Hey David, I emailed Belle & Sebastian on their website to help out morrissey & this was the response. It's not really news, but kind of interesting none the less. I was kinda of whining and they put me in my place! -Jonathon P.S. The response is listed first, and my original question is listed below it. At 10:14 AM 2/18/02 +0000, you wrote: Why does everyone think we have our own label? We don't you know. As difficult as some people may find this to believe, many of B&S couldn't care less about Morrissey. I bet you he's happy enough as he is.

"helping" Morrissey (Score:2, Informative)
a) Morrissey is way, way richer than anyone in B&S is ever likely to be. How many members of B&S live in mansions in the Hollywood Hills? Up until very recently most of them had day jobs as well.
b) Morrissey doesn't need "helping". He needs to get off his arse, make an album with his own money and tout it to labels as a finished product, or else mmarket it independantly, rather than just sitting around in his mansion waiting for the phone to ring.
c) Jeepster is an indie. I'm sure they could never pay Morrissey the sort of money he would want/expect. Morrissey wants the money/financial support of a major label. personally I'd quite like to see him on an indie, but I don't think it's going to happen.
d) B&S have tried hard to shake the dreaded "new Smiths" tag. I'm sure this would backfire badly for them.
e) To the best of my knowledge, only Stuart Murdoch and Isobel Campbell are Smiths fans. And I've never heard either of them mention his solo stuff.

The B&S's response was almost delicate if we read the pathetic question first.
