Aside from the fact that they're taking this news brief from Rollingstone.com, which seems a strange journalistic tactic, at the very least, whoohoo! New B & S album! And something to make me sad, only because I can't go to London on September 25:

"Rolling Stone also notes that Belle and Sebastian will be touring the U.S. next spring. For now, your only chance to see Stuart Murdoch shake his lil tush on the catwalk Stateside will be at the Across the Narrows festival in New York City in October. Or you can trek to London on September 25 to see the band perform their classic If You’re Feeling Sinister in its entirety as part of All Tomorrow’s Parties’ “Don’t Look Back” series. Or you can sit in your room and weep into your diary until the flowers bloom again."

One of my favorite albums. In it's entirety. Performed live. Le sigh.
