226: TOP 5 ANIMAL CRACKERS / GLASS ANIMALS REVIEW

Dave is proud of that top five moniker but will he be as happy when the actual rundown occurs? Only one way to find out, dear listener, as NO ENCORE returns for a brand new episode set against a backdrop of a ferocious dead heat.

ACT ONE [4:51]: A whimsical news section takes in the American Song Contest, yet more problematic concert gatherings, Nick Cave addressing cancel culture, Lewis Capaldi cancelling himself and why you maybe shouldn't go down to the woods today.

ACT TWO [31:22]: Beloved art-pop outfit Glass Animals bounce back from a near-death experience to take us into their Dreamland. Are the guys up for the high-concept adventure?

ACT THREE [52:32]: The top five is here as Songs About Animals roar into focus.
