Here's your Sleeves thread, Ronnie.

[helterskeletor]

I can almost deal with Ant's militant negro-hating more than this shit about Sleeves. Basically Ant hated Sleeve's xmas song, probably because it's emotionally and intellectually pretty heavy, two things Ant can't stand.

Sleeve's xmas song is an instant classic. The first time I heard it I had goosebumps. It's worthy of Tom Waits himself. The song could be on a Waits album and it would blend in perfectly. It's a Christmas song for adults.

More than anything else, the song describes pretty perfectly how I feel when I briefly get those child-like happy feelings remembering how I used to feel during Christmases when I was a kid.

Life can't all be about the smelliest vagina or seeing boobies in traffic.

WHy it isn't the Opie and Helterskeletor Show, I'll never know.

:) thanks old buddy

[Caseyelan]

I thought the sleeves song was brilliant.

My pops even requested I send it to him immediately.

The man is brilliant in my eyes.

[reillyluck]

Jim Norton and Anthony are assholes.

Sleeves is awesome. His Christmas song is awesome and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

[S.D.B.P.]

it's the first song that I feel could represent what people who really aren't into the holiday feel.

The bittersweet magic of the winter, and everywhere you go you are surrounded by the la la la la of the celebrating.

[Caseyelan]

Cool people post @ 5:41.

[Mullenax]

Sleeves is his own musician, can we all stop comparing him to Tom Waits?
And yes, he is amazing. Sleeves I mean.

[west milly Tom]

The song rocks. Ant really pissed me off today, and I'm an Ant fan since day one. Grow up dood.

anthony is a millionaire who went out and bought a mustang.

and here we are debating his tastes in music.

LOL isn't enough.

Sleeves is absolutely brilliant. Here's some support Buddy, there are a lot of people who love and appreciate your work.

anthony pays for unnecessary alimony lalalalalala

I envy any man that gets to live in the woods and write music.

Three cheers for Sleeves!

I have Anthony's address if you'd like to report him to the IRS:thumbup: Otherwise - deliciious chocolate-covered potato chip goodness from North Dakota is coming your way JUST in time for the holiday season! (TRY to share them this time!:innocent:)

Peace!

[danner1515]

I love the song, as I do pretty much everything by Sleeves. I would be more upset about Anthony and Jimmy's criticism if I had any respect for their taste in music.

[TjM]

Anthony, too.:huh:

[helterskeletor]

Sleeves is his own musician, can we all stop comparing him to Tom Waits?
And yes, he is amazing. Sleeves I mean.

Yeah definitely. I was just trying to rank it somehow and put it in context for people who haven't heard it. He has a similar sound to Waits. Piano, deep voice, very complex arrangements and production that sounds warm. Emotional. And it really is music for adults. You have to reach a certain level of experience to really identify with it I think, but I can't speak for people younger than me.

Every Sleeves Christmas song for the past three years has been insanely good. "It Takes a Rube" is one of the things I use to introduce initiates to Ron and Fez. That over-tipping bit coupled with the song is my new RF propaganda. Sort of saying, "look, talk radio can be funny and smart."

Anyway, RF fans are lucky as shit to have you Sleeves.

Not trying to shit all over O&A. They're entertaining too. But that shit today was ridiculous. I just caught it on the replay and couldn't believe my ears.

[foodcourtdruide]

I love the song, as I do pretty much everything by Sleeves. I would be more upset about Anthony and Jimmy's criticism if I had any respect for their taste in music.

I agree. They both have pretty awful music taste.

[SinA]

Anthony is a funny dude, but he's a philistine. He's bashed some great musicians/bands before, one that comes to mind is the Frames, because they don't rock in the first measure. That don't (necessarily) make him a bad person. He just doesn't like songs that don't rock, or movies that don't have explosions, or TV shows that... well TV pretty much sucks. He's a bud-light guy with a champagne bank balance, he's white-trash-rich...

He pretty much said it himself today: he likes "hits." If it doesn't sound like late-90s radio metal, it sucks.

[FezsAssistant]

Everyone has an opinion. It's about personal taste.
I don't agree with hardly any of O&A or R&F's musical tastes or opinions, but that don't make them bad people. I still enjoy both shows.

[Mullenax]

Not trying to shit all over O&A. They're entertaining too. But that shit today was ridiculous. I just caught it on the replay and couldn't believe my ears.
I heard it live and on the replay (commuting blows sometimes) and it really was unbelievable. At least Opie tried it out. I can't get enough of it.

[KnoxHarrington]

What annoyed me about Anthony's rants about the song today was that I pretty much figured that he trashed it because he decided it's not the kind of song it's "cool" for him to like. That is, it's not really anything about the song itself, but an expression of some persona Anthony's trapped in.

I loved Ronnie's sarcastic declarations of how he "didn't get" the song. He tore Anthony a new one without mentioning him by name at all.

It's a brilliant song, and I'll proudly pay up for it, as we all should. Well done, Mr. Sleeves.

I heard some of what Ronnie said today, but I hadn't heard O&A yet. Now I need to listen to today's RF again.

The thing that makes this beyond "hey it's just an opinion" is that Ant so thoroughly trashed someone who's linked real closely to the 202 universe. It would be like Ronnie trashing some U2 cover song Joe was doing and hurting his pocketbook. That sort of thing has an effect. Less people will go to the show or buy the song simply because one of the hosts trashed it. I can see getting in some light digs, but Ant couldn't keep himself from constantly bashing it.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

Does anyone have the audio of this trashing? It doesn't surprise me that Sleeves didn't mesh with O&A show and I was surprised to hear Opie was interested in the first place. I don't mean that as a slight towards Sleeves at all since I've listened to his music a hell of a lot more than O&A over the past year.

[Hottub]

The time has come. Anthony must don the black Stalwart's suit, lurk in the shadows and see what his existence has become.

[ibanez23]

The song is briliant,who cares what Anthony thinks.

[~Katja~]

don't worry about Anthony and his opinion... if they even had 3 callers agreeing with him...the fact is that the song was played on fm and xm multiple times and Opie even plugged the pay link and the R&F show.

I've said it in the listening thread already, there is no bad publicity!

Love the song and love the Sleeves!

[Lady Resin]

ALL of Sleeves songs Rock The Fat Ass!!

What kind of retards buy music according to O&A and R&F's recommendations? Everyone on both shows has terrible taste in music in my opinion. I would never let a host on 202 influence my purchasing habits. Jesus christ.
The R&F show listened to the new Bond song and Dave liked it. Then Ron told him it sucked (I guess b/c it didn't sound like melodramatic Lou Reed). ESD then acted sad like he's not allowed to like it. People need to grow the fuck up and have some confidence in themselves and their tastes.
I like the music of Sleeves. I'm not going to second guess myself b/c of any 202 host.

[DiabloSammich]

anthony pays for unnecessary alimony lalalalalala



he's not just the president, he's also a client, lalalalalala




Anthony should be drug halfway up Market Mountain behind a Ford Galaxy Starliner, and then be verbally and physically abused by Maxwell Fox.

That'll teach him. Or maybe it won't. Who can tell.

[happytypinggirl]

i didnt get to hear O&A or R&F today, but i just want to post some big love for sleeves. I truly love the christmas song, and all of what he does-- songs stories, everything. He's a unique original in a world full of shitty crowd pleasing copies, and I give much respect to anyone who contributes to the show so postively and frequently and with so much talent. la la la la is already in my itunes playlist of favorite xmas songs...which means out of the 250 of the greatest christmas songs of all time songs i have, he made top 45. Not bad when you're up against phil spector, andy williams, perry como, dean martin, nat king cole, sinatra, crosby, burl ives, etc. etc.

LOVE YOU SLEEVES!!

[thegreenninja]

I did not listen to todays O&A, but I cannot see how Ant and Jimmy would shit on Sherwins song. I really enjoy Sherwin's stuff. As if "Gonna lectric shock OJ" was brilliant. Keep up the good work, Sleeves. I look forward to it.

[Don Stugots]

[sticksnstones]

I have lurked since NEW and I feel the need to give Sleeves some support.
Mr Cumia is allowed to have an opinion and be wrong.There is very little new thought and original style in this world and Sleeves songs are always catchy and primal.It works for me and thats all I need.

Ps east side dave for life

[BigReggie]

Sleeves is the shit fa la la

everybody can have their opinions, and Anthony did compliment Sleeves on Mighty Horse, so he didnt really shit on the guy, plus he got a ton of new airplay.

[paulisded]

I love the song, as I do pretty much everything by Sleeves. I would be more upset about Anthony and Jimmy's criticism if I had any respect for their taste in music.

This is completely correct. If a song wasn't in heavy rotation on a bad rock station in the 90's, Ant has no knowledge.

[Dell]

Great Christmas song Sleeves... not the cookie cutter format that some people look for... but I liked it a lot :clap:

[lleeder]

There's only one solution. A song battle between ant and sleeves.

Good thing I don't let two guys with a combined age of 97 who think Godsmack and Disturbed are good bands dictate my taste in music. Sleeves is fucking magic. Ant broke into radio making OJ parody songs. The end.

I love the song, as I do pretty much everything by Sleeves. I would be more upset about Anthony and Jimmy's criticism if I had any respect for their taste in music.
X2. You said it perfectly.

I turned on the radio midway through the song and then heard Ant trashing it. I didn't know I was S.S.. I enjoyed what I heard.
Then again, I like the new GnR.

i have more, actually, on CD but i only put the songs i like onto my itunes. and then i made a playliste of my superduperfavorites, and there are about 45 to 50 songs on there.

I was shocked at how much Ant hated the song. He completely missed it. Jimmy too, which is even more surprising. Ant's statement that the LALALALA's were just lazy fill-ins was shocking. I love that Opie is a big Sleeves fan. It was a shame that Ant decided to trash him so vehemently on a national radio show. I think the guy is an absolute genius and I find all of his work very entertaining. He should be heard around the world... But that's just my opinion.

[EddieMoscone]

Um, if someone made a good enough argument for it, I'd take a stranger's music recommendation, never mind the recommendation of hosts of a show I listen to on a daily basis. Do you listen to EVERY album that comes out and decide on your own if it's good or not? More likely you've heard the band before, read about it or had someone recommend it to you.

[Bob Impact]

I'm listening to the segment now, and three things:

1) As far as Sleeves being "strange," he isn't. I've met him, he's sweet, very introspective and increadibly modest.
2) I love the fact that dummy insulted Sleeve's characters looks.
3) I've been on the bubble for with O & A for a long time but this is it for me.

[reillyluck]

3) I've been on the bubble for with O & A for a long time but this is it for me.

Agreed!!!

I really hate to bash O&A, well more of the A this time anyway. Anthony is not the anthony he used to be. he seriously doesnt relate to regular people anymore.

a part of me wants to believe that Anthony is doing a "bit" raggin on sleeves, but i dont know, i think he's just being a fucking HOLIDAYYYYY DIVAAAAAA.

I now put my dedication behind sleeves. Fuck you Anthony. Fuck you in your snobby ass.

In another life I will ask you to marry me.

[BlackSpider]

Didn't hear the show today, but I guess Ant didn't like Sleeve's song.
I don't know why anybody is surprised at this.
Nobody on that show knows anything about music.
I actually get mad whenever they bring up the subject.
For guys that work in radio they are ALL musically retarded...

[reillyluck]

he'll never read my post but if he did his response would be:

goooooooooo screwwwwwwwwwwwwww


Good one, Anthony.

[scottinnj]

WHy it isn't the Opie and Helterskeletor Show, I'll never know.

:) thanks old buddy

Yo Sleeves, I just got home from work. I heard Ant ranting in the last ten minutes of the FM portion of the show about your song, which really pissed me off. But I was horrified during the replay that I caught later in the afternoon that some douche did an instant feedback saying "Sleeves can fall into a lalalala lake" and it was said that it was Scott from Jersey, which instantly made me cringe, because not only do I LOVE the song, I downloaded it and put it on my iPod and sent a copy to my sister. I haven't heard such a melancholy Christmas tune since Sting did "Gabriel's Message" back in the mid-80s on that Christmas CD that had RUN-DMC's "Christmas in Hollis"

I love the song. Whoever the douche was that sent in the instant feedback WAS NOT ME! Sleeves, your song hit me real hard. I love playing it in Maple Shade on Main Street, and I just look around and feel just like the dude in the song. In fact, I'm gonna have a beer as soon as I post this.

Thanks again Sleeves, and I hope this clears things up.

I disagree that everyone on both shows has bad taste in music. Ron has introduced me to some great artists over the years. Opie, Dave and Earl have opened my eyes to some great bands as well... And Fez has, of course, shown me the genius that is Tom Petty.

We need to mobilize and make sure O&A never EVER do this again!

I think they also made fun of some wine thing as well. I think one time on R&F, someone mentioned liking some sort of wine. We don't have to stand by and let this happen, folks!!!

And I can point to the show that finally got me addicted to R&F-the one where they were discussing the best albums rock artists made. You know the ones, like Quadrophenia, Ghost in the Machine and such, where you can listen to the whole album in one sitting, and not a bad track on the LP.

That was a great day in radio. And R&F has been my favorite show since.

[FezsAssistant]

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

The other day I heard Ron saying some not-so-nice things about Earl on the air. You know Earl - he's the producer of the R&F show! I think we need to band together and let Ron know that we will NOT stand by and let him insult someone associated with the show. It's just NOT acceptable.

I also heard ESD yelling at Franklyn and that was just NOT nice at all! How MEAN can someone be? I mean c'mon! Franklyn is a friend of the show and shouldn't have to be subject to attacks!

[scottinnj]

it's the first song that I feel could represent what people who really aren't into the holiday feel.

HEY ANT, YOU DUMB SHIT! THE SONG SUMMED UP IN ONE SENTENCE!

[FezsAssistant]

Um, if someone made a good enough argument for it, I'd take a stranger's music recommendation, never mind the recommendation of hosts of a show I listen to on a daily basis. Do you listen to EVERY album that comes out and decide on your own if it's good or not? More likely you've heard the band before, read about it or had someone recommend it to you.

I certainly don't let comedy radio hosts convince me that something I like is bad b/c they don't like it.

I'm always open to checking out something that is recommended. BUT I'll listen to it for myself and make my own decision. I'm not going to sit around forcing myself to listen to the Stones all day b/c a 202 host said they were cool. I think for myself.

[docgoblin]

I now put my dedication behind sleeves. Fuck you Anthony. Fuck you in your snobby ass.

Sadly, I agree with your instinct that it's not a bit. I believe, like you, that he's an Anti-Holiday guy that has really lost touch with the regular folks. He likes to act like he's just an average Joe while he hangs out on Paltalk, plays with his guns and pops in on some of the Saturday night shows, but he's really turning into a recluse as he builds his Howard Hughes-like mansion around him. He's becoming completely anti-social. I hope he stays on the air for a very long time because he's a very funny guy and he helps me get through the day, but he's becoming thoroughly out of touch.

His opinion of Sleeves' music is baseless. It's just a shame he had to trash the song to a national audience... And it's not the same as fucking with Sam's dad and Earl. Sleeves is an artist outside of the show, trying to make his mark. Earl and Sam's dad are probably pretty set in their lives.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I hate to say it, I'm really starting to lean hard into the anti O&A camp. I've been listening less and less. Anthony has become everything he's railed against in Howard, because he's talking about all the shit he buys. Opie NEVER talks about his wealth outside of his new apartment.

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!
The O&A show made fun of Sam's father's looks today! Sam is a friend of the R&F show and we shouldn't put up with this!
We need to mobilize and make sure O&A never EVER do this again!

Well, that was completely warranted.

I didn't listen to The Band until I started listening to R&F. Really good stuff, don't know how I missed it.

I never listened to Van Morrison until R&F introduced me to some of the non-radio stuff. I became a huge fan after I heard "Cleaning Windows" on the show. I wasn't a big John Mayer fan until he popped in and they talked about the John Mayer Trio album. I bought the album right after the interview and became a big fan. Despite the fact Mayer seems to want to be a magazine cover subject he really is a great guitarist. I would never had known that if not for his appearance on the show.

Cool people post @ 5:41.

Hahaha you posted that at 5.42..

I still think you're cool at the la la la la.

[jetdog]

Sleeves' song has heart.

Something that Anthony can't deal with, as his cardiologist can attest.

christ, what has the world come to when I'm ROFLFKSSNFDIDJFNVMSXFJ tenbats post!?!?!

[realmenhatelife]

This whole thing has made me steadily more angry, and I'm glad it's not just me. I really hate christmas music, and sleeves song is too fucking good. Seriously anyone who isn't into is probably an out of touch, sidewalk driving asshole.

[underdog]

In another life I will ask you to marry me.

Make sure you're wearing an undershirt.

[elitemrp]

Been lurking since late 2005/early 2006 but wanted to create an account today just to say that I really enjoyed the song (and I hate christmas and the songs that go along with it).

I just ordered Peas Hode! finally (not sure what took me so long), I can't wait for the next CD.

Sleeves, you rule!

[ShowerBench]

An Asian and a blonde, falalalala

The song is inspired. Anthony lacks a soul.

Oooo, you're one to push the punches, eh?


Nice.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Oooo, you're one to push the punches, eh?


Nice.

It's funny how twisted the O&A universe is.


When you look at them as normal, actual human beings, the most well-adjusted of the entire bunch making more than 15 bucks an hour is fuckin' VOS, followed by Opie.

Breaking it down, you've got -

Patrice, the misogynist racist

Anthony, also racist and unwilling to deal with kids.

(speaking of which, who the FUCK thought it was a good idea to have Anthony voice a spot for a Children's hospital charity on K-Rock? I heard this and couldn't believe the insincerity)

Louis CK is out of his mind (and not funny)

list goes on...

[underdog]

Louis CK is out of his mind (and not funny)

I always thought you didn't quite understand humor, but this just proves it.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I always thought you didn't quite understand humor, but this just proves it.

yes, because him giving me graphic details of cleaning out his daughter's privates and his disastrous marriage is funny, funny stuff.

Sorry, I like most O&A comedians. CK is awful.

[ToiletCrusher]

Sleeve's amount of talent is equal to the amount of hair Anthony had replaced.

That is a lot. Sleeves - you are quite amazing! Ant - you are an old tired man.

I thought the sleeves song was brilliant.
The man is brilliant in my eyes.

That may hold some weight if you didnt feel the same way about the guy who eats shit for attention.:thumbdown:

[Don Stugots]

anthony is lucky la la la
thank you opie la la la
jimmy drinks pee la la la

[sticksnstones]

Agreed!!!

I really hate to bash O&A, well more of the A this time anyway. Anthony is not the anthony he used to be. he seriously doesnt relate to regular people anymore.

a part of me wants to believe that Anthony is doing a "bit" raggin on sleeves, but i dont know, i think he's just being a fucking HOLIDAYYYYY DIVAAAAAA.

I now put my dedication behind sleeves. Fuck you Anthony. Fuck you in your snobby ass.

You are in my head. Ant was the loveable regular guy & a perfect foil to hoohoo .These days Opie has evolved from the destroyer to the regular guy & Ant is slowly transforming into a Howard clone.

[JakeBuffalo]

The La La La song is very much like "ENDS" by Everlast - you gotta listen past the intro to the meat of the song.

And the Voice is "Fuck It" from the Dave Chapelle Show * a muppet like skit

Someone's just jealous, that's all. Pay him no mind.

[EffMeBoobs]

I didn't hear the Sleeve's bashing but all I have to say is Sleeve's is a top notch gentleman with top notch music. La la la la la is such a festive song and puts me in the spirit. His music is so unique and I always find myself listening to his CD.

[spainlinx0]

Why do you people take it so personally that he trashed his song? God forbid we have different opinions in this world. I like the song, but that doesn't mean everyone has to. It doesn't make you a better person because you "get" the song. Anthony didn't get the song. It's not his thing. So fucking what. They gave Sleeves national exposure on their show. How many of you Sleeves fanatics have gone and spent your money on the CD?

Your musical tastes don't make you "better" than anyone. It's pretty damn elitist and snobby that people have to trash Anthony for liking TOP-40 rock radio. That's his prerogative. Not everyone makes music their number one priority in life where they have to "dig in the crates" and find the most obscure music possible so they can have an air of superiority around other people. Here's a little picture for you people.

http://www.boingboing.net/images/musicvenndiag.jpg

Get the fuck over yourselves. There is plenty of valid reasons to bash Anthony lately. The fact that he didn't like a Sleeves song isn't one of them. Besides Opie didn't "get" the song either which is why he couldn't explain it to Anthony and a caller had to go and explain it to him. Opie only liked it superficially, but I don't hear you people ripping him for not "getting" it.

[Tim McD]

does sleeves have a website? I'm having the worst time finding links to download any of these songs, especially the lalalala

What do you mean, "you people"??<p>
We're all individuals here, with different opinions (even in this single thread), just like you stated when you defend Anthony's opinion (which I could give a fuck about, really).

[CofyCrakCocaine]

WHY?!?!?!? STOP IIIIIT!!!

Simply put, we are coming to the defense of one of our own, and so like good friends, we want to see him succeed and smash whoever smashes him. Ever had a friend you felt like protecting when some guy messed with 'em? Obviously not, considering your post.

And yeah I know. Sleeves needs no defending, and he's not identical to us, but this community doesn't give a shit about that- it just gives a shit about shit-talking and returning it in kind.

I'm fuckin' starvin. We got any pie charts out back?

1) Theres a difference between not liking something and outright trashing it, theres a difference between disliking a style or a song and attacking someone who didn't deserve it.
2) For someone who insults musical snobbery thats a snobby picture.
3) This is, for me at least MUCH more about how Anthony and Jimmy have made listening to that show less fun for me, I think for many people (at least with Ant) this is just the manifestation of what they've thought about him for a long time.
4) The Band, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, The Velvet Underground, these are the types of bands (and probablly THE bands/artists) I hear brought up fairly often around here, people are digging for these artists?

[jclassic]

I only like half of Sleeves songs and I think I wanted to hate the "la la la la" part but the song overall was just too catchy. I think I was against it on first hearing for about a minute then I stopped resisting.
