It's the return of your favorite weekly new music show, did you miss me? I know you didn't but I live here so let's get into what we get into.

I missed a few Sundays and a lot of amazing albums came out which I obviously couldn't fit all into this 2 hour set return so don't  @ me. 

The New Noize song of the Week belongs to bar italia with "my little tony". PURE BANGER.

Staying on bangers Doja Cat's new album Scarlet is one of the best records of the year. NO FEATURES, that's confidence and rare these days from an artist of this caliber in the current musical climate. Scarlet is personal, hard, aggressive, insightful, hilariously honest, and unapologetically Doja. She flexed on this project and created her best hip-hop record cover to cover. This deserves more than a moment of your time. Side note, I don't think you know how hard it was for me not to pick the new Mitski album for this week's New Noize Album of the Week but no worries I will bear this burden.

Oh, how was Chicago? Amazing. I ate haleem, finally saw K&D, rocked out with Queens of the Stone Age at Riot Fest along with many friends, took an educational boat ride and now I am an architect genius and celebrated an ex-radio DJ's 40th.  

I'll see you next week.

I think we can all agree that the 4 day work week needs to be an every-week kinda thing.

What's up party people New Noize update is a day late cause of Labor Day, apologies all around. Only 4 months left until 2023 is done and is it just me or did summer fly by? Before I start on my fall madness let's talk New Noize

Song of the Week goes to Wajatta with "Again And Again".

The New Noize Album of the Week is more like the "EP" from SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE with "i'm so lucky" that dropped on Friday. It almost as weird as I feel.

A bit of a New Noize update for the next few Sundays, there will be no New Noize. I will be in Chicago trying to get into Riot Fest among other things. If you have any suggestions on other things let me know.

See you in a few Sundays.

I had a way better "pre-weekend" than you.

Thursday. I headed down to LA, had a killer smashburger from this spot called Heavy Handed and they hooked me up with free rolling papers. A bit of advice, get the 2 patty smashburger, trust me. Then one of my best friends and I went to check out the Melvins and BORIS kick-off their tour.  I didn't know what BORIS was closing the show, lucky I got there early enough to see both acts. BORIS closed with the song "boris" by the Melvins, I was surprised that no actual Melvins were on stage for that but all good.

Friday. The cat is out of the bag, I saw the Wu-Tang Clan (sans GZA & CAPPA) play Deckers and got to meet the entier clan. Highlights:


Inspecta Deck: Was talking Czarace then my friend came up to me and Rebel INS was like "cool jacket".

U God: gave him a high five then he asked me where the free shit Deckers was giving out

MastaKilla: mad chill and humble.

Rae: Probably the coolest clan member next to Ghost. I had met him via Bishop Lamont a few years back and when I mentioned that he and I were chopping it up.

Ghostface: I have met Ghost a few times but never like this. Introductions were made and he was cool, funny, nice, and pretty damn sincere. I told him about the first time I met him on my 22nd at this go-go-bar called Lookers in Elizabeth NJ. Tony Starks definitely enjoyed that and we chopped it up for a few.  

RZA: totally blew me off but was nice about it.

Methodman: was surrounded by women so I didn't want to bother him.

Did I have something to do with the show? Yes. I consulted on this with the agency that booked the WTC. I am extremely proud and it took me a lot of time to get here so I feel, dare I say it, actually accomplished. I went with the WTC for various reasons but the one that made the most sense had to revolve around anniversaries. Specifically 50th annerversaeee. Hip Hop is celebrating 50 years and coincidentally so was Deckers! Sometimes the stars align. BONUS one of Ghost's producers gave me a song and you know I spun it during last night's set.

Ok OK Ok New Noize time. There was a bit of a country flare for the first half of the first hour of the set. Overall a pretty solid mix of diverseness that you are used to if you are a listener of this show.

Album of the Week goes to SPELLLING with "SPELLLING & The Mystery School"

Song of the Week goes to Shabazz Palaces(feat. Royce The Choice) with "Binoculars". So hyped for this full length whenever it drops.

Also who's going to Riot Fest cause I am.

See ya next week

Aye yo let's GO! What a week, the end of summer and it's been all gas all day. Between earthquakes, hurricanes, and throwing hadukens what's a dude to do? New Noize, that's the constant but even that did a bit of a switch, let me explain.

Here at NN I try to give you all things new and upcoming, which I did BUT with a bit of a twist.

First up Sonic Youth! The hope of this band doing a reunion show is, at this point, a fairy tale. Luckily reality did not disappoint as Sonic Youth released their last live performance from NYC, specifically Brooklyn, on vinyl, cassette, and streaming. What a quality recording with a killer set. (seriously fantastic job Goofin') Dropping the needle on this translucent wax I immediately felt this indescribable shockwave throughout my body. I forgot how good Sonic Youth was live and then remembered how long it was since I saw Sonic Youth. Much like Ron Burgundy, I was in a glass cage of emotion, but the good kind.

If that was the only new old thing releasing this past weekend I would have been more than content but Third Man Records was like, "Hold my beer". Somehow the druids of awesome that work at Mr. Jack White's label unearthed 2 relics.

 
First up Heatmiser. This obscure 90s Portland-based band music was hard AF to find growing up in NJ in the 90s. I had a cassette with a bunch of noise/grunge/indie bands from the west coast that I got from a dude that would sell me mix tapes. He just gave it to me because, and I quote "doesn't get all that shit" but apparently my 13-year-old self did. Needless to say Heatmiser was one of those bands on this free cassette. Fast forward to this past weekend and Third Man announces they are releasing "29-song compilation of previously unheard recordings" along with a demo version "Lowlife" which I played on New Noize last night. Again that's not all!!!

Third Man and BORIS are currently in a poly-label-relationship and we all are benefiting from this progressive lifestyle. Somehow Third Man Records pressed BORIS' Heavy Rocks (2002) for the first time here in the US plus got this record available for streaming. The first album in their three-part album Heavy Rocks series this record starts to define that BORIS has the ability to comment on a specific genre and turn it on its side while implementing their signature BORIS sound. This is also one of BORIS' most accessible albums compared to their previous work. Heavy Rocks features much shorter, contemporary-style songs but not compromising their heavy BORIS sound so it's weird that this album was so hard to get up until now. Post Heavy Rocks (2002) there is a shift in BORIS sound with their songs getting shorter giving way to albums like SMILE and their popular PINK album.  With all that said my hats off to humans at Third Man Records for making this a reality.

So this week we are changing it up. 

The New Noize Live Album of the Week goes to Sonic Youth "Sonic Youth (Live in Brooklyn 2011)" 

The New Noize Reissue of the Week goes to BORIS "Heavy Rocks (2002)

The fact I got to program and play two of my top five favorite bands of all time back to back is, at least for me, what it's all about. It's one of those priceless and personal moments that happens too rarely in life and this one was definitely not lost on me so thanks to reality. Also thank you for checking into New Noize. 

We will slap hi-fives next week, maybe.
