Favourite new muso

In the last month or so I have been introduced to the concept of 'filk' aka 'geek folk'. It is highly amusing. Through Neil Gaiman's blog I have discovered Jonathan Coulton who writes some very funny songs of this genre, and even does a cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" (beats me why I've always liked that song...). Check out his listening suggestions! (Warning: if you listen to this at work and laugh out loud people will give you strange looks. I'm used to that but you might not be).

Excellent!

I think Jonathan Coulton did the song that plays in the credits to Portal(one of the best games this year). It's amazingly hilarious.

You've got impeccable taste Mimi.
