Last week I took off New Noize cause I got a year older and Ramadan started up. I'm back so let's get into it.

I'm still processing Akira Toriyama death and in doing so this set is dedicated to one of the greatest humans of our generations. As you can see the first track is the opening theme for Dragonball Z "Cha La Head Cha La"

Since I took off last week I had to combine 2 weeks' worth of new music and whenever that happens massive cuts to the set is inevitable. If you follow me on Instagram you will see that I had something like 90+ minutes to kill.

Album of the Week was written in stone when this artist first announced her new record "The Collective" last year. I'm talking about Kim Gordon. What a record! There has been a lot of talk about her age & when you listen to this record you will understand why as it is so youthful. To all the Sonic Youth fans this is still pure Kim Gordon but has these modern elements that propel this record into something you must listen to. This album is like a kitbashed Gundam where you know what it is but are amazed on how it has been constructed. I can't remember the last time I played a vinyl on repeat but here I am spinning this on wax and streaming this any chance I get. On top of that she is playing in Ventura at the end of the month so hype levels are over 9000.

I'd like to make a quick nod for some incredible records that came out and are worth your time. SAICOBAB album NRTYA on Thrill Jockey is bonkers in all the right ways. Four Tet's new record Three is on as I type this. Oh and don't sleep on World Wide Whack by Tierra Whack.

I went with Metronomy's new single "Nice Town" featuring Pan Amsterdam because we all need a bit of joy in our lives and this track gives just that.

In other news, I saw Dune 2 and loved it. I do have issues with Dune 2 but if I discuss these issues I will spoil the movie and I don't spoil things without clear warnings.  You were robbed of some impact if they kept all the "vocabulary" of the books/previous film. I have come to terms with the fact that reflections of "me" is not something Hollywood wants but they want all the things that represent "me". Yasin Bey aka Mos Def said it best on the Black Starr song "Definition" ‘Manhattan keep on makin' it, Brooklyn keep on takin'it.’ It is what it is.

SIDE NOTE I know that Mos Def line is a reference to "The Bridge Is Over" where KRS ONE says "Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it. Bronx keeps creating it and Queens keeps on faking it ..." I just don't like this version cause I love me some Queens. Jackson Heights for life.

Catch you next time on Dragon Ball I mean New Noize.
