First, I used a Miley Cyrus beat. So of course, I had to rock it to the Bieber, right? I actually really love “Baby,” I think it’s a fantastic song. So screw the haters.
Can you believe it’s already September? The summer is basically over, and it feels like it went by in a flash. So this is my official “Summer’s Over” anthem. Hope you enjoy it, and goodbye Summer. See you next year.
To celebrate the month of September, here’s the album cover for the official Adam WarRock release, The War For Infinity, set to drop in a month or so (*edited* tentative release date may change). Artwork by Rusty Shackles, and what’s that? It looks like an introduction written in the physical album notes by Chris Roberson?
I made this song solely to feature beatmaker/producer, Jonathan Lowell, who is amazing. The kid is only 17, and he makes beats better than most of the adults who do this for a living. I get followed by a shit-ton of beatmakers on twitter (mostly cuz I often talk about how I need new beats), and about 99% of them are straight terrible….but Lowell is the exception to the norm, apparently. Look for me to do some work with him sometime in 2011. I could flip to his beats for days.
So, we were supposed to do a real episode, but Euge’s computer decided to majorly crash a day before he was going out of town. So after a night of recovering all of the stuff necessary to record and process a podcast, we cobbled together this mini-live-to-tape episode, just to keep our Cal Ripken-esque streak going (note: we have no Ripken-esque streak).
Got no time for show notes this week (I’m literally catching a ride out of town in…uhh, five hours?..and have to go sleep). Our apologies to our scheduled guest, Phil Hester. Hopefully we’ll have him on the show soon, but check back next week for Marvel editor, Nate Cosby!
Some general announcements, while I deal with the fact that my entire laptop crashed last night and I’m desperately trying to get my life back in order after losing my HD.
I am going to be at SPX 2010, in Bethesda, MD (read: Washington, DC) on September 11-12. More notably, I’ll be co-hosting the Nerdlinger Awards with Jen Vaughn at Atomic Books in Baltimore on September 10. So if you’re around that weekend, come out and have fun with us! I will probably have tshirts in my car, so if you’re interested in buying a shirt without paying that annoying shipping cost, just find me at the show.
Speaking of tshirts, if you haven’t bought one yet, get one! Check out the store.
And if you haven’t heard the West Coast Avengers Mixtape, go check it out over at ComicsAlliance. Thanks to everyone for the great reaction to the mixtape. I can’t believe I did such a ridiculous thing in a little over a month.
New music coming next week, along with a ton of previews, exclusives, and big news as September revs up and the album release comes closer and closer.
If you listened to Episode 38 with guest Paul Tobin, you may have heard a lengthy discussion on whether Batman and/or the Punisher would smile, and the subject of Batman and The Punisher smiling while going to get ice cream came up. Listener Sean drew us some art showing this momentous occasion:
And just to show why Batman would ever cry, Sean drew this picture as well:
Of course, what the picture crops out is Batman having just read The Widening Gyre #6. Yeah, I went there.
Hey guys! Head on over to ComicsAlliance to listen to and download the Adam WarRock – West Coast Avengers Mixtape! And leave some comments on what you thought about the mixtape below!
Don’t forget to buy a tshirt too. Just released this week, they are pretty rad.
Everything at the store is pretty self explanatory. $18 + shipping for the Lion Shirt, and $20 + shipping for the Heart Shirt. We’re shipping to US and Canada, but if you’re an international customer, email me and see if we can work something out. I’m sure we can.
THIS FIRST RUN IS IN PRETTY LIMITED QUANTITIES. We’re trying to gauge how many to get for the coming months, so we did a smaller order for this initial run. So if you want one NOW and don’t want to wait for a reprinting, buy that stuff up, dawg!
So remember, when you see the disemboweled zebra being eaten by a lion, that means it’s time to…
This is the kind of song I make in about one hour. I forgot how much I love making fast tracks. And it’s weird, but my flow is getting a lot better lately. Can you tell that all I want to do is make party music that’s kind of goofy? I think I’ve been making epic story rap opera tracks for too long. My soul is hungering for some a hip a hoppa a hip hip hop and ya don’t stop.
Also,I probably would’ve named this song “CPR” but that sounds too much like “PBR”, my MAD HIT SINGLE YO. Or something like that.
Tshirts tomorrow, West Coast mixtape Wednesday. Who’s sick of me yet? I am. Sorta.
Beat used: “Pop Off” By Joe Budden (Prod. by Just Blaze)

First off, CONGRATULATIONS to my friends over at the Star Wars Uncut project for winning a Creative Arts Emmy this weekend. You guys don’t know this, but I’ve been working on a song with them to be featured in the film. If you want to, you can take look at their Emmy reel and hear a snippet of the rough cut that me and Ruckus have been working on. Hopefully the song will be available soon-ish (see? And I bet you guys were wondering why I never had done a Star Wars themed song).
In other news, check out the Earth-2 podcast. Their Bigger on the Inside podcast, episode 45, features my Dr. Who song!
The tshirt contest is done, and the winners have been selected. But otherwise, check back tomorrow when the tshirts officially go on sale.
