Wax on, wax off.

It's been a weekend of broken windows, packed houses, good friends, jammed parties with faux fireplaces, awkward beginnings, explosive shows, lights, darkness, almost snow, ice, reckless mistakes, rad bands, good movies, eclipses, and so many good conversations.  (Note: I'm still working on my sign-language alphabet... almost there).  I love seeing you guys more than I realize at home when we're hiding away doing our thing.

And, as another completely irrelevant aside, Daniel Day-Lewis is so well-spoken.  Such a good actor.

Straight to the point.  Which song off the new album is the single?  The concept of the "single" is a strange one these days especially with radio so out of the new music loop.  We practically started by putting out singles and championing them.  Then, came our over-stuffed album in a complete reversal.  For Warped Tour, we made the Hintron CD, picking some of the most requested songs off of the long "When It Gets Dark Enough..."  What's crazy, is that more CDs have been sold under the banner of the short single-filled album than the long 15-song one.  It's a crazy mixed up world, haha.

Any way you cut it, you can't deny that some songs are just more fun to play or to hear at a show.  I feel it everytime you sing along and I know there's something special that connects us together, words, music, voices, the sounds, you, us, the moment.  The single.  It's a fun notion to have one song, just one, that pulls you in to hear the rest of them.  Every song we work on we treat as it's own gem, so it's impossible for us to lean a certain way.  We think you'll have strong feelings about which is the one people should hear first.

The new album is up on PUREVOLUME right now.  Their site is brand new and it's a total glitch at the moment that the whole CD is still up there.  Go listen and comment us which song is the single, the best one, the one ppl should hear first.  Any of the six songs are game including the two that were up first, "Remember" and "Tell Me How".

The song you pick will be the one we give away as a free download.  

A million thank you's to everyone that made the MD shows special this week (both sold out)... same with NYC, that was so rad.  And, to Rachel of Columbia University and Apathy Eulogy (congrats!) for hosting us at their show.

We would like to invite you to pick up the new CD for only $5 right now at the ONLINE STORE

I can't stop listening to 'The Menagerie.' While I nag you guys to play 'Things We Do In The Dark' I think that 'The Menagerie' is more single material.

I really think this is a great way to keep in touch with your fans :]
all of your songs are amazing, but I honestly think that I could hear Running Scared playing on the radio.

i really really really love things we do in the dark but i don't think it's upbeat enough to be a single. so the menegerie should be your single! <3

You guys all the song are veryy awesome and to just pick one! dude thats hard hahaha I can't just pick one. But I was thinking about it thats way I haven't comment, and I think I found one to pick. but 1st off I must say I do agree with everyone on there picks, like I see that there the ppl who pick "Things We Do In the Dark" which I love BTW it's a lovely love song <3 I'm always singing it even if the cd is not on. "The Menagerie" is a cool song I love the guitar sounds great, this has to be the song that get's play over and over and I love to dance to it :) "Tell Me How You Really Feel" - ever since that song come out I loved it and still do it's just great same thing with "Remember" I LOVE it, I have my own little storys to both of the songs that plays in my head when I hear them. "Running Scared" wow when I got the cd and I listen to that song, I felt like this song fit's in my life , right now cos I'm sometimes feel like that. it's good and it help's me get by. ALL your music is Amazing Thankn you for writing such AMAZING MUSIC. now to tell you the one I pick ............... "Across the Desert" :) yes yes yes! it's my favorite, the lyrics stay in my head and I just say them over and over and I get my friends to sing along to it too :]

say, this is a really long comment LOL sorry.
Later Boy's

Zach [I AM THE HINT]

 
its an interesting thing, thinking about which song should be the single...i think that in most cases the strongest song should be the single and to me that is Things We Do In The Dark or Running Scared...although the Menagerie is VERY full of energy and when i think about a single, i think of a song that i can easily see the video and for this i can easily see the video for it. so my vote(in an unprecedented move..) goes to THE MENAGERIE!

The Menagerie or Running Scared. I'd pick The Menagerie though. It rocks.


PS- Dont open with The Menagerie anymore. Thats a really hard song to mix...

hey loves. i'ma vote for the menagerie or tell me how. tell me how is catchy as hell, and menagerie just rocks my face. period. things we do in the dark is good, but it's not what i think of when i think of an accurate representative of your sound as a whole.

<3 for you all!

The Menagerie is one of my current favorites. But I think you should release Things We Do In the Dark according to Geoff and Jeff. Their version makes my life more special. And then make a music video for it. :-D
