Kristofferson RIP, Oasis learn their lesson, a Last Dinner Party gig goes strangely awry, Chappell Roan takes a break, an unidentified man wastes money on a Taylor Swift guitar, Corey Taylor weighs in on the Dave Grohl debate, Coldplay renege on retirement plans, and Pitchfork get premature - it's the week in music news! ACT TWO (51:57): Top 5 Lady Gaga-Follow Jenn Gannon on X / Instagram

  • 426. TOP 5 SONGS ABOUT DATES ft. Colm O'Regan

    01:11:09||Ep. 426
    Not like romantic dates, you understand. The ones on your calendar, that's what we mean. And by 'we', we mean returning NO ENCORE original Colm O'Regan, who takes the co-host microphone up this week alongside Dave and Adam. Before we get to this week's hijinks, a reminder that our Patreon is booming with bonus content right now: Adam's latest Album Club is live and features a deep-dive into D'Angelo classic Voodoo, whilst Dave re-teams with Michael Pope for a brand new Film Club this Sunday, all about classic 1990 chiller Misery. Sign up at patreon.com/noencore for all extra audio. As for this episode right here, it breaks down thusly: ACT ONE (6:01): The week in music news takes in some feisty feud action in the world of rock as Jane's Addiction falls apart, Fontaines D.C. and Oasis throw some verbal broadsides at each other, and The Smiths do likewise. Meanwhile, Gene Simmons has his say, Mark Hoppus announces a new project, and music clashes with the beautiful game in doubly odd fashion. ACT TWO (33:14): Top 5 Songs About Dates
