New Noize update in full effect. I wanted to kick this write up off with some shame directed my way. How I neglected Star Moles for years is beyond me. I have never heard of this band let alone their album Camelot. My guy over at Planetary Group sent this reissue & in all honesty I rarely play reissues but I'm watching an anime called "So I'm a Spider, so What?" & the Star Moles have a song called "Spider Queen" so I rolled the dice. This song rules, this album is sweet and I feel so ashamed that I am just discovering Star Moles now. You should discover them if you already haven't.

Album of the week is Chai's WINK. I mean we all have been waiting for this record to drop & now that it's here IDK what to do! You can pair this record with anything and the fit will be perfect. Go ahead, test it, I'll wait...

Song of the week is Brodka "Hey Man". Their album BRUT is out next week (5/28) & if you like "Hey Man" you will infinitely dig BRUT.

Got some really dope news come next week, I'll keep you posted.

One of my greatest joys in life is showing up every Monday with a recap not only of all the dopeness that I cover on New Noize, I like to add all the fun absurd stuff I am into with a glaze of humor and pinch of my own pizazz & this weeks should have been extra HYPED as I just celebrated Eid + the final season of Castlevania showed up on Netflix but alas this is not the situations as my brother & sisters are fleeing for their lives in Palestine. What can I say that has not been said. What can I show you that has not already been seen. Will I sway 1 opinion with anything I present? NOPE. Most people don't ever read this which is sad as some people on my email mailer I have been working with since they first started. Apparently causes are like people and I have been outgrown.

We all know what side I support. So Imma end this short as I for one have no hope. The world is watching as war crimes happen in plane daylight, apartheid is being justified and an entire culture is being wiped off the map.

At least there is a new Nine Inch Nails x HEALTH...

Live from the East Coast, YUP I'm in Florida, surprised moms for Mother's Day plus I'm spending the remaining days of the Holy Month of Ramadan with the parents out here. No worries as I used some radio magic to achieve New Noize this past Sunday.

This Sunday set brought us some surprise singles from the Liars, Mndsgn, Laura Marling and Mike Lindsay as "LUMP" & Wavves but the real fun came from all the full lengths that dropped. I dived deep on a number of LPs including Squid(I played 2010 & I dare you not to say that the intro doesn't give you Radiohead vibes), Iceage, AIM, Blue Cactus, Kardashev, Artillery & Benny Sings. Also I had to keep going to Yasuke OST by Flying Lotus, it seriously is a thick record full of amazing moments so don't be surprised if you see it on next Sunday's show.

AHHH did you see what Pearl Jam did this weekend? Apparently they have released EVERY BOOTLEG LIVE ALBUM SINCE 2000!!!! That is SO MUCH content, someone at Spotify just achieved a slam dunk but I would bet my bottom dollar Pearl Jam got paid out.

ALSO how do we feel about this new Venom trailer???

I mean we have strayed HARDCORE off the Spidey origins and the nerd in me wants to instantly hate this BUT the cast consists of 2 of the best actors out there in Tom Hardy (Venom) & Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady aka Carnage. Guess we will all find out this September.

Lastly Happy 60th birthday to one of the greatest drummers of all time Tool's own Danny Carey.

New Noize is coming at you as it always does. This week's New Noize combined 2 of my favorite things, new music and anime. Yasuke is a real life historical figure who turned into legend and story has just become popular in the last 2 decades. If you know anything about Samurai culture you already know that to become Samurai you must, MUST be Japanese. So how did a black man become a Samurai? This history is crazy and you should research it...Oh you thought I was gonna tell you??? Nope, do the knowledge yourself and attain wisdom.

I will however get into Flying Lotus and his interpretation of this legendary symbol. Let's just get the obvious out the way, the OST and musical score is my favorite of 2021 so far. Flying Lotus Yasuke record cover to cover is one of the best electronic records of 2021. He also produced this anime and did a few sequences. This anime SHINES with its main character and how many tropes it DOES NOT use. For example, darker anime characters and ESPECIALLY BLACK & BROWN anime characters all start off being weak or needing some sort of assistance. Yasuke put this trop on it's side when you see his origin story and how he just son's a samurai using his bare fists. This also directly speaks to racism that was prevalent back in Japan and still is today. Racism, classism and sexsim are front and center themes that most anime's wouldn't dare tread but Yasuke is not your run of the mill samurai anime. Some people had an issue with the art direction, I did not but the storyline gets a bit loose during the last 2 episodes (a total of 6 episodes) but overall the anime is fantastic & if you're reading this I implore you to check out Yasuke on Netflix and bang Yasuke OST HARD in whatever soundsystem you are using.

Song of the week is a tie!!!

The glorious cacophony of "Well Rested" by Kero Kero Bonito is 7+ minutes of song that keeps building and building until your inner eye starts to weep tears of joy (but no pan flute was used). CHAI's "PING PONG" is a deep dive of chiptune heavy goodness that any gamer or adjacent gamer would enjoy.

Check out the rest of the playlist and let me know what you think
