read about this yesterday
I didn't realize this, but Nikki Sudden died last week. The Swell Maps and other of those early Rough Trade bands were a really big part of my life a few years ago, and Nikki continued to make weird albums and generally be a crazy dude for a while. He will be very missed in these parts.
It kind of makes me sad that The Swell Maps still sound crazy after all these years. Nobody puts baloon solos or blows bubbles in bathtubs on records anymore. Which is doubly weird, because with cheap sampling technology, it's is so much easier these days to do that stuff.
