Quick Linkzzz!
A half-hour show about a startup company with puppets (the show I mean, not the startup). They used Code Monkey at the end of episode 3.
A very kind review from Fangirl Magazine and an equally nice write up from comic dude Josh Way. It’s nice to be nice to the nice.
I’m up for a Mackie! They’ve nominated Code Monkey for best original music in a machinima production (this is from the Ill Clan video). The Ill Clan also snagged a few nominations, as well they should.
Eric sends this image, which may not make sense to you unless you have seen this.
Norman, a German person, tells me that “Re: Your Brains” is ranked number three (as of episode 39) in a poll they’re running in their PodParade podcast. How will it fare in episode 40?!
If you looked at the front page of the Sunday Boston Globe business section, you may have seen my pretty, pretty Second Life avatar and an article about how musicians like me are using the internet to be musicians like me. In a related story, eMarketer thinks I’m a marketing genius, but fails to credit my laziness.
And my favorite, Bry sends in his tribute to all the Thing a Week songs, sung to the the tune of The Presidents. Awesome.
Here are way to many photos of our appearance at Cody’s in San Francisco. See what a good time you missed?
TSOYA Interview
While John and I were in LA we stopped in to see and be interviewed by The Sound of Young America’s Jesse Thorn, the young whippersnapper who makes old radio people feel old and sad because he is so young and awesome. There’s an interview with John and an interview with me, as well as some extra discussion about this whole cat care disaster, and a couple of songs I played live in the studio.
Out of Gas
As they say in the cop movies, I’m getting too old for this shit. I would have loved to spend some time walking around beautiful San Francisco today, but had to crash out in the hotel instead. Now I’m off to Cody’s to do the Hodgman thang, and then back to NYC tomorrow for a few days, where I hope to sleep this cold away.
Thanks to all you folks who came out last night, that was a really fun show. As usual, you demonstrated that Seattle audiences tend to be the biggest and most enthusiastic, even when I’m high on store brand DayQuil, croaking my way through songs I don’t play very well on a good day. And the crowd at the Hodgman reading was simply enormous, maybe 300 people. Totally kickass. We love you west coast, bye for now…
Thanks LA (I Mean Santa Monica)
Thanks to everyone who came out last night to Temple Bar, that was a lot of fun. My first time playing in LA (or thereabouts anyway) and it was a nice, big, friendly crowd with stuffed monkeys. I’ll be back.
Now, we’re just about to wrap up the first half of this tour, so here’s what we got left. Today we’ll be at Powell’s in Portland at 7:30 for a reading. Tomorrow, ditto at Elliot Bay in Seattle, and then I’ll do a show at the Jewelbox Theater at 8:45 (or as soon as I can get over there). And then finally on Thursday, a 7 PM reading at Cody’s in San Francisco. Home to NYC for a bit on Friday and then back out again the last couple weeks of October for more fun down the east coast and beyond. So the only other immediate Coulton show is in Seattle – I was hoping for something in San Fran but it doesn’t look like that’s going to work out after all, which is maybe just as well since I’m battling a nasty cold and just tired, tired, tired. Hodgman’s a real slave driver…
