The B today stands not for "Beyonce" but for "birth," and in addition to it being international Labor Day and May Day in the former Soviet States, May 1 also marks the start of another season, well illustrated here by Jonathan Coulton.Other notable May 1 babies:* Ray Parker Jr* John Woo * Wes AndersonIt is also the day the cans of pineapple (and the protagonist's love) expire in my favorite mov...

A couple weeks ago, I got to see a favorite singer of mine, Jonathan Coulton. Coulton is one of the leading singers in the small geek-folk/rock field. Like nerdcore music, this isn't any different than the overall genre, but he sings with a number of themes that fall within geek/nerd fandom. His concert, opened by Paul and Storm (who were in and of themselves quite funny), was a fun and highly ...

I've recently gotten in Jonathan Coulton's music and I must say that I have become a fan. My journy to Jonathan's music was a culmination of the fact that I have gotten pretty tired of most "serious" music with lyrics.

Here's a sample of one of the artists mentioned in the list above. Funny and soul-achingly tuneful. His voice could melt ice. Anyway, he's touring again in the spring. You can catch him at Schubas in Chicago in May, with Paul and Storm opening for him. "Here's his site.":http://www.jonathancoulton.com

Following my last post up in quick succession (though not as quickly as some of y'all do... got dang!), here's another one of my favorite covers and while I looked it up and a video version has been posted (see the respective artist's page), an mp3 version has not.It's yet another famous song ingrained into the consciousness of American music... and that tune is Sir Mix-a-Lot's 1992 ode to the ...
