Sinister: RIP Steven Wells

[Ian Watson]

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.
