Jonathan Coulton

Jonathan Coulton is a folk rock singer/writer, and once a programmer. So he has a nerdy streak to his music. As a musician, he uses the Creative Commons for licensing. He went through a year where he created and released a song a week, which is cool. I like his stuff, it amuses me a lot. Here's a sample of some of my favorites, as long as youtube keeps them up. For more, go visit his web site at http://jonathancoulton.com/. You can listen to all the songs he's released there. (Yeah... I know that since Still Alive was released, he's pretty popular... I also decided not to include Still Alive, since everyone knows what that is.)

Mirror's Edge

I thought the above image was pretty clever. The left image is the original character design of Faith from the video game Mirror's Edge. The right is a fan's guess at how Faith would be changed if she was re-designed by a Japanese game company. Sadly, it's probably pretty accurate. Yeah, so, Mirror's Edge is out now... not that I can play it without getting sick.
