What a great shame. Swells wrote for the NME when musicians - and music journalists - had something to say. Now that we live in a world in which bands merely sing about their shoes, and in which hacks write about music as if it were a hair product, we need people like Swells more than ever. I bet he'll be in the great bar in the sky with Lester Bangs tonight...
