Digital Cowboys: PAX 09 Interview With Jonathan Coulton

We're back from PAX but sick as dogs. Tony, Lizz and Paul caught the PAX-plague so we're holding back on the podcasting until at least Tony is feeling up to it. In the meantime one of the highlights of PAX for me was getting to interview Jonathan Coulton alongside Edie Sellers of Gamehounds (Who, by the way turned up unexpectedly after claiming she was going to be at Burning Man, which was one of the nicest surprises we got).

Jonathan is one of the brightest stars of nerdcore. His folksy take on office romance, passive-aggressive robots and evil geniuses who have no luck with the ladies is instantly charming and as affable as the man himself. This is also in video form on the website, but on here, you get a little of his music too, just to whet the appetite of those who haven't heard him before (Outside of the Portal Song; Still Alive) and also to make it even more special for die-hard fans, which after the concerts we saw him at, Tony and I now are.

Edie pretty much had control for the first ten minutes, but I DO eventually step in with some good stuff. We'll be back in a few days with a huge multi-hosted PAX podcast. Meantime, check out the main site for written articles and updates.
