    They also used to host the Little Grey Book Lecture podcasts together.
  • KingGorilla, on 07/04/2009, -0/+9I actually first heard him because of "Baby Got Back"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyJeC99QO8A
  • DredPir8Robrts, on 07/04/2009, -1/+9I wonder if HE got any cake...
  • SamLaw, on 07/04/2009, -0/+8Most difficult to read interview ever, I wish they had broken it up into paragraphs so it was readable.
  • Tomeron, on 07/04/2009, -0/+8I think I prefer to stay inside
  • sexybobo, on 07/04/2009, -0/+7He sold his music to. He just also gave it away.

  • rohit275, on 07/04/2009, -0/+7Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
  • thejackyl, on 07/04/2009, -0/+6Jonathan Coulton is the man
  • slydingo, on 07/04/2009, -1/+7That was SOOOO 2008
  • Gguillorn, on 07/04/2009, -0/+5I knew about chafing way before this thread. I must be trendy, or incredibly lonely.
  • christianw, on 07/04/2009, -2/+7wow this sub thread is full of a ***** of insecurity.

    need a manpon?
  • dinosarefriends, on 07/04/2009, -0/+5I just know him from The Areas of My Expertise audio book from John Hodgman. Anyone else read that book?
  • GanonApocalypse, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5THAT WAS A JOKE
  • AndrewDB, on 07/04/2009, -2/+7More lube please.

    Chafing is always bad. :(
  • fiatjustitia, on 07/05/2009, -0/+4Ha ha, fat chance
  • thejackyl, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3It's from a Coulton song!
  • emailowndme, on 07/04/2009, -0/+3Is this what digg meant with diggable ads?

    Because thus far, I am not impressed...
  • AMSRay, on 07/05/2009, -0/+3It depends on what you mean by "recently". I saw him in concert two years ago in a small bar here in North Carolina. There probably weren't 50 people there to see him, but it was a great show and most of the people there had come specifically because we knew he was going to be there. He was offering his songs for free download on his website, and also offering them for sale on CD or priced per song. Not all music fans are deadbeats and a lot of us are willing to pay a fair price for music we like, especially when you can give the money directly to the artist and it's not paying for lawsuits against other music fans.
  • RegularUser, on 07/04/2009, -2/+5The song:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI
  • sexybobo, on 07/04/2009, -0/+3He gave it all away on his site but also offered all of it for sale.
  • thejackyl, on 07/04/2009, -0/+3I can't believe someone dug you down for that
