SY Interview by Steven Wells (mid-90's)
 

Does anyone have the interview where the late, infamous, brilliant Steven Wells takes jabs at the band? I think it was from NME sometime in the mid-90's. The dude was hilarious, a real rarity, and I'm anxious to find this.

never heard of this, sounds interesting

It was the May 2nd 1998 issue, with Jeff Buckley on the cover, while they were doing press for A Thousand Leaves. We talked about it in the Swells obit thread last year, but no-one seemed to have a copy.

I was really pissed off about this at the time (Wells was a brilliant writer but he was just on the offensive here and didn't give SY a chance). NME did give A Thousand Leaves 9/10 the following week though I seem to remember.

Steven Wells was a total wanker.
