Obituary: Steven Wells - The Guardian
Iconoclastic music journalist who went on to write about sport, politics and culture
David Quantick
The Guardian, Monday 29 June 2009
Excerpt:
...But before that, he had spent most of his career officially writing about music. From the awful Morrissey to indie kings Belle and Sebastian, from emo to Bono (who once sent Swells an axe, asking to "bury the hatchet"), if you weren't the spirit of punk, or pop, incarnate, if you weren't the Sex Pistols or Kylie Minogue or Pansy Division, you were worthless. Especially if you were Belle and Sebastian, whom Steven described as "self-loving, knock-kneed, passive aggressive, dressed-up-in-kiddy-clothes, mock-pop-creepiness-peddling, smug, underachieving, real-pop-hating no-talents celebrating their own inadequacy with music so white it's translucent". He invented the word "saddo". He had to; there weren't enough words to castigate the enemy so he needed to invent new ones.

John Rosberg writes:Just heard today that Monday's gig has been cancelled, I feel sick to the stomach. Promoters were playing around with ticket prices for ages, with prices going as high as 3000 RUR ($120), now the venue is saying that Moz's management has called it off - no news yet about refunds etc...
Despite some healthy promotion of the gig in the city, I suspect that poor ticket sales might be to blame...aside from ex-pats, there's not much Moz interest here.
