  "account": "Thundercat, known for his involvement in 20th century pop culture, has released a new single titled \"Moving At Light Speed\" in collaboration with Grammy-winning chiptune artist Button Masher. This follows his 2021 album Distracted. The single is set to be released today as part of Club Chaos: A Sonic 35th Anniversary Celebration, an immersive event in New York City. The event, happening this Friday, includes a livestreamed Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds World Championship Finals + Year Two Showcase, the Club Chaos concert, and more. Thundercat is scheduled to perform at 9:30 p.m. ET, between Tee Lopes and Austin Millz. The festivities will be available to watch on Sonic Twitch and YouTube channels.",
  "summary": "You can tell from his stage name alone that Thundercat is exactly the type of artist to lend his music to some late 20th century pop cultural nostalgia. He's done just that today, following up this year's album Distracted with a new Sonic The Hedgehog tie-in. The post Thundercat & Button Masher – “Moving At Light Speed” appeared first on Stereogum .",
