Nikki Sudden R.I.P.

I'm spending a good amount of time blogging everywhere about this heavy bummer. Another of my heroes died, Nikki Sudden of Swell Maps. Now both the main guys from this group are gone, and taht is a big loss for us all. They ruled, and pretty much defined what punk rock means to me. Serious lo-fi without carrying a banner for it, noisy and immediate. Great songs with fun and interesting lyrics and musicianship. A real sense of humor.

I'm gonna miss him.
