Jonathan Coulton and Paul And Storm at Majestic TheatreThere’s no better way of making love to your inner geek than spending the evening with troubadour Jonathan Coulton. The man slings ditties about science and technology the way most rockers navigate sex, drugs, and fame—and he does it with a big, gooey heart-on. Internet chart-toppers like “Code Monkey” and a buttery folk cover of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back” are the ones the nerds are bound to scream out, but it’s hummers like “First Of May” (inspired by a collegiate rhyme whose next line is “outdoor fucking starts today”) that are bound to win over even those not in the Mandelbrot set.Majestic Theatre 115 King St., Madison, WI
