Sherwin Sleeves! 2014-08-07 07:06:05 Reply

Hi, all. As a couple of you might know, I'm a huge fan of the radio talk show "The Ron and Fez Show" (noon to tree, siriusxm rawdog channel 99), and pretty much everything that it spawns. But this guy, he's fuckin' special. In fact, Sean Hurley, AKA Sherwin Sleeves, may be the most strangely charming musical artist I have ever heard. The most relatable thing I could compare him to is if Colonel Kurtz was rehabilitated (mostly) and started making music in his older years that was heartwrenching, heartwarming, mindblowing, quirky, and incredible, all at once. A really good starter song is the song "Tourniquets and Windmills" from the album of the same title, in fact, that's a good starter album. None of his stuff passes the $10 mark in price, and usually include a lot of content. His shortest album is his "Christmas Skater Single", which is a single 45 minute track, but in terms of an actual album, his "Music for Sleep" album only has 10 songs, compared to his biggest album (at the same price of $10) "Poor Man's Lullaby" at 37 tracks. Some of his songs are only a couple seconds, but most of his stuff is really great. Particular props goes to his collab album with Roy Harter, "Oddy Clone", particularly the songs "Preying on the Predators" and "The Man Who Mistook A Tree For A Bird.

Here's a "live" version of Tourniquets and Windmills

He reminds me of Leonard Cohen.

I thought this thread was going to be about a Sherlock Holmes parody.
