Long-time friend, collaborator, and one of our favorite artists here at The Witzard, Steven "Steve" E. Mallorca AKA Sulu has returned with the first single from his latest solo project/band, Sulu & Excelsior's third album, So Ends The Honeymoon. "Run & Hide" is the first piece of the musical puzzle that will soon be revealed to be So Ends The Honeymoon and So Ends The Honeymoon is the final album in a what has become a three-part sonic trilogy; directly preceeded by The AntiMatter Suite (2019) and Eddie Romero (2016.) In-between Eddie Romero/The AntiMatter Suite and So Ends The Honeymoon, Sulu has graciosuly gifted us a couple non-canon projects including 2017's "The Over Under" holiday single, Refinished (Remix Album) featuring new, slightly updated versions of all of your favorites from both Eddie Romero & The AntiMatter Suite, and XLCR Instrumentals (Instrumental Remix Album.)

Both Refinished & XLRC Instrumentals were exclusively released on Bandcamp and recorded, created, and masterfully orchestrated through The 2020 Pandemic. Lo and behold, So Ends The Honeymoon was hand-crafted during those earliest aughts of The Pandemic, as well. Additionally, on top of all that, Sulu wrote within a recent email: "this third album is a big one for me, not only writing and recording during The Pandemic, but even more so, having to, literally, re-learn how to sing, rap, and play horn after having lung surgery in 2020." Mallorca says he diligently started writing and crafting the beats in the months after his surgery and playing all the instruments afterwards. However, all the singing, rapping, and trumpet parts were a big challenge for someone, like him, who, literally, had to have a piece of their lung surgically removed.

Sulu adds: "the breath had to come with time and a lot of hard work to physically and mentally get back to performance shape." It sounds like there's plently more backstory and video content that will be revealved and shared during the album roll-out and release. With all that said, Sulu & Excelsior sounds great on "Run & Hide," their first taste of So Ends The Honeymoon; needless to say, The Old Sulu is back and in full-force! Sulu himself directed, photoographed, edited, and supplied motion grahics with help from his son, Jasper, for the "Run & Hide" music video, which duals as an official lyric video, as well. Sulu & Excelsior's So Ends The Honeymoon is now available for pre-order on Bandcamp. So Ends The Honeymoon will be exclusively released on Bandcamp 12/2 with a digital stremaing release to soon follow just a week later on 12/9.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
