Stuart plays on her solo albums and is obviously very supportive of Bel and her music...
my first theory was this. stuart lee is quite a control freak (???) and when isobel started contributing to belle and sebastian he felt awkward and thought "hmmm do we hafta do this?" obviously little isobel wants and he doesn't want to break her heart so he goes "hey you know what? these songs are so good you should make entire solo album... let me phone up them kids at jeepster and they will probably put them out". now he had gotten rid of isobel's song contribution for belle and sebastian and he was happy. happy enough to help her out. but this theory doesn't hold because of the live tracks "family tree" and "landslide"... blah! maybe it is just me but i wish stuart lee would be that control freak... johan boring and pretentious since 1979 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
