The world is burning and I feel guilty that I had a good week. Feeling grateful. See what happens when that SoCal sun comes out for a solid week with no nonsense.

Slowdive at the Majestic on a Thursday. Mannequin Pussy at the Fonda on a Friday (plus I got to hand with the bassist rooftop style and he was a hilarious dude) EVO Japan was crazy amazing and yes I watched the live stream. Oh and let's not forget the Knicks playoffs!!!! Plus the NY Giants did some proper NFL draft moves. What a week. 

I killed New Noize as always duhhhh. The New Noize song of the week goes to comeback kids Cults with "Crybaby". It sounds like them but only just barely. You can hear the evolution in their sound on this track. Will it pan out to a full record? Who cares the song is great.

Bringing all the "Hyperdrama" Justice's new record is the album of the week. I have been a bit too critical of this specific duo which all stems back from seeing them play a set in LA when they first broke out into the mainstream. "Hyperdrama" is a beast of a record and anyone who has listened to it knows its weight. All the guest spots are choice and compliment the vision of what this album is trying to say. One of my favorite moments (an there are many) on this record is "Moonlight Rende-vous" into the next track "Explorer". It's like they are playing this album on an old-school CRT then when "Moonlight Rende-vous" hits it's like someone switches from watching TV to playing video games. Specifically, Castlevania and these 2 tracks are pure Castlevania. I seriously thought I was busting through Dracula's castle as Alucard looking for papa vamps Symphony of the Night style.

This week I'm hoping for a Knicks W and some energy so if anyone knows any food hacks that will light me up like Mario on an invincible star that would be amazing. I'm waiting...
