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 Girl’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.
