Here’s a surreal bit to see. Jonathan Coulton is the very talented music god to geeks. His fame has exploded as of late due to the song Still Alive featured in the closing credits of the game Portal. While Coulton doesn’t actually sing the song in the game, here he is with other preforming the song live on stage. So what’s the weird part? He sings it while playing the game Rock Band, and actually receives a score for his performance from the game. First, it is slightly odd that game music is now being sold to consumers by other games. Second, how bizarre is it to see Coulton pretend rock through a video game to his own song? It isn’t technically ironic, but it’s certainly bizarre.
