Nathan Proudlove certainly does:
(Now I have that song in my head for the rest of the evening. Better than the Chocobo’s Dungeon soundtrack, I guess…)
What has Ochre Jelly done to deserve this?
Why, build miniland-ish figures of the Pet Shop Boys, of course! Click the photo to see two versions (1985 and 1994) of Ochre Jelly‘s figs:
Radiohead’s House of Cards video in LEGO by Ian Mackinnon
The music video for Radiohead’s “House of Cards” from In Rainbows (naturally available from ) just seemed to be begging for the LEGO treatment.
Ian Mackinnon obliges with this strange and gorgeous rendition (with a hat-tip to reader wb):
Ian used the 3D plotting data from the original video to do his time-lapse LEGO interpretation of “House of Cards”. The result is sheer brilliance.
And here’s the original video for “House of Cards”, for comparison:

Arnold Skolnick’s Woodstock poster in LEGO by Noddy
Artist Arnold Skolnick’s famous poster for a certain “Aquarian Exposition,” billed as “3 Days of Peace & Music,” came to be so closely identified with Woodstock that many people can’t think of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Janis Joplin, or The Grateful Dead up on that stage without thinking about Skolnick’s dove perched on a guitar.

It’s a brand new day for Dr. Horrible
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).

LEGO version of Radiohead’s In Rainbows album art by woordenaar
For those of you disappointed by the fact that the downloadable version of Radiohead’s new album, In Rainbows, didn’t come with any album art, woordenaar has the solution:
Steven Marshall is a guitar god!
Steven Marshall isn’t just a guitar god, he’s also becoming quite the LEGO artist. The only studs visible on this acoustic bass are on the bridge (where the strings meet the body).

Rock on, dbol! Rock on.
I’ve always felt that LEGO vignettes are like haiku (though maybe Bruce might have made that comparison first). Dbol actually combines the two with this great vignette of a gamer playing Guitar Hero with an unimpressed female onlooker:
Rock stars preen and strut
While they shout at the devil
But he’s just a geek.
This isn’t just an amusing vig — it’s got some interesting techniques, like the curtains and the wonderful large-screen TV.
