This weeks post is going to be about: Jonathan Coulton
Jonathan Coulton is the nerd we all want to be. He is a Computer Programmer turned Singer/Songwriter. The first song I have heard by him was Still Alive, which happened to be the song played during the credits of a popular puzzle based video game (Portal, if you didn't know that.) My favorite songs by him are Ikea, Millionaire Girlfriend, Code Monkey, Mr. Fancy Pants, and Obviously Still Alive.
He has a unique sound and it defiantly is a sound that I like. I started playing Portal back in summer of 2009 and didn't really try and beat it until later that year. So naturally after I beat the game the credits rolled and I liked the song which then made me buy the Orange Box soundtrack. Which had his version and the Portal version of the song on it. Not to long after that I got introduced to more of his songs like Code Monkey and Ikea. So naturally I bought every song by I could get my hands on.
And that is how my iTunes found him while it was on Shuffle!
