Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.R. Stevie Moore is probably the world’s most prolific unknown singer-songwriter, his colossal output representing a victory for creativity over indifference.
A sort of bedroom Brian Wilson, for 40 years RSM has crafted complex and elegant pop in a vast array of styles, playing everything himself and releasing the results on an estimated 400 albums, of which 1986’s Glad Music is the most accessible.
It’s the source of several tracks, including the cute but complex “Why Should I Love You?” and the psychedelic doowop prog-pop masterpiece “Don’t Let Me Go To The Dogs”.
The serpentine melodies and falsetto vocals betray the influence not just of Wilson but also Zappa, whose comedic cynicism informs Moore’s own fiercely independent attitude.
