MGMT’s Electric Feel performed by animatronic animals
The Rock-afire Explosion were an animatronic band comprised of anthropomorphic animals that played in Showbiz Pizza Place restaurants in the USA through the 1980s. After closing down many of these setups found their way to enthusiasts. Here’s one such setup, performing MGMT’s Electric Feel.
Perhaps even more obscurely, a documentary is currently being produced about car-salesman Chris Thrash, a guy who recently purchased the rights to Rock-afire Explosion with an aim to resurrect them and the Showbiz Pizza Place. (via Penny Arcade)

Speaking of documentaries, have you seen King of Kong (it’s not porn)?

No, I’m afraid I haven’t. It was on my “to watch” list but I’d actually forgotten about it completely!. Is it any good?

Yeah – it’s great! Very geeky, but very good. My partner loved it and she’s not a geek or a gamer. Well, she’s a bit of a geek.
