The Big Mates discuss introductions, bullies, beef, and Live at the Olympia, a live album by R.E.M.Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career and discography of R.E.M. by deviating from the timeline and exploring the document of the band's "public rehearsals" in Dublin in 2007. They talk about what R.E.M. did after Around the Sun, the time they spent apart, and how they went about preparing for their next recording sessions. They look at the 2006 Best Of Compilation And I Feel Fine..., the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the band's one-off recording session with Bill Berry, and their plan to rehearse in front of a live audience.  They explore that rehearsal process, talk about the songs they play and what they have in common, and then run through the tracklist of the Live at the Olympia album, stopping to give first impressions on the new material, and reminisce about the old material.  What do we think of the new songs?

We'll go into each album, explore its context, and go track-by-track in a classic WIM deep-dive. We'll also include thoughts and discussion from our Patreon subscribers...We're very excited to get this new show going, and we hope you're excited to join us! The first album we'll be covering is Grace by Jeff Buckley. So once you've listened to the introduction and subscribed, get listening to that album!We hope to see you all over at patreon.com/whatismusicpod!Support the show

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 Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample. Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film. Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it's a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy. And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once? Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day. The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show. And remember; HACK THE PLANET~!-Follow Dave and Michael on Letterboxd Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Due to some illness this week, Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam bring to you an episode of the Patreon-exclusive Album Club series, a fortnightly album digest where we speak about albums we love, from our collection or otherwise, or albums voted for by Patrons. If you'd like to get all available episodes of Album Club in-full, more bonus episodes in the form of our past series NO AUX CORD and some Q&A episodes, early and ad-free access to all main feed episodes as well as weekly show previews, please consider supporting the show and joining us over at Patreon.com/NOENCORE.Regular programming resumes next week! -Welcome, welcome, to the second instalment of our Patreon-exclusive Album Club series, in which we pick an album we love - or have strong feelings about in one way or another - and attempt to express our relationship with it, and the act in question. Dave takes the reins this time around and the subject is a short-lived trio by the name of Reuben and their third - and final - album, In Nothing We Trust.So, cast your mind back to 2007 and whatever terrible fashion choices you made then, and allow Dave to recall his brief love affair with a band that proved to be perhaps a bit too shouty and clever-clever for a proper mainstream jaunt.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
