I'm planning a Lawrence spotlight feature at Tower U.S. - too bad Denim On Ice and Novelty Rock aren't reissued (yet?) so I could hint at the joys of "Brumburger" and "The New Potatoes" (and other tunes that irritated as b-sides but became brilliant as a great crap comp). probably build the feature around the core of Strange Idols, Forever Breathes, Back In Denim and Tearing Up (latter also read as choking up, making you blub).
current spotlights: Comsats and Rob Wratten (thanks lovely reissue labels).

Yes, I saw them. So did Mooro and (possibly against her will) Lixi McLixi AKA Raston Warrior Robot.
No, there was not any Denim. It was very loud.

the working mens club show was great. the set was a bit short and lawrence's voice could have been higher in the mix. it was all pretty together. the band were oddly reminiscent of earl brutus in their loud blokey glam stompiness. but earl brutus with lawrence singing, which is fine by me. i never saw denim mind. let alone felt.

Lawrence talks to Girls.

Oh my god! I've been obsessed with Lawrence for about 14 years but I've never heard him be interviewed before. He's so awkward and sweet, it just made me love him even more.
One day someone will write about a book about his life and he will finally get the recognition he deserves.

You should read the book 'Song Man' by Will Hodgkinson.

We're currently working on a Felt/Lawrence fanzine, due out early this spring - the release will be announced on our blog at http://foxtrotecholimatango.blogspot.com.
At the moment contents include essays, memoirs (reliable and unreliable), portraits of Lawrence, unanswered emails, previously unseen photographs, a Felt family tree, tour posters and other more oblique offerings!

xpost, the lawrence parts of the 'song man' book are pretty depressing. he's sort of a wreck in there, attending NA meetings, on the verge of eviction, still dreaming about writing his #1 hit though. it was written in 2007 so maybe he's in a better situation now.
(oddly enough i just mentioned that book on a different thread i just started up)

Foxtrot, I have some photos that I took at Felt's last ever show at Burberry's in Birmingham that I can mail you or share online if yr interested. They used to be on Rui's old Felt tribute site but that doesn't seem to be getting updated these days - good on you for keeping the torches burning.

Hey Bill, nice to meet you. That sounds well exciting! Maybe you could sent them to us?Would be highly aprecciated, of course.

At one particular lowpoint in the 90s, Lawrence was hired by McGee to be Creation's receptionist. The only problem was that he didn't know how to work the phones, and whenever a call needed to be transferred, he had to get up from this desk, walk to whoever the call was for and ask them to come back and put the call through to their own phone (at least, that's what a Creation staffer of the time told me). The arrangement didn't last long.
