Don't you hate it when you do laundry, forget to put something in the washer, and realize there are only 7 minutes left in the cycle? That's my Monday so far...
The weekend was amazing! Khrungbin on Friday night at the Madonna Inn and had Black Forest Cake before the show. It was delicious. So was the show, Khrungbin did a 2-hour set, what more could a guy ask for.
New Noize was killer as always.
The New Noize album of the week is "pink balloons" by Ekko Astral. This record is amazing. It has everything I am looking for and New Noize is my show so it's really that simple. No critical analysis is needed, "pink balloons" is a killer record cover to cover.
The New Noize song of the week is Arooj Aftab "Raat Ki Rani". Growing up Pakistani "Raat Ki Rani" has always been around. Raat Ki Rani in Urdu means "Night Princess" or better translated as "princess of the night" (Raat-night Rani-princess) Raat Ki Rani is also a strain of jasmine plant that blooms at night. The fragrance it produces during the full moon brings me back to my high school summers when I would sneak into my house in the early AM and be assaulted by this floral aroma as I slinked back into my room, Allah willing undetected. Arooj Aftab's "Raat Ki Rani" has nothing to do with my nostalgia but if you want to check out this Grammy award-winning vocalist do her thing in Urdu then this is the song for you.
420 was great, I got some solid herbal deals. I also participated in record store day, got the 10-year anniversary of Freddie Gibbs Madlib colab Pinata, and got a Sonic Youth record that I already owned. The one thing I wanted, the Black Breath Box Set, I could not find.
This week the party keeps going with Slowdive a Ventura Theater and hopefully Mannaquen Pussy at the Fonda. Saturday is free so if anyone is in LA and wants to do something let me know.
I’ll be back next Sunday.
