Those of you who have played and beaten the game “Portal” by Valve would be familiar with Jonathan Coulton’s work. He wrote the end credit song “Still Alive”. This isn’t the only thing that he has done and to coincide with the release of his concert DVD Paste Magazine has conducted an interview with him to give us an insight into what he has been up to lately.
Although the music blogosphere isn’t fawning over him, Jonathan Coulton is one of the most successful truly independent recording artists ever. He cultivated a devoted web following by offering his music for free on his website and he has an abundant knack for melding pop melodies with comedy. After the success of his ambitious Song a Week project, Coulton wrote the song “Still Alive” for Portal and secured his cult status. His first DVD, Best. Concert. Ever. just hit store shelves.
