THE RETURN

YouTube have sorted it. The return of Total Video Views! And we are creeping ever closer to that 3 Million Video View mark!

TOTAL VIDEO VIEWS GONE!

The feature on YouTube that allows you to view Total Video Views has disappeared in the last few days. This is more than a bit worrying. It was our best way of working out our stats. We were very close to hitting the 3 Million Video Views mark, but now we have no idea. Alas I can´t figure out whats going on from anyone online, so I hope its just a glitch and the counter will come back soon.
A big, hmmmmmmmmm...

THE DARK NIGHT

I've seen it, so I thought I'd give you a review after all the hype.

I thought The Dark Night was enjoyable popcorn flick, but unfortunately heavily flawed. What goes for the film is its style and casting. What goes against is that the film is let down by an incoherent plot of garbildigook. There are too many characters and the film runs about 20 minutes too long after about 4 different endings. I couldn't make sense of it, and was quite stressed out come the end of it.
Mixed feelings I have. But still worth seeing. I'd give it four stars.

LOU REED IS FLAWED

I was having a coffee yesterday morning with Tom, when Lou Reed suddenly came in at sat close by.
Our ambitions got the better of us, and we decided to try make contact on behalf of BalconyTV industries. Just imagine, Lou Reed on BalconyTV!!! That would be a coo.
So I scribbled a letter inviting Lou to pop across to the Balcony to play a tune. With that I asked Tom to bring it over to Lou. He was too shy though, so it was up to me.
My idea was to just go up and just leave the letter on his table. But as I got closer I began to panic. What was I doing! Was I out of my mind! Lou looked at me with eye that said loudly 'Don't come fucking near me'. I went on regardless. I put the letter down infront of him, and said very awkwardly
'Eh, I just want to leave this with you. Thats all. I'm off now. Bye now'.
It was very Father Dougal McGuire.
Suffice to say Lou hasn't called yet.

A couple of bits and bobs online about BalconyTV at the moment. Natalie over at Paddy Wacked Radio has some bits and bobs over here.

And the new Solo-Magazine.Com - a magazine for Irelands smartest singles - features the BalconyTV Music Video Awards here.

And I mentioned before how brilliant the Flaws outro for RTEs coverage of Euro 2008 was. Well here it is now for you to enjoy:
