The Lonely Island Is Back & Better Then Ever

Taccone, Samberg and Schaffer

I am a huge fan of The Lonely Island. Andy Samberg may be the most recognizable of the three, but Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer help him make up the this comedy threesome that always put a smile on my face with their ridiculous songs. I really liked their first album Incredibad, but they have truly outdone themselves with their new one, Turtleneck and Chain. They All Star collaborations that these guys pull off are absolutely astounding (holy alliteration Batman... I didn't even mean that!). These are my two favorite from the new album:


First up, a rap/ballad featuring Michael Bolton entitled Captain Jack (I can't believe I just wrote that):



Then we got 'Shy Ronnie' which features Rhianna... another head-scratching collabo that works so well!!! I love this one:

On Stranger Tides Far, Far Away....

The guys over at Draw2D2 always come up with great geek mashups from some excellent artists, but in this past two week cycle they really out did themselves with the Pirates of the Caribbean/Star Wars combinations. These are just amazing, and prove just how awesome mashups can be if you put quality artists on the case with some great topics to mix up. Here are my faves, but you can click here to check out all the rest of this groups entries as well as all their past endeavors. You will not be disappointed.
