Dave and Adam are Young at heart this week as a legendary - and notoriously prickly - troubadour gets the spotlight thrust upon him. 

Admittedly, neither of your regular microphone fiends are experts on the man born Neil Percival Young, so thankfully they have A. Smyth on hand in the co-host chair, a few weeks ahead of his excellent new album Hello Goliath. 

That record is up for discussion, alongside a grab-bag of news items, and some thoughtful head-scratching on the runaway success of lore-infused alt-rock sensations Sleep Token. 

Over on the NO ENCORE Patreon, there's a spirited, additional audio-heavy breakdown of 1995 twistathon The Usual Suspects on a brand new Film Club, while Adam has a fresh Album Club imminent in the days to come - hit up patreon.com/noencore to sign up now! 

As for this episode...

ACT ONE: A. Smyth talks Hello Goliath, sonic irritations, personal inspirations, and more. 

ACT TWO (38:03): Josh Freese packs his Foo Fighters drum-bags, Donald Trump takes aim at two of his favourite pop culture targets, Lorde makes a strange admission, and what the hell is this Sleep Token phenomenon all about? It's the news. 

ACT THREE (1:12:21): Top 5 Neil Young.
