Belle and Sebastian to Sell Benefit Live Album on iTunes

Not just any bouncing bundle of digital joy, this iBaby packs megabyte, documenting every moment of the now-legendary September 25, 2005 Belle & Sebastian gig at London's Barbican. All Tomorrow's Parties held the show as part of their Don't Look Back series which featured prominent acts like Gang of Four, the Stooges, and Cat Power performing prominent albums all the way through. Rough Trade will make the live performance of Pitchfork's fourteenth favourite record of the 1990s available December 6 via iTunes.

And you won't be the only one administered to, as all proceeds from Sinister download sales will go to the UK's Disasters Emergency Committee "Asia Quake Appeal", dedicated to providing support to victims of the recent earthquake in Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan.

While any self-respecting indie pop aficionado should have it memorized, here's the round-up for If You're Feeling Sinister: Live at the Barbican:

01 The Stars of Track And Field
02 Seeing Other People
03 Me and the Major
04 Like Dylan in the Movies
05 The Fox in the Snow
06 Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying
07 If You're Feeling Sinister
08 Mayfly
09 The Boy Done Wrong Again
10 Judy and the Dream of Horses

As previously reported, the boy and his dog will celebrate 2006 by launching "The Civic Pride Tour", playing songs to set the people of Scotland, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland free:

Several of those numbers may indeed be culled from Stuart and the gang's forthcoming long-player The Life Pursuit, arriving February 7 in the U.S. by way of Belle and Sebastian's born-again home, Matador.
