<DIV>The forthcoming BELLE AND SEBASTIAN full-length has a title <BR>now,
"The Boy with the Arab Strap." We expect to get a lot <BR>of flack for
this, but it was entirely the band's decision. <BR>We gave them SEVERAL options
for titles and this one was the <BR>one they chose. ("Stop, Look, Run
On"; "Can't Fight the Cat <BR>Power"; or "Go Buy the New
Solex Record" didn't have the <BR>right ring). </DIV>
