Bring back "No Disco"

Ah memories. I was sad when Uaneen Fitzsimons died. I remember thinking how cool and interesting she seemed.

Yer man Leagues though. Wtf sort of name is Leagues?

His given name is Laurence.

To be honest I always found Dineen's delivery a bit flat... I would've preferred just the videos / music without all the links in between. Could've done it like the old Chart Show with a banner with some facts and figures relating to the video being played.

Anyway with YouTube and the way music is consumed now, there's virtually no need for a music video TV show. You can watch whatever music videos you want on YT, you don't have to wait to be shown something.

The only option would be a live performance TV show, but again that's been tried many times in many ways. Jools Holland seems to be the only one that's kept on going. And again, you can watch live performances on YouTube, from gigs often the same night as the gig.

Perhaps a new No Disco could become more of a magazine show - music news, interviews, some video and live content, and short, documentary style "articles".

However, the problem is that back then, No Disco catered for the "indie" crowd, playing that kind of music (a broad definition for sure). Nowadays, that doesn't really exist anymore. Besides the fact there aren't really any indie labels left, the modern millenial music listener doesn't care if the music they listen to is on a big or small label, or what category it falls under. Just look at Pitchfork - they feature any kind of music, from R&B to rock, metal, electronic, and jazz - so what kind of music would No Disco feature? Get that balance right and they've got themselves a worthy show.

More of a beatbox fan myself
