We’re a day late but fully justified. I lost my voice and spent most of Saturday in monk mode. Worth it.

Let’s rewind: Thursday night, Jack White played the Santa Barbara Bowl. Man came out swinging — six White Stripes songs including “Ball and Biscuit,”. The set was short though — like 86 minutes short. Started at 8:10, ended by 9:36PM. Bro was in and out before I could even consider spending rent money on a poster. I heard his L.A. sets were two hours? That’s alleged. Haven’t verified. But as always, transparency and accountability live here.

Fast forward to Friday: me + a proper crew road-tripped to Oxnard for Turnstile... at an Elks Lodge. You read that right. There was also a full-blown wrestling match happening at the same time. Peak America. Smoking J’s BBQ had me fighting for my life during “Blackout” — meat sweats in full effect.

Let's talk New Noize specifically the song of the week, which belongs to NxWorries. "Everybody Gets Down" A new single AND a tour announcement? I’ve been waiting literal years to see Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge share a stage again. October calendar just got rearranged.

Album of the week is Earcandy from Miso Extra.This album is a summer essential. A hyper-addictive blend of pop, R&B, and global dance/electronic grooves. It’s playful, fresh, and probably what your serotonin's been asking for.

Don’t sleep on:

  • spill tab – “Assis”

  • M(h)aol – “1 800-Call-Me-Back”

  • Triathalon – “Salt”

  • tUnE-yArDs – “How Big Is the Rainbow”

Upcoming concert schedule includes Khruangbin (maybe twice), Justice on Friday (hopefully), and still no forever plus-one. But honestly, maybe that’s for the best. Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things…
