This week's Take 5 is a dream come true. Ever since I first met Thundercat, I wanted him on this podcast. Stephen Bruner is one of those magical humans whose musical DNA you want to explore. Born into a family of legendary players, Thundercat grew up with a famous  drummer dad, who played with Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, and the Temptations. His older brother Ronald was a jazz drummer too, and a member of hardcore band Suicidal Tendencies. And his mum played as well, so it's no surprise that Stephen Lee Bruner would come into this world strumming. His path has been a kaleidoscopic one. In the early days he gigged with Erykah Badu, who helped him find his performative style as an artist. He became friends with Flying Lotus, and found a home on his Brainfeeder record label. And Thundercat's profile was given a huge leg up when he helped craft the backbone of one of 2015's biggest albums, Kendrick Lamar's “To Pimp a Butterfly”. With four albums of his own, and a recent collab with Tame Impala, I jumped at the chance to meet with him again, and go “all over the shop” with a Take 5. And from Stanley Clarke to Drake, this is a gorgeous conversation about music, and how the songs that we connect to land in the right place at just the right time. Steve Kuhn - The Meaning of Love  Stanley Clarke - Journey to Love ft George Duke Flying Lotus - Zodiac Shit Tame Impala - Apocalypse Dreams Drake – Successful ft. Trey Songs and Lil Wayne

Thundercat nailed it with this 2017 R&B(?) album Drunk. From the insane cover photo all the way to the slew of slick cameos (Michael McDonald, anyone?), Stephen Bruner tells a personal, bordering-on-embarrassing story in an outlandish & goofy way. And the songs are undeniably funky. The bass lines... Joining me in breaking it down is San Antonio duo Cadillac Muzik. CaddyMack & DaddyD'Vil are true appreciators and craftsmen of the funk. Definitely recommend their new EP "Stayin Alive".

Thundercat is Stephen Bruner - an electric bassist and vocalist who racked up some serious cred through his session work and touring with Erykah Badu and Snoop Dogg. Since that time, he's parlayed that success into his own solo career; after impressing Flying Lotus while playing on his 2010 album Cosmogramma, the esteemed producer ended up working on the entirety on Thundercat's 2011 debut, The Golden Age of Apocalypse.  Fast-forward to spring of 2020, when Thundercat released It Is What It Is, another meditation on personal loss, just like that of his 2013 album called Apocalypse. We revisit that 2013 session for this podcast from the archives.  Set List:  "Tron Song" "Evangelion"  "Heartbreaks and Setbacks"

Referenced Quotes “Malcolm’s Theme”—when I was younger I got caught up in gangs and I was headed down that path. I had two things that brought me out of that, I had a cousin give me an Art Blakey mixtape and I was in this program and we read Malcolm X’s autobiography. I always wanted to give that same thing back. It had such a profound effect on me that maybe I could help someone else. If I could do something that people would look back on the message he was giving during his life, with the music. “Interview: Kamasi Washington”, Spectrum Culture Michael’s Track Order Volume 1: The Plan Change of the Guard Askim Isabelle Final Thought The Next Step The Rhythm Changes Volume 2: The Glorious Tale Miss Understanding Leroy and Lanisha Clair de Lune Seven Prayers Henrietta Our Hero The Message Volume 3: The Historic Repetition Re Run Cherokee Re Run Home Malcolm’s Theme The Magnificent 7 Marc’s Track Order Volume 1: The Plan Change of the Guard Isabelle Final Thought The Next Step Askim Volume 2: The Glorious Tale Miss Understanding Leroy and Lanisha Clair de Lune Seven Prayers Henrietta Our Hero The Magnificent 7 Volume 3: The Historic Repetition Re Run Cherokee The Rhythm Changes Malcolm’s Theme Re Run Home The Message Art ♫︎

For some reason it reminded me of a lullaby. Like, I had never heard it before, but it felt like I had, like someone had sang it to me, or something. That was my homage to Charlie Brown, it was my version of “Linus and Lucy.” That makes sense! When I was listening to it, it reminded me of the books my mom read to me when I was a kid, it felt very nostalgic. Yeah that’s exactly what that was. I always loved Charlie Brown growing up—Vince Guaraldi, you know? I was listening to that and I started playing around with that melody. “Interview: Kamasi Washington”, Spectrum Culture “The Magnificent 7” is actually about a homage to a band I was playing with a lot. That was the band I started writing a lot of songs for this album with. “Henrietta Our Hero” is about my grandmother, who was a very powerful figure in my family. She was a little small woman, but she did a lot with a very little. She struggled with some mental illness and stuff like that, but even with all that, she helped my dad and all his brothers buy their first homes, she got me my first car, she got my brother his first car, she did a lot for someone who didn’t have much to work with. “Interview: Kamasi Washington”, Spectrum Culture Art ♫︎

Stephen Bruner (born October 19, 1984),[2] better known by his stage name Thundercat, is an American multi-genre bass guitarist, producer and singer from Los Angeles, California. This is them changes "Lights Out" is a song by English hard rock band Royal Blood. Featured on the band's 2017 second studio album How Did We Get So Dark? The song was released as the first single from the album on 14 April 2017, topping the UK Rock & Metal Singles Chart. "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" (or simply "You Need Me") is a song by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. released on 26 August 2011 It's one man and a loop pedal. Brilliant.

Thundercat has been breaking ground in the music industry since he was a teenager. He had his first hit song at the age of 15, and just a year later before he could vote or get a legal drink, he became one of the original members of Suicidal Tendencies, playing bass in a band that came to define the ‘90s' West Coast punk-rock sound. That's right, folks. Joining us today is none other than Stephen Bruner, also known as Thundercat. During the middle of the last decade, Bruner linked up with Shafiq Husayn and Sa-Ra, and became a permanent fixture at the group's Silver Lake studio that briefly served as the Los Alamos of the L.A. underground music scene. Everyone from Ty Dollasign to Erykah Badu passed through this sprawling nerve center. He joined Badu in her live band and New Amerykah studio sessions. And then in 2011, Bruner joined forces with Flying Lotus, and his musical passion exploded. That year, he released his first solo project, The Golden Age of Apocalypse, which positioned him as an artist that could flip between improvised jazz, left-field electronica and smooth soul in the space of a single song. It was followed by Apocalypse in 2013, and then the more somber 16-minute-long EP The Beyond: Where the Giants Roam, which was rooted in his grief over the sudden death of his close friend, the piano prodigy Austin Peralta. In 2015 he collaborated with Kendrick Lamar and took home a Grammy Award for the groundbreaking album To Pimp a Butterfly. Right now he's on an international tour, playing songs from his new solo album Drunk, which features a single called “Show You the Way,” a song that brings together Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins for the first time in decades, proof that there's endless reasons Bruner can compose and play with anyone, from Stanley Clarke to Snoop Dogg. Stephen was kind enough to join us on the podcast between performances on the main stage at the Coachella festival; we're grateful he took some time away from his beloved cat Turbo Tron Over 9000 Baby Jesus Sally to talk music, art, life and, of course, comics. http://BlastoffComics.com

At the behest of listener (and former guest Devin Jackson Mullen of Anxious Kids Make Good People), today we're taking on Drunk, the latest project by Thundercat, the stage name of grammy-award winning bassist Stephen Bruner. Composed by Bruner, but with the help of long-time collaborator Flying Lotus and a myriad of guest artists, Drunk is a 23-track wormhole that explores the inventive and demented mind of the talented bassist --- under any and all of life's circumstances. Let's explore the album together before broadcasting a monster monologue [@2:19:21 - @2:40:24] covering the ethics of criticism, a response to an artist, and some changes to the format of the series.
