Concept albums are all the rage now. What with T.I. and Jay-Z setting the world on fire with their latest releases and my all-time favorite album from Ol’ Dirty Bastard titled ‘Nigga Please!’, I thought I would try to throw my hat into the ring and make my own concept album. Not with my own original music mind you, because no one would want to hear that shit, but with other people’s music. Kind of like how I use other people’s photo images on my website.
I decided to create a CD that would represent my vision for the new Batman movie. Consider this CD the unofficial score for this upcoming film ‘Dark Knight’. I reached out to internets celebrity Combat Jack for his curatorial advice on which tracks best described the murky grittiness of Gotham City, the pathological sickness of the Joker, and the equally pathological determination of the Batman. What you have in your hand is fifteen tracks of brawlic beatdown madness.
The Joker kills some people. The Batman kicks his ass. The Joker kills some more people and the Batman kicks his ass again. Wash, rinse and repeat. The Joker and the Batman are symbiotic creatures. Each one needs the other to survive. I’m not even going to waste your time with my psychoanalysis of the crazy dance that these two characters perform. Just place this CD in a player that you can turn the volume up to 100 and tie a blanket around your neck. It’s time to save the world.
