Is it future? Or is it past? 

One thing's for sure - it's a brand new season of NO ENCORE~!

And it wouldn't be The Return of this particular podcast without leaning into some truly tragic news in the form of the passing of visionary filmmaker David Lynch, who shuffled off this mortal coil in mid-January. 

As such, we're marking the first episode back with a tribute to a man who inspired as much creativity as he did nightmares during his time on this earth. A true original, Lynch cast a genuinely mesmerising spell in his work via a uniquely potent mix of imagination, surrealism, horror, and deep empathy. He deserves to be celebrated, and so we will do just that. 

Leading the charge is returning guest co-host David A. Tapley; mastermind of Tandem Felix and a damn fine Gordon Cole impersonator - seriously, he went as him for a Twin Peaks-themed night once and it looked and sounded terrific. 

ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. 

ACT TWO (9:05): Plenty of news to dissect from weeks gone by, including Nine Inch Nails' very welcome impending visit to Dublin, Grimes saying Grimes things, the jaw-dropping Emilia Perez controversy, popular music artists of the time turning to cinematic endeavours. Ringo Starr's red-hot confession, Kendrick's dominance at the Grammy Awards (and Drake's further public humiliation), Gracie Abrams stans finding new ways to cause problems, the Boyzone documentary, and Billy Corgan stepping onto our turf. 

ACT THREE (1:09:06): Top 5 David Lynch Music
