Episode 103: Jonathan Coulton, muxtape vs. mixwit, rock band vs. itunes

After a long hiatus, we are back with a ton of news and contributions from MIX, plus we're announcing our licensing partnership with the good folks at Revision3! This week's FU is served by Jonathan Coulton, the ultimate geek rock star.

Watch it here.

Okay never heard of this show till now but all I can say is Epic fu is an Epic win.

question will it ever be a tad longer(15 min at the least 30 at most)

So loved this and keep it coming!

I have mixed feelings.

I'll tune in next week to see if things have changed.

The plan is for multiple releases per week. At this point, it is twice a week.

Really liked the show looking froward to see more.

I had seen this around somewhere but never got around to watching. Downloading now.

Hm. I think I've seen Zadi/this before, or at least something very similar (though y'know, I think it might've been a little less specific in its content...)

I think I actually like it... I'm not keen on the random jump cuts all over the place, but the content seems like it could be interesting. Zadi's occasionally borderline cringeworthy sometimes, but not so much I've quit watching before the end. I'll probably watch a couple more as they come out to work out whether I like it or not.

hey zadi,

d/k if she's on the forums yet, but big fan since mid-07. good idea jumping over to rev3. glad to see the fu is finally back after that long hiatus!

I like the editing. This show format and this girl are familiar, when I downloaded Miro I saw her on something. Not bad, I will be watching and I like the length.

I watched a couple episodes a few weeks back and really liked it, just never got into the habit of hitting up the website on a regular basis. Pretty spiffy now that it's on Revision3.

As for the editing, seems that it's always been a bit jumpy, so if you're not used to it, it can throw you. I don't mind the editing, I think it works pretty well for the show format, kind of like a throwback to the earlier days of web video (or an old episode of Max Headroom). Some of it might be covering up, but I think a large chunk of it is for the artistic effect. Plus it keeps you from staring too long. Lol.

I also agree that it being longer would be cool, but it's also going to be on twice a week, so I think that pretty much makes up for it.

Can't wait to see how it pans out going forward.
