If you're reading this, you're obviously here. And if you're here, you're hearing the music. And if you're hearing the music, why in shit's name do I need to tell you what it sounds like? Unless, of course, you don't have PC speakers, in which case I apologize for my brash tone, and I strongly urge you to take the plunge into the incredible world of sound-enhanced web-browsing.
For those of you who are deaf and/or without the aid of sonic instruments of amplification, The Stan Laurels sound like the scientifically-engineered combination of everything you've ever heard before and nothing you've ever heard.
For over one hundred years, there have been countless reports of sightings, usually in rural areas. But no one has yet definitively proven the existence of The Stan Laurels. The only physical evidence we have are these primitive recordings of audible sonic waves known as "songs," also referred to as "music."
Calling all friends, fans, un-fans, yetis, Mormon lawn maintenance workers, Amish bikers, weirdoes who get turned on by odd things like spatulas and ring-tailed lemurs, collectors of antique thimbles, fraudulent hotline psychics, people who ironically love music but hate musicals, robots, etc.:
The music of The Stan Laurels is now officially available for purchase in a handy, portable 2-song single! Go to iTunes or click on the blue cover above.
If you do purchase one or both of the songs, please send me an e-mail and let me know, so I can keep track of all three of you.

The Stan Laurels now sell cotton-based comfort-inducing torso wraps known as "tee shirts," just in case you suddenly find your upper body nude. Click here to clothe yourself and shamelessly advertise:
