"Everybody should check out his very interesting/awesome/strange videos on youtube, not to mention his many, varied records-- R. Stevie was making home recorded experimental pop records before "lo-fi" was even a word, and he produces songs the way Steve Keene produces paintings: constantly, in great numbers, with something interesting about each one-- Fans of ELO, XTC, and LSD check out "I Like to Stay Home" which is one of my favorite songs ever. The guy is God (he even has a white beard and big psychedelic glasses just like God)". -- Robert Schneider (Apples in Stereo)
"R. Stevie Moore is a genius of a rare order, with the ability to marshall a bewildering diversity of styles and influences and mould them into something quite peculiarly his own. He's one of the few practitioners of post-modernist cross-pollination with the wit and sheer taste to produce a worthy hybrid." -- New Musical Express (UK)
"The American record industry's failure to recognize and promote the unique gifts of this giant talent is a case of criminal neglect." -- Trouser Press Record Guide
"In a field where adjectives like "original" and "independent" are thrown around all too casually, R. Stevie Moore is the genuine article." -- Stereophile
"Recording in his home and selling his tapes direct to his fans, Stevie has for the last four decades effectively been functioning as a one-man underground label. His range of styles run across power-pop, punk, pscyhedelia, garage rock, electronica, synth-pop and even the odd burst of prog, all while having completely bypassed the conventional music business." -- Record Collector (UK)
"R Stevie Moore is probably the world's most prolific unknown singer-songwriter, his colossal output representing a victory for creativity over indifference. A sort of bedroom Brian Wilson, for 40 years RSM has crafted elegant and complex pop in a vast array of styles, playing everything himself and releasing the results on an estimated 400 albums." -- The Independent (UK)
This was always such a horrible song that they pushed on the public because of this video. I thought that even at 10 years old when the song came out. I was like, "why TF do they play this awful song so goddamn much? Because they spent so much on this music video????"
This is only one great song from R Stevie Moore’s great LP “Glad Music”! My other favourite songs on there are “Norway” and “Don’t Let Me Go To The Dogs”! (Although it might be “…Dog” rather than “…Dogs”, it says the former on the sleeve and the latter on the label!) I bought this from Alan Jenkins of The Deep Freeze Mice/Cordelia Records in the mid-Eighties, along with another R Stevie LP called “Verve” that was on Terry Burrows/Yukio Yung’s Hamster label. I scored loads of cool records from Alan!
