Jonathan Coulton September 14, 2007

Jonathan Coulton is the Contributing Troubadour for Popular Science magazine and the musical director for John Hodgman's Little Gray Book Lectures. 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. Paul & Storm perform original comedy songs. Described by the Washington Post as "energetic and quick-witted," their harmonies are as sharp as their humor. The duo is well known from their work with the band Da Vinci's Notebook, and from the nationally-syndicated 'Bob and Tom' radio show.
