This past Sunday the "Industry" was out in full force for the Grammys. I always have mixed feelings about this particular awards show, namely who wins. I mean I think we all would agree the Adele has an incredible voice and can blow the pants off of anyone who steps up into her domain EXCEPT FOR THE BOSS LEVEL RPG G-O-D BEYONCE.

How Lemonade didn't dominate the Grammys landscape is beyond me, I mean did you see her performance? Looking like a remixed Shiva with gold on gold on gold she mesmerised all eyes, the only thing missing was psilocybin mixing with my blood to enhance the visuals she was throwing. Talking about performances that's what I'd rather focus on and there were some standouts. Bruno did his Prince thing, and yes Lady GaGa donned the metal veil and joined Metallica, broken mics and all. The night belonged to the TRIBE though. After Anderson Paak wowed the crowed the on-stage transition revealed Busta Bust aka Busta Rhymes flanked by the one and only Tip aka Q-Tip talking directly to the Cheeto in charge and proceeded to medly some new and old Tribe Called Quest tracks. Oh and MEGADEATH  beat out Metallica for an award, so that's a 1st. My favorite Grammy moment didn't even happen on-stage, it was going on during the entire awards show and it was centered around the snubbed but loved Rihanna. RiRi brought a diamond studded flask cause you know, shes a badass. 

New Noize was pretty dope this past Sunday as well. I PLAYED NEW MIA!!!!!!!! POWA gives me power, they hype levels are over 9000.

I also got my mits on the new Priests album and it has been in constant rotation on my iPod(classic status). I dived deeper into some new full lengths  releases including SOHN, Sampha, Japandroids & Thievery Corporation.

See ya next Sunday...

Did you see what Lady GaGa did last night? So did I!!! How much gusto does this little white lady have? I DON'T CARE what anyone says, the amount of bravery it takes to jump off the roof of the Houston Texans Dome is something very few people have and apparently Lady GaGa is one of those people. Plus you know the whole thing about the New England Patriots coming back from the biggest Super Bowl deficit EVER! As a NY Giants fan there are few things I hate more than the Patriots (the Cowboys hold that #1 hate spot) but even I can appreciate the immense talent of Tom FREAKING Brady. That guy threw for over 400 yards and willed that win, pretty fantastic stuff. If you are an Atlanta Falcons fan odds are you probably called out sick this Monday. What a game. 

This Sunday was also witness to another New Noize. 

*****Brief side note, I have covered the Reggae specialty show “The Reggae Soundclash” for the past 3 weeks now, pretty sure I’m sporting dreads*****

Each Sunday keeps getting better not because I can weave some amazing playlists, it’s because there is so much new music coming out its a bit like 2016 all over again (not a bad thing). During the New Noize set I got in some deeper cuts form the new Strand of Oak,Ty Segall, Japandroids and Bonobo. Father John Misty has released 3 new songs (and videos) as of today and they hype just keeps growing for his upcoming record. The super group Crystal Fairy keeps impressing with their new single Chiseler. Despite the woes that are being felt in the A-T-L area after those dirty birds did not finish comes great news. One of my “unicorn bands”(bands for some reason the cosmos don’t want me to see live) Mastodon has released a new single and you know your boy spun it. 

In gaming news nothing…JK yo. I was thinking about picking up Nioh, but then I read a review saying this was “Dark Souls with Samurais” and I quickly lost interest. BUT For Honor has sparked the fire of interest and I will be rocking that come Valentines day.

Another Sunday in the books and I must say I'm killing it, but enough about what you already know.  

Can't get enough of Crumb!!!!! I only have a 3 song sampler/EP thing thing from the label pusher and I gotta get my hands on more. Looking forward to that Father John Misty record, if this new single and video is the theme for his new LP then my expectations are high. And while we are on the subject of being HIGH how HIGH was Ty Segall self titled new album. I think it's his best work yet, and while we are on the subject of kick ass white dudes making music, hour 2 kicked off with Thundercat enlisting Michael McDonald and Santa Barbara local Kenny Loggins on a new track called "Show You the Way”. Pretty sure Thundercat can balance the United States budget, bring peace to the Middle East and create Vegeta’s “Final Flash” attack when he's not making kick as jams. MAD SHOUTOUTS to Stonesthrow, they are bringing some serious heat in Q1 of 2017, so much so I had to give em a block. 

Now lets get personal. I have it easy when it comes to being Muslim on SoCal, people are fairly laid back and not to aggressive in my sleepy Shangri-La beach town. Other brothers and sisters don’t have it as good as I do. Don’t get me wrong, Santa Barbara is no cake walk, but at least I’m not in Tampa. Big UPS to all my peeps holding it down for the international fam at JFK, SFO, LAX and all the other international airports where people are taking it to the streets with action.
