Coultonfield

Being based in the Washington, DC area, we have many, many sources pocketed throughout all levels of the government. One of our most deeply-embedded moles has leaked the following footage to us. While alarming and disturbing, we believe it to be vitally important to the national interest, and have posted it here—likely at our own […]

Birchmere? Act Fast!

The word on the street is that there are less than 50 tickets remaining for tomorrow night’s big show at the Birchmere with Jonathan Coulton. So if you’re planning on attending and haven’t bought your tickets yet, get thee hence and go do so. You’ve been warned!

Big Show!

It’s been sold out for nearly two months, but we’d still like folks to come out and create a menacing throng outside of the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, where we’ll be opening for/adding sound to Jonathan Coulton’s set, which is being taped for posterity (whoever that is.)
Lots more touring coming up in […]

Novelty Thunderdome

Get this: we just found out that our song "A Better Version of You" is a finalist in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition in the "Comedy/Novelty" category. (Okay, actually, we’ve know for a couple weeks; they’ve only just now announced the finalists to the general public, and now we can talk about it.) Next, the […]

Website Tinkering

As you may have noticed by this point, we’ve fiddled with the look and feel of the site a bit—a new top banner here, a new left-hand sidebar there. Hope you all like it. We’ll be slowly making other changes in the coming weeks/months. Let us know if you spot any problems, though; after all, […]

Not to be Outdone by Storm’s Left Arm, Paul’s Lower Back Jumps Into the Fray

In what appears to be evolving into an ailment-off between Storm and myself, I’ve been hobbled by what turns out to be a lumbar strain. I’m currently feeling much better, thanks; and it should be gone in 3-5 days with rest, cold & heat treatment, incessant bitching and moaning and demands for more crackers and […]

Update: Home Remedy

No answers yet for the arm. Doc said it’s likely a torn tendon or muscle. I’m rooting for the torn muscle. I’ve read that’s how muscle is normally formed. Okay, maybe not by popping large masses of them in half, but still it seems like more of a "rehab" scenario than a "scalpel" situation (sadly, […]

Neil Gaiman Willing To Be Seen With Us In Public

Comics/fantasy writer Neil Gaiman came to our show in Minneapolis on Thursday. (Technically, he came to Jonathan’s show, and we just happened to be there as well) He was friendly, gracious, and as cool as you could want him to be. Plus, he said nice things about us on his blog afterwards. (If he hadn’t, […]

Bridesmaids Again, But At Least Now We Have a Nice Fuschia Dress

We recently found out we were finalists in the 2007 USA Songwriting Competition in the "Comedy/Novelty" category for our song "A Better Version of You". (The Da Vinci’s Notebook song "Liposuction" won the category in 2004).
Unfortunately, we didn’t win the category; songwriter Eric Colville won for his song "Doer’s Lament". Congratulations to him. I think […]
