As previously reported, The Life Pursuit is set for a February 6 release via Rough Trade in the UK (presumably, it will come out the next day in America). Song titles include "Sukie In The Graveyard", "Funny Little Frog", "Song For Sunshine", "Act Of The Apostle Part I", "Another Sunny Day", and "A White Collared Boy", and the disc was recorded in L.A. with producer Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Grandaddy, Stars, Supergrass, Phoenix).

If you live in Los Angeles, you can go see director Chris Jaymes' new film, In Memory Of My Father, which features several Belle and Sebastian songs, and will be shown as part of the AFI Fest 2005 in Hollywood on November 7 and 8. If you live in Scotland, tune into BBC Two Scotland tonight between 11:35 and 12:05 to see a Belle and Sebastian performance, including a new song. If you live in Manchester, check out keyboardist Chris Geddes' DJ set tomorrow night at the "Burn Your Books" party at the Night and Day Café. David Holmes and Andy Votel will also spin. And if you live in Slough, well, we're sorry, no Belle and Sebastian for you. You're just going to have to go out and get sloshed with your co-workers again this weekend.
