Johnathan Coulton

Johnathan Coulton is the favorite singer-songwriter of the geek set (at least he's one of my favorites).  How could any geek resist songs like "Code Monkey", the futuristic Christmas tune "Chiron Beta Prime", Chiron's ode to Pluto "I'm Your Moon", or the molecular biological "That Spells DNA"? 

You can download MP3s from his web site - some of them are even free! -  or  order CD's through Amazon.com.
