Don't Sleep.....

On Sleepy Brown! When Sleepy gives you a track this good to start your week with you have to say 'thanks Sleepy' and 'thanks BATLAW'. Grab y'girl, put her in your Cadillac and start rollin. If your Cadillac happens to be your bike that's fine too. Throw her on the back Thai style and roll. This is 100% Love and 0% War.

Notice body positioning and happy faces:



I'll make sure you can download all these tracks just as soon as I can.


Little late on this one, but can't not post about this. Flipped through NYT Design issue this weekend and as the inky pages were a flippin, my eyes caught THIS:

Keith Richards X Louis Vuitton




This is legendary. This is Rock and Roll
X Sex
X Drugs
X Jail
X Tax evasion
X Being hit on the head with French luxury and falling out of a tree
X Being dead but not dead at all
X BAD ASS.

Put all that in a needle and inject life straight into your brain. This is 50% Love and 50% war. Exactly what we're looking for.
If you're wondering what Love and War means and why I'm Busy At it, the entire concept is captured in this photograph. Just stare at it long enough and it will all become clear.

like whoa.

It's a heck of a day!

It's FRIDAY!

News:

Enjoy the new track on the boombox- Solta o Frango by Bonde Do Role. I hope your weekend sounds exactly like this song.
If it does then comment on this post and tell me exactly what went down and to whom!!
Now go turn metal in to GOLD!

Lots of Zach talk last night, however the person I was talking to had never seen this. so Raven!!! funny, right? Made me laugh. a lot.



Last night someone actually mentioned THIS blog (BATLAW) without me telling them about it or mentioning it at all. shit. people actually know about this??? Time to step it up.

Expect big things on Monday.

Have good weekending!!

lil bit of this to go?? ok fine.

All together now!

As promised, with every new post comes a new track. I listened to Rich Girls by The Virgins about a thousand times yesterday. Then I listened to it a few more times in my sleep, while I dreamt about BATLAW.

I also finally gave Handsome Furs a chance. Finally.

They make me want to lock myself in the basement for 8 months and come out with an album of my own that sounds exactly like theirs. Check em if you haven't already.

Hope you enjoy the colorful new logo. It's a bit big for me, but I don't know how to tame that beast.

Enjoy the first track on my lame ass, half cutt off player..this blog will get better, or worse, as I become more and more of a nerd. This song should be hardwired in bikes and programmed to only come on through speakers in the handlebars at 6am as the sun is coming up. then your bike goes all ET on you and you fly home and land in bed with all your friends. good track. It's definetly in the thousands.

So, now on with the show..............
