This past weekend's Saturday Night Live had a sketch that featured a Nord Lead 3, an MPC2000XL and a Minimoog!

Samberg's "Lazy Sunday" used some of the Dr. Rex loops from Reason. d**k in a Box is still my favorite but this is definitely top three material.

I meant to post this after I saw it... interesting having the NL3, mini and MPC up there. I imagine they are the bands instruments maybe? NBC must have a stockpile of synths back there somewhere.
Do you even post on vse bro?

Actually, the band has an actual DX7 and a Hammond B-3. NBC has a huge budget...they can go to SIR and rent anything they damn want to!

c**p I missed this weeks. Andy isn't utilized enough in sketches. The star is basically the lady, man she gets a lot of skits. Need to spread the wealth. This is actually my favorite cast since Mike Myers and Chris Farley.
