Alas, let's celebrate! ACT ONE: The preamble, in which we reflect on the milestone of 500 and hear from some callers you might recognise. ACT TWO (28:23): An obligatory World Cup-music crossover update, the latest on Madonna's scrapped biopic, Metallica encounter Swiftie rage and a pair of counterfeit wristbands, James Blake hits out yet again at a broken music industry and Halsey V Fantano – it's a stacked news section, baby.

Dave returns to the microphone as Julie and Matt from HAVVK hit the studio in honour of their new album Time Will Kill. Much to discuss this week, so let's not stand on ceremony...  ACT ONE: The preamble in which Dave invents a new segment.  ACT TWO (7:15): Talking all things Time Will Kill - it's great, so check it out post-haste. ACT THREE (34:57): SPORTSDAVE leads the charge as World Cup chat kicks off the news section which also features Phoebe Bridgers starting a class war, Hank Azaria moaning about Taylor Swift, a pretty flimsy Rod Stewart excuse, and Bob Dylan on the pros and cons of being an octogenarian.  ACT FOUR (1:08:22): Top 5 Good Time Songs. Get tickets to see HAVVK and Cable Boy in Dublin / Galway Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Unfortunately our faithful host Dave Hanratty is unwell this week so Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan flys the plane solo for his first jaunt on the podcast-proper alone, but luckily he's joined by his close musical collaborator, soul artist Melina Malone to guide him. As well as her counsel, Melina will be providing a key to open the door for us to the neo soul genre, it's characteristics, its heavy-hitters and some of her favourite selections for her Top 5. As always, the fun never stops on the NO ENCORE Patreon – Dave and Andy's recent Film Club adventures saw Andy snared in a web of exasperation as they discussed Trap, which is available now, and next week Adam will be taking a look at another Danish band for his upcoming Album Club as he examines Spleen United's Neanderthal all the way back from the turn of the financial crisis. As little as €5 per month gets you full bonus and ad-free access and there's a sweet 10% discount if you sign up for an annual membership. We roll on! ACT ONE: The preamble, in which Adam attempts desperately to do a good job in Dave's absence. ACT TWO (15:34): Trevor Dietz RIP, Primavera's Thursday washout, more Ozzy avatar chat, Russian Angine de Poitrine impostors spotted, Duffy's triumphant and imminent return to the stage, Daft Punk definitely not reuniting and Prince's famous and mysterious vault is finally being cracked open – it's the news. ACT THREE (49:19): Top 5 Neo Soul. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
