Thundercat

i like thundercat

I love him. It Is What It Is was great, but Drunk's a true masterpiece.

i love him, but on first listen, thought drunk was tamer than the earlier stuff. but thats just a first impression. nice that hes got a wider audience. saw him play live once, supporting flying lotus, and he was a 100 times better than fly lo, mainly as he brought a band and played the shit out of his bass, while fly lo seemed to just be miming along to his ableton set up with some okay-ish projections.

Drunk is amazing

that is what my friend shared with me and tbh i still can't believe how good it is.

i never gave flying lotus a chance, maybe i should. i also like kaytranada, if that's even relevant like at all.

thundercat is on a lot of fly lo's stuff. fly lo is often 'brilliant' but thundercat is more pleasurable to listen to.

I loved the last thundercat album but haven’t heard anything else. ecstatic fusion-tactic

The drummer he had on the Drunk tour was astonishing, like properly jaw-droppingly brilliant. Wish they'd cut a live album - their version of Tron Song was genuinely further evolved than the studio take.

i never gave flying lotus a chance, maybe i should. i also like kaytranada, if that's even relevant like at all.

FlyLo is literally at the intersection between Kaytranada and Thundercat, musically

found a used copy of Drunk which I figured I had to pick up just because the format is so neat. yes it's annoying to have to change sides every 6 minutes but I kind of appreciate the dedication to making something so obnoxiously unique. anyway the music is very good but I think I prefer whiny and sometimes gross lyrics about women than I do lyrics about Goku

perilously close to the "how i break it down to an extent" quote

Didn't see this coming, but good for him, I guess? At least the commercial retains some of the goofiness of his videos.
