"Indie pop? Folk rock? Americana? Geez, who cares?" I don't. And you shouldn't either. Just enjoy Scott Andrew's "American Thing" without worrying about the music genre.

Energetic folk-rock song from William Brooks: "A Different State of Mind". Some parts remind me a bit of the music from The Rocky Horror Picture Show...

Here is one (very funny) song out of many, many more which Jonathan Coulton has made available under a Creative Commons license. "Betty and Me" is a great, hilarious song. Pay close attention to the lyrics ;-)

If you like the songs, please consider buying one of Jonathan's CDs. He also has a nice campaign up currently:

This is sort of a protest - I will write and record one song a week and post it on Friday from now until someone starts paying me to do it. I guess technically then I will need to keep doing it, but you see what I’m saying. None of these are on a CD yet, so if you like them and you want more, please donate to me whatever you think is fair so I can keep doing them.
