Surprises! I know I told y’all that there wasn’t going to be a New Noize this past Sunday but I got back early and made a late night audible, thus I was live this Sunday. FYI Big Bear is beautiful.

With that out the way like always New Noize was in full effect. I had A-LOT to choose from and tried to fit 4 hours of music in my 2 hour set. One day I will learn the secrets of time and will be able to bend it according to may will. 

People ask me if I’m scared that Game of Thrones will be taking away my New Noize audience now that the show is back on-air. Not really cause if you are GoT in SB and aren’t watching the east coast feed then you’re doing it wrong. 

Talking about GoT WTF are the creators on when announcing their new “Confederate” show? I want to preface this, I am a HUGE fan of Game of Thrones and think that this alternate timeline of the south succeeding from the Union and “modern day slavery” would be an interesting and compelling drama that the creators of GoT/HBO can pull off. My problem is that the creators of GoT can not and have not put minorities, especially black actors in roles without slavery attached to their heritage. Lets take the remaining black actors as well as the only black actors that have speaking parts on GoT. I am talking about Grey Worm & Missandei. Both were slaves that were liberated from the WHITE “Breaker of Chains” Daenerys Targaryen. The only other black actor I can think of that had a main roll was Salladhor Saan who was a pirate and wait for it, a former slaver turned pirate. Minorities don’t last very long, ask Khal Drogo and Prince Doran Martell. Would it have been cool to see the House Tyrell be portrayed by Japanese actors, YOU DAMN STRAIGHT IT WOULD BE!!! Also has anyone seen any East Asians in this show? Seems like Westeros went through some ethnic cleansing prior to this storyline. 

Which brings me back to this new “Confederate” show that they are going to create. If the GoT creators are reading this (you didn’t know they were New Noize fans did ya) there are other ways of portraying black actors without giving them a heritage of slavery. How about making a new fantasy or horror series with a predominate black cast. How about a fantasy storyline where the Ottoman Turk Empire stretched around the globe? Or if the Aztecs beat the Spanish? The alternative historical storylines are endless but the Game of Thrones creators decided that another TV series about white supremacy becoming the ruling class needs to be portrayed once more. I get it, this is about whats going on in the world today. An artistic look an the current state of affairs. Guess what HBO, I don’t need another TV show about white people ruling, that is the REALITY of my world here in the USA. Be a bit more creative. 

Sorry about ranting but dang sun. 

Until next week.

HAPPY POST FATHERS DAY!!!! Yes I know this playlist is 24 hours late, but I have a really good excuse this time which I will get to later. RIP Prodigy from the infamous Mobb Deep, too young to go but damn sun he left us some fire before he departed from this realm. Now let’s talk New Noize!!!!!!

It was a pretty good mix of just about everything shy of some hip-hop. Stand outs from this past weekends show came from longtime favorites including Deer Tick, Lee Ranaldo, Death From Above (minus the 1979) Moby, Chelsea Wolfe and of course Queens of the motherf*ckin Stone Age. Looking forward to that new QOFSTA album, you and I know its gonna be bananas. 

Got the new single for Dead Cross and its really aggressive along with the new Goatwhore. I also got to bust open the new Com Truise record and its sooooooo tasty. AGAIN looking forward to Tokyo 42 to drop on the Playstation mid July and had to dig out another track on this fantastic soundtrack. 

I have to apologize for my delays/non-responsiveness with industry folk out there for the past few weeks. It is not due to Ramadan although I am looking forward to the weekend when the fasting is over. My 11 inch 12 year old Alienware finally started to get into the last days of it’d life. I will always have a place for her in my heart as well as my command center but its over between us. The new chick in town is a badass 2017 MacBook Pro! Opting to dump my PC lifestyle for the past 37 years was a difficult decision to make as well as an EXPENSIVE one but its all for the best. Which brings me to my BIG NEWS!!!!!!

On July 6the your boy will be djing for 1st Thursday’s here in Santa Barbara. The new dj set up will be in full effect as I deliver all sorts of audio madness for the passers by. If you are in town on 7/6 swing by and gimme a high five. If you want to be extra dope share this event on your social networks, here is the link: http://www.downtownsb.org/events/1st-thursday/performances 

I am pretty psyched for my gig should be a banger. 

Last thing, this coming up Sunday there will be no New Noize cause its EID TIME!!!!!
