AIR COVER OF JOB FOR A COWBOY’S “ENTOMBMENT OF A MACHINE”

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 at 11:30am by

No, I don’t mean that the pop duo from France covered Job for a Cowboy (although that would be potentially awesome, too). I mean that a group of kids got together, and each one took a fake air instrument – air guitar, air drums, etc. – and they made this video. Yes, I know that’s retarded, but they seem pretty aware of how retarded it is, and the amount of thought they put into it – right down to close-ups of a kid’s feet doing absolutely no real double bass drumming – make it a worthy endeavor. Well, maybe not “worthy,” but… you get the point.

I suspect that someone smarter (or maybe just higher) than me could make an argument that there’s a profoundly meta statement being made here – the emperor has no clothes, or something cliché like that – but I’m just going to continue to enjoy it as the best viral JFAC tribute since that Spongebob Squarepants thing.

    The only viral tribute JFAC deserves is a face full of smallpox.

    whether they admit it or not, everyone metal fan plays air drums or air guitar at some point when they are listening to one of their favorite bands. these guys captured it pretty well.

    screwing around with your buddies while listening to some tunes = +1

  • I’m not racst, but I hate Oceano

    Something about this song makes me flail around so ridiculously. It’s not really technical or fast or has really good breakdowns but it’s just got this really intense energy to it. I don’t care what people say.

    I play air guitar in my car quite a bit on my way to work… and occasionally out of nowhere when I have a song stuck in my head. My wife has accepted this and loves me regardless, which is nice.

    Still, I’m not going to record myself doing this and upload it to YouTube, and I don’t see why anyone else would bother.

    Yeah, but c’mon, folks… the video of Meshuggah air-playing New Millenium Cyanide Christ on the tourbus is where It is at. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A_tSyJBsRQ
