World Racketeering Squad News

Gods in Hamster Wheels

For our fans and our music, the Squad will brave all terrors, defy all laws.
--Book of Racketeering, chapter 1, verse 24

In pursuit of this lofty mission, we have taken it upon ourselves to ally with Sustainable Waves as they take the very gods of the heavens, Apollo, Helios, Ra, Surya deva, and Bast, and put them to work generating power for rock and roll.  Imagine the shining gods toiling to drive the turbines to power mighty light shows and dazzling amplifiers, like deities in stupendous hamster wheels.

Tonight, you will see the fruits of those labors.  That's right, World Racketeering Squad will round out a night of solar-powered magnificence started by the Sheep Thrills and Cholo Gun in a band-against-band song-off.

Bring a six-pack and enjoy the neighborhood ambiance while you rock out.  The action starts at 8PM, preceded by spinning DJs, and WRS wraps up by 10PM, followed by more spinning DJs.

The Squad is introducing new material and other surprises.  Things will happen tonight for the very first time.  Make sure you can tell everyone you were there when it started!

WANTED: Ghost Hunter

 It's been while since we posted a new song, but we've been a'brewin and a'steamin.  Here's the latest tasty treat, "Ghost Hunter."  Oddly, it has nothing to do with the film Ghostbusters, even though there would be lots of product tie-in opportunities if it did.  Go figure.

 

Summer's back!

IO9 has some pictures from the filming of the new season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, featuring everyone's favorite killer from the future, Summer Glau:

She's much more...

I'm on at Apple Inc!

I just signed my paperwork to become an official Apple employee.

So I'm totally thrilled and excited.  I set a goal to dedicate myself fully to this job, do well, and get hired.  And it worked!

And since I scheduled it beforehand, I still get to go to the Kerrville Folk Festival next week.

Life is very good.
