Jonathan Coulton is just an amazing singer-songwriter-musician-personman. He appeals to such a wide audience. And he doesn't even need a band to sound awesome. He just needs a tuned guitar and a microphone. Mic optional. Unlike all these other people that rely on prerecorded everything, including vocals because people can't sing worth shit. May his legacy last for all eternity.
This makes me realise something i never realised....maybe i should pursue the dream i never knew was there and start up music just like this guy. If im talented which im sure i am not. I will make sure you are the one that inspired me. Thank you so much.
@Dramoir Bear in mind, he was well established and selling CDs before he quit his job! The fact that a year later he wrote the most influential piece of videogame music in a decade probably has something to do with it too..
So is anyone else annoyed when people in the audience try to be witty at these things with their own jokes? Other than being quite rude, it's usually not terribly funny.
No. Hello. Hold on. Laurin Sydney. He said you see. Soon enough. So you say the the. Homer, that's the reason it happens news. This is see you soon. Well let me say this, maybe Mugabe and his is it is.
Software writing is such a shitty job, you are pinned to your computer for more than 8 hours a day and it's the same boring shit every day. Even though the money was quite good i would never go back.
@carlbot2000 Yeah, but they guy who got in front of the camera is fucking awesome. He has the brains to not say "sorry" and fuck up the audio. Just quietly moved out of the way once he realized he was blocking it.
@DerekNS74 yea but if he said sorry you'd be complaigning even more saying OMG WHY DID HE SAY SORRY lol but hey we are all only human soooo no matter what happens most of the time we'd all react the same way if not close to it
anyone else prefer the acoustic version over the original?
