I did it! I was able to get the intro music to Chainsaw Man and you know I played it on last nights New Noize set. Welcome to the latest installment of whatever this is.

Album of the Week was insanely hard for me to pick. I played a myriad potential contenders including Black Lips, Fazerdaze, MIA, Jesse Jo Stark, Palm, Gilla Band & Winter all of which you should check out but for me it has to go to "Quality Over Opinion", the newest album from Louis Cole. Flylo's label brainfeeder has produced another record that will be on all the “top 10 best records of 2022” and rightfully so. Sonically this album is all over the place, at times it feels like something you would hear in an old school Disney cartoon then transitions into this future tidal wave of aggressive sounds that you would hear in the slip stream of intergalactic space travel. Don't believe me, listen to "Bitches". On top all that the record clocks in at around 70 minutes! This is an achievement onto itself as albums now a days barely hit the 40 minute mark. Give Louis Cole your time and when you see him in these streets tell him your boy Haaris sent ya.

I started last night's set with the New Noize song of the week, DRY CLEANING "No Decent Shoes For Rain" At this point the record has to come out soon as they have released at least 3 other new songs. If someone says they have lost faith in bands then you should tell them to check out DRY CLEANING.

Side note. M.I.A. I KNOW. M.I.A. is riding that Kanye wave and I have strong feelings about it. M.I.A. is allowed to feel, say and express anything she wants and guess what SO CAN I! M.I.A. and I have similar come ups, we are both desi, both kids of immigrants, similar ages and both brought up in the west. Also we both work in the music industry where we are VASTLY underrepresented. M.I.A. however has broken the ceiling for ALL OF US way back when there was close to no representation of "US". She also was kind enough in her early career to give me a few interviews early in my radio career and anyone who has interviewed her will tell you she is gold. M.I.A. is like the older sister I never had, making it ok for me to rock my style, my ethnicity and myself. Words do not even begin to express her impact on me and for that I will be forever grateful. Her new record MATA is incredible but, and it's a BIG BUT, she has taken away from this release with her recent actions. Much like Kanye, M.I.A. has gone full christian, which is totally fine but for me but I would not adopt the religion of colonizers. It also makes me question her previous work where she shout outs "us" Muslims in a positive way, on this record not even a mention. Ali is not ok. To make matters worse she apparently believes that vaccines were a lie. Sweet Jesus not you too M.I.A. If she starts getting all MAGA on me then after a good cry I will have to reevaluate our mystic musical relationship. Humans grow and change & sometimes that change is different, so you in turn must change....Or something like that....Again I played new music from Kenshi Yonezu aka the intro music from Chainsaw Man.

See you next week.
