I love a long weekend, but that didn’t stop me from dropping a Sunday night New Noize session. So yeah, you’re getting this update a bit later than usual.

There’s a lot going on, so I’ll try to keep it brief—keyword try.

New Noize Album of the Week? No surprises here—it’s "Wild God" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. If you know me, you saw this coming. Sure, there were plenty of other killer LPs that dropped including new Jon Hopkins, Horse Jumper of Love, Los Bitchos, Why Bonnie, and Doechii. Speaking of Doechii, her album, Alligator Bites Never Heal, might just crack my top 10 of the year. But right now, I’m vibing hard with that Nick Cave.

Oh, and Afterimage is dropping a retrospective LP—so far, we’ve got two demos. Keep your ears peeled.

Now, let’s give some love to the EPs. Aerial M hit us with a 3-song banger that clocks in at over 30 minutes—my kind of EP. Ty Segall’s new one sounds like it was recorded at SYR (shoutout to Sonic Youth’s label). It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me—and it’s been driving the neighbors crazy all weekend.

New Noize Song of the Week goes to Caribou with "Come Find Me." They’ve got a new album, Honey, dropping later this year, and I’m hyped. They’ve already released four tracks as of this writing, and they’re all fire.

Yes, I played Oasis. It’s the 30th anniversary of Definitely Maybe, and they’re on tour. Don’t @ me.

This week, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 drops on early access, and I’m all over it. But that means I’ve got to finish Black Myth: Wu Kong in two days—I’m on Chapter 5. I’ll rant about Black Myth in another write-up, but for now, just know it’s an incredible game.

Next week, I’m taking you for a ride—Marvel vs. Capcom Collection drops as a timed exclusive next Friday, giving me a solid week on the new Warhammer.

And the week after that? The fall season of lawn bowling kicks off, and I’m hooked. It's the new pickle ball but better and nothing like that tennis rip off.  

Oh, and I’m not even getting into all the shows I’m hitting this month. By the way, did you catch the new Terminator Zero anime that dropped on Judgment Day (August 28th)? It’s one of Netflix’s best 2024 releases.

I tried to keep it brief—this is what happens.

Until next time.
