Iggy, Bowie Get Legofied For Lego Rock Band

thumbnail icon: Iggy, Bowie Get Legofied For Lego Rock Band

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.

"More musicians on the way"?

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.
