Is it true he's from such a poor background that when the debs was over and the lights came on he was caught with a shitload of cocktail sausages shoved down the front of his cummerbund?

Paddy Casey looks like a fuck.

You're just saying that 'cos Paddy wouldn't go to your debs.

I went to his debs dressed as Peepee. The thick plottens as they say.

But he does look like he eats lots of Mars bars.

Yeah. You're just in time to start dying your hair black and losing about 8 inches off the top of your head.

You know what they say:

"A Mars a day/ Helps you sing-er-song-write."

well shut me up.

 

[Anne OMalley]

You must be joking. When I was doing me Inter, Brendan Boyer was still on the end of his mammy's mammaries, whistling Dixie and playing a 3-inch guitar.

C'mon Hec... there's liberals here. We should be PC.

What you should say is:

wimmin AND men love paddy, for some reason. but no woman OR man of morals (that would be a moral code in which they are happy with and doesn't endanger other people) would settle down with a freako-short-assed-umpalumpa-dwarf-boy.

yeah, but sex and the city isn't claiming to be a representation of new and innovative irish music, now is it?

Funnily enough Capratone are going to be on Sex And The City in the coming weeks. In an upcoming episode Carries goes to some fabbo party to met meet Samantha, but anyway it turns out that the guy with the girlfriend is there, and of course she's shagged him, so its all very embaressing, and she decides to write her column about the way it always seems.... uh anyway when she walks in Capratone are playing, you can just see us in the top left corner and can hear us in the background.

Also later on in it, she others a Cosmo from the bar, and you can see the back of my head at the otherside of the bar and a glimpse of Snakybus who I'm talking too.

The question is, (i) should RTE simply follow trends established elsewhere and pander to media/market forces, or (ii) should RTE programming obey the Reithian injunction to "educate, inform and entertain" - in that order.

Yeah, they be more like the BBC and do something like their new band showcase. Top Of The Pops, I think it's called.

The one thing worth remembering about public service broadcasting is that it's always essentially financially fucked (RTE being an extreme example). If some ginger twat goes to his mate in Programming and offers him a good half-season show for essentially nothing, that satisfies the whole cultural mandate and isn't going to offend grannies, do you think he's going to turn him down?

Viewership of this series or of one covering actual new Irish bands would probably be about the same (people stuck in 2-channel-land with no Playstation), but this one is essentially risk-free, in terms of content and in terms of the performers being, for the most part, known and dependable.

aren't ye that already?

 

[MDR]

Actually, I don't reckon RTE have a view on what constitutes the happening end of the music scene. They've probably heard of the Frames and a couple of the other acts and reckoned it sounded about right. I wouldn't reckon that RTE's advertising strategy is so scientific that they could tell you how many more cans of Tizer Paddy Casey would sell than, say, The Redneck Manifesto.

I just wanna state the obvious: this programmes purports to give us a peak beneath the surface of the music scene at some of the quality therein, but in fact it features well established artists who already have a significant following.

Nothing wrong with it other than that it don't do what it says on the tin.

 

[Anne OMalley]

If they're financially fucked, it's mainly because they make the mistake of competing with "entertainment" channels like Sky One and so end up spending donkeyloads of their budgets importing American muck. In other words, they're fucked because they're not actually providing a public service - something that need not be very expensive anyway.

There's plenty of other stuff they could be showing us that costs less than "Friends" and is far more interesting than the film of puke that currently coats our screens.
