TOP 5 FOREVER SONGS ft. Cable Boy

4/17/2026
Forever. Infinite. For all of time. Semi Olusa and Corneille Tshibasu of indie shoegaze, "goth-disco" band Cable Boy set out their stall upon the now-present release of their debut album FOREVER as they join Dave and Adam this week to talk about five songs that perfectly encapsulate the idea of something everlasting. FOREVER is out now as of this podcast dropping, so get it wherever you get your music! And speaking of good music, the Justin Timberlake Album Club train continues to trudge on as this edition will consist of discussions of his sophomore album FutureSex/LoveSounds, an album Adam had an enormous moment with at the time – even moreso than the one he had with Justified. That's with you on Monday. However, to keep your spirits high (stratospheric, even), a feature-length Film Club already awaits in the feed in the form of Dave, Andy, and special guest Will Slattery discussing Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, and all-things NASA misgivings, the Chris Nolan filmography and much, much more. Sign up to the NO ENCORE Patreon now for exclusive access to Film Club, Album Club, nearly 100 bonus episodes, ad-free and early access to every weekly podcast, and our everlasting love. Speaking of everlasting, let's get into the show ahead! ACT ONE: The preamble, in which we discuss a great many things! ACT TWO (21:24): Semi and Corn tell us more about Cable Boy's debut album FOREVER. ACT THREE (42:55): A Coachella speed run, the end of the Chappell Roan Saga, the Michael Jackson biopic unsurprisingly leaves some very important info on the cutting room floor, Dolly Parton proves to be very popular (who knew?), Doja Cat takes aim at Roblox, Violet Grohl speaks out (but not about that) and a hilarious encounter between Trent Reznor and Tom DeLonge comes to light– it's a packed news section. ACT FOUR (1:24:02): Top 5 Forever Songs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TOP 5 FIGURE SKATING SONGS ft. Sarah McKenna Barry

4/10/2026
Let's kick some ice. That's a line from notorious nightmare Batman & Robin from the year 1997. Walk, don't run. Thankfully, Dave and Adam are joined this week by the much more delightful Sarah McKenna Barry; outgoing editor of GCN Magazine and expert on the kind of performing arts that make Timothée Chalamet shudder. Speaking of, her Top 5 invites you to get your skates on, as it were. Plenty of news to get through before that but do NOT miss out on our Patreon if you've yet to jump in - we're on a heater with recent Album Clubs on Justin Timberlake and Industry, and our next Film Club spectacular, due out this Monday, talking all things Christopher Nolan and Interstellar with special guest Will Slattery of Indo Sport and The Left Wing fame. Now, onto this week's business... ACT ONE: The preamble in which - yes - we ramble. ACT TWO (12:20): Kanye West banned from Britain as the Benn Bong finally sounds again, hipster darlings Sky Ferreira and Charli XCX become entangled in a feud, Ashlee Simpson wants another shot at the big time, the Bono Box is pried open, and the Chappell Roan saga somehow continues to drag on - it's the news. ACT THREE (59:27): Top 5 Figure Skating Songs Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TOP 5 IS THIS A JOKE? ft. Zara Hedderman

4/3/2026
If you've ever heard a song so bizarre that you've asked yourself "how the hell did this get made?", then boy have we got the podcast for you. Timely that we're recording on April Fools' Day as we welcome Friend of The Show and music journalist extraordinaire Zara Hedderman back to the studio in order to shine the spotlight on some of the most ridiculous music offerings in existence and see if the joke is on us or the artists that released her selections. Other things that might make you laugh (and in a far less ironic way) is our NO ENCORE Bonus material that you can get over on our Patreon – sign up now to hear the latest Film Club episode as Dave and Andy accept Richard Chambers into their training programme for Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke's Training Day from 2001. Adam is back to Album Club corner on Monday forthcoming, and recent events discussed on the podcast have inspired a deep dive on Justified, the 2002 debut solo album from none other than Justin Timberlake. Certainly a lot less difficult to explain than the world tour, and plenty to talk about within. That's landing on Monday coming. Here's how we're looking this week: ACT ONE: Zara catches us up on her adventures to see Cameron Winter's Geese in London. ACT TWO (9:47): Bob Dylan takes to Patreon with new (literary) works, an update on the Chappell Roan events of recent, Kid Rock gets the US Army in some hot water, Bob Marley's dreadlock goes under the hammer and Shaq hits back about sliding into Sabrina Carpenter's DMs – it's the news. ACT THREE (46:11): Top 5 Is This A Joke? - Zara's The Bad Arts on Substack Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TOP 5 MELANCHOLIC DAMON ALBARN ft. Craig Fitzpatrick

3/27/2026
We’re back! And after an impromptu break from proceedings we can’t wait to welcome our wonderful former co-host Craig Fitzpatrick back to the show and he’ll be listing his five favourites from Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn to boot. On feeds elsewhere, our bonus Patreon episodes continue at pace as, despite putting a pin in the main feed, Adam’s Album Club on Nathan Micay’s Industry Season 1 OST, with some great reflections and some possibly not-so-great discoveries. Ahead, next Monday you can expect the Film Club hot streak to continue as Dave and Andy are joined by frequent flier Richard Chambers to discuss the capsule thriller that is Training Day with Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington. Plenty of maniacal madness within. You can get your very own access to weekly bonus episodes now by signing up to our NO ENCORE Patreon here for €5 per month. That’s not all the celebrations, though. Let’s get to it. ACT ONE: The preamble, in which we briefly reflect on a whole decade of NO ENCORE. ACT TWO (10:59): Chappell Roan’s recent controversy in Brazil and all of the fallout within, Justin Timberlake’s arrest footage released, some incredible nostalgia at college basketball in the US, updates on Sebastian Bach and Moby, a Bon Jovi biopic and a brief note on The Pussycat Dolls’ comeback – it’s the news ACT THREE (59:04): Top 5 Damon Albarn Hosted on Acast.

PATREON UNLOCKED: ALBUM CLUB #36 | Tandem Felix - Rom-Com (2019) with David Tapley

3/20/2026
Unfortunately we have no new main feed episode this week as Adam has fallen sick, but please do enjoy this peek behind the paywall. Friend of the show and original NO ENCORE Roving Reporter David A. Tapley joined an Adam in much better health for Album Club before Christmas to examine Rom-Com, the debut Tandem Felix album from 2019 in a feature-length conversation. Album Club and Film Club are weekly staples on the NO ENCORE Patreon as well as other bonus episodes, weekly previews and ad-free content.

TOP 5 SONGS WITH MOVIE SAMPLES

3/13/2026
It'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 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

TOP 5 NEO-TRAD ft. Hugh Mac Giolla Chearra

3/6/2026
It 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. Have you hit up the NO ENCORE PATREON yet? A mere fiver unlocks countless hours of bonus audio including our most recent Film Club on the incredibly problematic Scream 7. Get on over to patreon.com/noencore today! As for this episode right here... ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. ACT TWO (6:34): A mention of the work of Glenn Keating in the wake of his his very untimely passing, the numerics of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Half Time spectacular, the long-awaited return of Nile Rodgers & Chic to Ireland, Justin Timberlake's attempts to salvage the tour, the frontrunner for the next Bond theme, Billy Corgan's musings on the apparent marginalisation of rock, and a strange Brat Pitt / Sebastian Bach story.

TOP 5 MILLENIAL CRINGE ANTHEMS ft. Tessa Ndjonkou

2/27/2026
Some 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.
