I learned of JoCo through the Valve video game, Portal, in which JoCo wrote the closing song, "Still Alive."  I loved it.
The rest of his work is also smart, amusing, sometimes twisted and always well produced.  As others pointed out, Zune library is missing some of his releases but they are all available on Amazon for download.

The Zune database is missing a criminal amount of his work, especially the 'Thing a Week' series.

You ever grab a greatest hits CD from a band you think you like, and every track begins to sound the same (DragonForce, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc.), but not so with JoCo. It's a shame that the Zune marketplace does not have his Thing a Week series, which contains such a wide variety of themes and styles. Ranging from the loving borderline creepy "Soft Rocked By Me" to the covers of "Famous Blue Raincoat" and, of course, the always popular "Baby Got Back." In short, you can find nearly everything in Coulton's music, whether you're an evil genius trying to woo a captive, or an average schmoe who enjoys Tab, Fritos, and Mountain Dew.

Jonathan Coulton is one of my favorite indi songwriters he has the sad he has the glad and he has geek and he has the sheik (lol) he just awesome
