Here's what I'm up to when I'm not editing.
[gallery order="DESC" columns="2" orderby="title"] Live visuals for the Vice X Mishka X Colt 45 Guides Party at Glasslands in Brooklyn on August 13th, 2009. This show featured visuals on three screens, including a specially commissioned reel of highlights from the DART bike team and graphics for all involved sponsors.

In this episode: The Toilet Cobra visits the home of Bald Eagles and BK Broylerz, two artists who proceed to show the camera extreme examples of hate, love and all the other emotions. Dancing, fighting, kissing, cat shit. YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED!!!!
This is seriously the most disturbing and uncomfortable Creepy Touch yet!

Live visuals for the We Are The Wiley benefit concert at The Shank in Brooklyn on July 9th, 2009. The show was organized to raise money to help local musician Jon Wiley pay some staggering medical bills and help raise awareness about the plight of uninsured artists. Lightspeed Champion, Adam Green and Chairlift performed.
P.S. The wall behind the stage was green. Result: very green visuals.
Adam Green's "Emily" is real good song.
In this episode: Toilet Cobra sits down with Yatagarasu immediately after his performance at the Pogo in Togo party and make him explain how he makes music with Nintendos while he's putting his stuff away. YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED!

I wrote a profile on the music of Sun City Girls for VBS.TV to prepare viewers for their interview with Ian Svenonious on Soft Focus. I also curated an mp3 mix of music spanning the massive Sun City Girls catalog, which is available at the bottom of the article.
THEY'RE BACK! DINOSAURS! IN A BAND! OH SHIIIIIIIIT! Toilet Cobra has a goofy old time with a guy in a dinosaur mask from Uzi Rash and they talk major bologna about nothing in particular. Uzi Rash are a band made up of punks and they make highly rhythmic music that almost sounds like what post-apocalyptic Inuits would play. YOU'VE BEEN TOUCHED!

Following in line in the great tradition of low-brow sleeze punk shows such as T.V. Party, Rappin with The Rickster, Richard Bey, U.S.A. Up All Nite and let's say... a little Cinema of the Transgression we present to you The Creepy Touch with your host Toilet Cobra AKA Nick Gazin! Just who is The Toilet Cobra? Well if you ask me I'll tell you he's some scumbag native New Yorker with the gift of gab, looks that kill, and a certain talent to get people to reveal their creepier sides on camera. You may have seen him lurking in the shadows or passed out with his pants down, but don't let that scare you as we've just given him a public forum to expose themselves and those willing and unwilling participants to their Creepy Touch. Paired with the visual magic and genius editing of The Vidiot, from music to movies, to the men and women on the city streets The Creepy Touch got it covered and is coming for you next... YOU'RE GONNA GET TOUCHED!
In this episode: Nobunny is the subject of this, the first episode of the Creepy Touch. The Toilet Cobra is mostly invisible in this episode due to shyness and the ability to be invisible. Nobunny's mask is disgusting. While he was putting it on it fell on the floor and when he picked it up it was sopping with the liquids that pool on bathroom floors when it rains. Then he put that piss mop right on his mug. Ugh!
