DUKES OF STRATOSPHEARS REISSUED!
captivating new expansive article about RSM's father Bob Moore written by the legendary Rich Kienzle appears in the Spring issue of "NO DEPRESSION" bookazine - go buy one - contents compiled herein only for rsm fans H-E-R-E // sorry, gone now - forced removal!
Plans already underway for the Cherry Red release of the follow-up to last year's Meet The R. Stevie Moore CD compilation. Songs have been chosen (mainly 80's & 90's faves), track sequencing is being finalized, remastering tasks forthcoming. Tentative album title is "MEET TWO (Me, too!)" Watch this space, peoples.
Newly posted on FREEMUSICARCHIVE, rsm's "Phoning It In" performance broadcast of 5/26/05 UP.
currently planned for several separately individual volumes. Byte the Hand that RSS Feeds. Spoken word + music. Not for the squeamish. Mostly fanboy-targeted biocollectibles, revealing the full unedited session reels, warts n all, not re-sequenced for commercial appeal. Portrait of the artist at work. Mash it up on your own mix-tape, fools. Ulminited outrage. ("R.S.M.stop picking on me I am hurt,crying,and because l am from England I don't understand the bizzare way you talk,l am not even an artist anyway.")
this week's issue of RSMTV GUIDE presents NEW LIVE PUNKT COVERS of "Human Race" (by The Pity Fucks/Portland OR) "U. R. True" (by T. V. Coahran/Seattle)
RSM classic appears on Otis Fodder's Comfort Stand Retrospective mixtape for the op3n net label in Spain.
To the fifteen fans I got:
Dear souls,
30+ years of concerts, still at square one (??), and now it's time to lay my hat down. Thanks deeply to all who ever bothered coming to one of my shows, and especially to those who "got it". Simply must go retire from this, ain't that sad? I may return at some point for a one-off, but now the curtain has closed. Too old and disoriented for the competitive indieyouth rock 'n roll stage. 09 is the final credits rolling. Gave it my all. Game over. There'll be some changes made. Love to my loveRS. Goodbyeee cruel world! Log out.

RECOMMENDED RECORDS SAMPLER REISSUED ON DOUBLE CD :
"Faust, Art Bears, ZNR, Robert Wyatt, The Residents, Henry Cow, This Heat, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, Stormy Six, Aqsak Maboul, Picchio Dal Pozzo, Decibel, Goebbels and Harth, The Homosexuals, The Work, Amos and Sarah, The Black Sheep, Feliu Gasul, Hector Zazou, The Muffins, R.Stevie Moore, Robel Vogel, Ron Pate/Raudelunas, Conventum, Joseph Racaille and Patrick Portella... Originally released in 1982, this is a collection of specially commissioned and (at the time) newly recorded pieces by the most interesting groups and individuals then in the Recommended catalogue. Never reissued, it has slowly become a prized collectors' item - and remains an indispensable snapshot of the range and musical brilliance of this critical moment in the history of a small community of left-field groups struggling towards new musical languages. The breadth of imagination displayed is exemplary and it is amazing how fresh and original this music still sounds, and how much things have changed in only 25 years. What was intended on its release as a practical compendium has now become a definitive document so, on the occasion of Recommended's 30th anniversary, we have decided to reissue it fully re-mastered and with additional accompanying material."

Stewart Mason (finally) reviews MEET (Cherry Red) for AllMusic. Without notifying me. I stumbled upon it. Hail hail.
A full 40 years after Nashville high school student Robert Steven Moore received his first multi-track tape recorder from his session musician father Bob Moore, Meet the R. Stevie Moore! is the highest profile release so far by the father of DIY home recording. Given the sheer volume of songs Moore has recorded in the intervening decades -- the online catalogue at his website now lists over 400 CDs, all but a handful self-released -- no single anthology can cover the best of his work. Even limiting these 25 songs to the years between 1974 and 1986 (generally considered Moore's most consistently solid period, and certainly his most productive), there's still at least two or three more CDs' worth of worthy contenders that didn't make this anthology. (No "Manufacturers"? No "Part of the Problem"? No "Bloody Knuckles"?) That said, it's difficult for an R. Stevie Moore fan to argue with this selection of tunes, a top to bottom solid and well-sequenced anthology that focuses on Moore's very real gifts as a pop songwriter, equally adept at both smart, funny rockers (the British Invasion-inspired "You and Me," the Sparks-like "She Don't Know What To Do With Herself") and wistful ballads (the simply gorgeous acoustic reverie "Hobbies Galore" and the richly melodic "Play Myself Some Music," the near-perfect jangle of "I Wanna Hit You," the best song Big Star never wrote). To give a fully-rounded portrait, the anthology also contains a couple of Moore's trademark oddball tunes, "Goodbye Piano" and "Puttin' Up the Groceries" as well as some of his more creative experiments, such as the chipmunk-voice disco-synth fragment "Horizontal Hideaway" and (included as an unlisted bonus track following the manic falsetto rocker "Adult Tree") the transcendently spooky electronic waltz "Terribly Honest." Perhaps the most representative anthology so far released of R. Stevie Moore's enormous output outside of some of his own occasional best-of CD-rs, Meet the R. Stevie Moore! should in fact create some new converts. There's plenty Moore where this came from. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
