Is it sad or awesome that I clicked the upvote button the moment JoCo was mentioned?

JoCo sez:

"Oops - turns out I gave iFilm permission to post flickr in 06 before they were Spike.com. Viacom does not owe me $37. Sorry Viacom!"

I went to the website of the guy who did this, and he's doing the JoCo thing of a song a week... but, not as well. Almost every song is some simple bit (usually the name of the song) repeated ad nauseum.
So, I don't think there's a threat that he'll become huge or anything, plus each song is but seconds long.
Still, some of them are catchy.

JoCo song of the week?


Jonathan Coulton Now very famous amongst the geek circle, for songs such as Code Monkey, 1st of May, and Still Alive from the end credits of Portal. He did a thing a week for some time, where he released a song every week. You can download a large number of them for free from his site, and then buy some if you like as well. He's does a fine song does he.

This is the first song that made JoCo a name (in a restricted audience, but it was the start). Sir Mixalot is on record as liking JoCo's version.

I will always upvote JoCo... always

Vote for JoCo!
Go go go!

Auto-upvote for JoCo, but this is a nice little arrangement they've got going there:)

Hurrah for JoCo. I wish the man huge success. I mean, he obviously does have great success, he shows up everywhere, but he is one of the few artists I've bought music from online. Great stuff, from a great game.

I guess we can safely say that JoCo himself is a huge success... well played sir
