Tiny Tim
What the fuck was up with this guy? Stumbled across him a few nights ago on youtube and now can't stop listening to his version of The Beatles Nowhere Man. Its not a good way to be spending my time I know.
Its essentially novelty, and I don't think I could stomach a whole album. But there is something about his voice that is sad and quite lonely actually. He's also pretty weird.
What do you all think?

I used to work with a guy who absolutely LOVED him.
Funnily enough, while watching Adam Buxton's Bug the other day I stumbled upon across a really great animated video for Livin' In The Sunlight, Lovin' In The Moonlight which has reignited my interest in him. His voice is joyously demented, and when you actually see the guy for the first time it introduces a lingering creepiness into the whole listening experience. Would be interested to check out a whole album!
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWowQub_jVU
Great video.
I reckon there arn't many albums of his knocking about for a decent price though. Perhaps I'l have to start a reissue campaign.
This is a better video
