TOP 5 2000s HIP-HOP ALBUMS ft. Flynn Johnson

Dave and Adam convene for a later-than-usual recording in the company of the great, returning Caoi De Barra as she gears up for her December tour - tickets here, by the way.  Caoi talks about the different paths her career has taken her in the last couple of years, the tremendous supergroup she's managed to put together for the tour, and a great deal more in between before we get to her creatively cinematic Top 5.  Speaking of cinematic, don't miss the NO ENCORE Film Club via our Patreon - Dave and Andy chatting all things Constantine is the latest offering there, while Adam's Album Club returns this week with a divisive offering from Everything Everything.  As for this week's NO ENCORE prime...  ACT ONE: Caoi De Barra in conversation.  ACT TWO (39:29): This week's news section takes in Robbie Williams' boy-band smackdown, the Letterboxd-themed patronisation of Charli XCX, the grim lounge lizard return of Kevin Spacey, the deserved consequences of being a danger to celebrities, and Adam's latest rant on AI.  ACT THREE (1:20:29): Caoi's Top 5 TV Pilot Personal Soundtrack.  - Follow Caoi on Instagram Hosted on Acast.

It's the Dave & Adam Express this week as your two favourite NO ENCORE boys dispense with the 'guest co-host' bit as they explore one of Adam's favourite subjects - the devastating global financial collapse of the late 2000s~!  Yes, the world went to hell but we still had tunes, damn it.  And so this week's Top 5 finally pays off an oft-glimpsed topic that brings Dave out of retirement with a substantial list of his own as the boys duel it out.  Don't miss our related playlists below!  Oh, and definitely do not miss out on our beautiful NO ENCORE pins!

As we leaf through another fresh chapter on the NO ENCORE podcast, Dave and Adam are joined by best-selling author and dear friend of the podcast Carl Kinsella to bookmark his favourite page-turner-themed tracks. Carl's debut book At Least It Looks Good From Space is available now right here and you can get it at all good bookstores nationwide – it comes highly-recommended from the NO ENCORE HQ. Elsewhere, over on our Patreon you can listen to Adam's documentary-style episode on the hi-fi listening bar, its culture and history, and the related hopes and expectations in the industry among proprietors, DJs and enthusiasts alike. Also, we have a forthcoming Film Club where Dave and Andy McCarroll return to discuss dystopian revolutionary thriller V For Vendetta, which gets a thorough and occasionally emotional examination. That arrives this Monday. You can sign up here for bonus content to beat the band! But for now, back to this week's matters at-hand: ACT ONE: Dave is feeling his age after a couple of raucous gigs. Carl, meanwhile, sheds light on his best-selling book.  ACT TWO (39:19): Luigi Mangione updates his penitentiary playlist, the four forthcoming Beatles movies lock in the 'long-suffering wife' roles, Matty Healy pulls a 1975 disappearance act, Arcade Fire announce a split, Drake continues to refuse to take the L in his Universal Music Group lawsuit, and gig behaviour continues to get stranger– it's the news.
