Hey folks. Should you buy my comedy album "Nine Sweaters" for everyone on your list this year? Well Jesse Thorn, the host of NPR's "The Sound of Young America" thinks so. Look at this lovely write-up from his 2008 Gift Guide:

Daly is best known as a former castmember of the mediocre FOX sketch series Mad TV, but that credit barely hints at his remarkable talent. This CD collects nine of Daly's character monologues, which blend grandpas-and-apple-pies optimism with bizarre and distressing depravities. Daly's sunny disposition and general geniality carry the listener through characters like Patty O'Herlihy, champion of the 2008 Limerick, Ireland Blarney Contest. With a wink and a charming Irish brogue, O'Herlihy tells us all about the delightful blarney he's spread this year -- to cover for increasingly sad and horrific acts of violence. Listening to this CD was the funniest 90 minutes of my year. Available from iTunes, Amazon MP3, or on CD from http://store.aspecialthing.com

I wish you a wonderful holiday season full of bizarre and distressing depravities!

- Your pal, Andrew Daly
