Steven Wells, the former NME writer responsible for some of the quotes in the Sinister signature, died of cancer on Tuesday. I know he railed against B&S and their fans, but I like to think it was done with affection and with a lot of humour. Especially this line: "pasty-faced vegan geeks... and we LOST!" He was a great writer and a lovely man by all accounts, and exactly the kind of adversary a "legion of bedroom saddo devotees" would want. RIP Swells. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
