Jonathan Coulton is a fine musician and showman… …a gentleman, who will share the stage with a lady… …and, sometimes, a bit of a dick. ~CKL
Grooving the Lily
Get your fill of GrooveLily songs at the band’s new WordPress-based web site! If that page reminds of Jonathan Coulton’s MP3 Store, well, it’s a good thing. I think all musicians should post free listening samples online, and offer DRM-free…

Because I know you’re so interested (roll your eyes when you say that, pilgrim)… I voted for the Hugo Awards at least four hours before the deadline on Monday. Yay me. I didn’t have time to read all the nominees,…
“Pork and Beans” music video
Thanks to steadof for the link. And yes, Weezer did actually get all those people into a studio to do the lip-syncing. The grand finale starting at 2:37 is pretty impressive. But I really could have done without the creepy…
