next single?

[juanpe]

if i had to choose for my preference, it's obvious (I've already said that in many posts): "We're so heavy" because it is the best song in the album for me...

 

But i liked the description Dan made of "Buffalo seven": Buffalo Seven: there is where my money is at... Easy to sing along to, nice beat, its got good lyrics...

 

I think that would be a very good single/video

[AnythingYouWant]

Yeah, I'd say Buffalo Seven, We're So Heavy, or Little Terror, in that order. I would have said Put Out Your Lights, but it's a bit too short. If it had another verse, a different one, it would work.

"We're So Heavy" would make a great single, actually, pretty much every song would. WSH would make the best video, outside of "Poor Man's Gray."

[Dan #1]

Give me ideas on what the videos might be like for the most popular songs so far!

 

Buffalo Seven:

 

We're So heavy:

 

Little Terror:

 

Poor Man's Grey:

 

Other song idea for Video:

 

What would they do in the footage, etc?

[juanpe]

buff... very difficult, man!!! ;)

 

for some reason I imagine "we're so heavy" video with lots of images from nature, like forests, sea images...contrasted with war images and strong/sad images...

 

dont ask me why, dont' know, but i imagine the video that way...

I think either Buffalo Seven or North American For Life, preferably North Am. for Life. Although Buffalo Seven was the song that caught me on the first listen... Hmm if we could go back a couple of albums however, I would choose "Jenni's Song" from BM.

Putting Hopeless on a country radio station would be really good, I believe Matt calls it country-alt. I like the song. ;)

[Dan #1]

What would you call Empty Road... would that be country-alt too?

I think its great he tried that out.

North American for life is probably a hard single because of the swearing, that is a dramatic pull back.

[Hyphnip]

I still want him to release Avalanche and While We Were Hunting Rabbits, I haven't even started with WLR&RR.

[mg_forlife]

They can <bleep> out some of the swearing or change some words around in North American For Life, if someone can manage to do that and keep it good. ? I think it's a good one for now, it fits with the current atmosphere I guess, with Michael Moore's flick and how all of these truths are surfacing about false intelligence etc. around the invasion of Iraq. I think it's a good one, but Buffalo Seven would be good as well.

[juanpe]

yes, probably going along with M.Moore's flick... i dont know if Matt would do that though

[Dan #1]

I want to see more of Matt's music get used in Movies and stuff.

[Hyphnip]

That'd be nice

[juanpe]

yeah, that would be really nice... be watching a movie and listening to Matt as part of the soundtrack ;)

[mg_forlife]

Me too danimal about the soundtracks! Avalanche has some great songs for movies. When I heard Double Life I thought I heard it in a movie or a movie trailer before but I never found out if I really did. If you look inside the Avalanche cover, it says that one of the songs was used in a movie called "Jimmy Grimble" something, a soccer movie. I never heard of that movie before that though. Matt should definitely try to get involved with more movies.

[Crusader]

Actually tracks from Avalanche, mainly weapon, have appeared in several TV shows. I think it was on Smallville and queer eye for the straight guy?

[juanpe]

i know that at least weapon appeared in Smallville, i dont know about the other show

[no yu begin wher i end]

I remember hearing 'Weapon' on Alias, and 'Hello Time Bomb' I think was on Men With Brooms.

 

As to the next single, I heard 'Empty Road' on the radio the other day, on 91.3 the zone in Victoria.

[Crusader]

Empty Road is our next single?

[no yu begin wher i end]

I'm not 100% sure. It was on their 'Modern Rock Inbox' thing where they play a few new songs every day.

I think fell in love with a bad idea would be a really good next single and has good video potential but my bets are on empty road.
