Album Description:
         "Stuck On The Rollerslide", formerly known as "The Light" during its original 2001 release, is the follow-up album to Radio F's other 2001 release "On", now known as "No More Lonely Nights". Like the first album, this one was also compiled entirely using MTV Music Generator software and sold for $5 through an older version of RFSHQ.

         The online release of "Stuck On The Rollerslide" contains 9 tracks; on the original release there was one track split into two. This track has been combined into its original form.

Creator Comments:
Album Names-
         This album's original title, "The Light", was just a simple track-inspired title and had no meaning to it. It's 2008 re-release name "Stuck On The Rollerslide" (complete with matching cover art) has a backstory behind it however. When I was rather young I went on a trip to the now defunct Discovery Zone which had, among other things, a rollerslide - a slide made entirely out of small metal rollers, similar to what you see luggage flying around on at an airport.

         The place was massive and I spent a solid 15 minutes trying to find the damn thing, and when I did my jacket got stuck in one of the rollers half way down. I ended up chilling out on that rollerslide for a while until someone else came down and knocked me free (ripping that jacket in the process).

Album Cover-
         The cover is an exaggeration of the literal title of the CD and its backstory. I'm fairly certain the rollerslide didn't have a bunch of tracks to it and go all over the place like that. I just needed a lot of dots to fit all the letters in it. Plus I stole that walking man from a Cross/Don't Cross road sign.
