Guitar Hero World Tour

Last month we already reported that 21st Century Digital Boy was included to The Rock Band Warped Tour Pack.
Right now we can confirm that there's an Epitaph Punk-O-Rama Track Pack, which includes Bad Religion's 21st Century Digital Boy, NOFX's Linoleum and Ruby Soho by Rancid. The track pack is now available for download for Guitar Hero World Tour. So purchase the track pack and pick up that guitar, the drumsticks or just the mic and lets have some fun with your friends!

Brett's future career?

We all know that Brett's pretty creative, not only when it comes to music. After his cameo in the Man Man's video "Rabbit Habits", we recently found out that he seems to have some kind of ambitions in the gaming industry. His good friend Gore Verbinski talks about it in an interview with the LA Times:

"Right now, about 70% of our ideas come from in-house. There are a couple pitched to us that we really responded to. My good friend Brett Gurwitz, who runs Epitaph Records, came with a pitch that we found fascinating and put into development. Game designers do come to us. Right now we're open and listening, but also not waiting for ideas to come from the outside."

22nd Century Analog Caveman

For those who don't follow Brett's tweets on Twitter, here's a link to an interesting remix of Bad Religion's "21st Century Digital Boy" by The Leg Lifters, a new project by The Locust's bass player and vocalist Justin Pearson. Brett seems to be really stoked about it...so what do you think?

Greg Graffin's TV show

Last week Greg Graffin also found his way to Twitter to give everyone a sneak peek into his life. His very first tweet sounds more than promising:

"2010 goals: new book, new album, new TV show. Right now: work toward each of them whilst on the Warped Tour. [...]"

We already knew about his new book, we also knew that there is going to be a new record next year, but the TV show seems to be something new. We don't have much info on it and at the moment we can only show you a funny picture of Greg at the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans during something what is called the "Punk Professor shoot".
