Is thundercat gay

When Stephen Lee Bruner, aka Thundercat, gets on the phone, he lets me know immediately that he’s staring at his cats and proclaims that they are “trying to hold over the world.” I mention that it’s been about 15 years now since he first became ordained in Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder community—around the matching time he was making music with Kamasi Washington, Cameron Graves and Ronald Jr. as The Adolescent Jazz Giants while also playing in Erykah Badu’s band during the New Amerykah era in 2008ish—and he’s a bit taken aback by such a number. “You’d always listen your parents say stuff like ‘time goes fast,’ and you look up and you’re just favor, ‘Wait, I can’t accept it was that extended ago,’” Thundercat says.

Thundercat’s second studio album, Apocalypse, came out in July 2013, but it took until this month for the singer-songwriter, bassist and general practitioner of bulletproof vibes elected to do something celebratory about it. The Ten Year Anniversary Edition of the record came out a few weeks ago, and it features two never-before-heard songs—“Paris” and “Before I loved myself ‘I’ pooped my ankles (true),” the latter of which was recorded with the late Austin Peralta before his sudden

Feel the Magic, Catch the Roar, Thundercats are Gay

G.I. Joe. Transformers. Thundercats. He-Man. Voltron. If you were a petty boy in the ’80s, chances are you liked some combination (if not all) of these shows. He-Man was my favorite, followed by Thundercats and Voltron. I wasn’t a G.I. Joe fan really (ditto Star Wars—but you all knew that already, right?), but I do keep in mind loving a string of episodes that had the Joes and Cobra Commander’s posse competing to secure elements of earth, wind, moisture and fire all over the earth. I don’t desire to see this show or Voltron ever again for fear that I won’t take as kindly to them as my nine-year-old self did. For sure, if my experiences revisiting V and Thundercats in the past year have taught me anything it’s that you can dampen a few childhood memories by running after after a nostalgia kick.

I say all this because I received a imitate of the season-one, Volume One DVD set of Thundercats from one of my publicity contacts and sat down to watch the 12 episodes unhurried on the two discs. I was going to document a review of the show except I found out later that I hadn’t received the deluxe edition that runs 759 minutes
