NO ENCORE #059 | Monkey Business
With neither a Dave nor an ENCORE in sight, Colm O’Regan and Craig Fitzpatrick put the music world to rights for another week. Will they go ape for the new Gorillaz album?

ACT ONE: Bahamas bananas, the Pitt-list, and a puntastic Bieber menu are among the news stories of the week.
