Thing a Week 32 – Till the Money Comes
Just so you know how bad this monkey problem of mine has gotten, every time I type the title of this song my fingers want to type “Monkey” instead of “Money,” which would make for a very different song. This is more on the theme of “asshole sings a breakup song,” in this case his assholism is that he is a scrub, the kind of guy who can’t get no love from the lovely ladies of TLC.
I should also mention, by popular request I have made available a huge honking box set – it’s at the top of the songs page, it costs $50, and it gives you everything but the current Thing a Week album in one big zipfile. If you’ve been waiting to jump in and purchase, this may be the place to do it…

Code Monkey Like Gunplay
The smarties over at Tra5hTa1k have created a machinima video for Code Monkey. I am so thrilled that I am literally peeing in my pants. TrashTalk is an animated gaming news talk show created by the ILL Clan. The Code Monkey video itself was created with The Movies, a movie studio simulation game that among other things lets you create and direct 3D animation (the rest of their show is done using some kind of super secret animation-making stuff they designed). There’s plenty of monkey gunplay, which is an unexpected but delightful surprise – I think it’s terrific, and I’m not just saying that because it’s based on my song.
I don’t want to sound like a broken record here, but see that awesome thing that just happened? That’s Creative Commons…
Thumbs Up from George
I just got word from the people at PlimptonProject.org that I have won the George Plimpton song writing contest (with “A Talk with George”). Huzzah! They are an organization dedicated to getting a statue of GP erected somewhere in Manhattan, a worthy goal if ever there was one. I can’t imagine there were a ton of entries, but I am honored just the same. Thanks to the project for choosing my song, and thanks to Jim Hanas for bringing it to my attention. Many of you right now are saying, “That song was about George Plimpton?” Wake up people!
