Oops, i jumped the gun yet again :)  anyhow, the current situation is as
follows:

belle & sebastian will not be releasing any singles from this album (as
indeed i hope they never will ...). i don't know how radio promotion
works outside the uk ... the other territories take care of this in
their own way however they feel is best.

as far as videos go, there is a video for "is it wicked not to care?"
which is being edited soon.  again, i can only tell you how we do things
in the uk and i'm not up on what everyone else does.  all territories
will receive copies of the vids, whether they get shown locally depends
on their tv promotion campaign.

i know that doesn't help much, but i spose it's an answer anyway!

cheers,
Katrina.
