Batman: The Animated Album

My name is Blame the Kid and my favorite cartoon of all time is Batman: The Animated Series. I like to sample records and make beats, so I thought,

"Hey Blame, why don't you chop up melodic samples and poignant dialogues from this show and arrange them over beats and breaks to create a beat-capsule of Batman, the Rogues Gallery and all the other characters that comprised this show?"

By the time I finished asking, I was making. This is what came out.

The full album will run about 50 minutes (18 tracks) and be available for free download at a website TBA.

Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

Gotta keep fighting, never stop. What I try to live by.

Batman on a Budget by Mike Mitchell

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Even Batman gets tired of the grind. When he does, he needs only be reminded of what he does for Gotham City and its inhabitants. Heroes come in all shades (this track’s concept is illustrated by JJ Cale, Horace Silver, and Booker T & The MGs).

The Laughing Fish

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

None dare question the motives of the Joker, Gotham’s most notorious Rogue. So when fish start popping up in local waterways wearing Jack’s signature grin, it’s anyone’s guess as to why. We may never know…

This skit is the interlude preceding the Joker’s song on Batman: The Animated Album.

PS - Just a handful of tracks left to finish. We’re almost there.
