The time has finally come. The Lonely Island, AKA The Dudes, AKA Andy Samburg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone, has released their debut album, entitled Incredibad. It not only has your favorite SNL Digital Short songs, like “Lazy Sunday” and “Dick In A Box”, it has original songs… which are just as good as the other songs. Let’s start… shall we?
The album starts with the hard-hitting song “Who Said We’re Wack?”, a song about The Dudes trying to figure out who said they were wack. It feels like a gangster rap song… hard-hitting, catchy, and makes you feel like you want to make a mosh pit… somewhat. The simplistic lyrics actually work to the advantage of the song and it clearly deserved the opening spot. It does end somewhat abruptly, but then it leads to the first song with a guest… which is a recurring theme.

Okay… I am writing this because I want to share with all the other music lovers out there a secret I have… well… it is pretty well known… but… whatever.
I have found out a way to get rare or just awesome CDs for dirt cheap OTHER then eBay. It is… *drumroll* A USED CD STORE! Yeah!
I know you are thinking “Pffff… I knew that!” and most likely you already did… but let me share with you a story.
When I went to NextFest this year (I never reported on that… did I?), I also stopped at a place called “Reckless Records”. It was a used CD/DVD/Vinyl store. I was a bit worried to enter. I mean… here I am… this regular guy going into this hard rock/metal used CD store where I couldn’t be more out of place wearing just a plain white t-shirt. But I went in anyway. While I was looking around… I found some pretty cool stuff. I found “The Slip” and “Ghosts I-IV” by Nine Inch Nails un-opened on vinyl and I was looking for some CDs by them… but none were to be found. People started to come in (I will never forget the fat lady wearing goth makeup and dress like a dominatrix. I swear to god… I am not lying.) and I wasn’t finding anything. I finally found a “New Arrivals” section and looked under the “N’s” in rock. I found two things. “Year Zero” and the “Sin” single… both by Nine Inch Nails… and then it started.
I started going to every used CD store I could… getting anything I didn’t have… I was like old, fat Oprah trying to find a ham sandwich. I sometimes found some cool stuff… singles… EPs… stuff like that. But I really hit paydirt a few days ago… about a week ago actually. I went to a used CD store closer to where I live called to “Disk Replay”. I was looking through the Nine Inch Nails section and found a promo copy of “Things Falling Apart”, which was the remix album for “The Fragile”. Since it was a promo copy… given only to reviewers and not for the public… I got it for $6. Crazy right? The regular version was $6. Wanna know why it was a good deal? Try to find it on eBay. You can’t… right? Oh… you did? Was it less the $50? It wasn’t? I TOLD YOU!
So… the moral is… get off your rear end and listening to your music and go GET your music… you could become rich off of it.
Oh… and Linkin Park fans… click this.
Tell them Zjc1117@linkinpark.com sent ya. Yes… that WHOLE e-mail address… SO MUCH TO TYPE! (Don’t try to send me anything from that… I never check it.)
