How do you describe the Lonely Island's performance on the Emmys last night? Well, it featured appearances by Michael Bolton and Akon, plus turns by John Stamos (as Andy Samberg), Ed Helms (as Justin Timberlake) and Maya Rudolph (as Lady Gaga). Parts of "Jack Sparrow" and "I Just Had Sex" are included in the medley, plus an (obviously pre-planned) "freak" on William H. Macy. This was by far the best part of the telecast, in which Modern Family dominated so much that host Jane Lynch came back from a commercial break at one point by saying "Welcome back [...]

In which The Lonely Island deliver a surprise appearance on the 63rd Emmy Awards with the help of Maya Rudolph (as Lady Gaga), John Stamos (as Andy Samberg), Ed Helms (as Justin Timberlake), Akon (as himself), and, yes, Michael Bolton (as Michael Bolton as a pirate). Outside of seeing the Mad Men cast together again, it was the highlight of the evening - and no, the show isn't over at the time of this posting. Check out the madness below.

Link: http://twitter.com/#!/dfarecor ds The Lana Del Rey scandal is a meme that has been swept under the rug for months by the indie blog and corporate insiders who are trying to manufacture her into 'the next big thing.' After yesterday's 'shocking expose' on her origins [ LINK ], it seems like the authentic indiesphere is rallying against her. Even DFA Records , which was started by legendary alt frontman/producer/icon James Murphy and authentic producer Tim Goldsworthy has gone out of their way to 'talk mad [...]

Er zijn maar weinige artiesten die het kunnen maken om een 'grappig' nummer te maken. De gasten van The Lonely Island begrijpen dat. Ze krijgen daarbij veel hulp van grote artiesten zoals Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake en op dit nummer van T-Pain. T-Pain staat bekend als Autotune-koning (hoewel hij ook zonder Autotune behoorlijk goed uit de voeten kan, maar dat weet dan weer bijna niemand). Samen met de jongens van The Lonely Island nam hij het satirische I'm On A Boat op. Flarden van teksten zijn " I'm on a boat motherfucker ", " Take a [...]

« MWHAHAHA ! » voilà à peu près ce que j'exprime dès que l'on m'annonce un nouveau clip de The Lonely Island . Même avant d'ouvrir les internets, je me frotte les mains, me tapotte le ventre et bave légèrement. J'attends que la petite barre rouge de YouTube se charge et là c'est parti. Cette vidéo fait partie de l'album mais date apparemment de 2009 à l'époque de leurs apparitions au Saturday Night Live . On se retrouve avec un titre à l'instru Hip Hop à base d'explosions [...]

The cast of Glee fared pretty well with the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences this year, but the musical comedy series surprisingly wasn't nominated for "Original Music & Lyrics" despite this season's addition of original tunes. Instead, Saturday Night Live dominated the category with four nominations, leaving room for only Family Guy's "Christmastime Is Killing Us" and "An American Prayer—Hymn II?" from the HBO comedy special Robert Klein: Unfair & Unbalanced . (Another HBO special that went over well with the Emmys? Lady Gaga's Monster Ball [...]

Si vous ne connaissez pas servez vous de vos jolis petits doigts boudinés pour connaître un peu leur histoire en faisant une recherche sur notre magnifique site.

Now that SNL is done for the season, the Lonely Island dudes can devote all their time to doing goofy ass music videos, like this one for "We'll Kill U" that features Akiva Shaffer and Jorma Taccone describing how bad ass they are and how they'll cap you. Expect some awkward quoting of Mobb Deep, along with badass video effects. Not the best track on Turtleneck & Chain, but one of the easiest ones to make a video for. Turtleneck & Chain is out now.
SNL's Andy Samberg and his band Lonely Island are back with more laughs.

In February, AFAR Magazine invited The Lonely Island's Jorma Taccone to participate in Spin The Globe, a series that sends a writer to a random foreign destination in exchange for a written dispatch about his or her journey. Jorm ended up in Kenya for six days, and met a rapper named Kaka Sungura (AKA Rabbit) in Nairobi. Together the new friends made a Lonely Island-style digital short which is part straightforward Rabbit promo, part "Jizz In My Pants"-in-Africa. It's pretty great. Read More...

I started playing with toys in my dj solos with J5 and over the years my collection grew. This is the official toy set video, shot on stage by my cousin Buzz, from performances in Korea, China, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and the Philippines. I'm going to be including a longer version with the release of the Broken Sunlight CD/DVD and a coffee table, photo book of all the toys and their stories. In the meantime, to celebrate the launch of my new site, here is a little taste. www.unclenu.com
"Now back to the good part..." Awesome.

Longtime ML friend and producer 6th Sense ended up on the outro track on The Lonely Island's 2nd album Turnleneck & Chain. I hit him up to get the scoop on how he ended up on the Grammy award winning group's comedy/rap album (who we have written about a little in the past ). Here is how it all came about: It all started when Jason Goldstein hit me up. Jason's an amazing (grammy winning!) engineer, and we've worked on a couple [...]

The Lonely Island Gets Crowded The Lonely Island released their sophomore album May 10th, 2011 with a full set of featured artists that read like a Who's Who – Rihanna, Snoop, Akron, Nicki Minaj, John Waters, Santigold, Justin Timberlake, Beck, and the hardest of all, Michael Bolton. You heard me – Michael Bolton. Don't front. You know you wish he hadn't cut his hair. The Lonely Island is the trio of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and David Andrew Samberg, best known for their work on SNL in the last few years. Their first release in [...]

"Turtleneck & Chain" is the sophomore release from Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone who make up The Lonely Island. Their parodic craft undoubtedly verges on outshining the famous celebrities who take part in the skits on Saturday Night Live. It was only two years ago that the smash parodic rap hit "I'm On A Boat" turned viral and received praise in the form of a Grammy nomination. T-Pain, who was featured on the anthem, was in utter shock as this most obvious "Saturday Night Live" skit for a viral humorous track would likely be the highest [...]

The every-bit-deserving Queen right now is The Adele , as she tackles the #1 spot for the 9th week and probable last one for a spell. The Lady Gaga will surely take that title away with her sales this week. With the $.99 price tag she pushed through onto Amazon on Monday surely sealed that deal. Which you can NOT deny is worth her chart position. Mama Adele however is still the Queen for now and still holding her spot with a respectful 137K +. Congratualtions on almost getting to your 2 Million [...]

As soon as I heard Justin Timberlake was hosting another episode of SNL, I set up my DVR! (I mean who's home on a Saturday to watch...) However, I realized the most recent Lonely Island album, Turtleneck and Chain, had just been released and there wasn't a song on there with JT. This worried me. That meant no third part to SNL Digital Short series with the Dick in a Box guys. I just couldn't have that. But within the first 30 minutes, Andy Samberg and The Lonely Island guys came to the rescue with this [...]
