Thing a Week 30 – The Presidents
This is a song that I wrote last year for a Presidents Day edition of Little Gray Books – one small fact about every US president (thanks Wikipedia). Some of you more dedicated Coulton scholars may have already heard the live version in episode 7 of the Little Gray Books Podcast. Back then I performed it with the Hungry March Band, the most energetic stoner marching band I’ve ever seen. They played the Hail to the Chief part in between verses – since I have no marching band here, I had to make do with toy instruments. This new recording may be a little rough because there are men hammering and sawing and drilling in my kitchen all week, not exactly the best thing to have on the other side of the studio wall. You may hear some of it here and there, but hey: this is Thing a Week, people.

NYC Gig
It’s almost May 1, and you know what that means. Time to get serious about having sex in the out of doors. To celebrate this important day of the year, I’ll be performing at Mo Pitkin’s this Monday May 1 at 7 PM as part of the Reader’s Room series. It is free and will cost you only what you eat and drink and slip into my pocket as I walk past you.
What The Huh?
Well this is odd: http://www.cafepress.com/sparehead
I can’t really tell if this pre-dates my song or not, but it would certainly be weird if it did. Is the phrase “Code Monkey like Fritos” just a common thing that people say maybe?
Good Ol BadServo
Fella by the name of BadServo is on TOP of it! For those of you who missed it, here are links to the audio and video from the Daily Show last night, as recorded, encoded, and posted by him:

I’m pretty sure they re-run the show every following afternoon sometime, so you can probably catch it then too. Aside from my own excitement about having music on the show (and the strange uncomfortable out-of-body experience hearing Hodgman say my name while I was sitting in the audience watching the taping), I must say that it was a really funny show. JH was particularly funny I thought. Also I have a huge boy crush on Tom Selleck…
