Sometimes I'd come up with a rhyme that was funny, and then try to find a picture that would work, other times I'd find another great picture and figure out a way to describe it that rhymed. I'll see if I can get the full version uploaded to ourmedia. Ad Astra. This is oddly touching and beautiful. The music makes it happen really. You are a wonderful song writer and do an excellent job evoking emotion through your music and vocals.
I mean, your voice is inspiring! This sounds kind of fruity coming from another man, not being typical man-speak, but yours is the kind of voice I enjoy hearing. When I'm not listing to angry anti-government styled metal, I like to relax to folk music, and your songs qualify in that genre. There is heart in this song, unlike Resolutions. I hate to be critical of your talents, but your Things lately have felt only half-hearted. It has to be tough cranking out a new song every freakin' week.
Thanks for giving me something to look forward to on Fridays besides the weekend. That would be nice. I don't know ourmedia. This is a constant favorite at the studios here! Giggles abound.
Dwyer and Thumbs Up For Slurpees are phrases constantly repeated between takes! Muchas Gracias. Floyd crew! How did you do that?! Great Song. Check them out if you get a chance. The whole thing is awesome, but the dog with glasses made it special. He she? Bittersweet memories seeing this one. There's something about this sort of compilation that is very powerful - I suspect everyone can relate to at least ONE photo in here. Amy: CC licenses are not meant to replace copyright, they actually work together to allow ou to create a middle ground between "all rights reserved" and "no rights reserved.
CC says you can reuse my stuff under the share and share alike rules, but copyright says you can't just put my song in a commercial for cheese without licensing it from me. I think you're right though - I could probably change the site to make this a little more clear. I did put the CC license text in at the end of the video. And I think I know why, as Jerry pondered above, it's so "satisfying. Even, or especially, amidst all the turmoil and uncertainty in the world today.
Finding a box of old photo albums you'd thought had been lost years ago in a move. I could go on, but I hope you get the idea. Now, get your butt down to Huntsville, AL sometime.
A touch of "whacked in the head" goes a long way too. If you can't make it, I'll be definitely looking for a Vienna show the next time I visit the in-laws in Fairfax. Thanks for reading, thanks for the music, and all the best! I loved this video so much, it inspired me to create The Jonathan Coulton Project! I loved the video a while back, but when I went to show it to a friend today, the link didn't work. I think you've got a broken link. I would love to see the video again.
I just bought the "Thing-a-Week Two" album with this song on it, ripped the CD to mp3s and stuck them on my mp3 player and have been listening to the songs all week. This song was in my top three favorites on the album, but I didn't realize what the song was called.
Only today did I notice the song's name was "Flickr" and I realized, "Hey, I bet there are pictures to go with this song! So, JC, when you said, "I also could theoretically post the song by itself I guess, but what a weird song it would be without any images," the song by itself is beautiful and was a favorite of mine even before I looked at any of the pictures. I'm downloading the video right now.
Thanks for writing it and brightening so many people's lives. Don't they know that they're stars? Since Flickr just enabled stats use for pro users, I just noticed that one of my photos was linked by jonathancoulton. It's a big thrill to see that one of my photos is actually referred to in the song! Thumbs up for Slurpees, indeed! I promise that 'if your receiving your not gay' will never be set to private. I love the video and the song.
My roommate is the one that found this on line and told me about it. Good times. I hope that isn't a problem. Great stuff here! Contact: joco jonathancoulton. We'll send you four free tracks to start, we'll never give your address to others, and we'll make sure you know about the latest news and upcoming concerts. Mythgarr says Good times - you really should get some better software for rendering the credits at the end if you plan on doing more of this thing.
Brooklyn Bluesman says You've really achieved something approaching greatness here. A great Christmas Card. Merry Christmas from Barrington, Rhode Island. JH says This is probably the most important thing I have seen all year. But dude: what's up with those credits?
Brett Taylor says Jonathan - You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! A living legend is you! Corduroy jackets and mulled cider. Turtlenecks and apple picking and the slow, aching death of everything green and good in the world. Big, bounding, fluffy golden retrieves leaping through your patio windows and tearing apart your house for no reason. And piles of burning leaves in the yard, with Jonathan Coulton staring into the inferno, wondering, how did it all end up this way?
I first met Coulton in the Fall. It was at Yale University, where we were both educated. Throughout the world Fall is known as the season of death; but for the student, the chill winds mean hope and new beginnings and surprising new friendships. One evening, some colleagues and I were sitting in a great, oak-paneled room of the many that infested the Yale campus.
It was lit only by a blazing fire, and we were throwing huge glasses of brandy into it, wrapping ourselves in woolen blankets and taking refuge in discussions of four-way chessboards, frictionless bicycles, insect ESP, and other matters of the mind. Then Coulton cast open the door. Light poured in. Women were with him.
He was smiling he did not wear a beard then, and so, for a brief moment in history, his teeth were bright and visible. We cringed in our wingchairs and blankets. Coulton wasn't like us. Ok, trying to parse this isn't working. I played this for my 'sonofamusician' S. Got frustrated and walked away. Whoah, trippy. Contact: joco jonathancoulton.

I will eventually set up a page as these things pile up, but for now: download it here. Glenn says Lather, rinse, repeat. Glenn says I like it, in that quirky bizarre way -- did you write the music for this, or just grab it from something else? JoCo says gv: If that all happens in the next nine weeks, color me satisfied.
That's 52 ditties in a year. JoCo says Rohit: no worries, I can't very well fault anyone for asking that question given the content of that filthy, filthy song. Pezulator: you read my mind JoCo says rohit: all worthy challenges. The cardboard box is particularly intriguing to me Arlo says Um, Duh. Mythgarr says I suppose it all depends on just how strictly you define "cheating" - after all, they just said they were making a baby out of DNA.
JoCo says Betty is definitely cheating.
