OK GOGH!
I was recently writing a piece for Guilt & Pleasure magazine about my chronic tinnitus and was mentioning Van Gogh - how some have suggested he had Meniere's Disease (with which I was once mistakenly diagosed) and that led me to make this:
OK GOGH!
OK GOGH!

The Bjorn Identity
In news from the far right...Bjorn appeared on Fox News' morning kids program Fox & Friends (at least, it sounds like a kids program) yesterday only to be stifled immediately upon the mention of air guitar leading to world peace. The interview was supposed to last another minute, but notice how they nervously cut directly to the performance.
"Be careful, he might just suggest we try to end the Iraq war using air guitars!!"
Bjorn Turoque also went on the NBC game show IDENTITY and earned some schmuck $250,000.
Who said air guitar could not be lucrative?

Air Guitar Nation Coming to Austin, Ft. Collins
"Air + Guitar = Genius! On a scale of zero to seven, we give it an eleven."
--David Ansen, Newsweek
Air Guitar Nation, the Citizen Kane of air guitar documentaries is coming to Austin, TX and Ft. Collins, CO this weekend.
This is a CRUCIAL weekend for the film - please get everyone you know to see it THIS WEEKEND or it will sadly disappear from theaters entirely.
Tons of critics and fans have raved about the movie...go find out why.
“****” -- TimeOut NY
"The movie's wild performances and droll humor are tough to resist. So are its obsessive yet self-mocking heroes: the Los Angeles-based actor David Jung, who performs as C-Diddy, who has a kung phooey stage persona and wears a Hello Kitty pouch like a warrior's breastplate; and the New York writer-musician Dan Crane, a k a Björn Turöque, whose parched wit and jackhammer performance style suggest Bill Murray trapped in the body of Sid Vicious. Mr. Crane also wrote and sang the closing credits theme, a garage band anthem that lodges in the brain like a fishhook."
--New York Times
"The documentary won an audience award at the South by Southwest music festival, among other film-festival accolades. But its hard-rockin' soundtrack and the energetic machinations of several dozen wannabe Eddie Van Halens provide a better reason to see "Air Guitar Nation": Judas Priest's "You Got Another Thing Comin'," Boston's "More Than a Feeling" and Mot–rhead's "Ace of Spades" all get, um, aired out in the film." -- LA Times
“It seriously rocks.” -- Salon.com
“Raucously entertaining...” --Paper
“Slick, hilarious, and at times even suspenseful...nary a dull lick in the entire 80 minutes.” -- Village Voice
"Hilarious. Equal measures of patriotism, showmanship and irony." -- Variety
"A feel-good underdog story..." --New York Magazine
"One of the most fun films you'll ever see. It's like Rocky with air guitars." -- Ain't it Cool News
"As one might expect, Air Guitar Nation is often hilarious...Perhaps even more remarkable is how readily the viewer is sucked into this surreal world." --High Times
"Air Guitar Nation is textured, well-crafted - and hilarious." --St. Louis Riverfront Times
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have out first Oscar contender of the year." -- FirstShowing.net
Advance tix available here
