"'''Chiron Beta Prime'''" is a song on [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s fifth album, ''[[Thing a Week Two]]''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
"Chiron Beta Prime" was originally written around Christmastime 2004 at the request of a friend of Jonathan's who wanted a "Christmas song with a futuristic theme" to send out on a CD as a holiday card. It was later released as the twenty-first [[Thing a Week]] on February 17th, 2006.<br />
<br />
== Live performance ==<br />
"Chiron Beta Prime" is performed somewhat regularly at Jonathan Coulton concerts. If performing with [[Paul and Storm]], they will usually join Jonathan by doing backup vocals for the chorus. Also, Jonathan occasionally selects a member of the audience (or sometimes a "guest star") to do the "MESSAGE REDACTED" line. In more recent shows, that person is also given the opportunity to vocalize the keyboard solo (made famous by fan [[Andy Bates]]) and join in on the third chorus.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The phrase "soylent green" in the song refers to a [[wikipedia:Soylent_Green|Charlton Heston movie of the same name]] where in the dark, dystopian future, an overcrowded population eats processed food wafers that are secretly made from dead people.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
=== Downloads ===<br />
"Chiron Beta Prime" is currently only available for purchase in the Jonathan Coulton MP3 Store as an [[joco:songdetails/Chiron+Beta+Prime|individual track]] or as part of ''[[joco:albums//thing-a-week-ii/|Thing a Week II]]''. Of course this song is also included as part of the "Everything" playlist.<br />
<br />
Downloadable FLAC versions of the above are available in the [[joco:store/flac/|Jonathan Coulton FLAC Store]].<br />
<br />
=== CD ===<br />
"Thing a Week II" is available for purchase as a CD [http://cdbaby.com/cd/coulton4 here].<br />
<br />
=== Other versions ===<br />
A karaoke version of "Chiron Beta Prime" is available on the [[joco:store/karaoke/|Jonathan Coulton Karaoke Store]].<br />

}}<br />
"'''The Presidents'''" is a song on [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s sixth album, ''[[Thing a Week Three]]''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
"The Presidents" was released as the thirtieth [[Thing a Week]] on April 28, 2006. It was originally written for [[John Hodgman]]'s [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/wiki/index.php/Little_Gray_Books Little Gray Book]Lecture #30, "How to Observe Presidents Day (Observed)". Jonathan said it was originally performed with the [http://hungrymarchband.com/hungryhome.php Hungry March Band], who played "Hail to the Chief" in between verses. The Thing a Week version instead has Jonathan playing toy instruments. <br />
<br />
== Live Performance ==<br />
As indicated above, "The Presidents" was originally played only during a Little Gray Lecture [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xmzwda9utrx (Download MP3)]; it has more recently made its way back to the lineup, being performed at the Barack Obama fundraiser [[New York, NY: 2008-09-15|Audacity of Jokes]], several of the stops for the [[John Hodgman]] More Information Than You Require tour, and the [[Nyack, NY: 2008-11-22]] show. <br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* There was construction on the other side of the studio wall during the recording of this session. Jonathan has said: "You may hear some of it here and there, but hey: this is Thing a Week, people."<br />
* [[Wikipedia:James Garfield|President Garfield]] was, contrary to the lyrics, assassinated in 1881, not 1882. Jonathan corrected this during the above mentioned live performance with a lyric change to "Grant thought getting drunk was fun".<br />
*After the 2008 election, the song has been played with revised lyrics:<br />
<lyrics><br />
W's reign of terror is finally over<br />
Obama's been pretty excellent so far<br />
</lyrics><br />
<br />
originally, it was <br />
<lyrics><br />
W's legacy's a work in progress.<br />
That is all the Presidents so far.<br />
</lyrics><br />
<br />
In 2009, the George W. Bush lyric was again changed at the March 27th NYC show to:<br />
<lyrics><br />
W decided he was the decider<br />
</lyrics><br />
<br />
It's currently unknown if any of these will be the permanent lyrics moving forward.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
<br />
=== Downloads ===<br />
"The Presidents" is currently only available for purchase in the Jonathan Coulton MP3 Store as an [[joco:songdetails/The+Presidents|individual track]] or as part of ''[[joco:albums//thing-a-week-iii/|Thing a Week III]]''.

=== Notes: ===<br />
* According to Jonathan, this was the premiere of [[Space Doggity]].<br />
* Both "Piano Man" and "Sledgehammer" resulted from particularly, shall we say, persistent members of the audience.<br />
* Earlier in the day, Jonathan and Paul and Storm had gone to visit the [[Wikipedia:Harmonix Music Systems|Harmonix]] studios (as Jonathan had done a year ago before the [[Somerville, MA: 2007-10-05|Somerville show]]) to experiment with some new Rock Band features, and they were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement at the time. They had played an unspecified [[Wikipedia:Alanis Morissette|Alanis Morissette]] song, which the Harmonix people requested again mid-show. Paul responded by singing, "Hand in My Pocket," as part of the [[Soft Rocked By Me]] Medley, ending it with, "I've got one hand in my pocket / and the other one's flipping off Harmonix," with accompanying hand gestures.<br />

"'''Space Doggity'''" is [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s entry to the Final Challenge of the song writing competition [[Masters of Song Fu]]. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
The [http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/2008/07/24/masters-of-song-fu-1-final-challenge-voting-begins/ Final Challenge] read:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>THE REIMAGINING (aka THE RECKONING): For this final duel between Master and Challenger, we're going to combine a little bit of all the previous challenges. For this ultimate show of skill, adaptability, and personality, you will be given a preexisting song. Your task is to completely reimagine that song with your own lyrics and music - while retaining the same basic story and at least some sonic "cue" or "quote" from the original tune (a short phrase or series of chord changes; the key word here is "brief"). THIS IS NOT A COVER - you are crafting something more akin to an homage, but with your own creative voice. Here is the song you’ll be reimagining:<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
'''DAVID BOWIE: "SPACE ODDITY"'''<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
You will be judged on how closely your reimagining hits the basic "story points" - spaceman goes up, spaceman talks with control, spaceman goes for a walk, spaceman disappears - but beyond that, anything goes.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
The song must be at least 1min 45sec, and must be an original creation.</blockquote><br />
<br />
Jonathan had this to say when announcing the song on [[joco:2008/07/24/song-fu-final-challenge/|his blog]]:<br />
<br><br />
<blockquote>Yes you're right, I almost went with the first monkey in space, but I didn't want to be accused of going overboard with the monkeys. So I went with the first dog in space instead.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
Her name was Laika and she went up in Sputnik 2. In doing my "research" I discovered that Russian scientists recently released the truth about what happened to her during the launch, which is that she died just a few hours into it, and not after a week as they originally claimed. She died from stress and overheating (the cooling system malfunctioned and it was 104F in there) but mostly she died from being LAUNCHED INTO SPACE IN A FUCKING ROCKET.</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Live Performance ==<br />
"Space Doggity" made its concert premiere at the [[Boston, MA: 2008-11-21]] show, and was played again the following evening at the [[Nyack, NY: 2008-11-22]] show. It's currently unknown if Space Doggity will continue to be part of the concert setlist.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* In his blog entry, Jonathan indicates that he uses another musical thematic reference after the guitar solo. Several people guessed that it was Paul McCartney's "''Venus and Mars''", but it was later confirmed by an email with Jonathan that it is Pink Floyd's "''Dogs''".<ref>[http://www.jonathancoulton.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=793&page=2#Item_5 Forum Post]</ref><br />

"'''The Presidents'''" is a song on [[Jonathan Coulton]]'s sixth album, ''[[Thing a Week Three]]''.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
"The Presidents" was released as the thirtieth [[Thing a Week]] on April 28, 2006. It was originally written for [[John Hodgman]]'s [[Little Gray Books]] Lecture #30, "How to Observe Presidents Day (Observed)". Jonathan said it was originally performed with the [http://hungrymarchband.com/hungryhome.php Hungry March Band], who played "Hail to the Chief" in between verses. The Thing a Week version instead has Jonathan playing toy instruments. <br />
<br />
== Live Performance ==<br />
As indicated above, "The Presidents" was originally played only during a Little Gray Lecture [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xmzwda9utrx (Download MP3)]; it has more recently made its way back to the lineup, being performed at the Barack Obama fundraiser [[New York, NY: 2008-09-15|Audacity of Jokes]], several of the stops for the [[John Hodgman]] More Information Than You Require tour, and the [[Nyack, NY: 2008-11-22]] show. <br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* There was construction on the other side of the studio wall during the recording of this session. Jonathan has said: "You may hear some of it here and there, but hey: this is Thing a Week, people."<br />
* [[Wikipedia:James Garfield|President Garfield]] was, contrary to the lyrics, assassinated in 1881, not 1882. Jonathan corrected this during the above mentioned live performance with a lyric change to "Grant thought getting drunk was fun".<br />
*After the 2008 election, the song has been played with revised lyrics:<br />
<lyrics><br />
W's reign of terror is finally over<br />
Obama's been pretty excellent so far<br />
</lyrics><br />

=== Notes: ===<br />
* According to Jonathan, this was the premiere of [[Space Doggity]].<br />
* Both "Piano Man" and "Sledgehammer" resulted from particularly, shall we say, persistent members of the audience.<br />
* Earlier in the day, Jonathan and Paul and Storm had gone to visit the [[Wikipedia:Harmonix Music Systems|Harmonix]] studios (as Jonathan had done a year ago before the [[Somerville, MA: 2007-10-05|Somerville show]]). They had played an unspecified [[Wikipedia:Alanis Morissette|Alanis Morissette]] song, which the Harmonix people requested again mid-show. Paul responded by singing, "Hand in My Pocket," as part of the [[Soft Rocked By Me]] Medley, ending it with, "I've got one hand in my pocket / and the other one's flipping off Harmonix," with accompanying hand gestures.<br />

'''Battle of Galactica''' is a song written for the reading tour to support [[John Hodgman]]'s new book, "More Information Than You Require". The song, intentionally misnamed to echo an anecdote in the book, is about the sexual tension between humans and robots on the television show "Battlestar Galactica", and is sung to the tune of the original television show's theme song.<br />
<br />
== Live performance ==<br />
"Battle of Galactica" was performed at the premier of the "More Information Than You Require" in [[New York, NY: 2008-10-21|New York City on October 21st, 2008]] and then again at the [[Brookline, MA: 2008-10-22|October 22nd, 2008 Brookline show]]. It is assumed it will be performed at other stops of the tour when Jonathan rejoins John.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
It was announced at the event that the reading will eventually appear at www.barnesandnoble.com/bn-studio. It is unknown when this will occur.<br />

<br />
*JoCo started this show by announcing to the audience that the marker pen in the green room didn't work so he had no set list for the show. This led to a lot of audience participation regarding song choice. This in itself led to some interesting moments and may end up being a very different set to the rest of this tour.<br><br />
<br />
*Jonathan played the first verse-partial chorus of Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Freebird' when it was called out in jest by two audience members after a slew of his own songs had been shouted out.<br><br />
<br />
*The song "When You Go" was suggested by JoeCovenant and taken up by JoCo- But it was badly messed up at the chorus, much to JoCo's disgust, but this led to an amusing moment where he asked the audience to bear with him while he worked it out.<br><br />
<br />
*JoeCovenant was invited onto stage to put in the "Message Redacted" comment during Chiron Beta Prime, and can be heard singing harmony to the last chorus.<br><br />
(This also led to some video footage being shot from the stage itself!)<br><br />
<br />
*The end of the show was a surprise to everyone, JoCo included. He announced he would play his "last song" and then pretend to go off and we would applaud and he would then come back and do some more songs. This happened, but he was then told from the wings that he only had 5 mins left, as the venue had to start striking his stage to set up for another gig at 10 instead of 10:30. So instead of another 10-20 minutes, the only encore played was his intended last song "I Feel Fantastic".<br><br />

He announced he would play his "last song" and then pretend to go off and we would applaud and he would then come back and do some more songs. This happened, but he was then told from the wings that he only had 5 mins left, as the venue had to start striking his stage to set up for another gig at 10 instead of 10:30. So instead of another 10-20 minutes, the only encore played was his intended last song "I Feel Fantastic".<br><br />

"'''Sweet Information'''" is a song by [[Jonathan Coulton]] that was initially created as [[John Hodgman]]'s theme song during the audio recording of [[Little Gray Books]] Lecture #29, "How to Communicate Without the Use of Wires." It was intended for potential use as the radio theme song for the lecture series, which at the time was being pitched to NPR and other broadcast companies as a potential radio series. <br />
<br />
The lyrics for the same theme song were eventually rewritten to become the theme song used for the book tour, and later the opening song to the audiobook version of John's book, ''The Areas of My Expertise'', and then re-written again as the theme song for the ''More Information Than You Require'' book tour as well.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
The final verse of "Sweet Information" is only available as a free download from [[Spiff]]'s collection of Jonathan Coulton acoustic recordings [http://www.spiffworld.com/unplugged/ here].<br />
<br />
The full Areas of my Expertise theme song can also be heard also on YouTube videos taken by audience members at various book tour venues, such as this one in Washington DC: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=fpmWZST_GZU&feature=related].<br />
<br />
The full Little Gray Book version of the theme song as first used in Philadelphia PA can be heard on the public radio website PRX at this location:<br />

<div>'''John Kellogg Hodgman''' (born June 3 <ref>[http://awryone.blogspot.com/2008/06/happy-birthday-john.html "Happy Birthday, John!"], on [[awryone]]'s blog</ref>, 1971) is an American author and humorist who is best known for his personification of a PC in Apple's "Get a Mac" advertising campaign and his correspondent work on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart". He has also written for McSweeney's, worked as a literary agent (his clients included actor [[Wikipedia:Bruce_Campbell|Bruce Campbell]] and [[Supergroup]] member and author [[Darin Strauss]]), and guest-starred as the "deranged millionaire" for [[wikipedia:They_Might_Be_Giants|They Might Be Giants]] on the videos for their "Venue Songs" album.<br />
<br />
Hodgman and [[Jonathan Coulton]] became friends after meeting as freshmen at [[Wikipedia:Yale University|Yale University]]. They have worked together on many projects.<br />
<br />
== [http://www.littlegraybooks.com/ Little Gray Books] ==<br />
<br />
''For main article, see [[Little Gray Books]]''<br />
<br />
Inspired by the 1920s collection of pamphlets [http://www.library.okstate.edu/scua/collect/littlebluebook/index.htm Little Blue Books], one of which John's mother gave him when he became a literary agent (#1143, "''How to Prepare a Manuscript''",.<ref>http://www.mediabistro.com/articles/cache/a452.asp</ref> John served as master of ceremonies for a series of variety lectures, with Jonathan as "musical director." It became the source of many Jonathan Coulton originals that were reproduced for [[Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow]] or [[Thing a Week]], as well as some released as [[Other Experiments]].<br />
<br />
== The Areas of My Expertise ==<br />
As his debut as an author, Hodgman wrote the book ''The Areas of My Expertise'', a humorous "almanac" of distorted, misinterpreted, or merely erroneous facts, based in part on material from the Little Gray Book lectures. Jonathan accompanied him on the promotional book tour, typically being called upon to perform "Furry Old Lobster".<br />
<br />
A large portion of the book pertains to a mythical history of hoboes, including a list of "700 Hobo Names." A [http://www.archive.org/download/700HoboNames/Hobo_Names.mp3 promotional track], released on the [http://www.areasofmyexpertise.com/hoboes.html book's website], has Hodgman reading the entire list aloud while Jonathan plays an acoustic version of "Big Rock Candy Mountain", as the website has it, "''live'', for an hour, one take." This track also makes up one entire CD of the "Areas of My Expertise" audiobook, which also features Coulton exchanging banter with Hodgman and performing "Furry Old Lobster".<br />
<br />
It has been revealed that ''Areas'' is actually the first book in a trilogy planned by Hodgman.<ref>''The Areas of My Expertise'' (paperback), page 252. Note that this is in the appendix, which is exclusive to the paperback edition.</ref> On June 23rd, John attended [[New York, NY: 2008-06-23|a reading]] for [[Darin Strauss]]' new book and read a sample of his upcoming second book ''More Information Than You Require'', and has since indicated on Twitter <ref>[https://twitter.com/hodgman/statuses/846411823 Twitter post #1]</ref> that there will be a book tour in October, similar to the Little Gray Book lectures, and that Jonathan will be involved in some parts of the tour. <ref>[https://twitter.com/hodgman/statuses/846516887 Twitter post #2]</ref><br />
<br />
== More Information Than You Require ==<br />
"''More Information Than You Require''", the sequel to ''Areas'', was released on October 21st, 2008. A book tour was announced, and began on that date with an appearance in [[New York, NY: 2008-10-21|New York City]]. Jonathan appeared at the show and in addition to playing several songs, premiered a new song: [[Battle of Galactica]]. Jonathan is scheduled to appear at a number of cities on the tour.<br />
<br />
== Attack of the Show ==<br />
<br />
Also as part of the "Areas of My Expertise" promotional tour, in February of 2006, Hodgman and Coulton appeared on "Attack of the Show," a tech-related show which runs daily on G4. During their appearance, Coulton again performed "Furry Old Lobster."<br />
<br />
== Thing A Week Liner Notes ==<br />
Hodgman also wrote the liner notes for the four [[Thing A Week]] CDs.<br />

'''Battle of Galactica''' is a song written for the reading tour to support [[John Hodgman]]'s new book, "More Information Than You Require".

<br />

"Battle of Galactica" was performed at the premier of the "More Information Than You Require" in [[New York, NY: 2008-10-21|New York City on October 21st, 2008]]. It is assumed it will be performed at other stops of the tour.<br />
<br />
== Availability ==<br />
It was announced at the event that the reading will eventually appear at www.barnesandnoble.com/bn-studio. It is unknown when this will occur.<br />
