R.I.P. Swells
June 25, 2009
I was saddened to hear about the death of Steven Wells (Swells). I first came across him on the music website playlouder.com about five years ago, and I instantly loved the way he writes.
His ability to expose the absurdity of music as an artform was a unique and impressive gift.
God rest your soul Swells. Some of his finest pieces were written during his illness – see this tale of a smartarse Brit getting lost in the Philadelphia health system.
Steven Wells died on Tuesday 24th June after a 3 year battle with cancer.

Where will it end?
