Where would the hype come from exactly? Tiktok fags? Youtubers? It's a short no effort record by an aging indie guy. He lives off the royalties of songs he wrote a decade ago and now shits out whatever he feels like from his house and doesn't really give a fuck anymore. You can only stand on the peak for a short time or it kills you. Sounds like very little went wrong for him. Still not listening to this record though.

I think he kind of hated being a "rockstar" (or rather, as close to it as an indie guy shilled by pitchfork can get in the social media age) and so he is on some level deliberately downscaling his relevance.

He was addicted to blow and kept cheating on his girlfriend so he made the mature decision to drop out of the spotlight and fix his life.

I partied with him back in the days of Walter TV/Makeout Videotape.

He was a complete degenerate, and I say that as someone who used to mix my liqour with other liqour and someone who had countless multi day psychedelic Odyssees where I wound up in the arms of strange young women.

My friends played a show with him, we hung out for a while in the Walter TV RV doing hot knives, my friends and I wanted to go to an after party at someone’s house, seeing how it would be a chill environment where anything could be possible, lots of decent looking university aged lasses. He wanted to go instead to the Colonial, affectionately known as the Colon Hole to try to pick up some of Saskatoon’s loosest swamp donkeys and ditch pigs and drink overpriced shitty liquor.

Salad Days came out a few years later and I was like, “didn’t I party with that Cum Rag?”

He is literally the kind of person who would pack cigarette butts into someone’s bong to get a quick buzz and then ruin that persons glassware forever.

Not surprised in the least.

Vancouver island is the sort of place where anyone who spends any significant amount of time there becomes addicted to something.

Did it ever occur to you that he simply grew up and got tired? Sobriety certainly played a big part in that, you lose interest in the vast majority of things you used to do when you did drugs. I haven't been to a single party or club this year and have no interest in them. Not hard to imagine mac simply lost interest in his past.

Do you think mac has made enough money to "retire" i.e. put out a release once in a blue moon, maybe do a small tour? its hard to tell how well he's done financially since he's always maintained the slacker vibe and thrift store wardrobe

Mac's not quite firing on all cylinders yet.

#1 He's gotta focus on his record label

#2 Stop spending 24/7 with your wife.

If you don't have kids, uhhhhh what's up with the mommy issues, sunny boy? All day long in various isolated locales with your partner.... mommy issues.

Sign some acts to your record label, start getting involved in music publishing. THAT will be your legacy. Still like Mac's newer stuff, because I wasn't over-invested in early Mac.

That's why this advice is good, because it's mature, wise, and isn't biased for or against Mac.

This one is ok. One Wayne G was amazing muzak. Plebs will be filtered cuz there’s no reverb or echo or guitar solos. He’s gone more zen, stopped the liquor and drugs. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it. Who cares? Move on

Mac is a clear example of how it's impossible to be successful in music without the support or management of big companies (Jews, big sharks, etc.). His case also suggests that fans of big artists are a mix of paid bots and people who only consume trendy music. In the industry, no one is indispensable; you can't be successful our your music can be consumed in masse without the millionaire guy owning the artist ass.

i don’t get it like mac demarco people say music changing but it’s just the same guitar jangle thing sleepy mumble voice for forever now, and the whole laid back vibe is maybe style maybe not caring who knows, like everyone claps for nothing. the albums keep happening and they feel like fuzz half cooked same soup reheated, folks yelling genius but it’s mostly air in the room. background noise with people thinking irony is a soul trait, and if that’s indie then the bar fell down a hole and never came back, somewhere in the dirt still sinking.

no, it’s gourmet anyway, like cool guitar twang but it loops around itself until it’s just a circle that doesn’t end. the vibe is supposed to be chill but it ends up like watching paint dry on a wall you don’t even like the color of. fans call it dreamy but it’s more like a nap you didn’t mean to take and then wake up confused, and if this is supposed to be some kind of indie lighthouse then the bulb already burned out and everyone’s clapping at the darkness.
