Blue Man Group fittingly makes Blu-ray debut on Rhino Entertainment
Oh c'mon, you always knew Blue Man Group would never side with red, didn't you? Months after the format war ended, the famed group is finally making its Blu-ray debut on Rhino Entertainment, which, coincidentally, is also making its Blu debut. On November 4th, the Blu-ray version of How to be a Megastar Tour 2.0 will hit shelves, with bonus features including a music video, a parody called "Mono Makes a Plea - Save the TVs," a how-to manual (saywha?), and the Blue Man Group documentary Inside the Tube. MSRP on this one is expected to be $19.99.
Blue Man Group's crazy musical instrument toys
We're no fans of over-enthusiastic men in face paint, but there's something very appealing about this, the first of the Blue Man Group's new toy range. They all rocking the same PVC tubing meets Apple G5 meets Fisher Price styling, and feature "new proximity sensor technology, pre-programmed songs [and] interchangeable instrument sounds" to "enable kids to mix and layer music with a simple wave of their hands." This is the 'Percussion Tubes' model; the little green drawer on the right is for your iPod, which can play out of the speakers so you can "jam along with your favourite tracks." There's also a keyboard version, and a more interesting sounding Drum Suit and Air Pole. Can't wait until the circuit benders get their hands on these, which they surely will, the Percussion Tubes being $69, and the Keyboard being $79 -- available in July.
