NO ENCORE

Ever thought about a song and said to yourself; "I wish they had put it in that film"?

If your answer is yes then you're in luck this week! Comedian, actor and writer Tony Cantwell has had that very thought, and he'd showing his workings on this week's pod as soundtracks some very familiar silver screen classics with the songs he reckons could have been perfect, and should have made the cut.

Halloween is dead. Disco, on the other hand? VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Sonic Architect Adam rarely needs an excuse to get his glitterball vibes on, and so he is here to deliver some shimmering samples to get down to.

Elsewhere, we've got gig reviews, contentious lists and convivial chatter to enjoy.

ACT ONE: An increasingly exhausted Dave reports back from two further trips to the 3Arena as The Strokes and KoRn separately came to town.

ACT TWO (27:30): Rolling Stone's Top 200 Rock Songs of the 21st Century so Far go under the microscope - well, some of them - as the boys ponder what rock music even is anymore, Sam Fender gets into the cash-grab John Lewis spirit, Justin Timberlake promises to finally tell all, and the Kid Rock / Eminem collaboration that nobody wanted boasts a sting in the tail.

ACT THREE (1:21:25): Top 5 Disco Samples.

Let's get scared.

Halloween is upon us - or just over if you prefer listening to this podcast after the weekend - and so it's time to get all seasonal with our Top 5 theme.

Ace film and TV critic Chris Wasser returns to NO ENCORE HQ with a musical accompaniment of horror's most successful scribe - Stephen King.

Chris' list takes in a range of the songs associated with the man's extensive body of work, from movies to TV shows to, but of course, the books themselves.

Elsewhere, Dave and Adam report back from a lively Bank Holiday Monday at Dublin's 3Arena and there's plenty of news to get through, also.

Speaking of scary cinematic engagements, do not miss the latest NO ENCORE Film Club as Dave and Andy sink their teeth into the Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt nocturnal epic Interview With the Vampire - sign up to the Patreon now for a mere fiver, you won't regret it!

ACT THREE (43:37): A lengthy Billy Corgan interview provokes numerous headlines, Donald Trump sizes up superfan Nicki Minaj, Charli XCX links up with Martin Scorsese, and what's the world like without headphones? It's the news.
