Spotted this on Scott Johnson’s MyExtraLife blog (great comics and podcasts, I don’t know where he finds the time!) . Thought it was worth a repost over here at Geektown.  It’s a band called missFlag covering the fantastic ‘Still Alive’ from Portal (if you still haven’t played it, shame on you!). You can get an mp3 of it free from their site here. 

To announce the upcoming release of “Still Alive” as a download for Rock Band, Jonathan Coulton, the writer of the fantastic portal end theme song performed it live on stage at GDC 2008 using Rock Band, with some assistance from Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann and the lovely Veronica Belmont.
The awesomeness of this can not be understated.

Had a message off an old Everquest 2 guildie yesterday, to say he’s now in a band, and they’re first album has been released!
“Lolligag was formed in Columbus, Ohio in 2004. Our first album, Lemonade, was just released in the summer of 2007, and we’re currently just looking to play a little music and have a little fun with all our friends, whether we’ve known you for years or are just meeting you for the first time.”
Pretty cool stuff, go check out their MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/lolligag
