Recently I heard about this guy after hearing This Song (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=536195286273922552&q=Chrion+Beta+Prime&total=22&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0) at the end of the latest episode of Escape Pod (a sci-Fi podcast). THat song (Chiron Beta Prime) and the song Re: Your Brains (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=446738229720831411&q=Jonathan+Coulton&total=773&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2) have been more or less on loop for me since yesterday. All his stuff is free if you subscribe to his podcast, he does a song-a-week or so, I havn't actually listened to many different songs of his, but what I have heard I tend to like.

Coulton is wonderful. I've been listening to him all year. Got to see him live twice too. And if he wasn't cool enough already, Jonathan Coulton is responsible for the end credit song in Portal.

How could you not have Still Alive?

It's not on his podcast, is it? If it is then my podcast updating has gone nuts.

I love Coulton.

I've been looking for the Thing-a-Week boxset, but no luck ;_;

I'm using the presidents to help me study for my APUS history exam.

I love Coulton. Portal's Still Alive is his best song. Ever.

I'm hoping to find the Orange Box Soundtrack somewhere that features both regular Still Alive, and the Remix Jon did.
For the record though, I've got quite a few songs, including the regular Still Alive, and would build more if I, ya know, had money.

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.

Yes, Coulton is a wonderful musician. I'm off to torrent iTunes some more of his stuff I didn't have titles for before.
