Thing a Week

When Jonathan Coulton quit his day job to pursue music full-time, one of his co-workers suggested that he release a song each week for a year. He took this challenge, partly as a way of keeping focused, and produced one new song each week for what was effectively a weekly podcast. The approximate year ran from September 16, 2005 (See You All in Hell) to September 30, 2006 (We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions). The resulting 52 tracks included many original songs, some covers, one mash-up, and a few songs based largely or entirely on sampled or synthesized vocals. Some of the original songs had a previous history, having been performed or recorded earlier, but many were truly novel works.
