NO ENCORE

Deftones hit Dublin this coming Monday and Dave is hyped hyped hyped.

No better time to welcome freelance music journalist Danny Kilmartin to the studio with a Chino Moreno-fronted career-spanning Top 5 of his choosing.

Elsewhere, it's another stacked news section - the rain ain't stopping and nor are the events, dear boy.

Do hit up our similarly bursting-at-the-seams NO ENCORE Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/noencore - for weekly bonus episodes - up next, a 'Dave vs Andy' special as the Film Club takes on Darren Aronofsky's exceptionally divisive mother!

ACT ONE: Dave and Adam did karaoke. They think it went swimmingly.

ACT TWO (12:20): Bad Bunny x Super Bowl fallout including an on-the-whistle from-the-stadium report from Irish Independent NFL obsessive Shane Brennan, Kid Rock's attempts to save face, Boyzlife hit up the press circuit, Jonny Greenwood issues a demand to Melania Trump, Mark Ruffalo comes to Billie Eilish's aid, Chappell Roan calls for a revolution, and the latest high-profile use of AI music pisses us off yet again - it's the news.

ACT THREE (1:16:23): Top 5 Deftones!

From Tokyo to London to New York and even back home here in Dublin, hi-fi bars are redefining the bar scene across the world — blending high-end sound systems, curated vinyl and a variety of drinks options into one immersive experience.

In a world where background music has become background noise, a particular kind of bar is asking patrons to start listening by putting music at the forefront of their business, as well as integrating the nightlife culture we know and love.

In this special episode of NO ENCORE, Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan explores how these spaces emerged, why they resonate now, and what they reveal about our changing relationship with sound with some of the most in-the-know guests on-offer.

Guests:
Dave Parle (Booker @ Hidden Agenda and owner @ The Big Romance and Fidelity Bar & Studio)
Emmy Shigeta (DJ, resident @ Fidelity Bar)
Toby Hatchett (Sound system designer @ The Big Romance, Hang Dai, Connolly's of Leap, Fidelity Bar & Studio)
Chris Maestro (Owner @ BierWax, Brooklyn, New York City)
Daithí Ó Drónaí (former co-host @ NO ENCORE and hi-fi bar enthusuast)

We're back! It's been two long months and boy are we glad to see you, listener.

Even more glad we are to be in the company of Indo Sport series producer Ronan Mullen for his debut NO ENCORE appearance, and in a beautiful collision of worlds, he's consulted his playbook and we're going to re-run some of the most superb Super Bowl Halftime performances to ever grace our eyes and ears. We are in Super Bowl week, after all – and you can be sure we didn't impose on ourselves the same twelve-minute time limit for this podcast!

As well as that we have much to catch up on, including on January's Patreon offerings including Dave and Andy's Film Club Awards 2025, part 1 of our Q&A episode, as well as Album Club and Film Club's regular offerings; sign up here if you are yet to – annual memberships come with a 10% discount!

Let's get into it...

ACT ONE: We have much to catch up on from taking the month off, so we do exactly that.

ACT TWO (15:33): Grammys discussions including the many facets of the ICE discourse from Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Jelly Roll and Jack Antonoff, photos emerge from the forthcoming Beatles biopics, Timothée Chalamet puts his money where his mouth is, Red Hot Chilli Peppers documentary is not a Red Hot Chilli Peppers documentary, apparently, and Kid Rock heads up the alternative Super Bowl half time programming – it's the news.

ACT THREE (1:04:34): Top 5 Super Bowl Halftime Shows
