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

@teatimecrumpet its because he is a genius

@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.

[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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

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!
