We are on the cusp of a thickness of interesting shows coming through the area as well as some music drops this month. Autolux and M83 are high on my list this month and NO the label still as not sent me the full lengths, sad face. Talking about labels not being on their game, I reached out to Mad Decent for the new Baauer album but got crickets. Looks like I will have to but this one to spin it, new MIA track on this so its a must.

New Iggy Pop record is very good, it's one of those records where you will notice something new every-time you listen to it

Seeing Bleached tomorrow night at great little venue here in town, Velvet Jones if your stalking.

Oh and I watched Batman VS Superman and it was a terrible movie but the beer helped. OK it wasn't THAT bad, if you are a DC fanboy there are a few things that were great about the flick, but at the end of the day it was not a "good" movie, but I had fun. Ben as an older "Frank Miller" Batman was the best thing about this, and for reals Ben can be Batman whenever he wants. I will always prefer Adam West though...

Killer week in new music, got my vinyls from Burger Records and have been spinning Glitterbust on the home studio, so freaking good.

It especially pairs well with the Division, new 3rd person shooter created by Ubisoft. How do I listen to vinyls while playing video games? Simple, I turn off the game music but keep the voice and sound effects on and blast that through the TV. Then I crank my stereo and boom, greatness! I highly recommend turning the subtitles on.

Oh and I FINALLY got the soundtrack to Star Wars Force Awakens and had to give Snoke some love. Im gonna retire Star Wars HeadSpace from future playlists, ever since I got the record I have been playing it on New Noize, one of the best albums of 2016. If you haven’t heard it yet just buy the album and hit play, its amazing from cover to cover.

Oh and can we talk about video games some more? The Division is a great so far, but the game of the month hands down is BROFORCE! It just shows you that you don’t have insane graphics as long as you have solid gameplay. I HIGHLY recommend this game, its one of my favs for 2016 so far…

In April Destiny is dropping an update, I guess they are feeling the heat from the Division. Will I play it, OF COURSE!!! But IDK how long my Destiny passion will burn, come May its DOOM time then NO MAN SKY on June 21, and lets not even get into PSVR, 2016 is definitely the year of the gamer.

It official. IM GOING TO JAPAN!

Plan is to leave Friday the 13th and come back memorial day weekend. I figured since I am turing 36 I should Enter the 36th Chamber. (I realize that this is a Wu-Tang reference to a Shaw brothers movie which is a Chinese kung-fu flick so slow down on the nerd rage.)

Please feel free to give me any and all advice you may have. If you know of dope music venues let a dude know. If you have any bands I should check out while I’m out there let me know. If you know where I can ride a dragon while drinking sake as I battle Gundam forces, let me know. I am trying to connect to a bunch of labels right now as I spin a nice amount of Japanese bands on #NewNoize
