I know I throw up a lot of stuff on here with no introductions or lead ins, but really, most of the time it doesn't need it. In this case however, I'd like to say that if you like the Techno Viking and think Henry Rollins is a pompous curmudgeon then this is the video for you.
Mr. Porter takes Henry ranting about techno and rave culture (Uh, does anybody even care about this? I mean, we all know it sucks Henry, but thanks once again for illuminating the obvious for us.) and turns it into Henry singing and dancing to his own little techno tune. He also throws in the Techno Viking for good measure.
Way to go Mr. Porter!

Not that it's real hard to make HR look douchey, but that was genius.
-
What did in Hank's image for good for me was his TV show on IFC.
He might as well have gotten down on his knees and sucked people's dicks. Seeing him go fanboy over Ben Stiller or Marilyn Manson was pretty disgusting - even Jay Leno was tougher on his guests than HR.

1. That's fucking hilarious!
2. I like Henry Rollins. He's definitely kind of a douche, but I like him anyway.
3. I also like a lot of techno (or if not techno, at least electronic music), as well as liking NIN a whole lot (HR also supposedly hates NIN)
4. ...which makes it seem kinda weird that he'd be a Manson fanboy, no?
5. But anyway I never saw that show... maybe I'm glad I never did.

Yeah. I was really surprised by the fanboy act. It was ok with some of the guests, like Gore Vidal. I like Gore Vidal's books a lot, so I could see being excited to interview him.
Manson's music is boring and his shock act is derivative of better performers. That interview was pretty terrible, with HR throwing out compliments and looking like he was in love while Manson sat there completely disinterested and probably high as shit on something.
It was also pretty bad to see him gush over Ben Stiller, but not really surprising since they both hit their peak in the mid-early 90s. He's put out a lot of dreadful movies, though. I basically assume that any movie starring Ben Stiller is going to be terrible and am pleasantly surprised when they're watchable.
Those two interviews sprung to mind, but he was a fanboy with everyone that came on the show. He did often have really good musical guests, though, so it was worth Tivoing the show while it was on.
Anyway, I was fine with a the curmudgeon, prickish, sometimes self-righteous persona. It's just the spreading your ass cheeks wide and fawning all over any pop culture figure willing to grace you with their presence I found disgusting.

I love hearing shitty musicians bash other shitty musicians.

You mean Adam Sandler, right?
Same thing. Unfunny Jews. Nothing worse than an unfunny Jew.
-
Adam Sandler at least put out comedy albums that made me laugh when I was 15.

Ahh man, a Paslode? You couldnt drive a nail into jello with one of those.
-
The fuck you can't. I have both the framing gun and the trim gun. It goes through your Ozzer Hardi-stuff and into Douglas fir like jello.

we were pricing nailing guns today - no dice!

Yeah the pair set me back about 7 bills.

That video is just damned awesome. In the truest sense of the word.
