This month on Before The ENCORE, Sonic Architect Adam is joined by Toby Hatchett of Hatchett Sound – a designer of bespoke soundsystems featured across the island of Ireland. For those of you unfamiliar, you have Toby to thank for the beautifully handcrafted hi-fi soundsystems in The Big Romance, Fidelity Bar & Studio, Connolly's of Leap, Lost Lane, Hang Dai and Allta to name a few.
Toby drops into Adam's studio on the way back to his West Cork workshop from Dublin to discuss his love for audio and creating that special experience for people, his ventures across venues to hi-fi "listening bars", to being tasked with designing an entire bar himself in his most recent output. If you're an audiophile or someone interested in one of the more abstract areas of the industry, this is the episode for you.
*If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*

Autumnal gloom has set in and the only way is down after Zara Hedderman's all-timer of a Top 5 on the previous episode, right?
WRONG! Despite the astounding heights of that aforementioned T5, we're keeping the energy supercharged with the returning Max Zanga, present in-studio as a representative of mysterious rising solo talent Filmore!, who definitely is a different person than Max, honest.
The new Filmore! EP is called Idle Death Gamble and it's really very good indeed, and so we talk about that and the overall project at large.
Elsewhere, we've got a truly nonsensical Top 5, and a grab-bag of news to get through...
And don't forget to hit up patreon.com/noencore, we've got a new Film Club episode dropping this Sunday, all about sweaty and problematic 1993 thriller Falling Down.
ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble.
ACT TWO: Filmore! in conversation. Kinda.
ACT THREE (31:54): News! Robert Smith bashes Oasis, Taylor Swiftonomics keeps on churning out the goods, Donald Trump reveals his megamix, Atomic Kitten are still a thing, and some words for the late, great Ka.
ACT FOUR (1:04:32): Top 5 Nonsense Songs.

Well it's (j)over. We paid cash money to witness JONKER 2: FOLIE A JONK on opening night and lived to tell the tale. And tell it, we shall.

Roll up, roll up, for one week only, it's NO JONKORE~!
In honour of the release of UNTITLED CLOWN FILM PART 2, we've slapped on the greasepaint and the big red noses and other assorted terrifying jester-themed accoutrements.
We've also invited the great Jenn Gannon back to the studio so that we can properly celebrate the life and times of one Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka... Lady Gaga.
Jenn has trained for this one for years without even realising it, given her committed fandom for all things Gaga. And so, she is on hand to deliver the definitive Top 5 for Little Monsters and unimpressed sceptics alike.
Meanwhile, there's a jam-packed news section and yet more gushing over Industry, because why not?
ACT ONE (11:30): Kris Kristofferson RIP, Oasis learn their lesson, a Last Dinner Party gig goes strangely awry, Chappell Roan takes a break, an unidentified man wastes money on a Taylor Swift guitar, Corey Taylor weighs in on the Dave Grohl debate, Coldplay renege on retirement plans, and Pitchfork get premature - it's the week in music news!
ACT TWO (51:57): Top 5 Lady Gaga

Your favourite music industry podcast returns after a month away from the boards, but we're back and better than ever!

And speaking of, as this podcast drops, this week is also Ireland Music Week; a three-day conference and showcase event that combines the best knowledge the music industry has to offer attendees, as well as a wealth of incredible live acts across a number of venues in Dublin City on from Oct 1 - Oct 4th 2024.

Rejoice! We're back in the studio!
And we're joined from way out west by the returning Daithí and the debuting Peter Kelly, with both men in town to talk year two of Ireland's most unique and exciting new music and arts festival - Common Threads.
The boys also take on a lively news section and list off their five go-to tracks that you simply must throw on when the party starts to fade and the dance floor begins to evacuate.
Bangers only, naturally.
ACT ONE: We discuss the return of Common Threads and what it’s all about with the two masterminds behind the new festival.
ACT TWO (22:20): Marvel prove Dave's point, Elton John endorses Fontaines, Liam Gallagher loses the plot, and Jonker 2 draws ever closer - it's the news.

Not like romantic dates, you understand. The ones on your calendar, that's what we mean.
And by 'we', we mean returning NO ENCORE original Colm O'Regan, who takes the co-host microphone up this week alongside Dave and Adam.
Before we get to this week's hijinks, a reminder that our Patreon is booming with bonus content right now:
Adam's latest Album Club is live and features a deep-dive into D'Angelo classic Voodoo, whilst Dave re-teams with Michael Pope for a brand new Film Club this Sunday, all about classic 1990 chiller Misery. Sign up at patreon.com/noencore for all extra audio.
As for this episode right here, it breaks down thusly:
ACT ONE (6:01): The week in music news takes in some feisty feud action in the world of rock as Jane's Addiction falls apart, Fontaines D.C. and Oasis throw some verbal broadsides at each other, and The Smiths do likewise. Meanwhile, Gene Simmons has his say, Mark Hoppus announces a new project, and music clashes with the beautiful game in doubly odd fashion.
ACT TWO (33:14): Top 5 Songs About Dates

Grab the overpriced popcorn and get ready to suffer through the songs and sounds you wish marketing departments and music supervisors would just leave well enough alone.
Dave and Adam are joined this week by Andy McCarroll, host of the excellent Extra Vision podcast and certified movie lover (and hater, should his vitriol prove valid), to navigate the creatively bankrupt world of lazy needle drops that are deployed way, way too often.
We've also got a packed news section that takes in everything from surprising infidelity to a highly divisive comeback.
Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
ACT ONE (6:05): Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris, Dave Grohl has a confession to make, Linkin Park unveil a new singer and weather a storm of controversy in the process, Kendrick Lamar gives Drake a reason to skip next year's Super Bowl, Fyre Festival 2 is GO, the Blur/Oasis feud reaches its natural end point, and Dave and Adam ponder a road trip - it's the news.

A national emergency (not really) provokes a bonus NO ENCORE (yes, really) as Dave Hanratty attempts to wrap his head around the great Oasis ticketing scandal of 2024.
What a difference a week and some last-minute dynamic pricing make, eh? Last Saturday has been and gone, and so too have the hopes and dreams of many crushed Britpop fans.
As for those who found their way to the top of a very long queue? Well, they either walked away in protest at a sudden colossal spike in ticket prices, or they're going to be budgeting hard for the next month to come.
Call it dynamic pricing, call it an 'in demand' ticket, call it the price of doing ruthless business, call it plain old greed - whatever the phrasing, Liam and Noel Gallagher find themselves counting an awful lot of cash as many disgruntled fans suffer the cost.
On this episode, Dave is joined by Jim Carroll, RTÉ Brainstorm editor and former (well, mostly) outspoken music journalist of renown, to examine the questionable mechanics of the Mancunian money machine.
