Belle and Sebastian continue their unique publicity blitz with a half-hour video that contains two new songs. Released today on the Matador blog, the program includes performances of,“I Want the World to Stop,” and “I Didn’t See it Coming” in addition to a Q&A with fans, and a few chuckles. Watch the entire broadcast below.

Not enough? (Is it ever?) Then how ‘bout this? Belle and Sebastian want you to be the first to own “Here About Love.” After the video, the blog goes on to explain, “We will mail an mp3 of the song to a randomly selected [Twitter] follower on Monday (6th) and they will be the only person outside the band and those closest to them to hear/own a digital copy of the song for 24 hours. It will be the winner’s choice what to do with it ahead of release. They can keep it to themselves in the knowledge that no-one else has it; share it with their friends; hold a listening party at their home or they could let the world either hear it or hear all about it online (and see if we get upset in the process!) – the choice is entirely theirs. . . .” The catch? They want a twitter from you, marked with #writeaboutlove. Loyal followers, have at it.
