TOP 5 POP BANGERS OF THE LATE 2000s ft. Richard Chambers

Ep. 391

Fire up your iPod Nano - or Classic, if you had such a thing - as we turn the clock back to an era where the tunes were huge, the clubs were hopping, and... to be honest I kind of hate myself for writing that sentence. The music was REALLY GOOD, is what I'm getting at. 


Ace newsman, author, podcaster, runner, and friend Richard Chambers returns to NO ENCORE HQ to keep Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam company on a beautifully nostalgic, endlessly energetic journey. 


There's also room for film criticism, concert etiquette, and plenty of news. And a mention for Richard's upcoming marathon in support of Women's Aid - you can donate right here. 


ACT ONE: Some fun meandering chat about the Andre 3000 album, Richard's visit to the cinema for the Taylor Swift concert movie, and his jaunt to the 3Arena for an intriguing Belters Only experience. 


ACT TWO (15:34): News! Hall & Oates are out of touch, Formula 1 gets another superstar boost, Kid Rock and Donald Trump join forces, and Christmas songs make their early mark. Bonus - Dave and Richard review The Killer and its musical component parts.


ACT THREE (42:48): Top 5 Pop Bangers of the Late 2000s.

  • OASIS TICKETS DYNAMIC PRICING ROW ft. Jim Carroll

    37:09|
    A national emergency (not really) provokes a bonus NO ENCORE (yes, really) as Dave Hanratty attempts to wrap his head around the great Oasis ticketing scandal of 2024. What a difference a week and some last-minute dynamic pricing make, eh? Last Saturday has been and gone, and so too have the hopes and dreams of many crushed Britpop fans. As for those who found their way to the top of a very long queue? Well, they either walked away in protest at a sudden colossal spike in ticket prices, or they're going to be budgeting hard for the next month to come. Call it dynamic pricing, call it an 'in demand' ticket, call it the price of doing ruthless business, call it plain old greed - whatever the phrasing, Liam and Noel Gallagher find themselves counting an awful lot of cash as many disgruntled fans suffer the cost. On this episode, Dave is joined by Jim Carroll, RTÉ Brainstorm editor and former (well, mostly) outspoken music journalist of renown, to examine the questionable mechanics of the Mancunian money machine.
