Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

I first heard of Jonathan Coulton a year or so back when I got the audio book version of The Areas of My Expertise (excellent, BTW). Coulton was the troubadour for that version of the book, and was very funny (even though, if I recall, he was ignorant of how much to tip a starling boy).

I had also previously heard Code Monkey, which is both good musically, and again, funny. So recently I bought a few tunes from the site (where you can buy direct from the artist and skip the record companies, like the TMBG store, etc).

I listened to many, you can here all of them in their entirety at the store, and ended up buying Mandelbrot Set (freakin awesome song), Chiron Beta Prime, and several others. I haven't bought the "everything" pack for $70 USD, yet, but probably will soon.

I know I am late to the Coulton party, but this stuff is good, really good. If you are like me and have missed it up to now, don't feel bad because you are lame and uninformed, just make up for it and start checking it out.
