It’s that time of year again, the annual moment where I dust off my ho-ho-ho and unleash the New Noize Holiday Special. This is hands-down the show I have the most fun with: two hours of new holiday-themed gems mixed with some classic weirdos from Holiday Specials past. Think of it as your sonic stocking stuffer, arriving just in time for Santa’s big walk-through.
But next week… ooof. Next week is the beast: the Best of New Noize 2025. It’s the most stressful, most chaotic, most exhilarating show I do all year.
We’re starting at 8pm because this one is a full three-hour showdown of the best records, best surprises, and best music moments of 2025. It’s always the hardest set to build. Too many great songs, not enough minutes, but it’s absolutely a labor of love.
Will your favorites claw their way into the Best of 2025 set? Tune in Sunday and find out.
