The fact that Electric Guest's debut album was produced by Danger Mouse should be a pretty clear indication of the potential this duo out of Los Angeles has in their back pocket. Mondo is due out April 24th on Downtown Records, and initial single "This Head I Hold" has soul to spare and is nigh [...]
The Internet has found itself a new ally in its ongoing fight against SOPA and PIPA. As Billboard reports, Trent Reznor, MGMT, The Lonely Island, Nada Surf's Daniel Lorca, and OK Go have all co-signed an open letter to Congress expressing their opposition to the legislation. The letter was also signed by comedian Aziz Ansari, fillmaker Lloyd Kaufman, MythBusters ' Adam Savage, and other members of the entertainment industry. "We fear that the broad new enforcement powers provided under SOPA and PIPA could be easily abused against legitimate services [...]

If you tried to visit a number of websites today and were unable to view their content, don't be alarmed: it's due to the protest of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) bills, which were created to stop online piracy and protect copyright owners, but could allow the government to censor practically anything on the Internet. You'd think musicians would be all for protecting their music from piracy, but artists, such as B.o.B, Kreashawyn, OK Go and more, have made it clear that this bill, if passed, will do more harm than good.

Filed under: News Getty (2) The battle over the SOPA and PIPA bills -- the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect Intellectual Property Act -- currently making their way through the U.S. Congress has hit a crescendo. Wikipedia, Reddit and other sites shut themselves down on Jan. 18 to protest the legislation which enables the U.S. government to block public access to any site accused of copyright infringement without their day in court. Several [...]

Not only can Bobby C funk out some of my favorite classic rap tracks ( check it ), but he also puts a fiine ghetto funk spin to some funny ass comedic bits. This time round he puts it on one of The Lonely Island's best bits, "it's not gay, when it's in a 3-way." Funny & Funky = good times. If you're diggin this, make sure to check his remix of Flight of the Conchords' "Sugar Lumps ." The Lonely Island - 3-Way (Bobby C Sound TV Rmx) [...]

If you're feeling racy, freak Bill Macy! GO! ( via ) The Lonely Island brought an absolutely ripping live performance to the Emmy's this past Sunday night featuring a medley of some of their biggest hits and ton of guest performers. I'm not going to give too much away because it's already been written elsewhere, but take a look at the video and see for yourself. I'm sorry, I'm just kind of a sucker for this stuff. I know [...]

I never watch award ceremonies when they're broadcast and I rarely watch the highlights unless someone I'm slightly intrigued by might be performing, yet, The Lonely Island performed at this years Emmy's and that is something I'd like to see. As they've done on Saturday Night Live numerous times, The Lonely Island Boys put in a tongue in cheek performance with help from Michael Bolton, Akon, John Stamos, Ed Helms, Maya Rudolph and a tonne of dancers. The resulting medley can be enjoyed at the top of the page.
To hear our friends at Videogum tell it , this year's Emmy Awards were wack as fuck, something that should shock absolutely everyone who has never watched a second of any Emmy telecast. But just like they do on Saturday Night Live , the kids in the Lonely Island showed up to save at least a couple of minutes of the show. In their big moment, they ran through a quick medley of recent SNL Digital Video highlights and brought out Michael Bolton, Akon, John Stamos, Ed Helms, Maya Rudolph, a battalion of dancers, and a banner that [...]
O grupo musical com uma pitada de humor The Lonely Island , formado por três atores do seriado Saturday Night Live ( Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer e Jorma Taccone ), se apresentou no Emmy no último domingo (18/09), mas os garotos não estavam sozinhos. Eles levaram ao palco diversos convidados, como Maya Rudolph, John Stamos, Ed Helms, Akon e o pirata Michael Bolton . O Lonely Island apresentou um medley com algumas de suas músicas, como Jack Sparrow e I Just Had Sex . A participação deles foi bastante comentada [...]

Last night's Emmy Awards telecast didn't hit too many high notes when it came to recognizing music-related shows (though Outstanding Directing for a variety, music or comedy series went to Don Roy King, for the May Saturday Night Live episode starring Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga ). That said, at least there was the SNL spin-off "group" The Lonely Island, who performed a medley of their Turtleneck & Chain jams "I Just Had Sex" and "Jack Sparrow" — complete with Akon and Michael Bolton on backup — and "3 [...]

The Lonely Island - Wireimage Andy Samberg and his musical/comedy group, The Lonely Island , were called in to fill the raunchiness quota with a performance last night (September 18) at the 2011 Emmys. But they couldn't do it alone. The guys welcomed several special guests to the stage to perform their comically naughty songs, like Michael Bolton - yes, the real Michael Bolton - to perform "Jack Sparrow," Ed Helms , Maya Rudolph , and John Stamos to fill in for them on their track [...]
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 [...]
