Terry thinks Belle and Sebastian are writing songs for him. They are, Terry.. Three. A steady trickle of information about the new Belle and Sebastian album has been coming through the holes in the Banchory beachball in recent weeks. Several more diary entries (Stuart, thanks for these - they brighten up my mornings:)), an interview by a certain girl and some whispers from people who know people have led me to put together this little list of What We Know. I'd like to pretend it's a scoop, but to be honest anyone could have done the same if they just left the washing up for a night and rode on the infobahn for a while. It's not as soft on the fingers, but a lot more fun. Here we go: **Album Titles** (diary entry 20 June) Schroedinger's Cat Nazi Sinatra If You're Going To Get Caught For Stealing A Horse, You Might As Well Shag It If Your Gran Had Baws She'd Be Your Grandad I'm Allright, Jack I'm Allright, Jane Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead Wanker's Forest Hmm, the smart money's on the third one, but I don't think it'll be any of these, somehow. Didn't Ken have a secret formula for working out album titles? **Song Titles** Definite Album Tracks (mentioned in 27 June diary entry) You Don't Send Me Roy Walker I'm A Cuckoo Step Into My Office, Baby Dear Catastrophe Waitress [hmm, sounds a little familiar..] If She Wants Me **Other Recent Unreleased Tracks** If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Travelling light (My GirlÂ’s Got) Miraculous Technique Shoot the Sexual Athlete The Magic of a Kind Word Nothing in the Silence Wrapped Up In Books Love On The March Desperation Made A Fool Of Me Sleep on a Sunbeam Also, there was a little mention of Lord Anthony in one of Stuart's recent diary entries. I hope it's on more than just his mind and makes it onto the album or an ep. They recorded a version of it ages ago, if I remember properly. If anyone knows anymore, be sure to tell us. Speculation, gossip, rumours, lies - that's the stuff. I'm sure certain people can tell me what I've got wrong. I like a lot of stuff in the diary entries. I like all the stuff about God and love and quantum physics. Subjects close to my heart. It's what we're made of, after all.
