This Is Book’s Music

As LMFAO roam the land on their Party Rock Tour, they managed to skeet a bit and create a video for the Lil’ Jon-produced “Shots”. Shots, skeets, squirts, it’s all about perfect aim, isn’t it?

No dates scheduled so far for the West, but I’m sure as we get closer to Spring 2010, there will no doubt be some announcements made, perhaps at some of the big music festivals.

By heading to his website, RJ’s Electrical Connections (media/audio junkies will know exactly what he’s referring to with that name), you will see new videos uploaded on a regular basis up through the release date of The Colossus, along with news on reissues of his back catalog and perhaps a few exclusives. I guess that commercial/advert money is being put to good use, now let’s see where he plans on taking his music in the next decade.
