i feel a disturbance---

As we patiently await Roctober to be upon us later this week let us look back in great reverence to last week's epic tour. Wednesday I went up north 2+ hours to see Spoon followed by one of the best performances of 2021 St Vincent. Anne, you take my breath away everytime we meet & your shredding ways make my soul melt. Then, the next day My Morning Jacket played a blaring set that almost hit the 2 hour mark at the SSBowl. They played a lot of hits, and they also shredded my face off with sweet guitar licks. Oh then on Friday it was back to the SBBowl for H.E.R. who despite only playing 50 minutes, was an incredible force and she too shredded with H.E.R. signature ultra dope swagness. Needless to say Saturday I hibernated.

---i am no jedi---

Sunday brought another installment of New Noize and I kicked things off with another highly anticipated release from Japanese Breakfast, she did the original soundtrack to the videogame Sable. This is truly the year of Michelle Zauner and what a soundtrack. Also shout out to the people that got this soundtrack to me.

This weeks Album of the Week belongs to Film School "We Weren't Here"

King Hannah came in very relaxed with the New Noize song of the week, "A Well-Made Woman" on City Slang.

Lastly, I really want to highlight an amazing piece of media. As anime becomes more and more common we are finally starting to see this incredible style used in our favorite slice of us. Star Wars Visions is out on Disney Plus and if you weren't a believer in anime you will be, you will be. Each episode plays as a short, altering story lines, creating new versions of your favorite characters and exploring other aspects of a Galaxy far far away. The 3rd episode (tatooine rhapsody) is all about the music industry, a ragtag group of beings trying to make ends meet and become the biggest band this side of the 2 sunned planet of Tatooine. Turns out the bassist is wanted by Jaba and Boba shows up to a torn up mostly empty venue to capture this alien for execution. The lead singer, a child, must look inside himself to not only save his band, but save his friend from execution. What unfolds is such a romantic version of the force, the kid converts a lightsaber into a mic and uses his jedi superior intellect to not only to save his hommie, but get his band signed to Jaba himself. The force truly can be yielded in a most poetic way.

---may the force be with you

see you next Sunday.

We back BAABBBYYYYY. It feels good to be outside watching shows again AND before I get into it YES I realize its Tuesday and I usually do this update on a Monday but I have a semi-serious affliction, I am lazy as hell.

As I was saying Thursday I headed to see the Rostam open for HAIM at the SBBowl. I was gonna leave early but was convinced to stay for a few more songs during HAIM's set and I'm glad I did as THUNDERCAT came out and jammed with the ladies on "3 AM". Then on Sunday I did leave Gary Clark Jr (also at the SBBowl) early to do New Noize but was able to catch the 1st song. I did get there hella early to see Allen Stone do his damn thing and he did with all the funk and grace of a newly released caged bird. It was a great night.

This concert wagon is not stopping. I am seeing St Vincent tomorrow evening at Vina Robles. It will be the 1st time going to this venue and I have only heard good things. If that wasn't enough SPOON is opening! Thursday I am hopefully seeing My Morning Jacket and come Friday H.E.R. both shows are at the SSBowl. I am especially excited to see H.E.R. as this will be my first time seeing H.E.R. live.

New Noize’s Album of the Week belongs to Mild High Club "Going Going Gone". This Stones Throw release is perfect for an over casted morning or a long evening drive.

Snail Mail's "Valentine" just came out on Matador records and it got me feeling all sorts of feelings but mostly anticipation for this full length to come out.

Only a few more New Noize shows left for this year, next Sunday is in my sights.

BEFORE I sign off here a special shout out to Joel Corelitz the man behind the music for Eastward, an incredible indie game made by only a handful of people and released by Chucklefish. I contacted Mr. Corelitz on bandcamp and he was gracious enough to send me the OST and it bangs HARD. Every time I reach out to a composer from a Chucklefish release they always hit me back, I played a few tracks off of Wargroove when it released way back when and had the same experience. Video game music MUST be heard and I am here to play it.

How is it already September? Whenever I think things are returning to normal reality snaps me back into place. Hey, at least there was football this Sunday...

Sundays are also for New Noize and it was a fine mix up of new & upcoming jams for all to behold. I was surprised how laid back the majority of the show turned out, I am guessing that was the vibe.

New Noize Album of the Week is Amyl and The Sniffers "Comfort to Me" This record run time is barely over 30 minutes & will rip your skin off so you have someone to dance with if you are lonely.

The New Noize Song of the Week, much in the same vein as the "Album of the Week", goes to Iggy Pop & Matt Sweeney "European Son" & in stark contrast with the NNAOTW this song's run time of 7:45. However much like the NNAOTW "European Son" will blast through your body and will make your bones rattle. I highly recommend it if your calcium intake is at a healthy rate.

Oh did I mention I am seeing St Vincent next week on a school night? Yup me and Anne are gonna hang, and by hang I will watch from afar (well not that far) as she rocks my and the rest of the humans in attendance. Oh Oh did I fail to mention SPOON is opening?!?!?! Yeah that's happening. Oh Oh Oh I may also check out Rostam open for HAIM maybe....Its a maybe kinda week.

Hey there Tuesday must have been a long weekend since I am doing this update now and it was! Santa Barbara was nice and surprisingly chill on the tourist side but a bit on the hot. Shout outs to all my people dealing with fire on this side and floods on the other side of the country, my heart is with you.

New Noize was pretty kick as if you ask me but don't take my word for it, check that sweetly diverse playlist. Truth be told I had everything set up on Thursday and there were some newness that didn't make it on this past Sunday's show but will show up on this coming New Noize.

Album of the Week is an Album that is not out yet BUT has been promised to come out this month, MONO. It wouldn't be New Noize if I didn't play something from Japan and MONO new album “Pilgrimage of the Soul” check all my instrumental rock boxes. Look for its release later this month.

Allen Stone covered "Is This Love" and there was no way wasn't going to be New Noize's Song of the week, & i kicked off the show with Kamasi Washington's version of Metallica's "My Friend of Misery".

Also I have some killer live shows on the horizon that I am HYPED for.

Until next week my people.
