Let's get avant-garde and abstract - it's time to throw it back to 1970s downtown New York City for this week's Top 5 countdown. 

Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan know next-to-nothing about this genre, so thankfully they have Dublin-based roustabout Skinner on board to take them through it. 

The multi-instrumentalist is fresh off tour in support of his debut album New Wave Vaudeville, which gets the official NO ENCORE 'go listen to this right after the podcast' seal of approval. 

ACT ONE (6:47): Skinner talks New Wave Vaudeville and falls prey to some impromptu quickfire quizzing. 

ACT TWO (33:02): This week's news section takes in the Oscars, Drake and Travis Scott witnessing John Cena's shocking heel turn, FIFA going full Super Bowl, ultra-brief Choice Prize chat, questionable auction items, and Dave's Sonic Challenge. 

ACT THREE (1:10:36): Top 5 No Wave.
