Last one for now. I meant to leave on Kenny Loggins but kept listening to music

Sly and the Family Stone – I want to take you higher

I think I am posting my first repeat band of the day, but I listened to it before my cig so I felt I should share

David Bowie – Fame

Australian band. Proper sentiment.
(semi NSFW maybe tho)

You know those guitars that are, like, double guitars?

I’m just going to come right out and say it: Tina Fey does nothing for me comically or otherwise.

She’s just the female version of every sarcastic alpha–asshole I’ve ever met.

The thing about sarcastic alpha–assholes is, they don’t understand that their brand of punching-down is only funny to them. The fact that they’re putting down everyone in the room is lost on them because they think insulting everyone makes everyone else laugh. it doesn’t.

Now Amy…

That’s the ticket.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I like ’em both.

Sill Bimmons

The best comic on regular teevee right now is Sam Bee.

“You don’t get to regulate what people wear to work … If I get distracted wondering whether that yellow stain around your mouth is whiskers or just the lingering impression of a glory hole, that’s my problem not yours.”

Not the best woman comic. The best comic full stop.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I disagree on the Tina hate. But Amy > Tina without question.

Sill Bimmons

It’s not hate, just confusion.

I just don’t get the joke.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Never not funny.

Spanky Datass

Hoo boy …

I once heard Amy angrily state that she had never seen and never would see Star Wars. Sorry dude.

Spanky Datass

Oops she actually said she never “cared about Star Wars.” My bad.

Sill Bimmons

yo

stop misquoting amy dude

you also said you heard but then cited an article which is it bro

Spanky Datass

She says it in the video in the article, quite shrilly I might add. But yes, I was hasty/sloppy in my commenting. Once again, my bad.

Sill Bimmons

keep it up and you’ll lose your 12 bucks

Boyz to Men – So hard to say goodbye

Some Hives “Get Together to Tear It Apart”, my fave band with one of my favorite lyrics: “Gave my middle finger a brand new start”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TQrwzGkopfo

theeWeeBabySeamus

I like them a lot too.
Tick Tick Boom is in my handful of all time favorite songs.
In fact….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Gp56jnaIs

/shoulda been a go to in the original air guitar post anyway
//I blame myself

Don T

That album has my favorite Hives song, “You Got It All Wrong”. Which might be appropriate for Aussie Nazi friends https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pfsrjRQp8Z0

theeWeeBabySeamus

LMAO…you might be right.

Sill Bimmons

Is the guy on the far right their dad?

Don T

That’s Vigilante Carlstroem man! Mean with guitar hooks and fishing hooks. A nicer punk rocker is hard to find.

Sill Bimmons

He looks at least twenty years older than the rest of them.

Curently on endless loop, the best song you’ll never click on: Mexico’s finest, Café Tacuba, “Tan mal”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9b-iWg_TgE

theeWeeBabySeamus

See, this something I would try to hate. And fail miserably, but never admit it to anyone.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I enjoyed it, just letting you know one person did click on it

theeWeeBabySeamus

Two.
Listening to it right now as I type.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell – Aint no Mountain High Enough. I think this will be the last GotG soundtrack song. No promises

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C_3eYj-pOM

theeWeeBabySeamus

Just don’t link Escape/Pina Colada.
I do NOT want to have to admit to liking that.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And there is almost no chance I’m listening to it right now. 😉

theeWeeBabySeamus

This one always makes chuckle these days.
Long story.
Great song tho.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have time, as you can see I am just wasting time here. My main task for the day was going to get my sick dad sudafed and m&m’s

theeWeeBabySeamus

Meh…it has to do with a friend. My insanely hot Australian, narcissistic, increasingly anti-semitic friend whom I’ve mentioned a time or two recently. We are most currently on an indefinite “friendship hiatus”. Mostly due to all of the above qualities of hers.
But what brought it to a head was last summer she insisted that I tell her that I love her or she would never speak to me again.
comment image

The song you linked had some significance between the two of us over the years in our little “is it friendship or more?” dance.

We’ve exchanged minimal pleasantries since then, most recently about two weeks ago. She’s still just as insane and I’m hoping to never have contact again. But just like herpes, she’ll pop up again in a few months.

The Temptations – Papa was a rolling stone

Youtube took me to that one next as well.
Woooo!!!!!

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I know I posted a Temptations video earlier but I had gone 6 genres away. I have Spin Doctors ready to post

theeWeeBabySeamus

Go for it…is my vote.

Apparently there’s no Subway at the prison commissary…

Been listening to a lot of Motown lately…

Sounds exciting.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Well at least you fixed it and turned my dick comment around on myself. Otherwise I would be disappointed.
/still probably didn’t learn my lesson that you high priests have edit capabilities

theeWeeBabySeamus

I was. I mean who doesn’t love screaming kids on a plane and standing on line for a rental car? Living the dream!!!!

/seriously tho….happy to hear your father/family, the wedding and the food were all good tho. That really is what counts.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
theeWeeBabySeamus

That marsupial is totally shredding.

Kungjitsu

I wonder how to define “air guitar classic”. Is it a blistering solo? Is it an unforgettable riff? Is it porn where you know it when you hear it?

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh
Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

I would suggest not defining it and letting it be in the individual’s drug addled cranium.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I will follow that up with Dave Matthews and his probably best known song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzr7HKyHubk

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Wait, to clarify. I was not looking for Dave Matthews B sides, just random crap that was suggested while looking for other stuff. But yeah I like it.

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Have you ever had a friend who played a CD a million times as you drove to get high, but because of that you never know track names. I have that problem on many artists. I know the band names but the tracks I love tend to not always be the hits

Kungjitsu

I have that problem with most Jazz.

entropy

One thing I noticed in the 90s, track 3 on almost every CD was fucking amazing. The sheer number of times track 3 was the biggest hit was bizarrely high.

The Temptations – Just My Imagination

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5Z9-QCmZyw

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

No clue what got me here. Various false starts on other music I guess.

Al Green – Let’s get together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COiIC3A0ROM

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

I have posted Arctic Monkeys like 90 times, to the point I annoy myself. I would be lying if that is not the first song on this list I started with

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Really got into them recently. They have some serious jams. I’ve been trying to learn a cover of “R U Mine?” for a week now.

Teddy's Bridge Over Troubled Water

Lot of great stuff on here. This will be very effective in keeping my day unproductive.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I missed all but the very beginnings of the building of this original playlist last week.
Looking at the tracks, it’s interesting to me that even with a theme like “Air Guitar”, what an eclectic and diverse bunch of dicks we really are.
Lou Rawls? Not what most folks would consider air guitar material, but I mean who hasn’t sung that into a non-existent mic at one time or another?
Well done, peepuhl.
/hits play all

Marc Trestmans Windowless Van

Yeah. I posted the Lou Rawls with a clause it didn’t fit the theme

theeWeeBabySeamus

I think it actually did….’twasn’t just air guitar favs, in spite of the title.

laserguru

Bad ass.

Thanks Rikki and welcome home.

blaxabbath

Code? You mean our insightful accounts about why a song is ax-worthy really doesn’t matter?

It’s like going to the polling booth all over again….
