Just between you and me and the internet, Captain Murphy is really Flying Lotus. The good Captain actually pulled back the cape (literally, he was wearing a gold sequined cape and mask) to reveal his mild-mannered alter ego at a live appearance at Low End Theory in L.A. and just in case those in attendance were not already feeling like part of the inner circle, wilding out in alternative hip-hop's sanctum sanctorum, the hard-to-identify Captain Murphy was joined in the star chamber by the often-hard-to-locate Earl Sweatshirt for this performance of "Between Friends" (cut to footage of people's heads exploding). This clip is short and was definitely not shot on a steady-cam. But like a wise man once told me, if the footage is from Mars, nobody cares if the camera's a little shaky.
