The Lonely Islands Andy Samberg has interviewed Future Islands for a new cover feature in Magnet. Samberg, a longtime fan, asked them about life on the road, how The Wire goes down in their native Baltimore, and singer Samuel T. Herrings longstanding obsession with rap music. In return, the bands William Cashion grilled Samberg on what its like to live in a home with Joanna Newsom, Sambergs wife, and her collection of harps. (Its kind of like a weird music fan dream come true that we have been so in love, Samberg says, because I get to hear her play harp all the time.) Read the full interview here. <\/p>\n
At one point, Cashion asks about the origins of the Lonely Island and Justin Timberlakes Dick in a Box: <\/p>\n
Cashion: Is that the question you get asked all the time? Samberg: Not the most, but definitely people say dick in a box to me as much as anything. Im very comfortable with it. I love it. The joke is that thats gonna be my epitaph: Made Dick In A Box. Theres worse epitaphs to have. Herring: Thats also a shitty thing to put on somebodys gravestone. Samberg: This guy was alive, now hes just a dick in a box. Herring: Works on many levels. <\/p>\n
After reflecting on whether The Wire is Baltimores Dick in a Box, they continue: <\/p>\n
Herring: Our Dick In A Box is probably the Letterman (performance of Seasons in 2014). Samberg: Are you guys sick to death of talking about that? You must be. Herring: Nah, its cool. Samberg: There you go, cause its your Dick In A Box. <\/p>\n
