FUNNY LITTLE FROG (CD) (16 Jan 2006)
Most of the remaining shows on the North American Tour go onsale tomorrow. Check www.belleandsebastian.com/tour.php for details of specific shows. Due to the alarming speed that the NYC and DC shows sold out, I'd recommend getting in early. It seems we still have it. Either that or the scalpers think we do.

Also, a reminder that B&S make only their second appearance on "Top Of The Pops" this Sunday at 7pm on BBC 2 (UK only). It seems these things only come around every 5 years. It's also worth watching to see The Go! Team, and see if you can spot Will Young's black eye, despite his label's better efforts to hide it. (You can probably tell it's already been recorded can't you? We nipped down after Sunday's Glasgow show, shot it, and were back in time for the Monday show).

The appearance is if course to celebrate the impending chart smash that is "Funny Little Frog". You can still help us beat Son of Dork, if you haven't yet, by buying the single from your friendly local retailer or iTunes, or by downloading the live version from www.7digital.com or texting BELLE FLF to 81330. Before Sunday. Remember, if using an adult's phone or credit card, put it back EXACTLY where you found it, or you'll get caught.

Finally, news regarding the transmission of "The Music Show". As previously reported, it is to be broadcast on BBC 2 Scotland at 10pm on January 31st. Non-Scottish Britons of a digital bent will be delighted to learn that BBC 2 Scotland can be viewed on Sky Channel 960 and NTL Channel 927. So there you go...
