About Me

For the soul. For the club. For the ride. For the love of music."What I Give" is on Dane Cook's Tourgasm Soundtrack!The soundtrack to Dane Cook's signature tour and behind-the-scenes series spotlights music from unsigned bands, personally selected by Cook and featured on the HBO series. The disc's 24 tracks are evenly split between a dozen comedic snippets from Cook and friends and a dozen songs that appeared in the show. Tourgasm opens with "Dimension" from the hard-rocking Australian trio Wolfmother and continues with a diverse array of tracks from some of today's best unsigned rock bands.
