JoCo April 7, Portland OR - Aladdin Theater
Really psyched. I was listening to my "Jonathan Coulton Radio" Pandora station this morning - a vacation day - and decided to see if he had any shows scheduled anywhere I could visit. Lo and behold one in my home SMSA! With Paul&Storm. This is going to be great.
Comments
It was their first time in Portland since 2012, and it made for an interesting crowd. You could tell there were a lot of new fans, and it was fun to hear laughter at some old favorites which people were clearly not familiar with (Millionaire Girlfriend seemed to be a particular hit).
Set List:
Artificial Heart
Millionaire Girlfriend
ShopVac
Ikea
Code Monkey
Je Suis Rick Springfield
Make You Cry (Paul & Storm)
Birdhouse In Your Soul (Paul & Storm)
Space Doggity (Paul & Storm)
Big Bad World One (Paul & Storm)

The Future Soon
Skullcrusher Mountain
You Ruined Everything
Re: Your Brains
Encore
Still Alive
I Feel Fantastic (Paul & Storm)
Hopefully things are going well with the new album. I don't figure he needs any more pressure from me about it, but I really love the new ones I've heard so far. (I should e-mail him and tell him so.)
