Jonathan Coulton: "Creepy Doll"

This song will be in Wednesday's Halloween-themed podcast, but I thought I'd also share it here since at least one Coulton fan out there has said she didn't know this song.

No theme, no talk, just music. Sweet, sweet music.

Tracks 1 and 6-8 came from the Podsafe Music Network, and yes, that IS the Ann Wilson from Heart and the Lovemongers. Tracks 3 and 4 and possibly 2 came from the IODA Promonet, though I no longer see Bazza listed there so it's possible I got that song somewhere else.

Helen Sventitsky, "Ten Years On (live)"
Colossal Head, "Top of the World"

Tracks one and six come courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. Tracks two and four come from the artists' Web sites, and track seven from CD. Track three comes from ArtistLaunch, and track five comes via the IODA Promonet.

New episodes resume Wednesday, as will the Bizarro Files. If you've heard this one before, you get something new. If you haven't heard back that far, there's some good music here that got lost in rank amateurism the first time around.
