The Goon Line 049: Jonathan Coulton

HAPPY MAY FIRST. LET’S GET RIGHT INTO IT.

I have been listening to this song on this day (and many others) for more than 15 years. I will definitely sing it out loud at some point today. I used to post it annually on Facebook, when I had that, and I’m sure I shared it at least five times ^{but probably more} in some Slack or Teams or other channel at more than one job. Maybe I should put it on LinkedIn today! #opentowork

The weather’s beautiful here right now, so during my afternoon dog walk perhaps I’ll see a music video of this song unfolding in real life (I hope I do not). Maybe this First-of-May-and-beyond weather will help to remove me from the internet slump in which I found myself last week. I barely opened my computer and said multiple times “I hate the internet,” but it was not at all the, uh, self-care flex it may sound like. I know I have recently shared some real power jams to help drag us out of these funks (JEEZ SORRY FOR ALL OF THE MUSIC LATELY), but here are a few more JoCo bangers you might want to listen to, on the First of May or any other time.

Thank you, Jonathan, indeed.
