Tracking through what my friends and neighbours are listening (via LastFM) I came across Jonathan Coulton, who seems to be getting a lot of attention over his recent track Still Alive being used as the closing credits in Portal - the latest Half Life incarnation.
But my attention was drawn to other tracks - Skullcrusher Mountain, Ikea and particularly CodeMonkey (which I am geeky and soppy enough to love dearly). At his best the vocab is tech vernacular, the subject offbeat and the treatment comic.
His tracks range from the inspired though unsettling to ho-humm - and all can be listened to (or purchased and downloaded) from his site.
