AND THE YANKEES ARE HEADED TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!

Four more wins and the New York Yankees secure #28. Yes, I live in SoCal, and trust me, the New York hate is palpable out here, but you better believe I’m rocking full Yankee regalia all day, every day.

On to New Noize—I’ll keep it short because this Monday is dragging and so am I. Apologies in advance.

New Noize Song of the Week goes to Father John Misty with "She Cleans Up." I caught this live a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, it’s a certified banger. His new album Mahashmashana is out next month (and yeah, I know I mistakenly reported it was dropping next year in a previous write-up—my bad for the confusion). Oh, and the music video for "She Cleans Up" drops tomorrow on YouTube. Honestly, it could just be him strutting to this song for five minutes and I’d still be wildly entertained.

Album of the Week goes to Japandroids' final release Fate and Alcohol. Bittersweet, because shortly after dropping this, they announced on social media—no final tour, no last show. Just a social media post and peace out. Sad, but when it’s over, it’s over. What a run. I’m a firm believer that these band breakups aren’t always forever, though. Maybe they’ll reunite, maybe they won’t, but I’m not holding my breath. What I do know is these guys rule live. I caught them on their first tour at this tiny, makeshift venue in downtown Santa Barbara called Muddy Waters (RIP). It was a random weeknight, and I was hyped to see this duo from Vancouver tear it up. My +1? Winston, aka the Cool Rulah, host of the Reggae Soundclash, which, as you know, airs right before New Noize. Per usual, he was late.

Japandroids were loud—extra loud, since there were like 20 people in the venue. At one point, Brian King jumps on top of the bar, screaming the lyrics at the top of his lungs, but he’s practically drowned out by his own shredding. Rulah turns to me mid-show and says, “Des are sum bad white boys.” Yes, Rulah. Yes, they are. Thanks, Brian and Dave, for the memories and making me feel all the feelings. I’m gonna miss you... until you inevitably get back together. Maybe.

Oh and to all my Dodger fans I cant wait to bathe in your tears of sadness after the Yankees wipe the floor with you.
