How did YOU find out about Jonathan Coulton

[The Shade of Time]

I'm just a tad confused how Jonathan has gotten to such a highly regarded state, now don't get me wrong I love him and I love his work but the only way I got to know who he is is through little World of Warcraft music videos, and the only reason I watched them was because I used to be a MASSIVE World of Warcrack head and if it wasn't for that then I'd have no clue who he is, but how did everyone elce get to know of his work???

[Edit] He's the guy that wrote "still alive" for people that don't know.

Portal's "Still Alive".

Who is Jonathan Coulton, exactly?
EDIT: After a Google search, he is a songwriter/singer who plays game music. Cool, I guess.

I read this thread.

Who is he?

 

[headshotcatcher]

Erm, I haven't

Who is he?

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

My brother showed me RE: Your Brains.

Edit: I'm now very disapointed in everyone who doesn't know who he is - He wrote Still Alive.

I went to PAX '08, on a saturday night, and stumbled into the concert hall. I fell in love. After the show, I got him to sign my sketchbook.

You are making the assumption that we care know about Jonathan Coulton.
That's where you're wrong.

Still Alive is a fairly poor song, Its only made of win (in other peoples opinion) because of the reference (Glados). I dont find it funny at all.

I knew his work. Thats about it.

 

[The Shade of Time]

Well I assume that people know of his work because I just read that he's been doing songs for Rock Band, so I though he must have a somewhat large audience.

This thread.

Although I've heard 'Still Alive', I never knew who was behind it. This is the first time I've heard his name.

I found him through my sister, first, from the song Tom Cruise Crazy, and at least a year later on Newgrounds that made RE: Your Brains a music video. Never really listened to his other music, though.

 

[TMAN10112]

A few of his songs popped up on Pandora Radio.

I've known about him for quite some time, but I didn't know that he made "Still Alive" until recently.

 

[Internet Kraken]

I have never heard of him.

[Edit] He's the guy that wrote "still alive" for people that don't know.

But now I feel sorry for him.

 

[Sethzard]

I heard about him on a forum, on a thread about a podcast. You should all be ashamed

 

[Littaly]

The (excellent) WoW music video for "Code Monkey".

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I was on the bus and my friend was talking about this hilarious songwriter and he showed me some songs. The first one I heard was Skullcrusher Mountain and it had me hooked. Then later I found he wrote the theme song to Code Monkeys and he also did Still Alive. He's a very talented guy.
