Jonathan Coulton - More Info, Blog

Jonathan Coulton is the Contributing Troubadour for Popular Science magazine and the musical director for John Hodgman’s Little Gray Book Lectures. He recently accompanied Hodgman on his book tour, singing songs about hobos and furry lobsters, all while wearing a funny hat. His songs about vengeful nerds, ennui-afflicted clowns, self-loathing giant squids, and devotees of a certain Swedish prefab furniture store are insanely clever without ever being too clever for their own good. They repeatedly lure you into laughing before suddenly breaking your heart. And the sick part is, you keep coming back. Coulton's is the voice of every spooky elementary school kid who could never quite keep his shirt tucked in or shoes tied; every lovelorn mason and mad scientist; every one of us who has ever sat despairingly on the floor, surrounded by parts of an Ikea endtable, weeping over our allen wrenches.

Project Sisyphus - More Info, Blog

Would you like the idea of Bach done as a hoedown? Coldplay performing the “Chicken Dance” at a wedding? No, of course not. These are the regrettable ideas of Project Sisyphus—a deranged muscial creation from session keyboardist/producer Bob Emmet, who was looking for new ways to lose money between gigs. Featuring a growing assortment of singers (none ever seem to want to come back), the first CD, “Finding Emo” was completed in September of 2007. For reasons nobody can explain, the first single, “Me And You And A Dog Snafu” has been featured on Dr. Demento and debuted at #5 on Dave Tanny’s Dementia Top 20 podcast. Unfortunately, other releases are bound to follow.

Seamonkey - More Info, Blog

The Seamonkey is a guy... a guy driven by a dream... a dream to one day actually be responsible for a hit comedy recording. I mean ANYTHING in ANY capacity! Well fans and casual onlookers, I hate to say it but that dream may be harder to acheive than learning inward farting! The Seamonkey's predominately crass and often downright WRONG renderings of popular tunes may just keep him from any kind of positive recognition ever, save from amatuer pornographers and layman Satan worshippers.
Split from his normal everyday personality of a mild-mannered, unsuccessful yet extremely sexy everyman, the Seamonkey began ruining people's favourite songs ca. 1995 just to be a spoilsport. Now, a local legend*, the Seamonkey can be found unleashing his "musical taboo" in extremely small local venues in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area (that is, unless someone wants to fly him to their town's favourite venue on a luxury jet with full service bar... ok, a bus ticket and some reefer?). If you like your parody music disturbing or just like to punish your neighbor with mediocre singing, Seamonkey Music is not just a thrill, it's a necessity!

*Please Jesus, don't punish me too harshly for this white lie.

Steve Goodie - More Info, Blog

Steve Goodie is, in all modesty and candor, the genius of our age. Comedian, writer, singer, director and producer, Steve was a founding member of Monty Python and has written scripts for Sid Caesar, Woody Allen, Mahatma Gandhi, Matt Groening, and Queen Elizabeth (for which he was knighted in 1972 at the unprecedented age of six). The Beatles credit much of their fame to his early studio work, during which he developed their recording sound with his apprentice, George Martin. His film scores and theatre work need no introduction, and he became a household word with his ground-breaking recording of The Biggest Belch In The History Of Man. It is a tribute to his humility that, on the suggestion of his long-time fan and sometime paramour Liz Taylor, he entered the Federal Witness Protection Program and began a new career, "to level the playing field," as he put it, "for the other idiots trying to make it in Show Business."
