NO ENCORE

As the show takes a week off main feed duties, we've decided to treat you to a peek behind the paywall and bestow unto you the first part of our most recent Q&A series. In the first edition since December 2020 (yes, THAT long ago), we answer some of the most burning questions on offer such as our favourite ever Top 5, how myself and Dave met for the first time, our favourite venue that no longer exists, what theme tunes we'd give each other and many many more.

This is an example of the exclusive content that you get over on the NO ENCORE Patreon, with weekly bonus episodes (yes, even if the main feed is taking a holiday!), early and ad-free access to all main feed episodes, weekly previews, and much more. With over 100 bonus episodes, there's never been a better time to join us and dive into our bonus catalogue. We have (yes, still) yet to record part 2 so that will be amongst the bonus episodes upcoming!

Back to regular programming on May 22nd.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Let's slow things down a bit.

In our last pre-summer sabbatical edition, we are delighted to welcome back Dublin grime legend and DJ extraordinaire Mango to the podcast guest hot-seat for the first time in a very long time, and for an area of expertise he knows all to well from curating his monthly Smokebreaks & Handbrakes SoundCloud mixes; the slow jam.

Despite our main feed absence, you'll find we're business as usual over on the NO ENCORE Patreon feed, so be sure to sign up to keep your weekly dose of Dave and Adam topped up.

Already on the feed, you can find the good stuff from Film Club in the form of Dave and Andy's visit to Shutter Island, the Leo-led psychological horror/thriller combo. Does it hold up with our film experts today? Is this one of Leo's better performances? Did you guess the twist immediately? Tap in and let us know what you think!

Ahead, Adam's Album Club returns on Monday featuring the legendary Jenn Gannon AKA The Madonnoisseur as they look at Madge's seventh(!) studio album and widely regarded as her opus, Ray of Light from 1998. We've got it all in there; a Madonna discography speed-run, William Orbit chat, and a Madonna-to-a-modern-artist pipeline that you may not be expecting. That lands on Monday next!

But onwards to the show; dim the lights for this one...

ACT ONE: The preamble, in which, of course, we ramble.

ACT TWO (13:55): Michael storms the box office, Travis Scott University (kinda), Anthony Kiedis' girlfriend let's us in on how lucky he really is, Dave Grohl's guide on protecting your vocal cords and Spotify turns 20 - it's the news.

ACT THREE (56:32): Top 5 Slow Jams.

Time to kick it up a notch.

The Dave and Adam Express returns for duelling Top 5s and this edition sees our two hosts, both former drummers, revert to their weapon of choice to review and relive some of the most beautiful and iconic drum sounds to ever grace our ears; sounds which will hopefully ensnare you as much as it did our boys.

Keep your hats on though, because we've got bonus content for you over on the NO ENCORE Patreon! This week's comes in the form of Adam's Album Club in the first chronological continuation as he moves from his last episode examining Justin Timberlake's debut Justified to his sophomore album – the highly influential FutureSex/LoveSounds. An hour of that awaits you in the bonus feed right now.

Ahead, we tag in Film Club next Monday as Dave and Andy are committed to the asylum that is Shutter Island. A brilliant psychological thriller that warranted a revisit, but will our hosts lose their minds upon their return to the movie or will they prove that they were the sane ones after all? Tune in Monday to find out!

Ahead to the show, plenty to fill you in on...

ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble, and discuss Dave's recent appearance on the fantastic Boy Party Podcast – listen to that right here.

ACT TWO (10:32): Julian Casablancas puts his hot takes on record, the "Stop The Game" protest movement gains traction, Charli XCX leans into rock for her next album, Grimes lets us in on her AI fears, Phoebe Bridgers' silver screen debut, Fred Durst looks to set up a Coachella alternative and a One Direction documentary in the works has the brakes put on – it's the news.

ACT THREE (45:58): Top 5 Drum Sounds
