I don't think enough people respect his musical prowess. Doing the whole prince thing and playing all the parts on the song. Mac's definitely talented.
Had the privilege to stop by his house in Far Rockaway, New York. After hearing his invitation for a cup of coffee on his album, of course. Got off the subway and wandered down the street to his neighborhood with the sun setting pink and purple. I saw his Grateful Dead tapestry though the window. The vibes were just unreal. Kiki answered and had told me he left to tour Mexico... I left him a note written on a water bottle saying hello. Fast forward to this year... I live in LA now. I was at a Homeshake concert and DeMarco and Jerry Paper showed up. I finally got the chance to tell Mac about our missed encounter in NYC. Then he asked me for a cigarette. It all came full circle.
Saw this video 8 years ago, just starting my job, 25. Really help get through, thankfully everything went fine, have a family now. Dont know why but every now and then, i come back to the video. Nostalgic vibes
+becca i met him once & he was actually really sincere. such a funny dude though & i applaud his judgment on when being funny is appropriate. god i love him
he is full of his childhood references around him. i think it says a lot. when you keep your inner child around, makes it easy to access this part of ypu.
From wikipedia : "It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood." My god, he's actually right..
This has become one of my favorite videos on youtube in the part year. I love being able to sneak a peak behind the curtains into Mac's setup for this album, and the fun uplifting energy Mac comes to the tracks with.
A lot of comments here of people saying he's living like he's poor. Just judging by the Synthesizers he has, Dudes definitely making something. I see here a Yamaha DX7 and Roland Juno-60 (which are around 2 Grand). In other videos I've seen him have a Roland JX-3P and Sequential Prophet 5 (which go for 4+ Grand)!
@ holy shit dawg 5 years later I finally am able to use my knowledge on this guitar… I heard that he made it by himself, kind of a Frankenstein guitar that he made gathering different parts and scrap material, idk why he stopped using it but I think he at some point said it was very difficult to play.. prob also has a more rock sound to it that doesn’t go well with his more folk type approach recently idkk
@@blooketchup654 LMFAO IK IM LATE 😭😭 I was wondering lol because iv liked his music for a few years but only recently dove more into mac himself, That makes sense though Iv always loved the univox head on the guitar. Crazy seeing how he changed as a person over the years.
Omg i wonder what stress he was under, maybe they put a deadline on him? Cause he has that same tweaking energy that i get when ive been writing an essay for 3 days without sleep and i need it to be fucking perfect and my mind is like mac here
I can't put my finger on all the wonderful old souls that seem to be inside this young man, his humor, his voice, his vivaciousness. John Lennon, John Belushi or maybe sharing a cosmic connection with the still living Bill Murray - but then holding a seance on a home studio ala gene+dean ween ... man I don't know a goddamned thing but that this Mac DeMarco is something else, a wonderment, a gift, a generous talent....
"now he takes a little solo gets a little carried awaaaayyy" *weird arm flaying movements and knocks over water onto keyboard* "aaahh" *kiki laughs adorably*
Feels like an appropriate forum to share: my only Mac encounter was at higher ground in Burlington , VT in 2017, where I was almost crushed by Mac crowd surfing. It felt like he was above me and the dude next to me for an eternity, when it was really about probably 15 to 30 seconds. It really took every ounce of strength I had to not drop him. My hand just firmly planted on his ass and anywhere else I could get leverage. I can never forget that night.
i love re visting this video after 2 years or trying my own music production, and appreciate the instruments that mac is using such as the Dx7 and the Juno
1:44 He was right. "Arverne is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, on the Rockaway Peninsula. It was initially developed by Remington Vernam, whose signature "R. Vernam" inspired the name of the neighborhood."
Assuming this was filmed with an NTSC VHS camcorder, the video's max vertical resolution doesn't even exceed 250 lines, yet we willingly waste our bandwidth watching the 720P version... Probably the only thing 720P in the entire video are the titles. On top of all that, the source video has a 4:3 aspect ratio, so this was a VHS source rendered as a pillarboxed 16:9 aspect ratio 720P clip. This madness must stop. Who's watched this on a 120 Hz+ display? That makes everything even more ridiculous. Hope you all feel the same.
***** Hey, Mike, if you aren't going to get on the video specs train, don't stress about it. For all that agree, let's let Mark DeMarco and Captured Tracks know how we feel. PLEASE LIKE THIS COMMENT AND REPLY WITH: "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH, MARK! DOWNGRADE TO 480P! STAND UP FOR YOUR NTSC ROOTS! 525 LINES OR DIE!" Let's get the ball rolling!
Yeah the only source I could find with the 212 million net worth was en.mediamass.net/people/mac-demarco/highest-paid.html and anybody who takes the time to read the article can tell that it's a joke website. At least anybody who isn't really gullible.

Slightly Slower Songs I'm willing to bet it's even more.. He's got 2 fenders, a shit ton of roland synths and a drum kit
Slightly Slower Songs and mixing panels, even more guitars, a bass.. Speakers, amplifiers
The stuff from 2 was quite simplistic but since Salad Days he's pretty much spent all his money on music from the looks of things

I thought it was "lucky boy".
That was cute x3
I hope that one day I can learn to be myself the way Mac is himself.
I hope you have
For real I take much inspiration from that, also what makes the guy so enjoyable, like I would be friends with him

It's called coke.
Hey just checking in did you do it
I love this video so much 🥺
Hey jake zeeman love your content bro
youre my my my my kind of music man
The fuck outta here!
mac lives like he doesn't make any fucking money
Kevin Buckley Because he doesn't spend money on things he doesn't need. Pretty smart; he's probably got a shitload saved.
Kevin Buckley probably doesn't make much to be honest. I think people would be surprised how much famous indie artists make. It's barely middle class.
Kevin Buckley the equipment he had in that room was probably only totaled between 10-20k. I have nearly that much just from collecting over the years.
Kevin Buckley subtle :v

It's a classic
ah beautiful man
him yelling at kiki at the start is the first time ive ever heard mac be serious
That what I said lol
+becca i met him once & he was actually really sincere. such a funny dude though & i applaud his judgment on when being funny is appropriate. god i love him
+becca s jessi slaughter? :o
when i met mac he was so shy and gentle
_ _ the fuck when?
he is full of his childhood references around him. i think it says a lot. when you keep your inner child around, makes it easy to access this part of ypu.
such a beautiful film
capturing the plight of the mac in his natural environment
such a beautiful smell
Captaincrunchfan1999 his apartment prolly smells like cigarettes and dirty dick, still love ya mac 😂
make another one of these for your next album please mac
Phillip Hannestad I see what you did there...
I've already watched this five times now.
god bless mac demarco. he is one of the most genuine artists and person i have ever witnessed
Wow this guy actually wears those overalls casually? I thought he just did that at shows. This makes it even more funny for some reason.
Daniel Oliver yea Mac doesn’t really care about the money
You say this like overalls are uncomfortable or high fashion.
Literally Anyone can Wear Overalls Casually, Your acting as if it’s rare for people to wear them outside
Wow Ethan, great moves! Keep it up, proud of you!

Woojin Kim Or maybe that was Mac's own writing as he said he would
Too bad he actually said "I'll write it on Wikipedia"... nice try tho
Which is 10 times funnier and wittier and I'm baffled how the inaccurate comment has this many likes

Yeah the DX7 can still be picked up for 300 dollars in the right places, but never more then 500 usually.
Got my DX7 for $100
Does anyone know what preamp he had his guitar plugged into? The blue and grey and yellow one?
This video will never not cheer me up.

I come back to this video every once and while and watching it brings me home. Love you mac
One of my favorite TH-cam videos of all time - immaculate vibes
so much talent in this man

Mac reminds me of myself so much and it makes me happy that he felt the same way I do yeaaaaars ago. His success is definitely something I look up to
Getting back from school to this has enlightened my day! Oh yah
