And the new Korn CD is amazing, by the way. Even better than Untouchables. I'm also glad to see them doing well for a change.

Well it's not fully 311's choice to not have a video, a lot of it has to do with their label, too. BUT...as sad as it is...311 videos are rarely ever played on TV anyways, and it'd just end up being a video for their hardcore fans to see online and whatnot. 311 is literally never played on MTV anymore, and I'm assuming very rarely played on Fuse/MTV2/VH1 if at all. In a lot of ways in general too, the music video just doesn't matter as much anymore for certain bands. Especially MTV-related...since everything is either pop, hip hop, or if it's rock it's almost always some sort of emo/indie/punk or typical Nickelback-esque ****. So really for 311, besides like first singles, I don't really see a huge reason for making a video. It's not gonna be seen.
I'm guessing their third single will be Frolic Room just cuz it screams single, and they play it a lot live (sooooo much better live than studio. The production on Frolic Room sucks ass on the cd). For a 4th single I'd hope for "It's Getting Okay Now" (seriously one of their best songs the past few albums). I think "Getting Through To Her" (powerful, beautiful song about a not so beautiful topic...child sexual abuse) or "Whiskey and Wine" would be good, too.
