Meet one of the current buzz bands of the moment, the Swedish group I'm From Barcelona: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb21_w4uU1A Now, is it just me, or is...
...to wish you the very best. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, R. STEVIE!!! Thanks for hanging with us, and for providing us such a unique soundtrack to our lives. Long may...
hallo group, we are hoping you are having a good start of year, this is January... sorry i don't get up in these parts 2 often, for i am trapped out in los...
RSM, Good to hear your're in LA. Sad to hear you've got tinnitus. I've got a dose of that too. Personally, I play the bloody iPod. Keep the spirit up, guy! ...
I'm happy to be here. What am I listening to? 1981-1983 RSM minimalist/postpunk like THEMES, PATHOS, COLUMN 88 seem to suit my winter moods at the moment. When...
Ya shaved yer beard?? Yup I think we need photographic evidence of this! Granted, I haven't checked yer website today, so maybe there's apipc I haven't seen...
You're 100% right about "All Well And Good," that was one of the first RSM tapes I ever heard and it still knocks me out. 1986 was/is a superior vintage year....
Hey Doug, Out of all of the RSM releases I have (and I only have about 20 or 30 of them), I think the New Rose studio albums are my favorites. I can't decide...
The video "Vol. 3" is great, too. I must have watched that 100 times. Lots of stellar tunes, comedy material, video collage experiments. My wife doesn't get...
I still haven't figured out exactly how these yahoo! groups work yet.. I'm used to ragebox.com type message boards. Anyways just wanted to say I recently heard...
I know my missus well enough at this stage to work out what music she'll like or dislike, so I wouldn't even dream of getting her to listen to RSM. I like it,...
This is an interesting topic of discussion. Spouses who for whatever reason can't get RSM's music. It can't possibly be just Stevie's eclectcism that the...
this is interesting. my ex liked some of rsm's output, but not most. my new wife has only heard a fraction of it. she "gets it" that it is art, but is not...
It is an interesting topic. My wife is certainly no square, but RSM music just seems to give her the willies. She says hearing his music makes her feel "like...
Music is a personal thing, and I suppose we shouldn't expect our partners to react positively to all the "specialist" stuff we like. We love 'em because of who...
I'm a big, big, big RSM fan. But you know what turns people off? It's not the unusual music. It's not the lo-fi. It's not the variety. It's his singing voice....

That is consistent with not only my wife's feelings, but even some of my hipster / indie / outsider music-loving friends. It drives me crazy, because in my...
I've just recently found out about RSM. When I play it for people they usually like it. but they don't love it? I think they like enough to investigate it...
hmmm... being a hugh guided by voices fan I'd have to say that's the absolute worst person to reference for versatility in contemporary music. This coming from...
Right, well . . . no slagging of Robert Pollard intended. That was the first name that came to mind because of a specific music buddy I was thinking of, a guy...
The GBV metatag is likely used to attract people who don't know about Stevie's music. The association of the two has to do with many critical reviews of RSM...
well, i'll say that steve is sure no tom waits, or dylan, or prine, or newman, or lester flatt, or andy griffith, or johnny cash, or, john lydon. or joey...
Kevin Ayers! I started listening to Kevin Ayers specifically because of RSM articles or interviews that mentioned a vocal similarity. First of all, Kevin Ayers...
Yes! I love both of them. R. stevie moore is amazing. His songs, lyrics and voice are all incredible. One thing that I do understand about that comment is that...
Sorry I keep posting but one more thing. I find it very hard to get people into GBV/pollard as well. That being said... I find that so far way more people...
ok I'm a newbie in the RSM catalogue. I found a copy of phonography on vinyl from ebay. Then I ordered piano lessons, on greycroft, skeletons, zeitgeist,...
