In This Episode of The PRAGMAGICK Occult Podcast…
Slither hither, weirdos, witches and DISINFONAUTS, here’s my conversation with the notorious THAD McKRAKEN!
This week marks the anniversary of my tenure with the infamous online weirdo and witches journal DISINFO.com. I’d link to it, well, go ahead and click the link to see it’s fate… In any case, it was truly a major high-five to my younger self. I was able to contribute to the long, strange pantheon of luminaries and thinkers that helped shape my occulting and metaphysical journey since I was but a wee punk. DISINFORMATION, especially the Richard Metzger era (who now runs DANGEROUSMINDS.NET). DISINFORMATION’s BOOK of LIES, especially, imbued in me the RockNRoll occultism my porous rebellion quenched as a young seeker. From the psychotronic magicks of PSYCHICK TV, WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS, GRANT MORRISON and ROBERT ANTON WILSON (who will be the subject of the next episode!)
Audio Sorcerer, Psychonaut and Edgelord Slayer, THAD McKRAKEN
was giving the reins to the DISINFO kingdom long before I had come around as a writing contributor and not long after the company veered heavy into the online blogging behemoth many of us magickal misfits came to peruse. For good and for bad, Thad accepts the heavy burdens of the site’s Twilight years, from inner turmoil amongst it’s contributors (not so discussed here but more on that later) to the solidification of anchoring a discordant society of ne’er-do-wells and battling the naysayers within the edgelord annals of history. Sure, we get into the nitty gritty about Thad’s evolution from musician and seeker to the death of DISINFO, but it was a far greater treat to pick his brain about such things as AUDIOMANCY, the metaphysical cabals behind modern drug culture and the whims of psychic insight and artistic expression utilized for artistic purposes.
Because of the length of our conversation, I opted not to include one of Thad’s tracks from his DMI audio sorcery project. Instead, I’ve linked it here:
[bandcamp width=100% height=42 album=2695035177 size=small bgcol=ffffff linkcol=0687f5 track=168856862]
Found through his bandcamp: https://dmioccult.bandcamp.com/album/an-echo-through-the-eyes-of-forever
