Jonathan Coulton

[Mike!]

Any fans of this guy around here?

For those of you that don't know him his an indie/folk rock singer from NYC. And, the guy is just a genius. He writes all of his own lyrics and plays a variety of instruments. His music is beautiful and his lyrics range from funny to serious to sad. But, no matter the song... they're all just so enjoyable to listen to. He's got a rare gift. For anyone interested, take a look at his MySpace (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=30789697&MyToken=e8b434e7-ee67-40a3-bd65-61ec447ab267) (best place to listen to some of his full-length songs) and listen to "Code Monkey" or "Skullcrusher Mountain". Or go to his home page (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/store/downloads) and you'll have access to all his songs.

Jonathan Coulton is amazing. He has both hilarious and really good songs. I fell in love with "Skull Crusher Mountain" instantly, but "Re: Your Brains" was the first one I heard. He also does a great cover of "I Will" by the Beatles.

Wait, didn't he cover I'm Still Alive off of the Orange Box soundtrack? I thought I saw his name in relation to it somehow

[Kid_A]

Hey did. it's in a game called "Portal" I guess.

[The Crowing]

Yup, found that out right after I posted. Portal is awesome, and I liked that guys voice.
