Listen up, people. You won't have heard about this yet, but the Scottish pop group Belle and Sebastian are releasing some new records. One of them is called 'Jonathan and David' and will be out on June 18th, to mark the anniversary of the 'J18' demonstrations. Lead track is called 'Jonathan and David'. Other songs include 'Take Your Carriage Clock And Shove It'. A 'carriage clock' is a kind of clock, a piece used for keeping the time on carriages. It is often given to pop groups at awards ceremonies in Scotland. Speculation is Fife, I mean, rife that songwriter Rupert Murdoch wrote the song because he was sick of being given carriage clocks at ceremonies. The song effectively says, "take back the carriage clock with which you have just presented me, because I don't want it. I already have one. In fact, I have several". A third track in the running is called 'The Middle of the Loneliest Runner'. This is a song that the band played on the Tube a couple of years ago, on a carriage between Liverpool Street and Barking. It is not known whether the carriage had a clock. The song describes the loneliness of being a runner. I hope that this news has got you interested. I also have some more news which I think you'll agree is even more exciting. Belle & Sebastian will be playing some dates in Scotland this summer. They may also play some palms, possibly in Morocco, depending on the state of the Road. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
