Several years ago, back in college, I was working at a small radio station in Rochester during my summer break.  While I was working, the station started playing a new canadian band called BareNaked Ladies.  I fell in love, hard.  I, in turn, infected my then boyfriend, now husband, with a love for this band.  He has finally returned the favor in a big way.

A while ago—back when I was remembering to post—I posted a link to Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton.  Since that time we have bought his whole catalog, and I have spent hours working to it.  His songs just click for me in a way that hasn’t happened in a while.  He is geeky, quirky, funny, and profoundly musical. The guitar work and harmonies are truly delightful. Please go to site and listen to some of his stuff: my current favorites are When You Go, Mr. Fancy Pants, I Crush Everything, and DNA. Hopefully you will be as hooked as I am.

We are going to see him at the Great American Music Hall in January, I can’t wait.
