About Me

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."

Sounds Like: 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.
