They already did, remember? Uaneen Fitzsimons and her breathless interviews with the stereophonics and other such underground bands who need all the exposure they can get. Perhaps if Leagues had given dream catchers to all the people he interviewed, No Disco would still be on our screens each and every Wednesday.

 

[Knacker]

If only Leagues looked liked Uaneen.... actually... it would be nicer if he looked like Carmen Elektra. Although the prospect of watching pasty-faced Irish indie kids dancing around a swimming pool in Mosney to Decal doesn't really appeal.
Okay, what I'm saying is wouldn't it be great if that Meet a Star programme focused primarily on the Irish indie scene and you could meet a member of your new favourite band.
No...what I'm saying that I don't look like Colin Murray of RTE Sports News fame, and do have a passing resemblance to Donal Dineen - apparently. And Allen of the HGF and Uncleano-demeanouro fame really really looks like Lou Barlow.

Oh... I'm Lucky.

No Disco should be reborn again with Caroline from the fame game except it would be called Disco.

The one thing i never got about no disco is the format. It has pretty much never changed since dineen hosted it. Cut to video--> cut to leagues in a dingy but hip set in a wooden stance --> cut to video again -->repeat again x2 --> cut to interview.

surely if these people had taken a DV camera with them and basically filmed it around town or whatever it would have been so much more interesting. but then again, it's all about the music.

Nah, that was one of the great things about it. There were no gimics, no frills. The music was given the leading role. There was something familiar and comforting about the consistency of the presentation.

The presentation worked back in the Donal days when everything was so new but, like with Doctor Who, subsequent incarnations just didn't hit the spot.

The pitch: Fly leagues + a cameraman to New York & present the show from the streets. Call it No MT Disco USA.

sometimes I think we're all figments of Petes imagination

different aspects of his personality manifesting themselves as members of his psyche's message board

if you think about it long enough, its not as mad as if first sounds...

Leagues should be made wear loud, pastel-coloured sports jackets and casual beige chinos. The programme should be more slap-stick. And when he's introducing a new video, he should rub his hands together and slightly shake his hips while staring intently into the camera.
And he should call the videos "joints" or "fillets". The word "pastiche" should be used more effectively. And he should refer to Estel and the Chalets as his "honies". And every episode (don't call them shows no more), should start with him speeding up to the camera in a red Mazda sports car.

This line must be used:
"And here's another dripping fillet cooked up by my honies..... SHA-ZAM!!"

fly with ryanair would probably= 15euros each,
2 people for the trip = 30 euro
30 euro = way too expensive for RTé

 

[Bohemoth]

NY would be good but it's been done so many times. Helsinki or Istanbul would be more interesting.

 

[Gancom]

In light of the Iraq situation, it's difficult to recommend anywhere beyond the Far East. Avoiding Japan, where low interest-rates and a weak yen show that they have played their last card - indeed, another straw will break the Japanese camel. With the emergence of China, it would be advisable to look at cities such as Shanghai which seems to be more inviting to western influence.
Recommending Macao here, where investment could be very low and yield could be high in a post-war situation.
