#ABCsOfMe 'D' is for "DENIM" ...think Ziggy...think Iggy...think Lou...think the Dolls...think Mott..and yes, you can even think T Rex, The Sweet & Slade. The neo-Glam-Rock LP, "Back in Denim" was the urban soundtrack to my world in the early 90s, which is apt because Lawrence ( their oddball, near-genius, maverick leader) was almost obsessed with decades, declaring his excitement & optimism about the onset of the 90s, his disappointment & contempt for the 80s ( "I'm against the 80s") & his cosy, rose-tinted nostalgia for the 70s ( " The Osmonds") but his music was timeless really & Lawrence stands as the 'one who slipped thru' the net', a minor cult hero but DEFINITELY a 'Should-Have-Been Great' and if I had the job of compiling a 'best of Lawrence' album over the 30 odd years from his bands, "Felt", "Denim" & "Go-Kart Mozart", then it would HAVE to be a box set.
