I also listened to an internet/download only comp last night called Tra La La Phooey which is all over the place (even for him).

Delicate Tension's much like Phonography though?

he's the patron saint of home recording really.
he said Delicate Tension might be coming back into print later this year, and he still has some copies of the pressed CD version of Phonography for sale.

any particular cassettes to watch out for?
― gnarly sceptre, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 22:18 (4 years ago) Permalink
start with Phonography. then Delicate Tension / Swing and a Miss / Sheetrock / Stance, then move slowly & carefully through the 80's. but those youtubes, still finding so many incredible songs from 70-84 I'd never heard
funny to reread upthread, Dominique sent RSM a couple of instrumentals, he added overdubs and threw them on one of his cassettes a few months later
― Milton Parker, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 22:34 (4 years ago) Permalink
On the Report Card CD, he added music behind a recording of his mother-in-law singing "Happy Birthday" into an answering machine. He's dubbed a band onto some Shooby Taylor songs too.

Only recently found out he was the son of Bob Moore, co- founder of Monument and bass player in the house band there: the lovely bass on all those Roy O. records are him.

Found out "Glad Music" in the end.Its his 80's period, but there's still a lot of great great stuff.

I was wondering about this guy after hearing one of his songs on one of those Hyped 2 Death 80s Nuggets online comps, thanks for this thread - just found Phonography & Delicate Tension on a blog, that'll do for a start.

i'm surprised no one's mentioned "games & groceries." from 1978. "i wanna sleep" into "you came along just in time" is amazingly classic.

The man himself mentioned an upcoming Ariel Pink collaboration on Facebook the other day -- not surprising given their mutual admiration society and all.

yeah he just played in mpls but i didn't go, but anyway i was curious about who it was and now i'm watching like 8 zillion youtubes
just very...i dunno...weird and distinctive and i don't really know where he fits in, like is he the jandek of power pop or something?
i guess there were lots of young kids in bands and stuff at his show, i think he's some kinda hero now

A lot of it has to do with the Ariel Pink mutual appreciation society (which does make perfect sense).
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 29 June 2011 22:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
oh yeah i guess i could definitely see his influence on ariel pink (or a least the one ariel pink album i heard)
i guess he really wanted to go to paisley park after the show but ppl told him prince doesn't really live there anymore

finding all of his well categorized and properly labeled youtubes is kind of like suddenly finding some clear long lost wonderful oldies station while driving through the desert

I'm pretty sure he's covered around 25% of all songs ever written. From "Only Shallow" to Captain Kangaroo's "Horse in Striped Pajamas."

I went to a house show in Nashville last weekend where he played, and got to hang out w him and he was a complete sweetheart. Anyways originally he was going to headline but he decided to open the show instead, and it was really a whole lot of fun. He was giving out copies of his new CD "Advanced", so im looking forward to listening to that a bunch this weekend. Super awesome guy!
