You gotta keep 'em separated. Or, in this case, bonded for life.

NO ENCORE is back for another week and the boys Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick have a lot to chew on despite sensationally not attending Irish music's biggest night. 

The RTÉ Choice Music Prize is still on the agenda, though. As is lots of other news and yet another Top 5 that throws at least one half of the team into existential disarray. And what is NO ENCORE if not existential dread persevering? 

If you adore what we bring you every week and would like to support this particular independent venture, you can do so at https://www.patreon.com/noencore – new episode of NO AUX CORD coming soon. Promise. 

ACT ONE: A preamble in which we ramble. More respect for Nine Inch Nails, please!

ACT TWO (10:18): Choice Prize last-minute predictions and post-announcement reaction featuring our roving Sonic Architect, Russia get booted from the Eurovision, the Madonna film sounds like hard work, the Rolling Stones film that never was, Dave Grohl says Dave Grohl things, and Snoop Dogg runs away with his imagination – it's a busy week in music news.

ACT THREE (52:37): Top 5 Musical Offspring – Dave on Best, Craig on Worst. What could possibly go wrong?
