Hi Fragrant Ones! My first B&S dream! Last night I dreamt that after nearly 12 months of nothing happening from Belle & Sebastian (at least that was available in public) one of the members left the band, & that despite this momentous news Sinister was so far up its collective bottom that the event passed without comment (apart from some poor bloke who empties the bins at a national newspaper in the UK) As usual I made myself wake up from this nightmare, & thought that if it were to come to pass that Stuart David did in fact leave the band I would miss him & pretty tunes like Winter Wooskie or Paper Boat being played live a lot , but would wish him well in all his new ventures. I would hope that he has every success with all of him. As to filling the gap in the band left by his departure, we know that Stuart M, Isobel, Chris & Neil can all play bass. I hope that the quietly self-deprecating & pish-taking humour & his ability not to take himself too seriously role gets adequately covered too.
