I saw Explosions in the Sky Friday night at the Majestic Ventura Theater fucked around and got a setlist.

Let's get into New Noize.

Album of the Week is The Smile with "Wall of Eyes". What else would it be?!?!? Truely it is a great record that begs to be played in order, cover to cover. I was lucky enough to catch them on their first tour at the Shine in LA a few years back and I can tell you with confidence that what you hear on the record is just a taste of what they do live. With that said I am hoping for 2024 tour and maybe an SBBowl announcement. One can dream...

Talking dreams wouldn't it be nice if Justice played the Santa Barbara Bowl? And at that show, Tame Impala would come out and do their new single "One Night/All Night". I don't think that will happen but I did play this single on yesterday's set and it's the New Noize song of the week.  

There is another LP I have to mention and that's by Ty Segall. "Three Bells" is his most David Bowie record in all the right ways. Trust me throw it on and let it rip. It is more of a summer record so pretend you are in August when listening to Three Bells.

I cut 45 minutes off the set. I only get 2 hours and it's always hard to do. I always end up cutting something off the playlist every week when setting up my sets but lately, it's been a lot. Maybe I am adding way more than usual, maybe I am listening to way more than I usually do or maybe there is way more new music. Regardless it happened. 
There is a strong possibility there will be New Noize during Superbowl Sunday, I'll keep you posted.

See you next Sunday.

According to the internet, SoCal isn't going to see sunlight for a few weeks but that won't hinder me from bringing you the best of the best when it comes to new music, this is the New Noize recap. 

I create my final set on Sunday mornings just in case I have to slip something in last minute which happens to be pretty common. This Sunday I dealt with my 2nd biggest issue when trying to create a weekly new music show, too much new music. I have to program under 2 hours of music and this past Sunday I had to cut almost 50 minutes worth of quality audio. I love having this problem and apologize to all the artists that didn't make the cut.

This was a fun set. Kim Gordon (plus she is playing in Ventura in late March), Khruangbin, & whistling virtuoso Molly Lewis were just some of the new music I mixed this past Sunday. We got into some chiptune with Disrupt's "Arcade Addict", punked out with Pissed Jeans on  "Moving On", and praised all the metal Ingested brought with their new single "Paragon of Purity". Hell I even played this banger from Creepy Nuts off the Mashle season 2 OP for all my anime fans

Trust I have been doing that dance every time I hear it.

The New Noize Song of the Week goes to who else but the IDLES. "Gift Horse" is the 3rd single off the highly anticipated TANGK which is out next month.

Some fantastic full-lengths came out including one of my personal favorites Sleater-Kinney. Yes, the ladies from Olympia Washington are back with a celebration of all things Sleater-Kinney. Both me and Mariah Carrey have been long long-time fans and you should check out "Little Rope" cover to cover. The new Slime EP "Explorer Series, Vol 1" is all over the place in all the right ways. "Beyond the Warrior's Eyes", the new album by Brian Tarquin & Heavy Friends is straight-up blouse button-busting music. The New Noize Album of the Week goes to PACKS with "Melt the Honey". It's subtly sad on the upside. It sounds like not having a job and caring but not to the point where it's going to ruin your day because you smoke weed and have a plan that you will get to tomorrow.

It has taken me years to have these amazing music critiques take notes hommie.

Hurdling through time and space is happening right now and so is the New Noize write-up. We had a Monday off because of an Iconic American who made change a reality but as a son of NJ I know we have to do better to execute the dream Martin Luther King Jr had.

Talking about doing better this update comes on a Tuesday cause of Monday's day of observation and nonwork so apologies to all that were waiting on this.

New Noize was pretty fun this past Sunday. It started light-heartedly and got heavy towards the end. 

January is especially exciting because a lot of artists/bands are releasing singles for their upcoming projects. Now I dont know if 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE is planning an LP drop in 2024 but here is another single out of the 88rising camp that knocks HARD featuring Ricky Rose and Rich Brian. I had to pick “1999” for the New Noize Song of the Week.

Album of the Week goes to the one and only Kid Cudi with "INSANO". This album is chest out I don't care what you are holding all confidence I can't miss type record. Production is classic Cudi and the features are slipped in the sweetest spots like one of those kitbashed Gunlapa to create a record that sets the tone for all other commercial hip-hop. This is the bar.

ALSO WTF IDLES?!?!?!?! They decided to release another single from their upcoming February release TANGK this past Monday. MY SHOW IS ON SUNDAY GUYS! Check out this banger, “Gift Horse”, which wasn't on my show but is still a rad AF song and will be on my upcoming set Sunday.

This past weekend saw some NFL playoff action and this NY Giants fans was bathing in the tears of the Cowboys and Eagles. There is something that fills my soul with joy watching the hopes and dreams of these sports fans get destroyed especially as both teams played terribly. My hate cup overnight.

See you next week
