That was incredible baseball. Time to take down the Rays and get a chance to fix the time rip that opened up in 2016 and destroyed the world

Sometimes people are like, "I wish we didn't have to hear about AI all the time" or "I wish there were posts about stuff other than politics on here"

what it’s like to live in the Midnight household
Noëlle is sitting at er computer desk. Photographed from behind, we can see e’s wearing a baseball cap with a propellor that reads “This Is My King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard Listening Hat.” From under the hat we see slightly curly blue hair. On the desk are dinettes and yarn. On the ledge above er are several full sharps containers and multiple Shinx plushies.

I’m a guardians fan and hope y’all lose but my god, the white sox have had a magical run this year. i think y’all’re better than we are and will win the series regardless of today, but whatever happens, nobody has made a stronger statement this season than the white sox

I was so excited for this one because it was a huge question mark for me and it’s just such a fun, deceptively deep but light album

yael @yael.gay · 07/10/2026
Is this Gizz’s weirdest album since Eyes Like the Sky? Yes. Is this Gizz’s most underrated album since Eyes Like the Sky? Yes. Do I completely get why they don’t play these songs live? Yes but I hope someday that that… *Changes*

It's time for Midnights with the Lizard WIzard to tackle King Gizzard's 23rd studio album, the smooth groovin' Changes. It's relaxed, chill, and totally not full of extremely weird music theory wankery. midnightswiththelizardwizard.simplecast.com/episodes/026...

Well, here we are. It's time for more music theory bullshittery and I'm here for every note of it. It's a Yael heavy episode, if I'm being honest. There's a lot of theory to explain and she's here to ...

personally I keep thinking that I didn’t quite nail this, but after 70 hours awake, this was the limit of what I could do today. When you get a bunch of :catjam: reacts on discord though, maybe you’re on to something more than you thought

I posted a video of a beat I made for Beatober but accidentally posted the version with the bad audio, so here's the correct video. The theme: A night drive

the difficulty here, of course, being that this player really got fucked in the Charleston, because this hand is at least 8 tiles away from any winning hand. it even appears that a few of the discarded tiles match the tiles in hand, so i think the POV character must be *trying* to lose clothes

this is also true for anyone involved in making music or music performance. you have to listen to music. you have to listen to so much music

i can’t just post audio files on discord and i don’t know how to edit video, so i’m sad i can’t share my Beatober Day 1 creation here 😭 i think i did something really cool with the prompt

the worst part is knowing that if i try to name the person, non-Jews will swarm telling me that i’m wrong and it’s not real. but it is. it’s gross and it’s insidious and so many of you just don’t get that just because you criticize zionism doesn’t mean you can’t be antisemitic

One year of Midnights with the Lizard Wizard today. Thank you all for paying attention, listening along, and making us feel at home in the Gizz community. The big lesson from this year? Listen to that big discography from that band you've been hearing about. It'll be worth it.

yael @yael.gay · 01/10/2026
Beyond just “listen to Gizz, they rock,” the biggest takeaway from this year is that you can, in fact, teach an old dog new tricks. Give yourself a project. Any project, no matter how small. Just give yourself a reason to think deeply about some art that you wouldn’t normally. It can change you.
021
yael @yael.gay · 01/10/2026
If you’ve ever listened to our show, thank you so much for the support. It means so much that we’ve gotten to share this band with so many cool people, especially with other creators, bootleggers, guest hosts, and the many awesome people we met at FoV2!

One year ago today, we released our first episode of Midnights with the Lizard Wizard! It’s been a weird year. I truly could never expected the way I would fall in love with this band, but even moreso, the way that the podcast itself would completely change the way I relate to music in general

Wendy Carlos should be on the 20 dollar bill. There should be a 50-foot-tall, solid-gold statue of her in Pawtucket. You should be able to buy all her albums in any format you want and a line of custom branded synths. She should be a household name along with Bob Moog.

fuck anybody who tries to optimize music. i’m gonna go play music badly on my synth and go back to my rule of avoiding bsky discourse like the plague
