Jonathan Coulton: eats shoots and leaves.
Free music, comedy, and Creative Commons
Money for nothin’, monkeys for free.
Thought about self while baby born.
Everybody loves monkeys … and robots too.
Prosthelytizes free art, really just poor.
Geeky male teen angst really sells.
Visual Basic sucks, geeky songs rule.
Come on muse, more office jokes!
One week, one song, one dollar.

“Music from unique points of view.”
“Creative Commons, but far from common.”
“Jonathan Coulton: Now with sad vampires!”
