Great Galloping Grimjack! Popular Science and Creative Commons are co-sponsoring an in-world concert by none other than Jonathan Coulton next week Thursday!Jonathan who? If you're not familiar with Mr. Coulton's particular brand of musical love, do yourself a treat and head over to his website and have a listen or twenty. You have to love songs with titles like 'The Town Crotch', 'Furry Old Lobster', and 'Beds Hurt My Booty'. You have to; you're required by law to love them.
Best of all, Mr. Coulton operates on the Creative Commons license tip, meaning that his songs are remixable, shareable, and downloadable for free -- but please support your Internet Bard by patronizing his tunes. Did I mention they're also DRM-free?
Adri Saarinen is working the PR for this concert, so if you have any questions/comment/love notes, you may contact her. Joining Jonathan will be SL musicians:
- Melvin Took website
- Kourosh Eusebio website
- Etherian Kamaboko website
- Slim Warrior website
- Jaycatt Nico website and Frogg Marlowe website
- Cylindrian Rutabaga website
1. We might have an overflow crowd in Menorca for this concert, so we have some simulcast locations or you can stream the audio on your own land.
