Rock Band seemed a lock to own fake-guitar-gamer discourse with their Beatles installment, but they didn’t count on Guitar Hero‘s classy Cobain maneuvering. Still, the battle for most ridiculous mock-musician timesuck springs eternal: Meet Lego Rock Band, the video game that finally allows you to pretend-play songs as lego versions of rock icons. You may be wondering how this makes sense in any way, but think about it: legos hands are perfectly shaped to hold fake mics. It’s hand science. Here’s a video-report on the game, and the trailer trumpeting Bowie’s participation. Points for varying Bowie’s iris hues, at least.

    Pay attention Nirvana…at least this would have been cute, rather than the GH disaster…

  10. I laughed when I saw how they made Iggy’s lego self look like he has love handles. If they make Flight of the Conchords lego people, I’m in.
