Misc notes from the show:
He talked about DJing at Low End Theory club in Los Angeles, CA. He said he hadn’t slept for 3 days when he was supposed to show up at Low End Theory and tried to back out, and that Flying Lotus sent him a picture of the line outside of the club. He decided to show so there was no riot.
He also talked about recently reading the book “Alone In Berlin” by Hans Fallada and how he loved it. Check the book out here.
He also mentions that Flea got him listening to Duke Ellington. That his son is playing drums. He talks about the 2-disc Remix album coming out in October. Said he doesn’t have a favorite track from The King Of Limbs, that he has heard it too many times. He said he really enjoys playing “Bloom” live. He said their future show will include Clive on drums. He just finished reading Hans Fallada’s Alone in Berlin and loved it. “It’s an amazing book.” He also say he has only been to Brazil once, but had the time of his life.
