I can’t believe they want you to pay for Wi-Fi at the frigging’ airport! Bah Humbug! Isn’t it bad enough that they pump this sh#*ty Muzak?!

So, I forced Holly to go with me to see/hear the musical stylings of Mr. Jonathan Coulton at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. For those of you unfamiliar with the JoCo, he created a lot of excitement about his work with a year-long blog called “Thing a Week,” where he posted a newly crafted song every week. He’s a bit of a geek, so if you think you might like a song called, “Code Monkey,” give him a listen.
Anywho, the concert was great, with an opening band (Paul and Storm) who had a song called “Opening Band.” Rock on! I highly recommend checking out the JonathanCoulton.com. Here are a few more songs that I love:
- Re: Your Brains (As if a zombie movie were a song, written as a inner-office memo)
- First of May (NSFW! A great little ditty about outdoor lovemaking. Again, Not Safe For Work!)
- Skullcrusher Mountain (”I’m so into you … but I’m way too smart for you”)
- Ikea (Yep, it’s about self-assembled furniture)
- Baby Got Back (acoustic cover version of the Sir-Mix-A-Lot classic)
For those of you who missed it, here’s a pic taken by Mr. JoCo himself.
