I took a random Sunday of last week cause I was feeling kinda burnt and truth be told I still do but I still showed up to do New Noize last night.

Talking last night here in Santa Barbara apparently, we have claimed Josh Tillman aka Father John Misty as one of our own. This LA native has made the smart decision to settle in SB when he's not troubadouring around the globe. I did not attend last night's show and this breaks my streak of seeing him play shows as a solo artist in our beach community. I got a ton of text messages asking where I was as well as to many pictures of random white dudes in brimmed hats.

Whilst everyone was galivanting at the Santa Barbara Bowl I dropped another New Noize set.

I did a little movie block at the beginning of the show which included the new TMNT soundtrack (done by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross), Oppenheimer, Barbie & anime OP (Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2) by Tatsuya Kitani. Later in the set we hit back-to-back colab goodness via Danger Mouse & Jemini followed by Turnstile & BADBADNOTGOOD. In fact, Turnstile & BADBADNOTGOOD got the New Noize Album (technically EP) of the Week with New Heart Designs. WE NEED THIS TO BE A FULL BLOWN ALBUM, just saying.

I started hour 2 with the New Noize Song of the Week "Before" by Blonde Redhead. Still mad I missed them playing a show in LA a few weeks back, especially after hearing this new single. Really excited for this new record.


In personal news I beat Final Fantasy XVI last night and what a game. This will go down as one of the most controversial FF cause of the combat as it's a total action game that dictates a lot of RPG elements that make Final Fantasy a Final Fantasy game. The biggest is turned-based combat, which there is none of. Gaining accessories and new weapons was pretty lackluster and didn't have much weight when achieving whatever reward. Also, there is really no open world to explore, it leaned to the linear format more than any of its recent predecessors, which isn't a bad thing but it is a thing. Regardless of these few gripes I had this was an incredible game! 


This story of brothers and brotherhood is one of my favorites of all FF games and brought me tears more than once causing me to actively call my younger brothers (who both ignored my phone calls) with a much more mature tone than previous entries. Graphically one of the best games on the PS5 platform and if that wasn't enough the music and voice acting will win awards. Though I wasn't prepared for the action-based combat I can say that it was massively fun and the systems put in place were some of the best I have played. It was responsive and felt great completing combo strings for massive damage. With that said I still prefer the FFVII remake combat system. Contorling just one character in a FF game feels wrong.  

I like video games.

I like you.

See you next time.
