An excerpt from the mighty quill of Steven Wells past:

Severe quality infection. I rest my case.

He still wasted his life, though.

 

[bluestreak]

Really? What's he doing now then?

If I was him - public school SWPer turned music journalist - I'd be looking at my plate and seeing a great big helping of 'I wasted my life'.

really? seems like a charmed life to me.

Yeah, I thought that as well when I was 16.

alright, here's a thing...

if anyone on urban is rich enough to start a magazine, there are enough geeks, writers, and recovering music industry bods knocking about that we could probably create the ultimate music weekly.

anyone?

I vote Orang Utang as editor. From todays posts I undertand that....: All live music is shit, all live recordings are shit and 99% of all music is shit, perhaps we could just produce a flyer unless he wants to really gush about what he does like

Back in the day Sounds was way better

That's what I always used to read - wouldn't touch NME or MM, they seemed too far up their own collective arses for my 15 year old precious self

He writes for philadelphia weekly. It's a shame that his Attack Books endeavour failed in its mission to destroy 'serious' english literature. He put out some great titles though.
