# Talk:R. Stevie Moore

Are we sure this Bob Moore is not R. Stevie's dad and Scotty Moore the one who gets mistaken for him? If not then where's the real Bob Moore (musician)? Flowerparty 7 July 2005 18:37 (UTC)
Nashville session bassist Bob Loyce Moore is most definitely Robert Steven Moore's father.

Take a look at the wording -- this is all vanity.

Correction: This page contains information and descriptions provided by others. R. Stevie Moore does have a large cult following and he has been reviewed in myriad publications. It is not vanity.

According to Wikipedia "One of the major aspects of fancruft articles is that they tend to focus entirely on their subject's fictional relevance, as opposed to their place in the real world."  I ask you? Does this sound like the condition of R. Stevie Moore? If so, "hold the rag next to your face, for now is the time for your tears."

The "condition" of R. Stevie Moore is that he has been a musician and recording artist for nearly forty years.  His story including his influence on other musicians has been referenced in international books, newspapers and many online articles and discussion groups because he was a pioneering home-recording artist who began to self-release his music in the 1970's. His prolific work is also famous since his album-length releases (cassettes and CDs)number around 400. He also was a radio dj on WFMU in East Orange, NJ, a famous alternative radio station. Archives of his shows are on wfmu.org. Finally, a simple Google or Yahoo search of R. Stevie Moore's name will dispel any doubts that he is "fictional" and he currently runs his own website where he sells his music. Kolsiewicz 6/13/2007
I hear you, man. I agree. I think that definition from Wikipedia is a bit lame. Of course he's 'real'. I mean, come on. Does it take a consensus to make something 'real'. That's bent! I appreciate R. Stevie Moore. He seems like a cool cat. If Wikipedia wants to attack the right for a page about him to exist here, I just ask "Why?" The article tells about R. Stevie, it's glowing at times. But, you know, check out his stuff and see if it ain't true. It's just some stuff man, you listen to it and watch it, is all. You might like it, might not...but it's no big sweat either way. Right?
Actually, Wikipedia says "Biographies of living people should be written responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. While a strategy of eventualism may apply to other subject areas, badly written biographies of living persons should be stubbed or deleted." I guess somebody ought to pare this article down, shape it up. Otherwise, it'll get axed. Keep the tone level, dude. They'll let you keep the page if you change it a little, it seems. Whoever made this should do it.
I have a question. It's clear that R. Stevie Moore can play the guitar well, but, man, in many of his videos when he's playing acoustic solo...well...it don't sound so hot. I mean, the cat's got a lot of 'produced' music, it's true. But, come on, why don't he pull out the stops more and rip up the acoustic? (I don't mean flashy, either.) And, like he's been on Uncle Floyd a lot, but it's mostly lip sync and stuff, it seems. I think people who'd dig the cat's music don't like that too good, cappice! They want to hear feedback, and fingers sliding on the strings, creaking piano stools, oddly struck chords. Live, tight-rope type stuff. I mean, no offense to Derek Bailey or the later work of John Fahey, but this stuff was way out, and cool...and frankly speaking, these two cats get more props than r. stevie, in some circles. I guess it don't matter. Plenty of folks is doing there own way, and they'll be plenty more. That's the sweet thing...anybody who wants to can make they own music themselves...really rare and fine. Don't need no props for that...matter of fact, props might be a hindrance.
Anyway, I tried to improve this article by making it more 'neutral' and factual. The subject is music, after all. Anyway, maybe this one'll make it.
Why is the first paragrpah of this bio about Bob Moore (musician), Stevie's father? Is this important to his story, the people his father is famous for playing with?  DELETE IT.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.143.223.18 (talk • contribs).
I never heard of this person in my life. Aren't there better things for Wkipedia to be doing?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CF99:2080:F5:4D3E:1B06:A6B9 (talk) 01:36, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'll review this soon. I saw him play a few years ago. FunkMonk (talk) 18:56, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
I think the author information on the infobox picture seems suspicious. You have one person listed as a photographer, but the username of the uploader is another given name.
 Done Replaced image --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
What's his mom's name, and what did she do? Seems like pretty standard info for a bio.
 Not done I found that sources mention nothing specific about his mother --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
Why is Phonography and other albums listed under compilations? According to what? Could be good to put a source somewhere.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Those are all officially released compilations, which is why they are listed under "compilations". Whereas the "official studio albums" consist of new material recorded specially for a label. --Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
But in what way is Phonography (album) a compilation? It's article says no such thing. So what is this label based on? FunkMonk (talk) 01:36, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Phonography did not consist of new material recorded specially for a label. It was a mixtape created by Harry Palmer and pressed to vinyl. All of Moore's compilations are curated in that way.
Phonography is actually a compilation. It’s my first vinyl record, but it’s really a compilation of songs that were on my reels, five six or seven different reels, all pulled together by Uncle Harry.
Source --Ilovetopaint (talk) 18:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
That's kind of interesting, worth noting in the article then. FunkMonk (talk) 18:59, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 Done although I thought this was already clarified under "Discography".--Ilovetopaint (talk) 04:30, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Oh, I meant the information that is alluded to in the quote. FunkMonk (talk) 04:52, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
Seems this is the last remaining issue. FunkMonk (talk) 14:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you're asking for the entire quote to be included - I thought I had added the relevant info two weeks ago --Ilovetopaint (talk) 13:39, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
No, I mean the fact that his first album was compiled by his uncle. It is interesting to note, since it seems his uncle pushed him into getting anywhere. FunkMonk (talk) 16:10, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
It's there --Ilovetopaint (talk) 23:20, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Alright, you didn't announce here that you had made the change, tough. FunkMonk (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
"He continued to produce music and play gigs" It's always good to name the subject at the beginning of a new section.
 Done--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
It would be normal practice to stay somewhere if he has a spouse or kids.
 Not done Would have added those details if I came across them in the sources.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
No word on music videos? Or at least that there seem to be promo-videos of some sort from the Uncle Floyd Show.
I'm not sure he's ever had a real music video, just home movies and public-access television appearances.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
No sources go into those?FunkMonk (talk) 01:46, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
No, and I've never stumbled upon any on YouTube.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 18:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
"'60s-inspired power pop in the XTC vein," The intro should not have unique info.
"which contain many of his most popular songs." Likewise.
"who frequently praised Moore as his "mentor" Likewise.
 Done all above--Ilovetopaint (talk) 00:53, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
This looks good to me now, so will pass it. FunkMonk (talk) 23:24, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
