Here it is in all its glory! The 2018 Best Of New Noize, 50 tracks all played at some point in time this year. It took many weeks and long hours of pure stress to compile the 4 hour list of amazingness. I could dive deep on each and every track, but I'm not gonna do that. Instead just plug this in and enjoy the 2018 journey.

On a personal note I like having fun here showcasing new content week in and week out. 2018 was one of the harder years of my life. If I believed in the concept of hope I would be hopeful about 2019, but instead I am positive that 2019 will be better for all, or at least for me.

IDK what the future has in store for anyone, BUT what I can guarantee is if there are people out there making music, I will be playing that music in my area like I have been for the past 10 years on New Noize. I don’t do this for the money (if you saw how much they have been paying me you would laugh then cry like I do every pay period) I don’t do this for the fame (I have been at the same radio station for the past 15 years and am the 2nd oldest ON-Air personality and people still have no IDEA that I am even a part of this station). I do this as a labor of love and the on the off chance that this specialty show exposes something new to the unexposed.

See you in 2019.

This is officially the last New Noize show with new music! What a 2018 it has been, so many lows, a few highs and some amazing jamz for all to discover in 2018. This Upcoming Sunday I will be doing my holiday show so I will be rocking around the radio station with new 2018 holiday songs. Maybe some classics to mix it up, we shall see.

Come 12/30 I will be dropping the BEST OF NEW NOIZE 2018 show, who will make the list and who will not? I am still working on a set time but it looks to be at least 3 hours long.

This past weekend was amazing. Got to see the new Spider-Man "Enter the Spider-Verse" and I can say this is one of the best Marvel/Spider-Man movies I have ever seen, PLUS I scored the limited edition Spider-Man Jordan's (I have been trying to get kicks off the Nike SNKRS for the past 2 years and this is the 1st drop I actually scored on). I also got to see NIN down at the Hollywood Palladium for their last show of this tour. SHOW WAS GRADE A++ but when is NIN bad? I went primarily for 1 thing, to see Perfect Drug performed, and they did it. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Until the next Sunday…

New Noize is back and if you didn't notice there was no show due to massive amounts of tryptophan coursing through my veins.

OK side note while doing this write up I had to look up how to spell "tryptophan" and this showed up: "Contrary to popular belief, eating turkey isn't the main reason you feel sleepy after a Thanksgiving feast. The oft-repeated turkey myth stems from the fact that turkey contains the amino acid tryptophan, which forms the basis of brain chemicals that make people tired." Thanks google.

Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Mine was great and now I am gearing up for the new Smash Bros on the Switch. If you have one and want to rock some online games let me know and we will set up time to battle.

One of the last playlists before I get into my Christmas and Best of 2018 playlist at the end of the year and new jams just keep dropping into my lap, whats a boy to do?

Hope you enjoyed this past Sunday's New Noize set and we will tango again next week.
