OMFG does anyone have the Set List ? I am horribly addicted now and preparing to drop a mint on the man. Need to know which albums I enjoyed the most but I dont know which songs he sang.

    Mandlebrot Set, SkullCrusher Mountain, Creepy Doll, Tom Cruise Crazy, Re: Your Brains, Code Monkey....


    I'm not sure of the order, but those were the ones I caught. Didja get a chance to talk to him? He seemed pretty cool.


    At least, he put up with me acting like a preteen meeting *N Sync back in the late 90's...
    without the screaming....

    He also sang "Better" which you can d/l for free off the Popular Science website along with some other songs of his:
    http://www.popsci.com/popsci/futurebody/ecad9371b1d75010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html

    I love his music! I got the biggest kick watching people hearing it for the first time and laughing their heads off. You can find a bunch of his songs set to WoW-made videos in YouTube, too, created by spiffworld.

    I was one of the people that had only heard a few of his songs, but I had a blast for sure. I was pretty close to the front and everyone up there was having a great time. I already bought a bunch of his stuff since I got back, now I just need to find time to listen to it all...

    i tried it last night. either he's greedy and doesn't want people to hear his stuff for free, which I doubt, or all the errors I was getting was because the site got wanged.

    Yep, he sang it. Not only that, but he was selling some Code Monkey card game sets at his booth!
    There's a link on his website to download and print out the cards on business card print stock (whenever his site recovers).

    His site is back up (and there was much rejoicing). I must say, he's made a fan out of me. There's a kind of casual madness in his lyrics and topics, that really appeals.

    Ya, I agree!! It was really amusing to see everyone around me laugh like crazy. Each little group of people around me had at least one person that would know the songs and say, "This one is great!" But I cracked up too, because he is just hilarious! I just LOVED his interaction with the "helicopter camera".

    I've heard a good amount of his songs before, and I got me a Code Monkey t-shirt before everyone realized how AWESOME he is.

    You know I immediately wore that shirt to work, and it was awesome!

    I believe that is the exactly correct set of songs. I bought 12 of the 13 you listed the other day off his site. (I forgot "Better".)

    Sent him an email and thanked him for coming to PAX. Personally, I think he was the best musical act. I'm looking forward to seeing him again at McMenamin's in Portland soon. He's a cool guy... great music.

    I had never listened to Coulton before PAX, but he ended up becoming one of the biggest highlights of the show. His performance was truly magnificent.

    And as a sidenote... The Minibosses really need to work on a new set...

    Couldn't agree more. Coulton was awesome and the OneUps where freakin' sweet too, they kind of put all the other Game Bands to shame. I used to really like the Neskimos, but when the guitarist got up there and said the same EXACT THING he said last year ("no sitting at rock shows blah blah"), AND the fact that they still don't have a drummer, I just had to walk out. I really wanted to like the Minibosses as well but they kind of phoned it in this year. Anyway, here's to hopin' JC and the OneUps are there next year...

    Make a point to wear some kind of obvious shirt. A PAX shirt would work... but I don't have one... so some kind of gamer shirt would be good. Then we can say hi, like, for real.

    Ten straight minutes of him doing covers of the little songs Ze wrote for The Show over the year.
