“The Game Is A Three-Minute Track”
Obsessive, hyper-rational, and prone to manic highs followed by deep boredom-induced lows. Canonically plays the violin — badly, at odd hours, often while thinking through a case, much to Watson's quiet despair.
Editor's note Upon hearing this playlist, Holmes is presumed to have identified the producer's regional accent, two prior relationships, and a slight limp from the mixing alone, before grudgingly admitting Seven Nation Army 'has structural merit.'
The seven
- 01Clint Eastwood — Gorillaz (2001)The detached, cerebral menace of this track matches his deductive process exactly — calm surface, relentless machinery underneath.
- 02Time — Hans Zimmer (2010)Building, methodical, and quietly explosive — precisely how he constructs a deduction from a single muddy bootprint.
- 03Breathe — Pink Floyd (1973)For the documented periods of crushing boredom between cases, when only cocaine and violin could fill the silence.
- 04Mr. Brightside — The Killers (2003)His relationship with Irene Adler — the only person who ever truly outwitted him — runs on exactly this kind of obsessive energy.
- 05Seven Nation Army — The White Stripes (2003)The bassline alone sounds like a chase across London rooftops. He'd play this loudly and badly on the violin.
- 06Paranoid Android — Radiohead (1997)Fractured, brilliant, and slightly unstable — a fairly accurate character study delivered in six and a half minutes.
- 07I'm Too Sexy — Right Said Fred (1991)Watson once described him as supremely, infuriatingly self-aware of his own brilliance. He would deny enjoying this while playing it three times in a row.
