Re: More Felt improvising

I mentioned the other day that MD and LH had a certain respect for each other. This should be commented on.

I am not saying that the two of them like each other. I do not believe for a single moment that they would get on at all these days. But nevertheless, there was an artistic integrity that they are both very much in possession of, and it is this particular aspect of their personalities that was, and undoubtedly still is, the reason for the mutual respect between them. I know from long ago that MD admires LH's poetic prowess; he always thought very well of the latter's lyrics. It is wrong to hold the widely held belief that MD never listened to LH's words. He had full familiarity with them. Indeed, can we believe that someone who is so musically competent would go for 5 years without ever listening to the words in his own compositions (it is yet again another Felt myth)? And we all know the admiration held by LH about MD's musical ability.

It is interesting to note, though, that in the days when this most dynamic duo led the world in Indie Art Pop, they actually used to regularly socialise with each other. I remember MD explaining to me about specific social exploits that the two of them would engage in. They would often go to public drinking places in Birmingham city centre, as well as Indie nights at certain night clubs and discuss all things relevant to music, and of course, Felt. LH once said to MD that he was the only person who he could go out with. This may surprise Felters, but the fact is that MD was the only one who LH could get on with in a social kind of way. I just thought that I would mention it.

Proceed to the "New Post" for a mini Moz/little Loz fact combined.
