Third single off 9???

Do you think there will be a third single off 9???

For a while I thought he was gonna release Dogs, like he did in the Netherlands... I think it would be a great summer single!!!

What do you all think?

I agree with you, but we haven't heard anything about singles in quite a while. Hmmm....

nah, don't think Dogs will come out everywhere else...at this stage I'd say we've had all the singles off 9

any idea why Dogs was Holland only?

I'd rather Coconut Skins... but who knows. They'd have a couple of weeks to make a video now if they were so inclined... but are they bothered?

Are we?

Personally, I couldn't care less about a third single. Just because I don't really see the point in it. Okay, maybe we'd get another b-side, but other than that...

I don't know why it was only in Holland. But this was an opportunity to release the recordings of the showcase (as you'll probably know).
They could make a mix of the showcases he did.

If it's up to me, Coconut Skins. An other sort song, a little more uptempo.
Accidental Babies is also okay.
Or a whole new idea of a release, no single of his latest album, but something else. You never know, it's Damien.

The always reliable Wikipedia says it will be Elephant then the Animals Were Gone...

IMO, they never 'milk' the singles that much... I really wish for a 3rd single with lots of new b-sides!!!!!!!!

You're talking about a band that put three songs from their first album through twenty-four separate single releases and pressings over a four year period. After those there was Woman Like A Man, Lonely Soldier, Unplayed Piano, Live At Union Chapel, The B-Sides Ep and the Lonelily single.

Not that there's anything wrong with all that stuff being released on the back of one very non-commercial album. It's just that I don't know if I'd agree that they "never" milk singles.

I didn't explain myself very well. What I meant is exactly what you're saying... that if you're gonna release and re-release a lot of songs from O, at least don't put the same 3-bsides again and again.

Some artists give fans 4-5 new tracks with every single release, across all formats (many now are releasing 2 diff 7" and 2 diff CD singles). That's what I was meaning by 'not milking the singles' in Damien's case. For instance, they released 9 Crimes with 1 b-side, which was the same in the 7" and the CD single. Potentially we could have had 4-5 newies there, same with Rootless tree.

Ah good, thought you were going a bit mental there. This typing/sarcasm problem has come up before. Maybe we need a Chandler Bing smiley.
