Jonathon Coulton on NY Morning Show

[humansvsrobots]

I remember watching this last 4th of July. I was way pissed that they cut him off. I was sulking the entire day.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

I'm sorry, but wouldn't it have been better to choose "I'm your moon" or "You ruined everything"?

[Johnwatsis]

No, because those songs might've seemed a little too serious, plus future soon is one of JoCo's most well known songs. He plays it at just about every single performance when he begins his set.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

Yeah but it's internet well known, so it doesn't count.

I;m your moon and you ruined everything don't require you to be a nerd to like and they're cute and sweet.

[Johnwatsis]

And that's the problem. He doesn't wanna look "cute and sweet", Plus, most of his song are 'nerdy' and he wanted to say 'hey, i'm joco i play nerdy fun songs'. Playing the other songs would've made him look like any other guy with a guitar singing love songs.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

But I would argue that if you're going on a show like the NY morning show, you're appealing to an audience that wants 'cute and sweet'.

[Johnwatsis]

But JoCo isn't about that, he plays want he wants, where he wants. He wants people to hear his funny nerdy songs. Plus, the cute and sweet thing is overused, he would be ignored if he went with it.

[TheGizmofromPizmo]

In all honesty I'd say most of his songs are overused at this point. Not that I'm not a fan or anything, but it would be nice to hear some new songs.

[Johnwatsis]

@TheGizmofromPizmo I wouldn't say they're overused, just he hasn't written anything new in a while, but then again he did write quite a long of songs in 1 year. He's writing a song for the game Portal 2, and they're rumors that he might actually do a whole soundtrack for the game. So, we can only wait.

[teatimecrumpet]

His music is always on thesixtyone.  I don't get why people like his music so damn much.

It really grinds my gears because it's cute...and that's about it. But people treat him like he's some kind of genius...

[polopautrat]

man shut the hell up, nobody cares about ur opinion

[50033836]

It grinds my gears that you have no idea about a great voice. And writing 52 great songs in as many weeks?

Great feat much!

[Pat8u]

@teatimecrumpet its because he is a genius

[Kranitoko]

would love a chance to meet him some day. Hes one of those people who should become legends for their work.

[StewedHamm]

I see JoCo's given up on correcting the "He WROTE 52 songs in 52 weeks" Then again, nobody expects the media to get basic facts correct anymore.

[humansvsrobots]

I got up early just to watch this and then they went and cut him off. i was so pissed

[crocen0]

this only makes me want to see you live so much more.

[Hammett11]

love the hair Jonathan!

[TheGiggleChicks]

Morning show, sweet deal JoCo. Now you're moving up :D

Love all your performances anyways <3

[TempestBrewer]

Man, if they had to cut that song off, that was the awesomest line to do it.

<3 you JoCo!

[cooljammer00]

Maybe some people watching will want to know how the plot of the song ends.

[DrGoalie11]

Solid performance JoCo! Future FTW

[roguea]

Sucks they cut you off man. But that's an awesome song choice! Great performance!

[Priscellie]

Woohoo from New York!  Best. NY Morning Show. Ever.

[humansvsrobots]

except for the whole cutting him off part

[P3GQ]
