Jonathan Coulton w/ John Roderick - Nemeses (Official Video)

[killking72]

where can i get that app?

[ZachIzBeast]

God damn this song is awesome :)

[pocico5]

somebody who's good at transcription should watch this and post the guitar Sheet music for it.

[Maybeprobablynot]

@pocico5 they have the tabs on jonathancoulton(dot)com, idk about sheet music though...

[QUixilver05]

This sont is perfect to describe me and my nemesis

[TMulharin]

I don't know what it is, But John looks weird here.... Maybe it's the glasses?

[AGrayPhantom]

@TMulharin I think it's a combination of the rapist glasses and pedo-beard.

[9video9player]

John looks like he's a robot.

[Guille3692]

Just shut up and take my money!!!

[tafoxxvideos]

I like the video, but I think this song deserves a classic rom-com type video, with longing glances from across the hall, blushing unexpected bumpings-into, and lovingly-fingered photographs pasted onto doomsday machines. :D

[Gaz6231]

I wish I could write songs as intricate and clever as this.

[27aza1]

@Gaz6231 why not? of coz you can :) dont you know how JoCo started his carrier?

[Scoolfire]

I synched this song to the one on the site... it only took half the song.

[youtubuzr]

Great tune, thanks to TMBG for linking it!

[xlight0494x]

nice song... haha

[KRSONMar]

Gotta say,this video wasn't anything special to me at first,but like JoCo songs do,something about it stuck in my head and I had to come back for another watch.And then I started finding little things about it I love that are very well-done.It's a neat concept and I like the camera angles and how everything seems to somehow go with the music.Jonathan's expressions weren't thrilling me at first,but they kind of grew on me and now I think it's a neat performance.

[misfitkiller]

i feel like this is one of those songs that i will like because initially it doesn't make an impression on me, but then i find myself humming it in the store, but i don't know the lyrics, and then i HAVE to look it up, and then it gets stuck in my head for a week until i hate it. then in six months i rekindle my love for it, but keep it at an arms distance, enjoying it in mix CDs, fearing the intimacy will break my heart a second time.

[KingInYellowTatters]

This is the song I want to sing to my destined kismesis. : D

[hoadlck]

Well played indeed!

[FaceofFrequency]

I'd love for someone to figure out how to play this....(I just started guitar)

[mermaidkween]

@FaceofFrequency Someone actually did a lesson with this song and it's on YouTube!

[IllDieInThisCorner]

@malpalpal my name is Jonathan and I play the piano does that count?

[malpalpal]

Is everyone decent at music named john, jon, jonathan, or any variant thereof?

[InvisibleShoeLaces]

I haven't listened to many of their songs, but he's playin a martin, so that's an automatic win :)

[Vampericlegends]

@InvisibleShoeLaces most musicians worth listening to do play Martins haha

[007fordummies]

This song almost has a Barenaked Ladies vibe to it... I could totally see Steven Page and Ed Robertson covering this if Page ever got back with the band. It would also be a fitting joke considering their perceived tensions.

[Adhesiveginger]

Two Words! F**king Awesome

[novacweegee]

This sounds like it will be perfect for Portal...

[theclinger]

@novacweegee Cave Johnson and Dr. Breen?

[JakeBedlam]

come to germany!

[xfinitex]

I need to see him in concert again.

[sachsenpower1]

JoCo, will you ever come to Germany? :D

[attackoftheglobules]

@kevinliuzzo same here.

[Kidkodos12]

I like how hes singing threw the phone

[twilight7896]

I'm seeing JoCo opening for They Might Be Giants next February. It is going to be the greatest show of all time.

[DashCat9]

@twilight7896 Yeah...I saw that show back in September in New Hampshire. It pretty much was....but Coulton's set is *super* short.

[kevinliuzzo]

John Roderick totally nails it on the "Well Played" lyric. Makes the whole song for me.

[ColonelPablo]

Great song, wonderful recording, simple clean (elegant?) video. What's not to LOVE?

[caballero0livera]

cool  and NIce

[ClarkSavageJr]

Nice!

[KallimaAwesome]

I was literally just thinking of this song when I glanced at Facebook just in time to see TMBG link to this.

I love the internet.

[jaffesalad]

This is an excellent song. I like the duo via video phone.

That last sentence ended in all vowels.

This one does not.

[djkells3]

woow this is amazing

[MrCraigjclark]

They Might Be Beards

[DivaDe21]

@MrCraigjclark It IS No-Shave November. Glad to see the guys are on board.

[MrCraigjclark]

@DivaDe21 [ :o{I}>

[Vampericlegends]

@MrCraigjclark thats the name of my zz top cover band

[MrCraigjclark]

@Vampericlegends Hah!

[dannythesuperfreak]

@MrCraigjclark yep, they're beards.

[Maybeprobablynot]

@MrCraigjclark ...is the name of my JoCo/JoRo cover band. :3

[BoredChick]

Dat Smoulder.

I am basically flipping out right now. Fangirlling overload.

How did JoCo become even more beautiful??

[theclinger]

@BoredChick It's the purple sunglasses.

[j2n]

incredible song/video! i like hearing but miss seeing chrissy andy on the bass

[FaceofFrequency]

Another reason I really love this, besides the great music: John being on the Ipod on the stand makes it really seem like you two are rivals making this song with your not-so-real hatred for each other.

[Cernoise]

And this wins the award for Best Use of a Retina Display In a Music Video (or Ever?)

[PumpkinKiller9]

My brain thanks you for the delicious food <3

[luchdim13]

Just bought this on itunes :D One of the best off the new album! :)

[MrGseff]

This could be an ad for iPhone.

[MexicanGnomes]

@MrGseff Aww... Poor Windows phone. It just wants to be friends!

[Thiefree]

This is the other side of the romance coin, it would seem.

[Maybeprobablynot]

Oh no, now I have to keep looping Nemeses again and again. I shall make an enemy tomorrow so that this can be my life theme!

[goodknite]

Amazing track. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole album.

[danielfn93]

i wish i had a real enemy...

[ehcool]

Awesome JoCo so glad your making music video's PS guys search Jonathan Coulton Fan Club on Facebook

[ryanhocstetler]

It's like Johnathan knows my life almost perfectly.

[TheCr4zymik3]

@ryanhocstetler I know, I sometimes feel like a giant squid who breaks everything he loves and a super genius in love

[sheik530]

Is it possible for you to come to Australia? We neeeeeeed you here! I have friends that love your song!

[sxstrngsamurai13]

I'm want to know the story behind joco's look...is he the lex-luthor-genius? the good guy superman?

[MNeko]

It's bizarre how this actually made me cry. The beginning reminded me of someone I used to know who used to be my friend.

[dionelr]

How did you deal with audio lag?? Special effects?

[cjbprime]

@dionelr Oh, I'd expect the mic in front of the phone is just for show, and there isn't actually any audio coming out of the phone. You'd never actually use the audio from a phone's speaker on a recording..

[Maybeprobablynot]

Loving the acoustic version to DEATH, man!!!

[MrAliasWasHere]

Was I the only one thinking of Gary Oak while watching this?

[TomMunster]

Good number from Coulton Carter.

[gonesurfing72]

Skype Jam?



[blueeyedcloud]

<3

[everysandwich]

Loving everything on "Artificial Heart," Also grateful you had the smartphone in a shockmount in case someone left it on vibrate.

[trunks651]

I just want to let you know that I loved this video. Totally awesome.

[TheBrowndExperience]

Beautiful.

I've been singing this song constantly since it came out (that is, in that preview some site featured long before Artificial Heart was even released :D)

[pineappledust]

I can't see his face.

[djpiebob]

so freaking catchy!

[NotJabels24]

Oh boy, I love Jeff Lynne!

[FuturesCEO]

This will be on loop for a long time.

[thebishma]

Can't wait to see Joco + band on Thursday in PDX!

[goodgamer77]

Dude, Coulton looks pissed.

[konradsenf]

just had to outdo the iphone screen, huh. rocking the tinted glasses!

[Tebeku]

Awsome. That's all.

[CodeMonkeyGurl]

Amazing! 

[RobinDragonryder]

Someone with some actual video editing software (IE not me) needs to make a music video of Batman and the Joker to this song..... just sayn'.

[xaveir14]

You hear that? That's the sound of my heart being warmed

[MrCraigjclark]

That's what I call iPhoning it in. (Great song and video, by the way.)

[elisabethbogman1]

I like this song,

[everadopgil]

Great job!

[040272052802]

Nice Song! Check out Rock Group Inadaze here! Thx.

[MelleB90]

Holy shit new JoCo stuff what the hell someone please pick me up I am eating my keyboard while rolling through the dust behind my computer.

[konradsenf]

@MelleB90 just don't eat your mouse - you still need to get the rest of the album!

[Metalpulsecannon]

I love those glasses! Very 80-ies!

[Olpster]

Yeah

My week is safed

[Ufosxm]

Excellent, Joco!!! I love it. Long time listener.

[Pat8u]

but I now figured out that joco is the background singer

[Pat8u]

I got the voices confused

[CleansWithRag]

Awesome.

[BlackHat0]

That was absolutely amazing!

[Zzander]

Brilliant acoustic riff!

[wynnsyt]

So beautiful

[Lemurrific]

Wow this is fantastic. :D

Like a love song to your nemesis.

Kind of makes ya think.

[dylad]

Wonderful song! :D I've been working on covering this since I go the new album.

[suglyfweater]

You just keep getting better. I know it's weird to hear this from a stranger, but I am really proud of you.

[MeanLittlePoodles]

Great song!  Favorited video.

[lasarack]

so great in it's simplicity.

[MrReki101]

I love your songs. Your defiantly better than most of the musicians around today.

[Spintown7]

Great song, from a great CD.

[MrTizzay]
