First new music show of the new year so New Noize is officially in 2023. As I write this my block is completely flooded so it's kind of like I'm on an island. Evacuations all over, stay dry Santa Barbara.

So since the year just started the majority of this playlist is a bunch of songs I didn't get to in 2022 with a sprinkle of everything new that came out in the past 8 days

Song of the week goes to ANIMA! with their fun new single "An Old Tune" It instantly gives you that feel good feeling so give it a spin or five.

Album of the Week goes to legends in the game Anit-flag with their new record "Lies They Tell Our Children" This is a bit left to what the band normally does as every track on this record has a different feature. Great for old school fans or if this is your first Anti-Flag experience.

SIDE NOTE Here is the Best of 2023 in its own playlist from last week's live set on Spotify. Remember there are songs missing as Spotify doesn't carry everything.

What a year 2022 was for New Noize. BORIS, one of my favorite bands, released 3 records for their 30th anniversary and I played them 3 times. Jack White released 2 studio records and had a 3rd "secret" not so secret release VAULT PACKAGE #54: Jack White Live "The Supply Chain Issues Tour" which I did not play because it's a pain in the ass to set up for wax at my studio.  

Back to BORIS releasing 3 albums this year, on 3 different labels but only went on 1 tour, which I saw in Portland (due to me attending an Iron Maiden show in LA while BORIS was playing LA show that same day). Coming in at #10 BORIS with W. What a way to start January.

zzzahara coming in at #9 with Liminal Spaces and what a record. zzzahara has somehow bottles LA, her experience and everything in between over 11 tracks. Each song is a banger.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs came back into the spotlight late in 2022 and it was worth the wait. This is their most cinematic record and plays out more like a movie than an album. Coupled with their Hollywood bowl show (I wasn't lucky enough to make it into their LA club show) this trio (with Ammad Wasif live so a quartet in concert?) is showing all the kids how to age with grace.

Mahal by Toro Y Moi strolls into the #7 spot and is the coolest album in the top 10, if it had eyes it would be rocking 90s Ray-Bans. Toro brings a whole vibe so you don't have to. This is the type of record you can play at any party at any time and it will just "fit"

6 6 6 maybe the mark of the beast and if that beast happens to be Twigs then all hail. If my desire was manifested into human form "Caprisongs" would be the soundtrack this demon would be listening to while getting it's nails done. Everything about this mixtape is a triple turn on (mind, body, soul). DID YOU SEE ALL THE MUSIC VIDEOS? If for whatever reasons the cosmos tricked the sisters of fate and Twigs herself is reading this I'll happily be your accessory you fuckin rockstar.

Talib Kweli + Yasiin Bey(aka Mos Def) = Black Star x Madlib = No Fear of Time. What a formula. What a record. Only for a certain type of music fan this knowledge of self is back and is a must listen.

Number 4 Mitski takes us to Laurel Hell. Deemed by me just now as Mitski's most 80s sounding record, the theatrics of this live set made me almost forget it was at the Shrine Auditorium (not my favorite venue in LA). There are some serious ballads on this album weaved in with her signature brand of woeful hope that makes me both happy and sad to be alive.

Will there be Radiohead in the future? Who cares when you have projects like The Smile. I saw these guys at the Shrine but in the theater section which was MUCH MUCH BETTER. They played 3 unreleased songs (maybe 4) so hopefully there will be a follow up to this amazing piece of work. Think radiohead just a bit more upbeat with noisey movements and some throwback 90's elements.

Rosalía Akira slided her way into the #2 spot with Motomami. This is the most anti pop pop record I have ever bestowed into my ear canals. She goes from traditional spanish ballads to choppy genre bewildering sub categories that don't even have a name. Working with humans from Arca to Pharrell all of that blooms out on this album is pure magic.

Fucking Dangermouse. This guy puts out a record and it ALWAYS ends up as #1 on my "Best of" shows. Is there a better MC than Black Thought in the game right now? If you listened to "Cheat Codes" the answer would be a resounding no. This album features 2 artists that are on of their game. The way they complement and build upon each other is something to behold. Cheat Codes is one of those once in a lifetime experiences that sounds just right with every listen. 

Traditionally New Noize is untraditional and this year reflects that. To keep in step with my untraditional traditions on a serious note all this is just me at the end of the day and to all who took the time out to appreciate all that I do I TRULY appreciate all the kind words of encouragement. I try to give you something that you can get nowhere else by no other outlet media source or human POV. Hopefully you learned, grew or discovered something in New Noize.

Last New Noize show of the 2022 season BUT not the last show of 2022 and I have feelings.

What a year, u will get into that in a few weeks....

Yes this was the last show of the 2022 BUT I will be back this Sunday, yes on Christmas (I will be working a live show) for New Noize but holiday style and in the 11th hour almost literally. So prepare for the newest in holiday jamz and a few New Noize classics from the ghost of Holiday New Noize past.

Next next Sunday, you know the 1st day of 2023 I will be doing my Best of 2022 3 hour special. I will however reveal this lost a bi8t earlier this year to stay somewhat relevant. BUT ENOUGH of the future lest talk about this past Sunday.

Album of the Week goes to boris with "fade" this is lowercase boris and that usually means a heavily serving of doom/sludge rock and this 3rd installment in their 30 year anniversary celebration is THICK. This is more of a Sun0)))))) record and I am not made at that. BORIS has released 3 record ins 2022 to celebrate their 30 years as a band. Thank you BORIS and here is to another 30 years.

Song of the Week belongs to Nicki Minaj, Maluma, & Myriam Fares with "Tukoh Taka '' which is the official FIFA Fan Festival Anthem . Have you seen this video? Myriam Fares killed this song and I am still overstimulated. Also congrats Argentina! 

Also congrats Argentina!

And if you didn't notice in hour #2 I went on a Chainsaw Man TEAR. If you have been paying attention to the past few weeks setlist you have been noticing that i have been playing the ending track for each episode of Chainsaw man on a weekly basis. Why? Every episode comes with a new ending track and anime sequence and this sog selection is epic. I was gone for a few weeks and didn't get to do this BUT now that I am back I gave the people of SB a solid block of this to kick off hour #2. To my spotify listeners please enjoy the madness of the music form one of the best Anime's of 2022

Last thing for the official last show of the 2022 season...ahhhh Nevermind.

I'm back baby! Took an extra large vacation. 1st stop was Florida to unite with the Ahmed clan which was at the very rare 100%. Then I headed to Atlanta to see the HOMMIE and check out the city, neither disappointed. Atlanta is one of my new favorite spots. 

Song of the Week goes to the Rhymesayers crew with "Pumpkin Seeds''.  Aesop Rock & Blockhead get really sinister with a lot of metal finger feels on the beats but then you got Lupe on the track and he just eats this all up. Lupe Fiasco is known for his upbeat takes and is usually the brightest star but on this track he goes total black hole event horizon. This is no club banger but you will have this on repeat.

Album of the Week is Anyhow by Canada's own Leland Whitty. He is in a little band called BADBADNOTGOOD and if you heard New Noize ever you know I rock the fuck out these jams.  It has a very different texture compared to Mr Whitty's main outfit. The exploration is what I most adore about this 30 minute record.

There will be New Noize on every Sunday moving forward. YES there will be a Christmas day show, which I will be doing live from 9-11PM and playing new music holiday jams. Most new and some are a yearly tradition.

Best of New Noize 2022 the 3 Hour special will air on 1/1/23. Yeah no typo I will be in the following Sunday for the most important show of the year.
