Holy fucking shit, Ian McShane will play Wednesday in the “American Gods” adaptation on Starz.

Jesse Ventura’s radio and web teevee shows are called “Off The Grid.”
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnmOvF6NCEA
Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siwpn14IE7E
Current song
ELO – Showdown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mmx68VmTEo
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-_30HA7rec
Australian band. Proper sentiment.
(semi NSFW maybe tho)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw1uhv0L9Cw
David Bowie – Golden Years
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRD0ghlFSgk
Dammit, now I’m on a Hives tangent.
I blame Don T.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysGtBZX32I0
I will continue my jumping genres for no reason
Tears for Fears – Everybody wants to rule the world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxx6apKvtis
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.
I like ’em both.
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.
I disagree on the Tina hate. But Amy > Tina without question.
It’s not hate, just confusion.
I just don’t get the joke.
Never not funny.

Hoo boy …
I once heard Amy angrily state that she had never seen and never would see Star Wars. Sorry dude.
Oops she actually said she never “cared about Star Wars.” My bad.
http://variety.com/2015/film/news/star-wars-amy-poehler-sisters-seth-meyers-1201665089/
yo
stop misquoting amy dude
you also said you heard but then cited an article which is it bro
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.
keep it up and you’ll lose your 12 bucks
Boyz to Men – So hard to say goodbye
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VastXQ_hPb0
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
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
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
LMAO…you might be right.
Is the guy on the far right their dad?
That’s Vigilante Carlstroem man! Mean with guitar hooks and fishing hooks. A nicer punk rocker is hard to find.
He looks at least twenty years older than the rest of them.
Lynch Mob – No Bed of Roses
(For Megan Fox fans, this particular version is worth watching, not just listening)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFfvg-7PZuc
White Men Can’t Crunk – We Ballin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsvlm-6kUek
Lionel Richie – Hello
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDZcqBgCS74
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
See, this something I would try to hate. And fail miserably, but never admit it to anyone.
I enjoyed it, just letting you know one person did click on it
Two.
Listening to it right now as I type.
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
Just don’t link Escape/Pina Colada.
I do NOT want to have to admit to liking that.
And there is almost no chance I’m listening to it right now. 😉
The Five Stairsteps – OOH Child
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmpU_73CXxU
REM – Orange Crush
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mSmOcmk7uQ
10CC – I’m not in love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtBHfxU2wmc
This one always makes chuckle these days.
Long story.
Great song tho.
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
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.
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.
Jackson 5 – The Love You Save
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nNxzQsQheQ
I ended up on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. I promise only like 3 more songs off it. Maybe 5 or 6
Elvin Bishop – Fooled around and fell in love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyMMEmwFQUE
Jackson 5 – I want you back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGDyAb6pePo
Great song.
And man, you are all over the map today.
/not complaining
//pretty much my style as well
Spin Doctors – Two Princes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6XmNoauuOo
Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong
(which has sadly been way too apropos way too often)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWbMu4PtpE
100% only got here because of WBS
The Temptations – Papa was a rolling stone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We4-lJe0JRY
Youtube took me to that one next as well.
Woooo!!!!!
I know I posted a Temptations video earlier but I had gone 6 genres away. I have Spin Doctors ready to post
Go for it…is my vote.

Okay, so I’ve had a chance to unwind a bit and am a little more coherent. The bullet points of the trip:
Sounds exciting.
I was trying to play around with bullet points. Guess I should have posted the text before I started tinkering.
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
I probably should have just kept quiet and made it seem like you were giving me a compliment.
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.
Roo-guitar.

That marsupial is totally shredding.
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?
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view2/4475469/danny-devito-air-guitar-o.gif
I would suggest not defining it and letting it be in the individual’s drug addled cranium.
I will follow that up with Dave Matthews and his probably best known song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzr7HKyHubk
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.
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
I have that problem with most Jazz.
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
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
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
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.
Lot of great stuff on here. This will be very effective in keeping my day unproductive.
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/1036837/athf-carl-air-guitar-o.gif
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
Yeah. I posted the Lou Rawls with a clause it didn’t fit the theme
I think it actually did….’twasn’t just air guitar favs, in spite of the title.
Bad ass.
Thanks Rikki and welcome home.
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….
