So, we have some good news and then we have to beg for some mercy.
First, the good news:
According to reports from trusted South American friends, the video for Corny is on MTV Latin America Centro (Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Dominican Republic, Peru, Venezuela) and Sur (Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay). And according to unnoficial chit-chat, it will soon be shown on MTV Mexico. So hoorah!
The cherry on top is that we also found out we got into VH1, so double hoorah!!!
This is seriously a huge step for us and makes us immensely happy.
Now, for the whining: The Plugin needs your help! It's time to get needy and ask for the participation of our 1,000+ Facebook friends (another reason for which we already celebrated), along with some annonimous friends that might be seeing this on the website or the blog. Without making a huge deal out of it, here goes: please, help us get into Los Diez Más Pedidos, MTV Latin America's daily top 10 (we don't need to get number 1 or anything, we'll be more than happy to even be on the show) and to get more traffic on the VH1 website, which I imagine would lead to more airplay on the network itself. It's not about a lust for fame or wanting to be any sort of celebrity, none of that, we really really mean it; it just makes our job so much easier, it makes it more likely for us to play gigs in more places and for more people to get to know all this stuff we make with so much love and dedicate 100% of our time to. And well, I admit it, to see ourselves on MTV or VH1 would probably give us a pleasant tingling feeling in our tummies, and we still haven't had the pleasure, at least not in real time.
Instructions:
A. VOTING FOR 'CORNY' ON LOS DIEZ MÁS PEDIDOS DE MTV (it takes about 34 seconds, and we'll be eternally grateful if you do it):
1. Click on the image below:
2. Under where it says "ESTA SEMANA" there is a drop-down list with videos by famous and successful artists. Do not waste your time by dropping-it-down, we are - needless to say - not on that list...
3. Under that list of winners, there are four blank spaces to fill out. These are the ones.
Where it says "OTRO TEMA" ("another song"), write: The Plugin - Corny.
Fill out the other three with your info ("Nombre" is name, "Apellido" is last name, and I don't think you need help translating "E-mail").
4. Press the pink button that says "VOTAR" ("vote"). You're set!
5. You can do these simple steps daily, and this will greatly increase our chances. So please, pretty please, do!
B. HELPING US ON VH1:
0. The thing will ask you to register, so this might take longer, even though there is a registry form in English. We will not begrudge you if you leave this part for some other time (especially if you did the MTV thing for us!).
1. Click on the image below:
2. If you haven't seen the video, do so! It's true that it looks better on YouTube or Vimeo, but this is the VH1 website, HOW COOL IS THAT?
3. Click on the little green thumbs-up thingy where it says "¿TE GUSTÓ?" ("did you like it?"). Because you did like it, right? RIGHT? This is where the man will ask you to register. It's still free and quick and they won't spam the hell out of you. Just sayin'.
4. Now, if you feel just great today, you can add a little comment below the video. You know, to further cheer us up and all.
Tah-dah! A few minutes of your time, which we know you could be dedicating to more constructive things, so we are infinitely grateful. And you get full bragging rights if this partly leads us to any sort of stardom. You earned them.
Hugs!
