Given the Heat of the week's sunshine, it's time to get dramatic, but not in a criminal fashion, as is the style of the main character of this week's show. Brian Lloyd joins Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan as he directs their attention to some of his favourite and some of the most iconic needle drops seen across the filmography of show-favourite director Michael Mann. Over on NO ENCORE's Patreon feed, you can also find the most recent Album Club episode on Turnstile's GLOW ON from 2021, where Adam shares his thoughts having gone into the record completely blind. This coming Monday Dave and Andy McCarroll will also be taking a look at The Usual Suspects on Film Club, Andy's favourite movie of all time, so tune in to see if Dave agrees or disagrees with that one... Anyway, let's roll camera on this week's proceedings. ACT ONE: Brian saw the new Mission: Impossible movie and gives us a preview, and Adam enacts a pseudo-takeover of the Sunday of this year's Forbidden Fruit festival. ACT TWO (9:01): A little rumination on Kanye's latest controversy, Taylor Swift is served, Creed take things faster rather than Higher, Daryl Hall is once again a curmudgeon (this time about yacht rock), Oasis' new album is fake news according to their management, Foo Fighters announce their public comeback later this year and we return to our beloved Kiss Korner– it's the news.

Giddy up! Join us as Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan saddle-up alongside Clare Martin, contributor at Paste Magazine, to gallop into some of the finest equestrian-adjacent musical numbers the world has to offer. And while we have you, why not canter on over to the NO ENCORE Patreon, where you'll find our most recent Film Club episode on The Counselor, in which Dave desperately tries to make the argument for a misunderstood masterpiece even though most critics - including his co-host Andy McCarroll - prefer to regard the Ridley Scott / Cormac McCarthy team-up as one of the worst films of modern times. We've also got a forthcoming edition of Adam's Album Club landing this Monday for your enjoyment. All for a mere €5 per month - you'd be mad to miss it. Anyway, onwards to the show! Open the stable doors, or something... ACT ONE: Dave shares some constructive feedback from a listener. He's not mad, just disappointed. ACT TWO (12:08): Adam gives a brief F1: The Album update, Lady Gaga sets a new crowd record in Brazil as local police foil a bomb plot, a Timotheé Chalamet appearance at Glastonbury is teased, Rihanna announces an exciting new release, Katy Perry offers up a lot of words to her haters, Lorde also breaks out the purple prose, Gloria Gaynor weighs in on the whole 'feminism' thing, Billy Corgan spills the tea for a second time, and we return to our beloved Kiss Korner– it's the news.

It's time to activate as many guitar pedals as we have and get moody. Let us enter the dreamy, pensive sphere of the shoegaze genre, and who better to be joined by than first-time guest, shoegaze-enthusiast and Cable Boy frontman Semi Olusa to guide Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan through the haze and reverb of it all. That's not all that's on offer though; on the NO ENCORE Patreon, you can find weekly bonus episodes including this week's Album Club where Adam takes a look back to 2001 to discuss Daft Punk's broadly-acclaimed second album Discovery. This coming Monday, you'll also find Dave and Andy McCarroll return to their Film Club antics to break down and discuss 2013 Ridley Scott crime-thriller The Counselor, which includes an all-star cast for the ages including our very own hometown hero Michael Fassbender – oh, and by the way, many regard this as the worst film ever made, not to be missed! But onwards to the show ahead... ACT ONE: Semi tells us about Cable Boy and new music ahead of their headline show in Bello Bar at the end of the month. ACT TWO (40:20): A moment for legendary Irish lighting engineer Conor Biddle who passed away last week, the latest on Kneecap as they continue to make global headlines for their political statements and beliefs, Ryan Coogler talks Irish trad, Ben Affleck names his hip-hop Mount Rushmore and Dizzee Rascal on upskilling – it's the news.

Let's get avant-garde and abstract - it's time to throw it back to 1970s downtown New York City for this week's Top 5 countdown. Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan know next-to-nothing about this genre, so thankfully they have Dublin-based roustabout Skinner on board to take them through it.
