David Stubbs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Stubbs (born 13 September 1962, London) is a British journalist. He grew up in Leeds. As a student at Oxford University he was a close friend of Simon Reynolds. The two joined Melody Maker in 1986, where Stubbs remained for a dozen years. He combined his serious writing career with writing the humorous "Talk Talk Talk" section, which featured the character of "Mr Agreeable" who would insult virtually everything with barrages of swear words (asterisked out to fit within IPC Media regulations)

Stubbs has written, more seriously, for the now-defunct Vox magazine, for the NME (late 1990s and early 2000s), and as editor of The Wire,^[1] Uncut, The Guardian, The Times and the football magazines Goal and When Saturday Comes. He has also contributed to many of the themed special editions of Uncut. He has written about musicians as diverse as Jimi Hendrix and Eminem in the Stories Behind Every Song series. .^{[citation needed]}
