A model-building team at Legoland Windsor, UK took 720 hours to build Lego Glastonbury. They used almost 10,000 bricks, including 5,400 used to create the 50cm high Pyramid Stage based on exact dimensions provided by the Glastonbury Festival team.

"The Model Makers have had a huge amount of fun creating the scene and the Festival team have been really helpful giving us stage dimensions and sending a special consignment of Glastonbury 'mud' fresh from the farm," said a Legoland spokesperson.

More about the making of this spectacular scene in the Legoland press release, and you can visit it in person at the Legoland Windsor resort.

Three outstanding covers of Gary Numan's 1979 hit "Are 'Friends' Electric?"

Exhibit A. Reverend Parsley drawing an uncanny line from Numan's Winter of Discontent to Merrie England. Exhibit B. Parralox asks the question "What if Are 'Friends' Electric? was shamelessly uplifting synthpop?" and gets the answer right. Exhibit C: Kaelin Bougneit. Additional comment unnecessary. READ THE REST
A humorous look at how Hip Hop has changed over the years

Despite how dominant it is in youth culture, rap is old. The "hip" in Hip Hop was initially slapped on the genre as a pejorative term, as early detractors believed rap was a flash in the pan.
