Did I see Oppenheimer this weekend? Yes, and I can say with complete confidence that it is in my top 3 best movies of 2023 so far. The music and sound in this film is what going to the movies is all about. I'm also all about that new music.

As the summer heats up so do all these mid-year singles that are prepping us for some fall/winter full-length releases. Capra's new single "Tied Up" rips all other metal apart, Viji is a whole vibe and so is her new single "Sedative". Taling vibes I personally love anything beabadoobee drops and "the way things go" is no exception. This week's New Noize Song of the Week belongs to Big Thief with "Vampire Empire". This song is so good it makes me mad that I have to wait for this LP to release. If every song is on pace with this recent single then this forthcoming record will be of the best 2023 has to offer.

Album of the Week was hard to pick and to be honest, I went totally left field with my selection. I did want to mention some killer records that came out including Night Beats with "Rajan", Black Milk's "Everybody Good?" and Guided By Voices with "Welshpool Frillies". This week I went with an EP cause it's that good. K Pop is my favorite commercial pop and NewJeans has taken over that whole scene. They just released the "Get Up" EP which clocks just over 12 minutes (or half a Strokes record) and every song is TikTok rocket fuel. Maybe it's all this sunshine that's got me craving pop music and NewJeans is defiantly the fix.

Stay cool my people and I'll catch you next time.

Let there be HEAT! Santa Barbara has been nothing but sunny and hot and I for one am loving it. Talking about heat checkout the latest installment of New Noize.

Song of the Week belongs to The Sextones with "Beck and Call" Talk about a vibe, it's the perfect summertime slow jam. This track reminds me of 11:26 PM, it's a warm 72 degrees with top-down and you are with that special someone cruising.

The New Noize Album of the Week goes to Snooper with "Super Snooper". Great things come in small tight packaging sometimes and Snooper embodies this. Clocking under 23 minutes "Super Snooper" hits you with 14 solid tracks that will cause you to upshift. ***SIDENOTE, I don't know where all these car metaphors are coming from, Mondays... Fun riffs, fast cuts, aggressively ridiculous lyrics and so much more will have you grinning throughout this cover-to-cover listen. I played "Powerball" cause as of doing this write up the Powerball jackpot is 900 million.

Lastly, new seasons of anime for summer 2023 have started and holy hell there are some bangers. 1 show I want to mention is Zom 100 AND IT IS FANTASTIC. The basic premise is an overworked shut-in is in a deep depression hole as his job has pushed him to the extremes of fatigue. Then, zombies and this is where the show shines. Instead of fear, there is PURE JOY as the protagonist quickly realizes he never has to go back to work again. There are only 2 episodes of Zom 100 as of writing this write up and this show is resetting the bar. So much so that before the anime season is over Netflix is releasing a Zom 100 live-action movie in, wait for it, AUGUST! If you know anything about live-action anime it will probably be astronomically terrible so watch the anime. The best part is you don't need Crunchyroll to watch it, you can check out Zom 100 on Hulu as well. Here is the trailer.

Catch you cats next Sunday.

I think I'm still recovering from fireworks shenanigans, I hate getting old but I do love me some New Noize

This past set the New Noize Song of the Week goes to Slow Pulp with "Slugs" It will fit right into your summer playlist.

I deep-dived into a few full-length LPs & EPs this past week and chose MELONYX with "Soul Glow" for the New Noize Album of the Week. This is one of those records you play during a Saturday pool party. Supreme grooves and harmonies carry this quality R&B record right to your heart.

I'll catch you cats next week.

This is the most Monday feeling Wednesday I have experienced. HAPPY post 4th of July party people. I ended up wearing mostly white, grilling up some kabobs on a friend's boat, and watching the fireworks from the Santa Barbara Harbor. It was classic SB indpenedence vibes. It was an extra long weekend so you know I did New Noize but the update is coming today, right now in fact.

DISCLAIMER: I did not get the new Uzi Vert record so apologies as it's a great record and ill hit it next week, promise.

This New Noize I focused on a ton of singles so not much when it comes to deep dives on full-length records on this past show. The New Noize Song of the Week goes to Kim Dracula with "Land of the Sun" THIS SONG HAS IT ALL. For reals, it's a mish-mash of a few musical genres and it's extraordinary how good it is and how well it works.

The New Noize Album of the Week goes to Sweeping Promises with "Good Living Is Coming For You" I really hope so Sweeping Promises. 

In other news, I am gonna beat Gannon this week so I can move on to Final Fantasy 16. Just to be clear there is still a ton to do in Hyrule so I have come to terms with just getting all the main storylines all done and I will come back from time to time and finish anything else up. Needless to say, this is the GAME OF THE YEAR to no one's surprise.
