Jonathan Coulton
I have discovered a really great singer songwriter by the name of Jonathan Coulton. Ok, I haven't really discovered him. It isn't like I walked by him playing on the streets of Palo Alto and offered to represent him or anything. I just heard a song he'd written called Code Mokey, loved it, went to check out the other stuff he'd written and loved that stuff too. I'm going to post a song of his right now called Stroller Town. I'm mostly posting that one right now because I know that Pamela will find it funny and I'm in my office so I can't just nudge her and say "listen to this." Of course, because I'm in my office, I also can't see her make a face that means "ok, David, what stupid thing are you interrupting my life for this time." But she will like this one. All you parents out there, check out this stanza.
Then we stop off at the corner and she pulls up next to me
A sporty crimson red MacLaren Techno XT
Me I’m sitting pretty in my Bugaboo Frog
Swivel wheel suspension so I sleep like a log
And my five point harness keeps me buckled in tight
And the XT’s gunning as we wait for the light
And the wheels start spinning
That's funny stuff. And as if I didn't like Mr. Coulton enough already, his stuff is all under a Creative Commons license, so I can share it with you here on VOX. Just keep in mind, Jonathan Coulton wrote this music and it may only be used for non-commercial purposes : ) Go check out his site and buy an MP3 or two. You'll like his stuff. Here's the song, Stroller Town.
