This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn podcast. Normal business resumes following last week's debut Film Club offering as Hugh Carr of iRadio fame returns to the co-host microphone, and he's got five bulletproof Fall Out Boy songs with him in honour of this week's rather nostalgia-fuelled main event. Throw in a stacked news section and it's all to play for on NO ENCORE this week. Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.ACT ONE (4:20): Following the tragic and untimely passing of Eoin French aka Talos, we try to find some words to honour the man's memory and the wonderful music he leaves behind. ACT TWO (10:10): Our weekly news section features a typically ebullient Melvin Benn, the Olympics closing ceremony overloading Shazam, Nine Inch Nails providing a valid reason to see a Jared Leto movie, Kurt Cobain sparking a thoroughly modern debate, Ian Wright being awesome, a producer of a classic pop song sounding off, and the most important songs of Bryan Danielson's life. ACT THREE (45:25): Top 5 Fall Out Boy Songs.-Follow Hugh Carr on Instagram / X / TikTokListen to Seansalaíthe Hosted on Acast.

A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample. Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film. Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it’s a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy. And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once? Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day. The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show. And remember; HACK THE PLANET~!-Follow Dave and Michael on Letterboxd Hosted on Acast.

Battle rap enthusiast Rudi Kinsella takes the coveted 'featured artist' tag as this week's NO ENCORE co-host, and he's only here to run down a bunch of off days and cash grabs by some of the best in the verbal business. It's time to highlight some of the best rappers in the game unleashing some of their most pathetic work ever recorded, all in the name of a special guest verse on someone else's track. Meanwhile, there's a.... fairly quiet news section. One of those weeks, sorry! Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.ACT ONE (7:05): Dave Matthews provokes an odious story, Green Day piss off the MAGA crowd, Gojira rock and shock the Olympic Games, the Sinéad O'Connor waxwork upsets everyone, and will we ever be free of The Kooks? It's the news. ACT TWO (40:21): Top 5 Bad Features by Good Rappers.-Follow Rudi Kinsella on Twitter/XFollow Rudi Kinsella on InstagramFollow Rudi Kinsella on TikTok Hosted on Acast.

This month, Sonic Architect Adam returns to the visual realm of the music industry for the first since late 2022 to speak to photographer (and sometimes tour manager and guitar tech) Glen Bollard.If you have any interest in live shows or follow any Irish music publications, there's a 99% chance you've seen one of Glen's pictures. He's photographed acts on-stage such as Billie Eilish, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Hozier, Post Malone, U2, Elton John and Stevie Wonder, as well as shooting live album covers for the likes of You Me At Six, and has had a shot of Biffy Clyro adorn the covers of Total Guitar Magazine. In this episode we discuss the inspirations and connections from the music world to the visual, as well as the many pinch-points of the industry in what could be one of the most open and honest discussions about sustainability in the music industry this series has seen to-date.*If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*-Follow Glen Bollard on Instagram / XGlen's Website Hosted on Acast.

NO ENCORE returns following Dave Hanratty's confectionery clown and professional wrestler-assisted birthday and subsequent bout with Covid-19! He's mostly refreshed if also understandably a little tired. Thankfully, the great Clare Martin of Paste Magazine and the recent episode we did about Swifties fame is here to inject some life - and some good fortune - into proceedings. It's all about the concept of luck this week, per Clare's chosen Top 5. So spin the wheel and see if your numbers come in. Or something. Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.ACT ONE (7:01): Dave finally confronts Brat Summer, Tenacious D are no more, Jonker 2 is back on the menu, the 'should we ban phones at shows?' debate rages on, and an inspired birthday present keeps things on the positive. ACT TWO (45:02): Top 5 Lucky Numbers-Follow Clare Martin on X Hosted on Acast.

Due to some illness this week, Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam bring to you an episode of the Patreon-exclusive Album Club series, a fortnightly album digest where we speak about albums we love, from our collection or otherwise, or albums voted for by Patrons. If you'd like to get all available episodes of Album Club in-full, more bonus episodes in the form of our past series NO AUX CORD and some Q&A episodes, early and ad-free access to all main feed episodes as well as weekly show previews, please consider supporting the show and joining us over at Patreon.com/NOENCORE.Regular programming resumes next week! -Welcome, welcome, to the second instalment of our Patreon-exclusive Album Club series, in which we pick an album we love - or have strong feelings about in one way or another - and attempt to express our relationship with it, and the act in question. Dave takes the reins this time around and the subject is a short-lived trio by the name of Reuben and their third - and final - album, In Nothing We Trust.So, cast your mind back to 2007 and whatever terrible fashion choices you made then, and allow Dave to recall his brief love affair with a band that proved to be perhaps a bit too shouty and clever-clever for a proper mainstream jaunt.  Hosted on Acast.

NO ENCORE is in unfamiliar territory this week thanks to last-minute technical issues, but thankfully there's a familiar face - and voice - for the company in the form of Internet comedy sensation Michael Fry. Per the man's wishes, it's time to take the express elevator to musical Hades as we tackle the songs that would soundtrack our own personal hell. Throw in a hopefully heavenly news section and you've got yourself a show, baby. Speaking of shows, be sure to check out Michael's new project Lunchtime with Michael Fry.Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.ACT ONE (7:54): Nicki Minaj upsets all of Dublin, Ronan Keating says Boyzone couldn't exist today, Hans Zimmer shreds, and Noel Gallagher whines - it's the news. ACT TWO (40:11): Top 5 Hell Songs-Michael Fry on X / Instagram Hosted on Acast.
