I don’t quite have Belle and Sebastian figured out, but maybe that’s why I like them so much. Perhaps I’m arriving at the B&S party a bit late, but I got started with The Life Pursuit and keep working my way backward through their catalog.
Christoph (Flickr) has been recreating their album art in LEGO for a while. His latest is Step into My Office, Baby (
):
He also recently built a LEGO version of the vaguely disturbing cover for Tigermilk ():
Check out Christoph’s other Belle and Sebastian album covers on Flickr (also featured here on The Brothers Brick last year).
Joanna on Flickr has a pair of really great LEGO album cover recreations.
Here’s White Blood Cells by the White Stripes ():

Ian Mackinnon obliges with this strange and gorgeous rendition (with a hat-tip to reader wb):

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity, Firefly, and now Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog — everything that Joss Whedon touches turns to gold.
Here’s my take on a scene from Act II of Dr. Horrible:
Go watch all three episodes for yourself on DrHorrible.com (before the end of the day today, though — they’ll be gone after midnight, July 20).
UPDATE: For those of you who missed the free viewing, you can download all three episodes of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog from the Music Store:
LEGO creations inspired by Joss Whedon previously featured on The Brothers Brick:
BBC DJs Adam and Joe are hosting a “Video Wars” contest in which listeners create music videos for a pair of silly songs by Adam and Joe.
Chris Salt of Oblong Pictures gets in on the action with a LEGO version of “Jane’s Brain”:
It’s not your typical brick but an actual mp3 player. Now you can listen to your favorite songs playing from a 2X4! The product page is on Homeloo, and you can also check out some other novel LEGO themed MP3 accessories.
