Russ Stedman - "Stop Playing Music" (C-60, 1992)
RUSS STEDMAN - "STOP PLAYING MUSIC" : (BABY SUE MUSIC REVIEW, #14 FALL 1993) - Hmmm...cross Ween with The Residents and you might get an idea what Russ Stedman sounds like. This is, literally, home-taped madness by a really quirky and inventive individual. Mr. Stedman's music is both goofy and intelligent, a rare blend indeed. The title of the tape is great...I wish a lot of people WOULD stop playing music, but NOT Russ Stedman. This is wildly inventive and fun. And yet ANOTHER example of the value of 'home-tapers'. A sonic dream you WON'T FIND at your local music shop ! Best Tracks : "Action Potato", "Stop Playing Music", "My Baby's World". (Don W. Seven)
