Jonathan Coulton - "Mandelbrot Set" in SF

[JR1840]

awesome, I didn't realize someone already wrote a song about the mandelbrot set. I was planning to write one but I guess I'll just have to learn how to play this one. sweeeet

[TheBaredor]

ROFL take a pic of his boxers!!

[roomwithacatinit]

Too bad he couldn't have worn Fractal boxers.

(I can't remember the store, but yes, I have seen fractal boxers.)

[Soapygold]

@roomwithacatinit SWEET! I now have a quest.

[NovaBossa69]

Amazing!

[fidosma]

Mendelbrot passed away yesterday... snif... great song though!

[notatinklefan]

@fidosma Thanks for posting this. I didn't know, so your comment was the first news I heard of it.

[PurpleShoes8]

@fidosma I feel bad for liking this...

It's meant in a respectful "your comment was well placed" like...

Jesus Christ, this is amazing. JoCo singing about math... The world is perfect at last. ...Sorta.

[IsOk10]

Fffinally! a song about math! thank u God :p!.. ;D

[GrandpaMcGridley]

I think this may be my favorite JoCo song. I'm a philosophy major, but it got me so freakin' interested in what the fuck the Mandelbrot set, and the Cantor Turner Set, and the Sierpinski Gasket are that I've been hounding one of the math professors at Cal to teach me what they are during his office hours. He loves the song too by the by.

[P00cram]

he is the best!

[NetRolller3D]

Is it just me, or does the Mandelbrot set really look like a guitar? :-)

[svphink]

its just you :-)

[ZiggySkyedust]

Boxers are pretty frigging sweet.

I actually like Jonathan Coulton a lot better than Bo Burnham or Tom Lehrer. They're all really sweet, but Coulton is the standard to which I hold all of them.

[drizztdruid]

boxers all the way man

[briebeaz]

I can't believe he showed his undies. Heh.

[uthly1]

I think that the live version flows alot more than the recorded ones. I'ts great how he interacts with the crod and they interact back ^^ His songs rock and so does he, JC forever!

[indorocker88]

this guy is genius. He's the only guy that can make math an awesome song.

[scrubsmusical]

Hard 'n Phirm's Pi song is pretty good.

[indorocker88]

"no steve not pie, pi."

[DoctorExplosion]

Also Bo Burnham. And Tom Lehrer.

[NaziJesus]

First time I heard I understood:

"Here's a song about Meth."

[deadringer13]

Math, not Meth

[lefeal]

meth is good too :P

[deadringer13]

... true but shhhhhhhhhhhh

[CousinoMusic]

I remember when he used to joke with the audience during the refrain "Sing along!" He can't use that joke anymore because everyone already is.

Also, if I knew how to play guitar, this is definitely a song I'd want to learn.

[scrubsmusical]

I'm planning on learning how to play the guitar, and this is on my list of "songs that I MUST learn."

[romanerdstrom]

What got me was his use of the phrase "unique geometrical insights."

[OldMountainGorilla]

He is so much better than all of the over produced crap on MTV.

[Edgesworth]

@OldMountainGorilla WHY CAN I ONLY CLICK LIKE ONCE?!

"You're one bad-ass fucking fractal!"
