info_outlineThe holiday season continues apace. To mark Boxing Day, the onset of Kwanzaa, the first day of Xmas gift returns, a belated Festivus,
your 40th birthday, or anything else notable about today, here's a
special year-end bonus: a medley of live performance highlights from
the December 16, 2006 "Jonathan Coulton meets Paul and Storm" show at Milkboy Coffeehouse in Ardmore, PA.
(Check out the impish tour poster from Visual Thing a Week inkmeister Len Peralta of Jawbone Radio.)
"Skullcrusher Pirate Hotdish" is named in honor of some of the themes appearing in the songs -- and to mark the fact that I'm visiting in Minnesota (which is disturbingly devoid of snow at the moment). I've freely reordered songs from the show's two sets to give you a sampling of all the performers, separately and in combination. If you're new to either of the featured acts, you're in for a treat.
The set list for this virtual concert:
Skullcrusher Mountain (JoCo)
Nugget Man -- Robert C. Baker (P&S w/JoCo)
Code Monkey (JoCo w/P&S)
Your Love Is (P&S)
Over There (JoCo w/P&S)
A Better Version of You (P&S)
Creepy Doll (JoCo)
The Captain's Wife's Lament (P&S)
Re: Your Brains (JoCo)
~~ (All brief "commercials" courtesy Paul and Storm.) ~~
Please note: All songs appear with permission from the artists, and no robots, pirates, zombies, cuddly creatures, or giant squid were harmed during the making of this mix. Nothin' furry in the slurry.
Get ready for the new year -- resolve to catch Paul and Storm with Jonathan Coulton LIVE in 2007. ["Release the doves!"] ______________________________________
