Pre-order Idlewild's unrecorded album, get name in sleeve

Idlewild's new album may or may not be called Outkast

Idlewild haven't started recording their seventh album yet, but you can still pre-order - with a twist - right now. The Scottish rockers are offering a limited edition CD with a bonus track unavailable on the general release. Those clambering to sign-up will also get their name in the album booklet and on a roll-call on Idlewild's website.

A perfect way, if you needed one, to find out who your real fans are.

The band plan to hit the studio in early 2009 for a summer release. Pre-orders could be shipped as early as April, but they're not making any promises.
