Hi all. Normally this place is for "fun" content. The majority of people that come to my site are either industry professionals, friends, family, some locals and a few fans. My normal spiel consists of my New Noize playlist, some fun talking points to hype and highlight artists on the New Noize playlist, and to inform the public off all things New Noize related. I pack in some humor, a collage of gifs and other content related to some other interests like sneakers, video games, food, movies, anime and anything Game of Thrones related. This week is different.

Santa Barbara area was ravaged by fires late last year. Over the past week or so it rained and with the downpour came and avalanche of mud which destroyed everything in its path. Lives have been lost, property has been obliterated, roads (including the 101) have been shut down, people cant get to and from work, kids cant get to school, Buisness have lost revenue and people are still missing. It felt wrong this week to do my normal song and dance here so instead I want to reflect.

I will say through all this darkness there has been an outpouring of humanity showing its best. Our community has once again come together in the face of this adversity and is dealing with it head on. Neighbors helping neighbors. People putting aside their differences and uplifting each other regardless of class, color or creed. In a world so divided its is amazing to see people come together when it really counts. 

Happy Martin Luther King JR day.  See you next week.

If you are reading this, congratulations you have made it to 2018! I woke up to mudslides, flooding and worst of all, NO INTERNET! Between the fires in late 2017 and the stormpocalypse 2018 SoCal can't catch a break. You know one of the contributing factors of me leaving NJ was for the weather here in Santa Barbara. The 101 is closed both ways due to mud all over the highway but hey at least its above 9 degrees. 

Enough about the weather lets talk New Noize! This is the 1st official show of the 2018 season and its one of my favorite times of year. I started the program off with a Mexican female duo that loves the shoegaze style. Their single "Ojos En el Carro" sounds like Beach House if Beach House wanted to do a Sun 0))) record. There is also a new Black Rebel Motorcycle Club single that is pretty kick ass and I mixed in the "Same About You" a new track from A Day to Remember. I dove a bit deeper into the full length from Sl0tface and I still don't know how I feel about the record. I have listed to it a hand full of times and I don't know whats my problem. 

In hour 2 I wanted to go with something completely off the wall and think I hit my mark with Shirt's "Flight Home" He is the 1st "hip hop" artists signed to Thirdman records. Thirdman has put out some 45's as well as live records from hip hop artists (Shabazz Palaces) but Shirt is officially on the Thirdman roster. I got a fan phone call about the Riton and Kah-Lo track "Fake I.D.", which is a pop blast of fun and also ultra depressing when I started to recall the days I needed a fake I.D. Why am I so old?

In other news we are only a few weeks away from one of the most anticipated video games of 2018. Im talking about Dragon Ball Fighters Z. Open Beta is going down this weekend to everyone who pre-ordered it. Hit me up if you want to throw down on the PS4. MenglerMeng is the name, Kamehameha waves are my game. 

See ya

A few more weeks left in 2017 and we are winding down here at New Noize. This past Sundays playlist was a nice swatch of whats to come for the early days of 2018. In hour 2 I played back to back tracks featuring Ghostface Killah of the Almighty Wu Tang Clan. The 1st track is a reissue that Mello Music group is putting out. It's taken from the "brown tape" a project by GHK and Apollo Brown which originally was released on the failed RZA's label known as Soul Temple. I am still out 100+ after pre ordering a special edition vinyl set, which blows cause all of the music that came out on Soul Temple was insanely good. The 2nd track feature's Pretty Tony on a track by Dabrye. I am curious to see who else was enlisted by Dabrye for his new album. Also in hour 2 I dropped the new Planet Asia, good to see him back in the studio making banger after banger. Got some metal action going with Hamferð, Electric Wizard, & Harms Way. 

FIRE UPDATE! So I am in the Thomas Fire area which has blown up to be the 3rd largest wildfire in California's recorded history. As of now me and the little lady are out of the evacuation area and I see blue skies off my balcony after 2 weeks of smoked filled nastiness. Hopefully this trend continues and this fire finally wants to die down. These firefighters are out of this world brave and to see their deification to fighting this blazing inferno is awe inspiring. Mass respect to these cats.

Next week I will be in the studio for Christmas Eve and this upcoming New Noize will be filled with holiday themed music. Even though I am Muslim I LOVE ME SO FREAKIN CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Especially when my favorite artists and bands do these covers of Christmas classic. Its like my favorite drink, hot chocolate with Baileys, try it and you will see what I see.

Till next Sunday you Nutcrackers...
