You died without submitting your final piece for NME

You weren't exactly Lester Bangs material, but people still got a kick out of what you did. It wasn't until that smash and grab at the animal pharmaceuticals factory that things started to go downhill for you.

They found you curled up on your desk with some blood and broken vials scattered around you. What they initally thought was a suicide note turned out to be the last thing you'd ever have published. It was a review for an album you had not bothered to name. So they used it to fill out some Bozo Dog Band retrospective and people still lapped it up:

TRACK ONE IS TOPS ITS THE BEST SHIT EVER
TRACK TWO IS OK BUT I DONT REMEMBER [unreadable] UNDER THE BLEACHERS AND THEY CALL HIM WALLY WANK-OFF FOR A REASON
