"As the homage to A Hard Day's Night on its cover makes clear, 1986's Glad Music is R. Stevie Moore's attempt at making a straightforward pop album, or at least as close to straightforward as this Nashville-born, New Jersey-based quirk pop innovator is capable of getting. And on its own idiosyncratic terms, Glad Music succeeds brilliantly. After nearly two decades of compiling lo-fi four-track bedroom recordings for his self-released cassettes, Glad Music is the first album Moore recorded in a proper studio."

"Frank Balesteri, aka The Vanilla Bean, was born February 2, 1960 and passed away on November 3rd, 2001. Frank was one of the greatest radio talents ever to grace WFMU's airwaves. His improvised comedy and spontaneous poetic rants delighted listeners and fellow DJs alike from 1981 to 1998. He will be missed but his inspiration will live on."
