Chantilly Lace



"I’m the fantasy granddaddy of cheap underground desperation, whack-genius following my forever spontaneous, expressly homemade muse through all styles of music, drawing and film Dada — taking pride in never getting stuck in any ignorance ruts or tedious sameness, which is certainly modern society’s norm. And little me, trying to promote that eclectic philosophy in today’s severe target market tunnel-vision is absolutely fruitless, to say the least.

I’m all about diversity. Freeform radio show. The Beatles White Album. One artist who can and does sound like a V/A compilation album. And there exists nobody out there who successfully accomplishes this. Because the populace lacks imagination, open-mindedness and making effort to accommodate short attention spans. Little bit of everything, all the time. All extremes."

R Stevie Moore is an amazing musician and would be classed as an eccentric in the UK, here is one of his more accessable tracks, a punky version of the old Big Bopper number "Chantilly Lace" complete with telephone intro. Check him out, his web site appears to be down tonight but it is one to lose yourself in for a few hours and once you actually get the buzz of his music you will be hooked for life.
