Famous hardass music reviewer Steven Wells passed away of cancer last night. Of all the strange turns his life had taken, surely one of the oddest is that atheist punk rock anarchist Wells took several shots at the knitting community, yanking the chains of the knitters with wild, delighted, and delightful abandon.
Wells was a troll in the best and purest sense of the word. His music reviews for the NME are the stuff of legend. Wells made a career of stepping on people’s toes, pouring himself into his vitriol-fueled writing like no one else.
He will be missed.
