Classic-Castler Maedhros may not listen to the same music I listen to, but the minifig versions of his favorite bands are really rather cool. The mohawk on this guy in Diary of Dreams is awesome: Goth rockers Bauhaus: Fields of the Nephilim: And finally, Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes: See all of Maedhros’ musical minifigs Continue reading →
Heavy Metal Minifigs
I love building musical minifigs, but my taste in music generally runs to indie and alternative rock, and those bands pretty much all look alike in minifig form (white guys in T-shirts and blue jeans). Thankfully, I was chatting with Nelson Yrizarry and he suggested using Voldemort’s face for Alice Cooper. Hurray! :twisted: How could Continue reading →
Album Art by Taka Hamada
I’ve featured LEGO album art by Digger Digger Dogstar and minifig, I don’t think I’ve ever highlighted Taka Hamada’s extensive collection. Pink Floyd’s The Division Bell (1994): Mr. Big’s self-titled debut (1989): Björk’s Medúlla (2004):
Lego, Lego me do. You know I Lego you!
Digger Digger Dogstar does it again! Here’s his version of Please Please Me:
Plastic soul, man, plastic soul!
Thus said Paul McCartney on take 1 of “I’m Down” — the phrase that inspired the album title Rubber Soul, here recreated through the genius that is Digger Digger Dogstar: Plastic soul indeed.
LEGO at SXSW

My gallery of musical minifigs on Brickshelf was recently featured on THE 9 on Yahoo! (they’re at number 8): Check out the gallery on Brickshelf, but I’ve been keeping the photoset on Flickr a bit more up to date. Sweet! Thanks to Azaghal from Classic-Castle.com for letting me know! I totally missed this, and didn’t Continue reading →
Minifig’s so versatile…
I’m a huge fan of minifig. As if he didn’t already have the best user name ever, he makes awesome vignettes and, of course, minifigs. It’s been a while since his last series of figs, but his latest includes the boys from New York, the Beastie Boys from their “Intergalactic” video: Add to Del.icio.us | Continue reading →
Do the LEGO Numa Numa Dance!
Some love him, others hate him. Either way, Gary Brolsma became an internet icon when he did his Numa Numa Dance in 2004. When browsing YouTube, I came across — of all things — a LEGO version of the dance. It’s not really brickfilming, but it’s still cool. Check it out! Here’s the original film, Continue reading →
