Vinyl New Release
I bet if you asked Andy Samberg, the comedian from Saturday Night Live, a year ago if he would release a top selling album he would punch you in the face for being ridiculous. However, just last week the comedian alongside his amigos Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone debuted their second album “Turtleneck & Chain.”
The band’s name is “The Lonely Island.” Back in 2006, Saturday Night Live started their now famous digital shorts. I don’t think very many people will ever forget the first revolutionary digital short with Justin Timberlake “Dick in a Box.” Halloween costumes took a turn for the worst (or best) ever since.
Digital shorts are hilarious, if you appreciate crude humor, and often have collaborations with major artists. “Turtleneck & Chain” is a compilation of digital shorts. Some of the artists included alongside “The Lonely Island” in this album are Snoop Dogg, Akon, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Santigold, John Waters, Beck, and Michael Bolton.
If you haven’t laughed and rapped with every digital short, this album has a few you are guaranteed to remember. “Turtleneck & Chain” has “I Just Had Sex” featuring Akon and “Motherlover” featuring Justin Timberlake.
The actual release date of the album was May 10, 2011. By the week of May 15, 2011 “Turtleneck & Chain” was a shocking number three on the United Stated Billboard chart! The album sold 68,000 copies. On the UK Albums Chart the album peaked at number 26.
I can’t say that the “Turtleneck & Chain” vinyl record will fit nicely in your collection next to the Beatles, but if you really want to laugh the vinyl cover alone will get you grinning.
