Hello War Rocketeers (I’m still working on what to call you guys). Euge here. If you haven’t listened to our newest Episode, I’ve announced a new music project and website for my raps and swears. But seriously, AdamWarRock.com is now up and running, and while I’m getting the concept album written, recorded, produced, and mastered (release sometime in 2010, DJ producer announcement is coming within the next week, hopefully), I’ll be posting up tracks, both old and new and sorta-new, to the site on a regular basis. So check it out, and please, if you want to join in on the fun, email adamwarrockmixtape_at_gmail.com, beats, rhymes, or life all accepted. Hopefully by the end of next week, I’ll have over an album’s worth of tracks posted up there. I write and record A LOT, so stay tuned to the site.

But enough of that. For our NINTH episode, we have with us special guest Tom Peyer, writer of many titles, including Hourman, Legion of Super-Heroes, and of course, Stephen Colbert’s Tek Jansen.  We’ll be recording with Tom this Friday, the 16th, so be sure to email or twitter us your questions, as we roll along with the show!

Also, be sure to check out Awesomed By Comics latest diss track, sorta, to us in Episode 63 at this link. I’m preparing something special for them in response. Not sure when I’ll have it done though. PREPARE YOURSELVES EVIE AND AARON.
