flying lotus: c/d, s/d

I've paid no attention to him but liked his albums well enough. He opened for solange the other night with 3d projections and those, in conjunction with the contact high I got from everyone around me smoking, gave me a fairly credible LSD flashback experience so that was neat.

yes i am seeing the 3d show - how was it?

well i guess you said it was neat, can you tell me more? was he playing new music?

I'm honestly not familiar enough with all of his stuff to say. He did about 35-40 minutes (it was an opening slot after all) and the 3d animations were really impressive, great graphics.

it was ok

would have been pretty mad had i paid - they were asking $35 for it

he played this, it was ok

damn, that new video is awesome. been wanting to catch his new tour, def gonna grab tix. dude gets close to no love out here in Denver but he keeps coming thru, praise

he projected the video behind himself when he "played" it. the projections were really crisp and the 3d was very impressive

i was disappointed though that overall the 3d animations didn't really have any theme or narrative. as my friend put it, it was a bit ... windows screensaver-y

definitely felt like they were just throwing up whatever 3d animations they had come up with. some of it had an outer space theme, some of it was body horror, some of it was like random 90s cyberdelic stuff, some of it related to his old albums. just a grab bag of random shit.

but yeah, taken piece by piece it was impressive

the opening act was some dude named pbdy who was ... not good

i can't find what he played online anywhere but it was laptop music that sounded like a cross between witch house, modern classical, "weightless" grime and drill and bass. not good, though.

a lot to unpack with this new one . some pretty cool shit so far though

Listening now, so far it seems well within his comfort zone, a lot of familiar off kilter beats and bass riffing, a bit less abrasive than some of his previous work. Very listenable, but not exactly revolutionary.

Haven't listened to the new one yet, but none of the singles got me going (except for Lynch), and I really liked You're Dead!. Honestly I'd like to hear a Thundercat-less FL record again. It's kinda cool how their sounds have become inseparable, but I wonder what he would do on some track without the 'just add Thundercat' plugin.

I always like his Twitter commentaries on the tracks. Love that 'All Spies' is straight-up the music from the Spy vs Spy NES game.

Liking the 2nd half of the record a lot

More spacious, the Solange track is really nice

i fuckin love flying lotus

are you a spy mister?

Re-listening to jonwayne's debut 'Bowser' and it holds up, such well-written tracks and rich video game synths. Better than all the retro-sounding indie game soundtracks around today. Probably my favorite non-FlyLo record to come out of the Low End Theory scene (along with Bad Vibes, and the first Teebs album).

I love the part in the Stones Throw doc where jonwayne rolls out of bed and like immediately smokes a j and starts working on beats.
