A thirtysomething identity crisis can take many forms; Dan Crane's involved a jumpsuit, alcohol, and simulated six-string action to ''Rock You Like a Hurricane.'' He chronicles his obsessive three-year adventure on the competitive air-guitar circuit as the Nietzsche-quoting Björn Töroque in amusing detail in To Air Is Human — from breaking an air string to hitting on air groupies — while seeking meaning in a farcical art form (''It was...the manifestation of nothing, rendered visible''). Devil horns for this reductive takedown of L.A.: ''They got the fake t--s, the fake smiles, and they've even got fake air guitars.''
