6 Days In: Thoughts and Recollections of my Post-Surgery Experience Thus Far.

The Wizard — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:05:50 +0000

Now that six days have passed and I've lost 13 pounds, I thought I'd post for you all to give you a little update of what has been happening since my surgery Friday. I know you've all been dying to read about my ultimately trivial trials and tribulations, so I'll try to hit on every [...]

Deftones' "Sextape"

The Wizard — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:20:27 +0000

The Deftones are back with a video for "Sextape" off 2010's Diamond Eyes. It's lush and colorful and beautiful. I highly recommend watching the HD stream full screen. Totally great.

Röyksopp's "The Drug"

The Wizard — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 14:54:39 +0000

Here is Röyksopp's first official video clip from their forthcoming album Senior. Decidedly darker than the over-the-top bubblegum robot pop of Junior, the sonic palette of Senior, their fourth record, seems to have more connection with their first album, Melody A.M.. I've been digging it a lot. It's a worthwhile if different follow up to [...]

Shake that glowstick, baby.

Is it odd that when I see this that I imagine the soundtrack to be this?

Hi everyone! DID YOU MISS ME!? I missed you! The operation went swimmingly as far as I can tell. I'm not going to post a photo of the back of my throat. Feel secure in the knowledge that it is NOT PRETTY right now. Luckily, the pain is mild. Maybe that's just the lingering anesthesia, [...]

Bye bye, tonsils! Bye bye!

The Wizard — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:59:13 +0000

This is the inside of my mouth: These are my tonsils: Not sure what you're looking for? How about a visual aid: Delicious! Those pock-marked balls of vestigial tissue are the bastards that have caused so much drama in my life over the past few months and tomorrow they will be excised from my face [...]

Sissy Bounce?! YES, PLEASE.

On Sunday, I attended the (probably) last ever Williamsburg Pool Party. They're called that because they were originally put on in McCarren Pool, but when the city decided to renovate the pool the organizers moved the parties to the East River Park. Did I write about this when I posted about Chromeo? Whatever. Anyway, the [...]

Cee Lo's "Fuck You!" - Take 2

The Wizard — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:27:25 +0000

Remember this? Yeah, you do. Well, today the official video for the song dropped on Facebook for some reason, but because I am a super elite computerbox hacker, I am able to post it for all you lovely, lonely souls here. Enjoy! Oh...and, uh, fuck you, too, eh?

Riva Starr's "I Was Drunk" (feat. Noze)

The Wizard — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:06:09 +0000

This is totally rad. You will enjoy this. Or you will suffer.

This guy lived a cooler life than you ever will.

Oh, you've been to Europe? Boring. Do you want to read the intro paragraph for the most killer obituary I've ever read? Sure you do. At 17, he was living with natives in the South American jungle and, like them, wore a loincloth, got traditional tattoos, ate monkey and danced with the gods. He fell [...]

Skeletonwitch's "Submit to the Suffering"

The Wizard — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 22:47:37 +0000

FUCK YES THIS IS AWESOME. That is all.

Black Metal inspired by kittens

The Wizard — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:20:13 +0000

You've seen the original. And if not, where the hell have you been? This parody might not be funny to a lot of you out there, but I know at least one person (Julian) who will appreciate this to the fullest. Enjoy. It made me laugh early on what is promising to be a busy, [...]

Behemoth's "Conquer All" and "Slaves Shall Serve"

The Wizard — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:26:31 +0000

Nergal has leukemia. LAME. But, because I believe in the power of darkness, I will send some good juju to Nergal by sharing some of his unbelievably evil music. Get well soon, Nergal. I expect many more Behemoth records down the road.

Philthy Rich's "Feel'n like Pac" (featuring E-40 & 2pac)

With each passing day, Deegan becomes more and more entrenched in the East Bay Hip-hop community and I love it. Regular readers and friends will immediately recognize Deegan in this video, but for those of you that don't fall into those categories, you have two options. 1) Click on the "Deegan" tag at the bottom [...]

Marcel The Shell With Shoes On

The Wizard — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 18:18:39 +0000

This might be the best, most adorable thing I've seen in a million years. Honestly, every single line is a gem. "One time I nibbled on a piece of cheese and my cholesterol went up to 900." "Guess what my skis are. Toenails from a man." "Guess what I do for adventure. I hang glide [...]
