Interview Conducted August 2009
by Jackie Lee King
Please find attached the final and completed interview with Mr. Coulton. It has come to management's attention that many of employees have been listening to his "geek culture" songs and have been downloading his music from the Internet. This is a practice that we do not support. Although we do recognize his genius when it comes to his deadpan comedic performances that often inspire many to go out and appropriate his music to compose art, parody videos [Editors Note: Ironic], and even a dance craze or two (i.e. the song "Code Monkey")
It is very brave for Mr. Coulton to have left his corporate job many years ago, in the midst of having his second baby. No, he did not have the baby, his wife did. Upon leaving his programming position he set out to complete 52 songs in 52 weeks with his 'Thing a Week' project. Upon successfully completing this task he set out to bring his music to the masses though mini-tours across this great nation of ours. This is documented in his current DVD release, "The Best Concert Ever," though the ideals and stories continued herein do not necessarily represent the opinions of our parent corporation, nor its affiliates; Mr. Coulton is out there on his own. We do not support the abuse zombies, monkeys, (evil) geniuses, or any of the individuals who may be subject of his commentary. We have zero-tolerance for Henchmen that support his silly songs. The abridged, sanitized, and cleaned up and compliant version of the interview follows.
