The last few days have been a whirlpool of happenings. It all started on Thursday when I saw Atmosphere and Iration, as the weekend progressed I shook down with Anderson Paak while somehow ignoring my crush TOKIMONSTA all while cutting it up with a friend who I haven't seen in 2 years as they now live in Australia. The hits keep coming as FLUME is playing at the SBBowl on the 1st

New Noize was in full effect this Sunday. The New Noize song of the Week goes to Johanna Warren with "Piscean Lover". It's a great song and i really hope this sets the tone for her upcoming record. As for the New Noize Album of the Week, that goes to Danger Mouse & Black Thought with Cheat Codes. Yes this record came out many MANY weeks ago but it is still new plus I played a track off it this past Sunday and it's my show.

Oh in video games I purchased the new SD Gundam Battle Alliance for the PS5 and I LOVE IT. It's ultra japanese and I am surprised that this title got a US release as these types of games are usually a Japanese exclusive. 

See ya next Sunday

SO MANY THINGS!!!!

OK in pressing news, Thirdman Records just announced they are repressing SLEEP's most recognizable album "dopesmoke" with real cannabis leaves! Obviously you must be in store to pick it up and I am sad I dont live in Detroit but then again I am not trying to catch a case (being Muslim and Pakistani has made for some interesting repackaging). This isn't thirdman records 1st time pressing flora into their wax. One of my favorite pressings to this day is the unplayable Raconteurs vault package where they used real tobacco leaves when they pressing it into existence (technically I can play it but the pressing I got has a HUGE vein in it from the tobacco leaf, i think it's ultra unique) It even smells different.

House of Dragons 1st episode in the books and it was GREAT! In related Game of Thrones news the Sound Composer Ramin Djawadi has another project that is about to be released called Diofield Chronicles, a unique RTS by Square Enix. Coming out at the end of the month (and the demo out now on PS5) the music sets the tone for this interactive strategy saga. 

---Talking video games I don't know if I am going to pick up SD Gundam Battle Alliance or  Diofield Chronicles. I need a game to hold me over before God Of War Ragnorock and Bayonetta 3. I have never played Bayonetta 1 or 2 and just bought them on the Nintendo eShop which was probably a mistake but whatever.---- 

For my anime heads we got to see the new Dragon Ball movie, which centers around Gohan and it too was GREAT!

In Netflix News they added a bonus episode to Sandman which I think we can all agree is the best Netflix show of 2022 and in the top 10 BEST TV shows of 2022.

Marvel just smashed all expectations with She Hulk and I am so looking forward to all the 4th wall breakage going on.


You are here for the New Noize so let's talk new music. New Noize Album of the Week is Gnosis by Russian Circles. To be honest I had no idea this was even coming out and reached out to a few people when I discovered this fact. Definitely more aggressive than their last release, Russian Circles bring some serious heaviness on Gnosis.

New Noize song of the Week goes to The Pro-Teens with "Curls". Yes to date all The Pro-Teens have released are instrumentals based on DOOM tracks and I see no problem with this genius. If I could play musical instruments that is what I would do with them.

Let's be honest, my sets have been killer and this past Sunday the onslaught continued. Quick programming note, I cut a good 45 minutes of this set as there was just so much to go over this week.

New Noize album of the week is a no brainer (if you know me that is). BORIS released Heavy Rocks (2022) and what a record. This is one of the shortest BORIS records to date, with hyper quick songs (at least for them) This is the 3rd in a series of what they call "Heavy Rocks" which BORIS' interpretation of certain musical rock genres and they put their signature spin on it. Despite the short, punchy songs all of these tracks are HEAVY and AGGRESSIVE. And I mean really aggressive. BORIS has always been on the fringes of experimental rock but we hear them showcase a few sounds that they normally do not highlight. For example on the track I played this past Sunday, Blah Blah Blah, they place this isolated experimental Saxophone that drops in and out as the song progresses while playing off their normal madness of cascading noise and progressive build ups. It's a great record but only made for the brave.

Song of the week goes to Danger Mouse & Black Thought (feat. MF Doom) "Belize '' I KNOW the album Cheat Codes came out this past Friday, why isn't it the Album of the Week??? BORIS thats why... Danger Mouse went way back into the archives and grabbed this unheard b side to Danger Doom and dropped it on this new release. I shouldn't say this, but Cheat Codes will be the album of the week next week if we make it to next week that is.

I have so much more to say but my Monday is jammed. See ya next Sunday, maybe.

Viva La Fiesta, is what we here in Santa Barbara say during Fiesta. It is a cultural celebration here in SB and for the rest of the year confetti will be showing up in the strangest of places. So many other things happened including me making the local news. Relax, I was talking about food.

Prey the new Predator movie is out on Hulu and what a great addition to the series. Highly recommend and imma say it now, top 10 sci fi movies of 2022 hands down

The Sandman is out on Netflix and I am currently crushing this 10 episodic run. I have not completed but what I have seen I LOVE. Let me be clear, the Sandman is one of my favorite comic book runs and frankly speaking stories. Personally I think this is Neil Gaiman's best work and I was hyper critical going into this Netflix adaptation. I am happy to report that I love what they have seen and it was worth the wait. It was cast beautifully, the way they weave the storyline is fantastic especially with how much ground/lore they cover. I look forward to finishing up the series later this week.

The big BIG thing this weekend was Evo, or said properly for the normals, Evolution 2022. It is the one of the oldest "global esports tournaments" and centers around fighting games. Being Pakistani you don't see our names in lights but Fate Khan & Arslan Ashe represented by taking 2nd & 3rd in the Tekken7 Tournament. Knee(from S Korea) was too strong this time out. It was also the 1st time we saw a Guilty Gear game close out the tournament. Why? OVER 2000 people from around the world came to Las Vegas to compete in just that game! Evo is unique in eSports (and to be real any sport) because it is all inclusive. It doesn't matter you global rank, amateur or professional, sex, age, height, color, culture or background. Meaning a total no one could come in and decimate the competition or you can play a professional and watch yourself get bodied. I didn't go to Evo this year, but fingers crossed for the future. For those that know I play and consider myself part of the FGC (fighting game community) but by no means am I worthy or have the skill set to be ranked. Despite this lack of skill I will take on anyone who wants some.

Oh and there was New Noize! In fact since Rebultion was in town, on a Sunday the normal Reggae DJ was out, again. So Captain Freiza showed up. ANYWAYS...

...Album of the Week goes to Cheekface with "Too Much to Ask". Don't let their sense of humor fool you, there is a lot they are talking about, they just have a nonchalant expression which works for me.

The New Noize Song of the Week belongs to Palm with "Feathers" I can't wait to hear what the whole LP sounds like.

See you next Sunday.
