The Jonathan Coulton Project

So the UK concert happend, and it was the best.

I managed to get some video, although the video quality is very dodgy, the audio is fine:

A bit of banter when Jonatha returns to the stage to find presents - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIAKTzgFcdY

Anyone who has been visiting my site for about 2 years will remember me trying to arrange a UK tour, well dispite my best attempts I couldn't pull it off. Jonathan assured me he would cross the big pond to perform.

Well Jonathan is clearly a man of his word, as on March 20th (that is the day before Good Friday) he will be performing, for one night only in London at a place called Dingbats.

Book your tickets now, before they sell out. Only just under 500, and I think it will sell out (it will if I have anything to do with it!):

I recently got an iPhone, and was not happy to find iTunes in the UK don't support ring tones.

After much investigation, I finally found a way to get Jonathan Coulton songs on my iPhone as ring tones on the PC for iTunes version 7.6.

1. Open your music file in your sound editor (e.g. Audacity), and crop it down to 40 seconds or less, if not already, then save.
2. Convert the file to an mp4 (using dvdvideosoft - video to iphone mp4 converter, yes video! - http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-iPhone-Converter.htm)
3. Rename the file with an m4r extension (make sure you first uncheck “hide extensions of known file types� in tools -> folder options -> view, or in Vista, Organise -> Folder and Search Options -> View Tab -> Untick Hide extensions for known types)
4. Drag the m4r file to your iTunes Ringtones window

Or you can download these and simply drag them to the ring tones window of iTunes:

• Code Monkey (Start of Song)
• Code Money (Chorus)
• Re: Your Brains (Chorus)
• Still Alive (Duet Version)
