The thing is with swells for me
Is that he's funny for half of what he writes, but then it gets a bit repetitive and not funny.
Terrible.
Did you really find it funny ?
I dunno, maybe its me, I didn't laugh once reading that.
how much
did he get paid for that?
that was awful
I thought it was funny
jesus lighten up you miserable twats
He's about as funny as Prole
Don't be daft
He's nowhere near as funny as Prole.
Morrissey
Swells is obsessed by him. Can he write an article without mentioning him?
^This
Also, given his recent form, I wouldn't be surprised if he took them to court over that article.
That was really disappointing
Even for Swells.
Is this article
conclusive proof that Swells just has generic racism pieces primed and ready to go whenever a race-related story crops up?
Dull, unfunny, repetitive, largely pointless.
Getting down to the bottom
and then seeing that advert was well worth it for me.
that advert
is extraordinary
hahaha! outstanding.
:D
That was verbose and boring.
The internet's main flaw is that it gives piss-poor journalists an undeserved pedestal.
yuh
except that swells has been one of the most famous music journalists in the country since long before the internet
swells is the worse person in history
i hope he comes down with consumption
worst
failfailfailfail
Who the hell is this Swells fellow?
ex NME journo
basically ruined The Bluetones career by 'outing' Mark Morris as a racist, despite basically no evidence - http://www.bluetones.org.uk/interviews/2000/nme_19_02_00.html
i'm glad most publications
have stopped trying to make celebrities out of their journalists. "one top Rottweiler", CRINGE. when mark beaumont retires it will be a good day for the universe
...
No-one of any consequence read NME back then. The Bluetones' career was ruined because they were wet indie shite.
get fucked you silly cunt
racist ^
They're now condemned to playing
students unions and Guildfest.
Outed him?
"Mark's a good bloke and I sincerely doubt he has a single racist bone in his body."
Sounds like the worst outing in history.
that was shit.
what is his point?
or is there no point? is that the point?
oh no
the comments link back to this thread
quick, say something witty and intelligent like erm...
http://tinyurl.com/5d7t6e
oh no, what have I become
*wet's Morrissey bedspread*
haha i got quoted
he is a very, very bad journalist though
urgh that's a total cringe
hello, FNG here!
So what's the deal here then? We're all about 12 and a bit slow on the uptake?
I'm 37 and might be a bit slow
and totally french.
Can't believe I read that in full...
A few minutes of my life gone...
you're right ...
The man's a total fucking disgrace. Check this shit out:

You rubbish man
go and write something interesting instead of getting arsey.
is this actually steven wells?
if it is, this is embarrassing
I REALLY REALLY LIKED YOUR ARTICLE STEVE
PLEASE DON'T MOCK ME ON THE INTERNET
What are you, twelve?
Why are there only 3 types of music journalism these days? It's either a wanky "best band since foals" type review, a really badly written straight down the line "the guitar sounds good on this album, as do the drums. 7/10" type one or a negative review full of "hilarious" put downs and terrible similies connoting things to hitler and saying stupid stuff like "this band are so shit that..."?
I REALLY REALLY AGREE WITH YOU YES_
PLEASE DON'T MOCK ME ON THE INTERNET
Feel my wrath
YOU ARE TWELVE
i don't think it's him anyway
Horrendous
as was the Micah P Hinson review..
jesus that was bad..
i used to enjoy the nme back when steven wells edited the letters pages, but that was just shite.
lol wells
has made mention of this thread in his comments
imo I think he's overestimated how much people give a toss about Lydon
that kind of writing works better with different public personas
Good ol' Swells...
Good to have 'im back... NME certainly hasn't been the same since his axing post positive articles for Daphne & Celeste/Steps etc.
