A bunch of us went out to the Birchmere last Friday to see Jonathan Coulton with Paul and Storm. Sarah and I had seen him last Fall at the same venue, so we brought friends this time: Marjee, Trevor, Nowell, Carlo, Ian and Jane. A good time was had by all, I believe. The Birchmere is always a fun venue and the Jon, Paul & Storm combo is always entertaining.
I suppose I should probably feel more shame over my love of novelty music acts, but I would say two things to the naysayers of musical comedy stylings: 1) There is wisdom in humor. 2) Shut up.
The video above was posted by Mr. Coulton, who came on stage to sing Nugget Man with Paul and Storm during the opening. He had a camera in his pocket and made much mirth. You can pretty much get the whole story from the video itself, although you miss out on the awesome JoCo model swivel. Too bad for you.
I am way too much of a nerdy novelty music fan. I can’t help but love all sorts of comedy music, especially this duo from New Zealand. Mock me if you must, but I will be laughing at you from the Jonathan Coulton and Paul and Storm show next week!

Pew Internet: Early Adopters - A really interesting report about early Internet adopters. The report points out that really not much has changed about how we use the Internet: people and information are still the big attractors, in that order! There’s nothing new under the sun…
These are the bookmarks I created between February 16th, 2008 and February 18th, 2008:
Elbows Music Blog Aggregator - Elbows is a super handy search engine for finding reviews, articles and downloadable tracks. It tends to skew towards the indy/hipster scene, but it’s easy to use and quick to get to the content you want.
purevolume™ | We’re Listening To You - purevolume is a music magazine/community. It’s got a decent media player included with album reviews and offers a lot of singles for download. It’s another resource for discovering music.
MindTime Groups - An interesting site that tries to help people collaborate more effectively by leveraging work style profiles and encouraging known good collaborative practices.
404 might be found: the curious case of DNS redirects - More service providers (Verizon FIOS, Google) are forcefully and secretly redirecting 404 errors to their own search pages. This pisses me off — the website owner should be able to make helpful, specific 404 pages (or whatever they choose)!
I decided to re-skin the site for the new year. I’m about 85% finished, but I am so excited I couldn’t resist making it active on the site. So to celebrate the new skin, here’s a video from Jamie T.
