Best. Concert. Ever.
If you are of a geeky temperament, you probably already know about Jonathan Coulton. If you’re of a geeky temperament and you don’t know Jonathan Coulton, you’ll want to pay attention to this post (it’ll make me feel better if people from the first group pay attention, too.)
Jonathan Coulton is best known for his ironically geeky songs that have become emblematic of geek and nerd culture. He’s played live at PAX and his beloved song “Still Alive” first appeared during the end credits to the video game portal. If none of that made any sense to you, don’t worry; you don’t need to be a card-carrying member of the geek crowd to appreciate Coulton’s style. His music has a rather folksy feel to it, but his lyrics are decidedly sharp and witty and tend to focus on computers and technology rather than the traditional country themes you might be used to.
