Interviews – Dynamic Music Partners – Batman Beyond Volume 2!

This is Christopher Carter. My name is Lolita

Ritmanis. And this is Michael McQuistion. And

we are the Dynamic Music Partners. And you are

listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. This

is Kevin Conway. And I am the goddamn Batman.

Hello and welcome to the Geekcast Radio Network's

interview of three very awesome composers. I'm,

of course, TFJ and Mike, and after only eight

short months, I get to have yet another conversation

with the Dynamic Music Partners. I told you they'd

be back. I just didn't think it would be this

soon, because last time there was a ten -year

gap. However... Batman Beyond Volume 2, which

features 98 tracks, is on every digital audio

platform now. It came out September 20th of this

year. So we have Christopher Carter. Hello, sir.

How are you? Hello, Mike. Thanks for having us

back. Absolutely. Absolutely. We have a leader

at Manus. How are you, ma 'am? I'm excellent,

Mike. Great to be with you today. Absolutely.

And Michael McQuistion. Hello, sir. From one

Michael to another, hello. That's right. Glad

to be back. Absolutely, absolutely. Today we'll

be specifically celebrating the 25th anniversary

of Batman Beyond by talking about the Volume

2 release of the score. And starting off, I mentioned

this off -air that I did a count on this. The

first volume had essentially music from all 13

episodes of the first season of the show. And

Volume 2 has a selection. of episodes from specifically

Season 2, which I like. I like that the first

volume had practically almost everything you

could want from all 13 episodes, and then this

one has a little bit here, a little bit there.

My first question is, though, why didn't this

Volume 2 start out with the main title? What

was that about? It just goes right into Splicers,

into the music from Splicers. Well, we released

the main title on volume one. And it actually

gets confusing when you're talking about streaming

services to copy music over again. So we just

wanted to let the first volume celebrate the

opening of the show. And that's why now that

we're sitting comfortably, we can begin with

the new story, which is the selection of episodes

from season two. And I just wanted to say that.

You know, when you describe volume one as being

everything you could want from season one, even

though this is a selection of episodes, it's

everything you could want from the selection

of episodes. Yes. Yes, it is. I agree. I'm sorry.

I'm bowing down. I am not worthy. I am not worthy.

My biggest thing was, even though I saw this

was 98 tracks, I was like, wait, but like some

of my favorite episodes weren't in this yet.

And I was like, OK, I'm looking at my Blu -ray.

paper here and i'm like okay they're gonna do

that eventually i know they're gonna do that

eventually okay april moon got it egg baby got

it century the last cosmos which won the emmy

got it but we need it so give it to us please

appetite for tracks we love it well 95 tracks

blew my socks off last year and when the volume

two i'm like oh my god how can i listen to 98

i mean i can and i have over and over and over

again like literally this score just plays like

it there's no it just goes and i can always tell

which like literally in my head because batman

beyond is in my blood i can tell like i don't

even have to look at the track listing i know

which song is which from which episode because

that's just how my brain works Well, that's cool,

Mike. Yeah, you can actually, you know, it's

like being a kid. I mean, when I was little,

sometimes I'd listen to these albums that were

just, you know, they were original scores. And,

yeah, I played, I not only played the original

movie in my head, but I would make up my own

movie with those characters. So I think it's

kind of fun. I mean, the music was originally

written. to a specific episode and to a specific

scene, as we do with 99 .9 % of what we do. We

don't just, you know, needle drop our music into

scenes. We are actually scoring each episode,

each scene. But, I mean, for us, too, going through

the archives of all of this music, it just brings

back not only memories of how talented the filmmakers

of this show were, I mean, just art direction,

writing, producing, but also it takes it takes

us back to where we were when we were in the

depths of the studio production of all this and

when there was you know there was incredible

guitar players on these dates and we'd have a

lot of time time and budget to mix them right

so it's it's it's a pretty exciting thing for

us to finally be able to get the permission to

release this so absolutely absolutely All right.

So we talked a little bit about the process.

When picking the selection of episodes, did you

all each say, hey, I want to do this one or I

want this episode of mine to be on here? How

did that go? Well, I think we tried to make sure

that each of us was represented on the soundtrack.

So we wanted to make sure that we had a good

selection of music from each of the three of

us. And we wanted to kind of keep it in the general

area of season two, like you noticed. And then

we wanted to give a good variety of music to

listen to, too. So I think we used all those

criteria. And in addition to what we could put

our hands on quickly to get volume two out. And

we're thrilled that the response has been so.

positive to the first soundtrack and we were

just like well this is great people really want

this and it really gave us a lot of fuel to put

together volume two we really appreciate everyone

who's been listening and buying and just revisiting

this music it's so gratifying absolutely anybody

else want to say anything or you want me to move

on um i will chime in in this that I cannot reveal

our source, but we have somebody in our lives

who literally knows every piece of music and

how it fits with scenes. Now, maybe, Mike, you

also are in that category, but we definitely

rely on our secret advisor who he or she or it

or. might have superpowers of their own as far

as just being able to kind of peer into the looking

glass of the future as to what to release when

and how. So we have to give a huge shout out

to someone that's been helping us with this.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's the ghost of Robert

Vance. It's a lost soul. And the funny thing

for me is, like, literally before, I don't know,

we had this plan to do this, I don't know, a

week or so ago, whatever it was, but as far as,

like, planning to do the interview, I watched

all the episodes from the score release because

I mentioned this last time, I'm the type of person

that if I hear a piece of music in a movie or

a TV show, a cartoon, whatever it is, I then,

if I like it enough, I then want to hear it out

of the context that it's in because I want to

hear it by itself. And that's the greatest thing

about film scores and TV scores and cartoon scores

and movie scores and all this and all that and

everything else is because you get to hear the

music outside of the thing. And especially with

Batman Beyond, I did not. I did not remember

a lot of the music from these. I mean, I remember

the music, but I don't remember, like, specifically.

Like, hearing the music from Lost Soul outside

of that episode is like, oh, wow, that's right.

Holy crap, this is crazy. Creepy stuff. Old man

wants to get in the Batman Beyond suit and then

replace his nephew. Give me a break. DFG and

Mike on the editing station here. Before anyone

comes after me, Vance and his grandson, not nephew.

I misspoke. It was his grandson. Now back to

the show. It was a good plot. I'm not saying

it's a bad plot, but yikes, that's a little scary.

Definitely room for some creepiness on our part.

It's fun to plus the creepiness if we can, writing

the music that we do. Mike, I think you've really

hit on something that makes me very passionate

about writing film music is that you are inspired

by the show that you see and the movie that you

watch and the story that you experience. And

it's very gratifying to create the music that

helps tell that story. Then, you know, when you

take that music away, the best crafted film music

out there, will will evoke those feelings and

those pictures and those images in your mind

and so it i think that's the most wonderful thing

about this process for me personally is is doing

it so the fact that you could hear the music

and then see the the episode in your head means

that the composers did their job absolutely absolutely

christopher your your track vr room brawl i think

that is from oh what is that from that's from

hooked up yeah that's right uh that's like i

was like Oh, right. They did have that, didn't

they? And I listen to that and I listen to that.

I'm like, man, this really works. That was an

interesting track. You know, as Lolita was saying,

we were blessed to have such amazing musicians

playing the guitar and all the different instruments.

We also had oftentimes electric bass. That electric

bass track was is a bass player named John Button,

as in cute as a. And he is just a phenomenal

monster bass player who I've known since college.

We were roommates together. And I said, you know

what, for this cue, I want to put you to work.

You know, show me this great popping and slapping

stuff that I know you love doing. And he just

went to town on it. That's amazing. That's awesome.

And then there's always I don't I don't know

how the the picking of straws happened with.

Who was going to I don't know how the higher

ups, Bruce, Tim, all of them said, hey, you guys

do this, this and this. Or if it was your all's

decision to do which episode as far as scoring

it. But, Michael, how did you get Terry's friend

dates a robot? Because girlfriends from hell

parts one and two. Oh, my God, dude. What did

you do? Well, you know, it's funny. At the time,

Shirley Walker was the supervising composer for

the series. And so we didn't have any idea what

episode we were going to do or if we were going

to do an episode because she did as many as she

wanted to do. And then the rest of it, she divvied

up between us. Right. You know, I would get a

fax. I remember in the years when we had these

huge fax machines, we had big format ones for

music paper that were 11 inches wide. And a fax

would come rolling out and it would usually have

the information if she wanted me to do another

episode. So I'm sure I got this fax that said,

you know, here's your next episode. Terry's friend

dates a robot. I was like, what? So, yeah. And

when I saw the episode. OK, I'm just going to

I'm just going to say this because, I mean, I'm

a I'm a very proud nerd. And when I saw that

episode, I'm like, I know this guy. I know who

he is. I know he's all about. I know where he

came from and where he's going. And so I thought

it was like a perfect assignment. Right. Because,

I mean, I'm like super nerd. So anyway, I I pretty

much got it from day one. And thankfully. the

producer was into what I was doing because what

I was doing was really strange, but he got it

too. So maybe, maybe he's a little bit of a nerd

too, you know? Yeah, absolutely. It works. And

I've mentioned already that Lolita's score on

Lost Soul is, I'm going to go into my favorite

tracks from each of you later, but that score

Lolita, that was wow. Cause Like I said before,

and I didn't say this to disparage the episode.

I love the episode, but the story is basic where

old rich guy voiced by Stacy Keech, who was Mr.

American Greed before he passed. I think he's

no longer with us. I remember. Yeah, he passed

away a couple years ago. Anyway, you've got him

as this old man, Robert Vance, who wants to.

Basically live on forever through his basically

replace his grandson's memory. Like, oh, boy,

body swapping and switching and everything else.

How did the music come for this? I have no idea,

Mike. You know, I it's. So long ago, I don't

remember what I had for breakfast this morning.

So in all honesty, no, I mean, I could give you

some really cool, like made up answer, but it's

really, you know, as with the amount of music

that we've written over the years, I mean, I'll

speak for me when I, when I'm in that moment,

you know, I'm totally in the moment, but it's

like, you know, I don't know, like, it's almost

like, I don't know how much you travel, but it's

like, if I return to a certain, you don't, well,

I love. to travel and let's say if i go to the

same place i've gone there like maybe five times

in my life i don't remember which time i saw

which which specific thing and what you know

michael on the other hand his memory he can remember

but i will i will say that you know it was um

i was still very much just intrigued with like

experimenting with different sounds and And,

you know, we had definitely taken out this huge

loan when Batman Beyond started. I mean, this

is before season one, because, of course, we

switched from having this, you know, orchestra,

you know, paid for by Warner Brothers to having

to, you know, doing this big production with

with all these different, you know, with all

these, you know, electronic sounds and guitars

and and, you know, effects pedals on the guitars.

And I just I was doing a lot of listening. And

I was learning a lot from from Chris, especially

because of his all of his work, you know, playing

in bands and stuff. And and, of course, Michael

as well. And so I just anytime I found something

interesting, I thought, OK, maybe this is something

cool I can incorporate at some point. So I probably

took something from my musical spice rack and

just added it to this episode. So thank you for

the shout out. And I'll go analyze it and write

a little dissertation about it. I mean, it's

just one of those things where, again, as I mentioned

earlier about hearing the music outside of the

episode itself, it's like I've seen that episode

so many times over the last 25 years or whenever

it originally released, but the show originally

released 25 years ago, that I'm the type of person

that if I hear something enough times, I can

immediately, as soon as it comes on, I'm like,

that's from that, from this era, from this, this.

whatever and and lost soul just has tracks in

it where i'm like i know it's that scene i know

it's that scene and i know it's that scene meanwhile

christopher terry and batman meet earth mover

now these are two separate tracks terry meets

earth mover and batman meets earth mover earth

mover's not the best episode Season two, unfortunately,

but the music is amazing. How did you go about,

because those two tracks, very different from

each other, because it's Terry S. himself outside

the Batsuit meeting the Earthmover character,

and then it's Batman. How did the juxtaposition

of those two happen? I want to say that I understand

your feeling about the episode. The episode actually

touched something in me. emotionally very much

and i don't know what it was i found it so incredibly

tragic i was i was really moved to find out you

know earthmover is this trapped lost soul underground

and how it was just so i was just very moved

by the tragicness of the story and that uh being

really moved in that way really influenced the

uh the way that that i approached the whole score

i tend to i think with my naming conventions,

when I name the cues. I'm not doing some kind

of groaner of a pun on something, because I do

plenty of those in my titles. I do sometimes

make a connection of this person does this, and

this person does this, and this person does this,

even if the show isn't really constructed that

way. So I don't think that these cues, apart

from their names, are really related. Yeah, I

just know that the whole overall episode was

very angry and very angsty. It colored every

single cue based on who, you know, who was in

the situation, who was the focus of the scene.

And that's why, you know, they're titled that

way. But apart from that, there wasn't really,

you know, a connection. See, I thought there

was because, again, you have Terry McGinnis outside

the Batsuit just as himself. meeting the character

for the first time, and then you have him coming

back and meeting it as Batman, as it is said

in the other episode in Lost Soul, just because

the suit is out of commission, Batman isn't out

of commission. Yeah. I mean, I think that whole

idea of who is Batman and is he more than just

a suit is asked quite a lot in this series just

because the suit... is uh just so amazing in

all the technology and you know but um yeah no

i i uh i i guess like lolita will say i think

there probably is some kind of deep musicological

connection that i would like to uh expand but

i'm unable right now so we'll just have to go

with that you know it is what it is And then

for me, what always catches me in these cartoons,

and these are the things, and I'm glad that you

all, you know, doing it the way you're doing

it now, and the way that it was done in the past

with releasing the physical releases with La

La Land Records and all that stuff, when you're

all working with them, I love any time a specific

separate cue shows up. So the video game source

cues, Michael. Thank you. Oh, you're welcome.

And the news source, Q Lolita from Lasol, because

I just I love those little things because they

it doesn't need to be a big sweeping moment.

It can be something is so subtle as whatever

it is. And it's just like, hey, I remember that.

Oh, hey, that's cool. That's that's awesome.

So. The mixture in of the source. I love source

music because it is so fun at times. So do each

of you. We will start with Christopher. What

is each of you all's favorite track from Volume

2? Oh, I wish we could come back to me. All right.

Well, you can pass. Lolita, what about you? I

can go first. Yeah, I think we're going to hum

and ha this around. I'm out of options. It's

your turn to hum and ha, and by that point, I'll

have it figured out. No, I know I have a favorite

track. So my favorite track from this group of

cues, and I'm only going to say favorite because

I think it's a really good listen, is De -Splicing

and Taxidermy Part 2. Yes! My second favorite

track is Girlfriend from Hell Part 2. But there's

just I think desplicing and taxidermy. Like if

you don't know the show and you don't know the

score and you're coming to this fresh, you could

listen to that one track and it would, you know,

it would set you up. That's how I feel about

it. And it's something that I feel like it could

be something that could be, you know, it doesn't

have to be from a show. It could just be, you

know, an instrumental on its own and it would

be viable. So, I mean, I don't know. Desplicing

and taxidermy part two was I thought it really.

It really kind of set the whole soundtrack up

pretty well. Absolutely. And then Girlfriend

from Hell Part 2. That robot, man. The title

says it all. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? She was

a mess. You don't want that. You don't want that

girlfriend. No, no, no, no. You do, but you don't.

Not when the green eyes of jealousy come out

just because you said hello to somebody. Yikes.

Yeah. Those sparks are not sparks of love. No.

I have to narrow it down to three and maybe two,

but definitely my favorite action -y kind of

cue happens to be VR Room Brawl from Hooked Up,

just because I really love the bass line from

that, and it's just such a fun, cool groove as

a piece of music, and I just really enjoyed that

track a lot. In Mind Games... Batman vs. Albino

was a whole thing that actually Bruce Timm put

a lot of emphasis on. He really wanted something

very epic and very – he wanted this combination

of epic and ancient and action -y. So I thought

that was kind of a unique opportunity to write

something interesting for the music. And the

last part, just from a – An emotional spot, just

again, because I was so taken of the episode

story, just Earthmover Defeated in general, just

that whole sad part. There's a children's choir,

and there's just a lot of emotion that meant

a lot to me as a creative person. I was pouring

into that score. So Earthmover Defeated is definitely

my favorite from an emotional place. Okay, my

turn. She says reluctantly. I'm actually going

to go with, not me, I'm going to go with two

tracks. I love the groove that Chris created

for Earthmover up in the air thing when he's

up. I can't sing it, but Earthmover airborne.

And then there's this cute, and I don't know

which episode it's in, but it's called Penthouse

something thing that Mike did, which is like,

it's kind of. Anyway, it's a, you know, I, it's

just, it's like. I love when my, when my teammates

like, like surprise me and just, again, like

I use the concept of plussing it, you know? Yeah.

Penthouse is from Bloodsport. Yeah. Very, very

cool. So yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yeah. Like I've

said before, and I'll, I'll say it again. Batman

Beyond is in my blood. And once I, once I saw

the track list, I'm like, okay, I have to go

down by each, all 98 tracks. I have to make sure

I'm correct in saying, that these are the episodes

that these songs are from. And literally, I have

a list right here of the, I don't know, 10 episodes.

Yeah, 10 episodes in Volume 2 so far. So yeah,

10 episodes for Volume 2, 98 tracks. And yeah,

the penthouse thing was, it's the beginning of

that episode. You don't know what's going to

happen, but you know there's a new character

in town, the stalker character. And again, it's

that subtlety of that track that opens that episode.

I hope you have our handy dandy guide that tells

you what the tracks are and what episodes they're

from. I was literally saying the same thing.

One of the problems of digital releases, of course,

is there's not this cool booklet like you would

have if you bought a CD. But we have a printed

list of the episodes. And the track breakdowns

and what episode each track is from, that is

available to all your listeners if they have

not signed up yet to our DMP VIP mailing list.

So we'll be sure – if you go to our website,

you can find a link to sign up for it, and you

will get this sent to your email box, a PDF that

you can print out to have your own list to refer

to as well. There you go, folks. Yeah, go over

to their website. Their link to their website

will be in the show notes for this episode on

geekastro .com. I did it the old -fashioned way.

I have the episode list from the Blu -ray, and

then I just did the math. And I don't like doing

math. So my favorite tracks from each of you,

and I kind of cheated because... On Chris, like

I said, I had to put Terry and Batman meet Earthmover

together because to me they just kind of flow

together. So technically Chris gets two tracks.

I guess I could pick two for everybody else as

well. But, Michael, going back to Terry's friend

dates a robot, the party's over. Oh. Again, it's

the. I do love the big action. Like I already

mentioned about VR room brawl. Like I do love

the big, but in this show, with as much action

as this show is, finding those subtle moments

in the show and in the music is really what gets

me. And The Party's Over just has that, okay,

folks, you can go home now. Nothing more to see

here. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, no, I mean, it's

an action -adventure show, and when there's a

cue that's not action or adventure, it's always

nice to do something different. And I always

felt like those cues that were not action cues

or adventure cues or having anything to do with

fighting or anything like that, I thought those

cues were always really special, so I always

kind of tried to treat them with TLC, so I'm

glad you noticed. yeah absolutely and then another

michael q that i will say actually let's see

here barbara finding the teacher and max on max

or maxoid from uh from zeta because these episodes

don't have like we know most of us know that

this show is the passing of the torch it's Bruce

Wayne giving the mantle over to Terry McGinnis.

It doesn't really have a lot. And this selection

of episodes, Barbara Gordon is not in a lot of

them, and she was in that section. And I just

love the way you did the music for that. Well,

thank you. She's a great character. Yes, she

is. And then for Lolita, it's max downloads for

Terry and ending. So max downloads for Terry

is from, Oh, I think I would know this by now.

Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. Once burned. That's right.

Yeah. So once burned, that was the, that was

the Royal flush gang episode and she has to cover

for him and all that. And I just absolutely love.

And again, you know, people will say, oh, Max

Gibson, she was a sidekick. She was a little

more than that. Come on, people. They had to

do something with this show. They couldn't just

throw in Robin Beyond and Riddler Beyond and

whatever. The music with the whole royal flush,

it seemed like it was, to me, kind of a lot of

like swimmy, kind of sexy, swimmy kind of music,

which kind of was fun. A lot of scooping. Yep.

And then, interestingly, though, ending is an

oops, actually. It should be on the first volume.

Should it? Really? Yes. And I didn't it was left

off of some official, even legal documents that

track the music for, you know, for where it's

played and how it's played. And so it wasn't

in our it wasn't in my I wasn't even thinking

of it. I was just going by actually, you know,

these sheets that, you know, like, oh, this is

this cue from this episode. And our secret wonderful

helper actually said, you know, this, you know,

this piece is missing. You know, where is the

piece? So, you know, it's like, I don't know,

Michael, if our source would want to be revealed.

But anyway. No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't.

Please don't. OK, so anyway, so it's and it's

actually. Yeah, I mean, it is a really good piece

if I do say so myself. But it's it's one of those

that it was like, I mean, I can't believe I forgot

to put it on there because I was just going on

autopilot. So we have it on on volume two. So

I want you to know that even though it wasn't

on volume one, I remembered that piece from all

those years ago. And I remember hearing that

piece. I don't know if it was when you were.

scoring it or mixing it but i actually remember

the tune and could sing the tune and so when

we discovered that it was missing it was like

well you have to do this you you have to do this

it's that good it must be there so i'm really

glad that it's on there yeah it's a great piece

so so originally it was and correct me if i'm

wrong in this originally it was supposed to come

between dated disc batman warrens and batman

visits paxton by you lolita and then it was supposed

to be between that and the end theme by christopher

correct it's at the end of it's close to the

end of the show yeah yeah yeah that's what i

thought uh that yeah but again it's one of those

things where it's here on volume two and that's

what makes volume two such a different animal

than volume one where it brings you right into

the show. It's kind of like how cartoons changed

over the years. In the 80s, cartoons, and Michael

will probably connect with me a little bit more

on this than you guys will, and you guys maybe

too, but cartoons in the 80s, you started with

the theme song. You started with that opening.

You watch He -Man and the Masters of the Universe.

It's da -da -da -da -da, da -da -da -da -da,

I'm going to punch you in the face, blah -blah

-blah -blah -blah. Well, somewhere between, I

want to say, 2000 to now, some cartoons have

changed to where they do a little intro clip.

Batman Beyond didn't do this, I don't think,

for as far as I remember. But some cartoons now

will do this intro clip where... They'll have

like a minute and a half, two minute scene or

whatever. Sometimes it's longer depending on

what you're watching. And then they'll throw

in the opening title sequence, whatever it is.

So I think that's cool between volume one and

volume two that you all have found a way to just

get right into the show with the first track.

Chelsea gets spliced slash Bruce Covier comments

and then ending it with. With endings. Or with

ending, I should say. No S. So that's interesting.

That's awesome. And that offers a different way

to hear the music. Yeah. Cool. All right. So

I asked before, and I'm going to ask again, because

I want to know, when will Volume 3 be in our

ears and what's going to be on it? Life is a

mystery, Mike, isn't it? You know, we never know.

We have to react to what's happening in the world.

We have to react to see how many people are interested

in volume two as well. So, you know, it's like

if we have enough people, you know, going out

there and streaming this or or those who can

afford it, you know, down buying it. You know,

I think things might move faster. I mean, we

don't we don't really know, but we want to get

it all out there for sure. I know you all do.

And the other thing that. that occurred to me

before doing the interview today is that, uh,

next year is the God, this hurts my head. It's

the 25th anniversary of return of the Joker.

And that has only ever had one CD release from

years ago. Yeah. So is that in the plans? I'm

not asking when, but as I am assuming that's

in the plans at some point down the line, right?

It's definitely on the table. I wouldn't have

anything contemplated of where that would fit

into the release strategy. But yeah, I mean,

you know, it's definitely, you know, Batman Beyond

had a CD release. The series had a CD release.

We're just thrilled that the two volumes we've

released so far have been able to add so much

more dimension and so much more complete, you

know, record of the music from the show. So,

yeah. These movies that were associated with

the series, I know all of them we would love

to see more complete updated releases to, for

sure. Complete release is the best release, honestly,

because those 14 tracks, I think I just looked

at it. Yeah, I just looked at it. 14 tracks.

That's not enough. Sorry. Sorry, not sorry. 14

tracks. Just not enough. Well, we have set the

bar kind of high with like 99 tracks. You'd think,

yeah, like, you know. But, hey, absolutely love

it. And, yes, folks, go check out on whatever

music streaming service you use, whether you're

streaming it, whether you're purchasing it on

iTunes. Yes, iTunes is still a thing. I will

forever say that until Apple kills it. But iTunes

is still a thing. You can still purchase music

on iTunes. Amazon as well. Yes. Mike, we have

a single link that actually will offer you a

menu of all the different places you can both

stream and purchase it. And we'll be sure to

give that to you so you can have it on the show

to you. Sounds good, sounds good. All right,

before we go, is there anything else that any

of you all would like to say? I just want to

say that we're just thrilled that people are

listening to the albums. It does make a difference.

It definitely does help. you know the numbers

do help move ahead with with the other ones that

we're contemplating and so all the support means

the world to us for sure yeah absolutely and

just just yeah the fans support all these years

and then the new fans people that just just discover

the show just you know this year and it's and

it's it i think it the i think that show holds

up so well and it i i just think the work on

it um from all you know all the writers producers

etc there it's just so outstanding so it's just

you know to be able to be part of that legacy

and to have new people discover it is just it's

it's it means the world to the world to us absolutely

so thank you all and thank you mike for being

such a supporter of our work all these years

and for you know having us on once in a while

absolutely absolutely Yeah, I want to second

that. Thanks so much, Mike, because we don't

really have any formal marketing campaign. And,

you know, we're not some big record company that

has a department that has outreach and everything

like that. get the word out about our music and

what the fans do among themselves to get the

word out and to bring new people in is really

really valuable to us and we really really appreciate

it so thanks so much for all the support from

from you and from the others who've interviewed

us and from all the fans who continue to spread

the good word yeah absolutely because again like

i've mentioned all the music is great it's amazing

some of the music It's great. It's amazing. But

we really want it all. Give it all to us. We

want everything. I don't remember if I've written

up a specific... I know I've written up several.

I've got to fix that image. I don't remember

if I wrote up a specific soundtrack blog entry

for this, but... I will be writing up one for

Volume 2. I think I wrote one up for Volume 1.

I don't remember. I usually do that. Usually

I have it done before the interview. But I don't

know if I did that this last time with Volume

1. So anyway, that's going to do it for us here

on Geekcast Radio, Legends of the Dark Knight,

all that good stuff. Coming up next, I have no

idea what's going on. All I know is I've got

to go back in and recheck this Batman Beyond

Music stuff and make sure I've written stuff

up and everything else. So for now, I've been

TF2 and Mike with... Christopher Carter. Lolita

Romanes. And Michael LaQuistion. Unleash the

geek in you, and we will catch you next time

here on Geekcast Radio Network. And there's the

moon in the background. Like that old song, April

Moon? Yeah. Hi, this is Kevin Conroy, and you're

listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. The

voice kept calling me Bruce. In my mind, that's

not what I call myself. What do you call yourself?

Oh, yeah. I suppose you would. But that's my

name now. Hmm. Tell that to my subconscious.
