7. Bill Kiley "You Will Never Know" Katana Zero OST

Fresh off the heels of its a start of a new week which means another New Noize in the books. Started the show off with 2 shades of metal from Japan. MONO new release did come out in January so I was a bit late out the gate but better late than never. Nowhere, Now Here is fantastic. Another record that I have been pumping on the last few shows was the new EDON record, Boy Meets Girl. If you are a fan of this band or Noise Rock in general this is a must pick.

I hit the video game soundtracks pretty hard. ToeJam and Earl are back next week. I reached out to the developers and they were more than happy to give me this OST early to drop some intergalactic funkatron audio, seriously Big Earl has some sweet bass line licks. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove! launches March 1st on Steam, Xbox 1, PS4, and Nintendo Switch digital stores. It's an all new adventure game...from 1991. Grab a homie and play a new gig every time. Katana Zero is coming out "soon" via Devolver Games and if you know that game company than you know they games they put put have killer soundtracks (Hotline Miami) Katana Zero devs were not so giving but thats cool, i got a free single that I spun on this past weeks show, download it here. Oh and I hit the another track off the Wargroove OST, game is BANANAS hard but the ultra cute pixel art and dynamic soundtrack keep me focused as I make poor strategic RTS decisions.

HOW HAVE YOU NOT PICKED UP CZARFACE MEETS GHOSTFACE OR MALIBU KEN YET? Both albums are hyper strange and crazy good. Also follow Esoteric Instagram account, especially if you are 35+ and into hip-hop, its hilarious. Right now hes beefing with GENIUS the app that puts out lyrics, his flaming of the company is relentlessly and provides nonstop humor.

Can Stephen Malkmus do any wrong? IDK but the dude is incapable of writing a bad song, this guy is the Master Roshi of indie rock.

***SIDE NOTE---Could you imagine if the #MeToo movement applied to Master Roshi, dude would be done***

Also I have no idea who WAAX is but WAAX is the jam so I must dive deeper.

Last thing, big ups to the Spider-Verse webbing up an Oscar, if you haven't watched this movie and are from the Tri-State and are a person of color prepare to get emotional.

WHY IS IT SO DAMN COLD IN SANTA BARBARA? I mean for reals. Yes i get it "its not the east coast". AS the locals would respond "whatever", what can i say over the past 15 years or so my body has acclimated to this temperature and global warming is messing up my scene.

If global warming is bring you down at least you have New Noize, which is partially powered by solar, and what a solar powered 2 hour show it was. So much new music is dropping this year its a bit ridiculous.

I am going to highlight 1 thing that should be on your radar for all my collaborations head out there. Just to be clear I am not talking about the recent Les Claypool Sean Lennon "The Claypool Lennon Delirium" collab (which EVERYONE should be on as I have played the crap out of this the past few weeks) I am talking about Malibu Ken. Sporting one of the ugliest album covers of an adolescent garbage pale kid, Malibu Ken is comprised of Aesop Rock and TOBACCO. Both these cats are weird stand alone but combined they produce a record that resets your notion of traditional musical genres. Its abstract, experimental, brash & a whole-lotta fun. If you are looking for an album that is extremely different but very familiar this is your record, trust in your boy.

the Umbrella Academy is out on Netflix and holy #5 this show has taken over the month of February. This one hits all the bells and whistles of how a comic book series should be translated. Netflix can stop producing amazing comic book adaptations and this one is up there. The cast was selected perfectly, each actor brings these people to life and please PLEASE give whoever the show-runner is a high five form me. Oh and #5, thats my DUDE. Oh did I mention that Mary J Blige is an assassin, spoiler alert. in Now I am just waiting for Netflix to announce a 2nd season then at its height suddenly pull it like they have ALL the MARVEL series.

Last thing last., Desus and Mero are back on Showtime, so now I have to buy showtime. The brand is strong.

See you next Sunday.

Welcome to another week of new music discovery, and I KNOW you all are thirsty for this past Sunday's New Noize drop as last week was the Super Bowl. Looking back at the big game I should have just done my show but what are you going to do?

This week was marked with some heavy hitters and some extra buzz was floating around since we had the Grammy's. Did I watch it yet? No, I was working New Noize but I will be viewing this madness later this week, no spoilers (not really as I am tethered to twitter) .

One of my favorite bands to emerge out of the Japanese scene in the past 5 years is Chai. If you haven't heard of these 4 ladies no worries as they will be on everybody's radar in 2019. They did a Japanese only EP (which by the way makes no sense since you would think Spotify would have it, hopefully, the band discovers SoundCloud soon) They had a full record drop in 2017 called PINK and that's where I fell in love.

***SIDE TANGENT - If you are a Japanese band I think you have to have at least 1 PINK record, reference BORIS PINK, that album rips so hard***

Their new single is called Fashionista and its the best.

Staying in Japan for a second no small charcoal grills here just the pure sounds of EDON. Although I have never been to one of their live events judging by this crescendo of sounds the shows are probably a spectacle to behold.

The beloved Butcherettes are BACK with bi/Mental. Why Theresa Suarez is not headlining Coachella at this point is lost on me. This band should be much bigger as one can hear from this colossal album. The constantly evolving sound of Le Butcherettes is something to behold, they have a signature sound that translates throughout all of their work and whereas the last record they released was a build up of all that they learned, bi/mental is flipping that sideways showing a different angle of their rock style.

Big surprise this week for me was the new Panda Bear record, I mean did anyone else see this one coming? I personally prefer Panda Bear over Animal Collective as Panda Bear is a bit more droney and faster paced BUT on their new record, Buoys, takes a slower step with a focus on looping sounds rather than droning it out. IDK how I feel about it but a couple more spins will correct that.

OH and in video game news WARGOOVE is out and is getting rave reviews. The gameplay, story, graphics and yes even the music are racking up accolades. In fact I was able to secure the OST to Wargroove and dropped a juicy jam in my mix, unfortunately, this music is not on Spotify yet. Today Spotify release a nice chunk of video game music all from Capcom and hopefully, someone over there realizes how valuable video game music is and starts curating. Also if anyone from Spotify is reading this I can do just that, hit me up! No, for reals though I really want to do this so please reach out.

And I will reach out next week for another New Noize. Sorry about the Tuesday lateness.
