Ear on TV: Week of January 19: LMFAO

If you've shaken your thing in a dance club the last year, the music of LMFAO is surely familiar, be it their self-produced singles like "I'm in Miami, Bitch" and "Lil' Hipster Girl" or remixes for Fergie, Kanye West ("Love Lockdown") and Katy Perry ("Hot n' Cold"). Now signed to Interscope, the Hollywood Hip-Hop duo is finally poised to release an album of their already impressive catalogue of 'hits' (appropriately entitled Party Rock,) to be released next month.

RedFoo and Blu Sky, the stage names of the uncle/nephew combo, aren't waiting around for silly things like release dates to start the party going, though, as they
make their network television debut on Carson Daly this Tuesday. Says RedFoo (the uncle) "We want to be seen as much as possible. We want to be so big that we can't even walk down the street." After enough folks see them perform "I'm in Miami, Bitch," there's a decent chance that they'll get their wish.

Elsewhere, Spectacle this week welcomes singer/songwriters Kris Kristofferson, Rosanne Cash, Norah Jones and John Mellencamp for a good old fashioned "guitar pull," where a group of artists sit in a circle and trade songs and stories. Johnny Cash famously held them, with Kristofferson and Cash's daughter Rosanne were often in attendance. Elvis Costello makes an interesting proxy for the man in black, and I guess having Jones and Mellencamp make the affair a little more consumer friendly.
