Part of a song of his was featured in AMV Hell 4.

Then he did a musical section during the RiffTrax Live event (including getting massive numbers of people around the U.S. to sing like zombies).

I was playing the Orange Box soundtrack on Audiosurf and I saw that he was the guy who wrote it, not much else to tell really...

I'd have no clue who he is, but how did everyone elce get to know of his work???
Simply put, they didn't.

Allow me to demonstrate: Who the fuck is John Galt Jonathan Coulton?
Atlas Shrugged, excellent book.

On topic, I heard of him first when Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw mentioned him in the Orange Box review. Then I beat Portal and heard the song.

I found out about him because they play his music sometimes on a gaming radio station on the internet.

I may have heard his name first after Still Alive, but I didn't start listening to his music until Code Monkey, then I really got into him.

Portal first but then then someone posted "I feel fantastic" on my Facebook page and love blossomed.
I am quite surprised that a community of gamers haven't heard of him though. Although I guess he's not everyone cup of tea else he would be doing a stadium tour by now...

Still Alive. Specifically, the flash video I saw hosted on the VGCats site.

"I Feel Fantastic" is on my iPod for when my running shoes hit the street first thing in the morning. It's better than coffee any day, although I get some funny looks for singing (loudly in English) while running through the hood here.

Audiosurf, I had no idea who sung that song before that point. I think he's got a nice voice but I'm not a huge fan of some of his lyrics. "Skullcrusher Mountain" is kinda neat.

I heard RE: Your Brains on the Otaku Generation podcast and loved it, so I looked him up and found his site, where you can listen to most of his stuff. Then Portal came along and I was very happy to discover that the awesome Still Alive was his.

I saw an AMV for the song Code Monkey at Otakon a couple years ago. Then I heard nothing more about him until I played Portal. Looked him up on iTunes and downloaded Thing A Week Three.
