Dear JC, I’m just listening to Code Monkey at work and writing it out for a friend (long story) and one chord in the bridge is throwing me. Is that a Cdim7 or a G#7 under “login page”?

Heard Jonathon being interviewed on a podcast for the BBC at the SXSW festival. As soon as I heard Code Monkey I fell in love.

Will now spend weeks/months listening to Code Monkey while exploring Jonathon’s blog and other works.

No, it wasn’t meant to be a reference. But the riff is actually quite similar to a few different songs, not the most original thing in the world to be sure…

By: David

David — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 11:12:01 +0000

Almost two years after the post, I have a question: I noticed that your guitar riff is quite similar to that in the old MTV theme song (a la “MTV ID - Moon Landing”[*]). Was this intentional or just a coincidence (or is the similarity all in my head)?

Between this and portal… I think I’m going to listen to more of your work, Mr. Coulton.

Furthermore, I wish Code Monkey were a song you could rock out in on Rock Band. Harmonix really loves indie artists, and you already had “HUGE SUCCESS” with the last song of yours that was in a video game. Could this be possible?
