When Jonathan Coulton scheduled his October 10th show at Chicago's Park West, he didn't know that fellow nerd-rockers
They Might Be Giants were playing on the same day, at the same time, in the nearby Vic Theater. Not only that, the Giants were performing their hit 1990 album
Flood in its entirety. In a
tongue-in-cheek effort to make sure somebody showed up for his performace, Coulton, along with
Paul and Storm, decided to perform their own take on Flood. Hightlights included absolutely no accordion ("
that's a selling point"). In
nine parts on YouTube.
Audio recorded directly from the venue's soundboard.

Are you, like many others this summer, considering avoiding the costs & hassles of pricey foreign or domestic travel by having a "
staycation" at home? Daily Show commenter John Hodgman (ably backed by Jonathan Coulton on the strings)
enumerates the benefits of a "Holistay" (much better name) to help you make your choice.
