    All Belle and Sebastian, All the Time?

    Pitchfork picks up a NME story updating the Belle and Sebastian-curated children's music compilation, Zooglobble goes nuts. (You know, for someone who's a little bit skeptical about this whole endeavor, I'm certainly spending a lot of time talking about it. Maybe I'm talking myself into thinking it might just work.)

    First, the actual news -- the compilation on Rough Trade Records is now scheduled for release in October, not September as originally announced. Oh, and the Flaming Lips have been added to the bill.

    Now, for pure silliness, let's guess what the best track will be, purely based on the artist and song name:

    Four Tet (featuring Princess Watermelon) - "Go Go Ninja Dinosaur"
    Rasputina - "A Skeleton Bang"
    Franz Ferdinand - "Jackie Jackson"
    Snow Patrol - "I Am an Astronaut"
    The Divine Comedy - "Three Cheers for Pooh, Cottleston Pie, Piglet Ho"
    The Kooks - "The King & I"
    Half Man Half Biscuit - "David Wainwright's Feet"
    The Barcelona Pavilion - "Tidy Up Tidy Up"
    Jonathan Richman - "Out Dog Is Getting Older Now"
    Ivor Cutler Trio - "Mud"
    The Flaming Lips - "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now"
    Belle & Sebastian - "The Monkeys Are Breaking out of the Zoo"
    Kathryn Williams - "Night Baking"

    I've got my bets on the Four Tet and Flaming Lips tracks. The Divine Comedy track could either be a disaster or inspired. As a big fan of the Milne books, it's a track I simultaneously view with anticipation and dread.
