It’s ya boy back, right before SUPER TUESDAY, and let me tell you, I’m not exactly feeling the “super” part. This election? Not something I’m buzzing about. Neither candidate is out here with the plan I want, but yeah, I’m still voting. Why? Because I like to complain—a lot. And I mean complain complain about anything and everything. Voting is my ticket to complain guilt-free for the next four years, so you bet I’m going to cast that ballot. You should too, so we can complain together.

On a brighter note, I had a BLAST doing New Noize. I threw in a few tributes, including the original 1954 Godzilla theme, because our King of All Monsters just turned 70! If you follow me on Instagram, you were fully bombarded with Godzilla content. I also slipped in MF DOOM’s “Fazers” (aka King Geedorah himself) as a nod to the metal-faced legend.

Opened the set with the New Noize Song of the Week: “Help Desk” by Wand. This release is a trip—they dropped two new tracks with remixes of those, so it’s technically an EP, but it’s longer than some full albums out there. Bottom line: I need more.

The New Noize Album of the Week goes to none other than Flying Lotus with Spirit Box. I’ve been playing this EP front to back since it dropped, and every listen pulls up something new. One of the best releases of 2024, no question.

This week, I’m hitting up Sofi Tukker at the SB Bowl—the last show of the 2024 season there, sadly.

I’ll be back for Sunday’s show, then going on a little break until December.

Oh, and yeah, in case it wasn’t clear: vote.
