Snort: 5th Avenue Frogger

NYC idea man Tyler DeAngelo recently created 5th Ave Frogger, which pulls real-time traffic data to drive the cars in this classic arcade game. Tip o' the hat to you, Mr. DeAngelo. 

5th Ave Frogger is an attempt to imagine what the Frogger arcade game would be like if it was created today. This version of Frogger is similar to the original, except the traffic you dodge in 5th Ave Frogger is actually traveling down 5th Ave in New York City as you play.

Robot Rock du Jour: Starter - Minijupe (1981)

OK. So, pretend for a minute that lead singer Francis Foss DOESN'T look and sound like Dana Carvey taking the piss out of no wave bands. In that hot minute, you will surely discover how rad this song is because you, after all, love les minijupes (miniskirts) as much as I do. And Korg MS-20s.

Taken from Starter's CDR/DVDR 'Start', the original Songs can be found there oron their 1981 LP 'Starter'

First part of Dana Carvey's audition for Saturday Night Live. REUPLOADED! With better quality!

Snort: Robot Dance Competition (1983)

Metal Mickey calling the shots in this UK dance competition from 1983. Peep those costumes! The red heads get my vote.

This feature was broadcast on Sunday evening TV in the UK, at the height of robot-dancing's popularity. Viewer's of this show were predominantly middle-class complainers, (the whole point of the show was to teach viewers how to moan and complain about services). So robot-dancing was a strange feature to have!
