Pitchfork reports that after having a track of his denied in favour of a Coldplay track for the soundtrack of a feature film this summer, Mike Skinner has decided to make special use of it anyway. So besides being the purported last track on his new record, "The Escapist" will also be the centrepiece of a film project for Skinner: a music video that chronicles his walk from England to the Franco-Spanish border. You can check out his progress here:

Speaking of that album, here is the tracklist for it as posted on the aforementioned website. It's due to hit shelves in August.
1. Everything Is Borrowed
2. Heaven for the Weather
3. I Love You More (Than You Like Me)
4. Just Thought of Something
5. On the Flip of a Coin
6. The Sherry End
7. Alleged Legends
8. What Are Chances of That Like?
9. When That Day Will Be
10. Further Away
11. Strongest Person I Know
12. The Escapist

And while we're on the topic of A Grand Don't Come for Free, there have been delicious murmurings surrounding the conversion of Skinner's 2004 masterpiece into a full length-feature film. One can't be too sure how serious a proposal it is, but the idea itself is certainly worth reporting, because such a movie would blow the collective mind of NLtS. You can decide for yourself:
