Mac DeMarco interview and live acoustic set

Hi, this is Jello Biafra. What should you rather have? A pint of booze if you're a recovering alcoholic or a pint of cacophony no matter what or who you are? Speak into the mic, bitch. Say that into the microphone. Keep on rockin' in the free world, and I mean rock, not hop-punk. Not indie-poo. Not middle-of-the-road, Miley Cyrus-y dreck. You're a freak with a microphone. Oh, my, my. Welcome to another episode of A Pint of Cacophony. My name is Dan Patronillo, and this is Skid Row Studios. I just want to wish everybody a good night. How are you doing, Alex? I'm good, dude. How are you? I'm pretty good. You were at FYF last night and over the whole weekend. Yeah, I was there. Yeah, how was that? It was different. It was real different. How so? It was huge. Compared to last year, it was just humongous. Right. It was at the Coliseum, and at the Sports Arena, you know, that whole complex. It was cool. It was a good time. I saw a lot of good bands. It was just way too big for me. Oh, it was too big? You couldn't take how big it was? It was too big. That's a bummer. But it was cool. I'm glad you had a good time. Who'd you see? I saw Mac, of course. Right. We have today here on... Mac DeMarco's here today. Yes. And I saw Death Heaven, Emergency Devils, our friends. Yes. Blood Brothers, Slow Dive. Saw a lot of good bands. Yeah, I'm so stoked for you. That's awesome. Yeah. How was your weekend? It was good. I worked a lot, but on Friday, I went and saw Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden over the Verizon Wireless. Oh, how was that? It was pretty epic. I mean, I'm a huge Soundgarden fan ever since, like, growing up, and just to... I mean, they had, like, this huge, like, 10-year hiatus, and then they came back, and I'm like, I gotta catch them once before who knows, like, Chris loses his voice or... Black Ocean. Won't you come? Dude, they played oldies that I was, like, off their EPs, like, from way back sub-pop days, and I was all over it, like... I bet you were. My knees are all bruised up because the chairs in front of me where we were standing up in the terrace, I was thrashing around and just, like, banging my knees up against the chairs in front of me. I don't know. It was good stuff. And how was Nine Inch Nails? How was Reznor? Oh, Reznor. Dude, he's got such a tight band. Yeah. Super tight band. Looking all buff. Oh, yeah, I know, right? Yeah, he looks real buff now. Yeah, you like that? I do. You do, too. I bet you do. I know. Let's go into Songblock. This is a band my brother showed me, actually. It's called Clouds. This song's called New Amnesia. And then we got Tomorrow's Tulips and the new Thirstin' More. It's called The Best Day because today's the best day on a pint of coffee here. Let's go into that sound break and we'll bring Mac in here and have a conversation. Well, what do you mean I can't take off my sweater? I'm hot! I'm hot! I'm hot! I'm going to play just like that Grimful mistake I just got to Say my last piece of mind Grimful mistake I just got to Say my last piece of mind Grimful mistake Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah We'll be right back. Are you going to bark all day, little doggy? Or are you going to bite? I see the roll of your eyes when I turn my head to it. And I wonder if when I'm far away, what can you say to make you miss me? Well, I'm tired, I'm not as hard as you. I'm being your baby. Man, it's the same bullshit they tried to pull in my day.

My name's Dan Pacinello here at Skid Row Studios. And right across from me is Mr. Mac DeMarco. How's up? How you doing, man? I'm pretty good. A little fried, but I'm pretty good. I'm sure you are. You had a busy weekend. Yeah. How was FYF, man? You get a chance to see anybody? Yeah. Who did I see? Saw the Strokes. Saw Kindness. Saw a little Earl Sweats shirt. A little bit of Grimes. A little bit of Phoenix. Kind of a... You were around a bit for the whole thing. Yeah, a little bit. How was your set? It was fun. Kind of crazy. It was kind of like get on the stage, sound check, play, get the hell out of here. But other than that, it was great. Yeah, it was pretty nuts. Awesome, man. Well, we know here nothing about Canada. What was the music scene like for you as a young Mac DeMarco growing up? Well, I grew up in a city called Edmonton, which is like really far north, kind of in the middle, kind of a little bit west. Known for, I don't know, they got some oil there, some crap, and a bunch of rednecks. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, it was like the vibe is in the middle of Canada, you know, maybe a town gets some good bands, and then as soon as, you know, people start liking them, they take off to Vancouver or Toronto or Montreal. So, it's kind of the way it always was. And I did it too, so there you go. That's the way of the world, motherfucker, right? That's right, yeah. That's the way she goes. We've all had to hustle for money at one point or another, but you, in a sense, sacrificed your body. Can you tell us a little bit about the medical tests that you were a part of? Yeah, sure. Well, I did it in Montreal. It's kind of like different universities, you know, different programs need lab rats. Like sometimes like psychology studies or other times, like, I don't know, all kinds of weird crap. But, yeah, I mean, what did I do? I had magnets in my head once. No way. Let's take it one by one. Like, how did that go? I don't know. It was weird. They were like making me read these words on a screen and it was like, it would say like, like theater, like 400 times and it would blink on. You're supposed to say it. But then the magnets are supposed to like manipulate something where you read it wrong or something. I don't know. They were getting something out of it, but I was just saying theater over and over. Sounds like the beginning of Ghostbusters with Bill Murray just zapping him. Yeah, pretty much. Or Zoolander or Frankie Say Relax. Oh, yeah. Is that what it felt like? It just felt weird. I mean, some like, you know, kid, student, same age as me, but with this like giant magnet thing on like a trench coat on beside me like, keep saying it. God, that's strange. That's strange. All right. You went from being relatively underground to exploding, at least we think so. Have you found the pressure and the attention difficult at times or how are you handling it? Yeah, for a while, yeah, it was pretty confusing. What was the difference like in the beginning? Well, I mean, at first, because I've been doing the music thing for like a long time, probably like eight years or something. I mean, not that long, but I've been playing shows since I was like 18 or something all the time. Right. So, you know, the jump from like, oh, now I'm on a record label in the States, now I can go play down there, yada, yada, yada. That was pretty crazy, but I mean, it was still pretty mellow for a while, but now it's like, yeah, kind of nuts. I mean, it depends on where I am and stuff, but some kids go really crazy, so. Are you going crazy? The what? I was, but now I'm just kind of like. You kind of like found yourself in the groove? I just like have given up any idea of like myself, and I'm just essentially like, they can do whatever the hell they want with me and my image now. It's all good. The dollars are rolling in. God bless the kids, you know? All right, man. I'm glad you're sitting ready. Your fans are really young. They even have this like crazy boy band reaction to you sometimes. Is that something you can ever get used to, or like what's the weirdest thing about you? What's the weirdest thing a band's ever done, a fan's ever done? I guess I'm used to it in a way, but I mean, it's also the reason, I mean, I really appreciate those kids. It's like, that's the reason I go out to play the shows because it's like, there's some freaks out there that are like really into what we're doing. They just want to have a good time with us. It's like, it's cool. But yeah, they do weird things a lot. Like in New York, a couple, maybe a month ago, a month and a half ago, we played a show at this like music festival on the river, and this girl, I think she was 15, and she brought a present for me, and I get presents sometimes, which is really cool, but this one was like, that's nice, yeah. Yeah, but this one was like, she was trying to go above and beyond. She gave me this jar filled with formaldehyde or like isopropyl alcohol or something, and in the alcohol or whatever it was, there was a pig fetus, and on the pig fetus, she had tattooed a picture of me as a mermaid. Whoa. Yeah, and she was like, here you go. And I was kind of like, okay, like, thank you, yeah. All right, so like this chick, like grabbed a tit, like a fetus of a pig, inked it, put it in some formaldehyde, and was like, this is for you, man. Pretty weird, yeah. Well, did you get that like after the show, or was it like right up on stage like she walked up? No, yeah, she found me after, she found my guitarist, Pete, and she was kind of like, Pete came up to me too, and he was like, hey, man, I think you should meet this kid, and I was like, man, I'm just hanging out. She's got this jar filled with it. Yeah, he was like, no, this one, like, yeah, I think you should come with me. What was your reaction to that? I was kind of like, uh, thank you, because it's pretty weird at first, you know, it's kind of like, Do you still have it? Yeah, it's in my booking agency's office, actually. I mean, what else can you do with it? You got to put that on the shelf, right? And at first, too, it's kind of like, you know, it's like, I defaced this like carcass of a living thing, it's kind of crazy, but if you think about it a little bit more rationally, it's kind of like, you know, say the girl's pretty young, she's an aspiring tattoo artist, so you don't want to go ahead and do something. You need that canvas. Yeah, and the canvas sometimes is pig fetus carcasses. Well, I've heard that the pig skin is as close to human skin as possible. someday, little Aoife that gave me the pig fetus will be a great tattoo artist. Awesome, Mac. Yeah. We have you with an acoustic guitar here, and you're going to play some tunes. I love the cap that you got going with the sharpie. Whatever works, brother. Makeshift, you know. So, which song did you want to do first? We're going to try Salad Days. Sounds okay? That sounds great in my headphones. I'm sure it sounds great elsewhere. Okay, cool. This song is called Salad Days. Okay. That looks a bit sharp. You keep away and do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. you try another year. Oh dear Act your age and try another year God bless America. Dude, that was beautiful, man. Thank you. I had a little fucking throg in my throat there, but it's all good now. Hey, cheers, brother. How's that Sharpie working out for you? It's okay. A little buzzy, but maybe it sounds... It sounds like we're in a studio. I dig that. Beautiful. So then the next one you're going to do is Let It Go? Yeah, let's try another one. Oh, I'd love it. Hold on, I just got to move the capo here. Hey, do your thing. What do we got, like a bunch of hair ties and a Sharpie? Oh, that's beautiful. Come on. Give me some love. Always forgetting my capo. It works better down here, probably. It holds on a little tighter, huh? Good enough. Right on. Let it go. Tell her that you love her Tell her that you love her If you really love her If you really love her If you really love her If your heart just ain't sure Let her know Growing by the hour Love just like a flower But when the flower dies You've got to say goodbye Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Separation's supposed to make the heart grow fond But it don't So tell her that you love her If you really love her But if your heart just ain't sure Let her go Let her go Let her go Let her go Let her go How's Janet? Yeah, no, no, yeah, na-na-na, na-na-na Me, na-na-na, no E-e-e-e E-e-e-e Oh, oh La-la-la-la Oh, yeah La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la God bless Oh, man, thank you so much Thanks, man No problem We're gonna do some songs Let's see if we get to know you a little bit better after this Show Here's the Moffs We had Kim in last week Much respect When I'm in downtown L.A.

I don't know why Mark was coming in. Oh, no. Wake the fuck up, Alex. It's 3 a.m., man. Dude, you were at FYF parting your ass off, and we didn't get any work done. Hey, man. You left me alone. That's your fault, man. Well, you were all fucking off and having fun, watching Mac and shit. We didn't get any work done. No, whatever, bro. Yeah, you know what you mean. watching my life passing right in front of my eyes telling a story or is it boring can't claim the care never been reluctant to share causing our pieces of me don't you know nothing comes free what mom don't know has taken its toll on me it's all I know saying it can't be wiped clean it's hard to believe what it's meant of me passing my life living it out with her side listening closely hearing mostly can't shake the concern it seems that every time that I turn I'm in a state of shock I'm passing out pieces of me don't you know nothing comes free what mom don't know has taken its toll on me it's all I say it can't be wiped clean it's hard to believe what it's meant of me yeah music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music and strange. I think it's kind of useful, too, because people often assume that I'm like a complete ignoramus moron. Right, they call you like gap-toothed prankster. These things that are getting tossed around. Like a punk slacker. He sticks stuff up his ass. You're like, hey, I do that. I've done it before, but I mean, sometimes it's nice, especially when they come in with these goofy questions. If you can put together half a sentence, then they're kind of like, wait a minute, uh-oh. You kind of flip the switch. But I think it's also useful, too, because I think people are confused about what me and my band actually are. Maybe they stay interested for a little longer. When you get the little extravagance in there. How would you like the difference to be? Is there a happy medium you'd like to meet with that? Or are you totally cool with running on that persona? Oh, yeah, I don't care what they think. They can say whatever they want. It's totally fine by me. Do you think it overshadows your music at all? The meaning behind your songs? Probably to some people, yeah, probably. But once again, don't care as long as they're paying attention to me. I just want to be Michael Jackson. That's it. Right on, man. You strike me as the kind of guy who's got some stories. What's the craziest thing that's happened to you on tour other than Pig Fetus? We smoked a joint with Kyle Gass from Tenacious D in Brussels recently. That was interesting. Well, that's pretty badass. How'd that go? We were under the influence of a couple different things, so it was very, uh, very trippy. But it was cool. Cool to meet the guy. Did you play with him? Like, did you guys share the same bill? The same festival bill, so. Right, right. Sort of, but I don't know. What other weird things have happened? I don't know. It kind of just gets all blurry after a little while. Things happen. Yeah. We remember or we don't. Yeah, exactly. Right on, dude. Have you known the guys in your backing band for a long time? I'm sure that makes the long touring a lot easier for you or more fun. Why don't you tell us about your guys? Well, sure. We just lost a guy, Peter. He died of Ebola. Oh my God. Let's try to look at it. Sorry to hear that. He's not, not of Ebola. Let's say, um, let's say he got hit by a bus or something. That's a little bit, it was a little touchy right now, so maybe not a good one to use. Anyway, Pete died. Um, but we got this really handsome new young man named Andy playing the guitar. Came right on. He's got a great body. He's like very fit. He exercises a lot. I can vouch for that dude. He's, he can vouch for that. You saw him. Yeah. He's a tot. Yeah. Yeah. He looks good. Loins. Oh yeah. And so we have him and I've known him for, uh, maybe five, five years or something. I met him in Montreal. He's from Florida. Great guitar player. He has his own band called ton starts bandit. Um, and he lives in New York with me in the same house. And then the other two guys have been with me since the beginning. Joe is the drummer and he's kind of like this like beautiful, like Adonis style man with like long flowing frosted locks. And um, he has got an English major, so he likes poetry in case any of the girls are interested. Oh yeah. I'm interested. Exactly. Yeah. Boys too. Yeah. Fair enough. Um, but yeah, so he's the drum kind of plays the drums like a gorilla. Love him to pieces. And then, um, and then Pierce is, uh, he's kind of our like, um, what is it? Contrarian, uh, kind of prankster, bad-ass, uh, bass player boy. So yeah. Good, good boys. Yeah. Um, yeah. I've known him forever. I don't think I could go on tour with like hired guns. I think it would, uh, I think I would end up like hanging myself probably. Yeah. I was like thinking about that. Like there's such a difference between like the hired gun route, like studio musicians are like, shit, I need an extra guitar or rhythm or a new drummer for this thing. Just cause we're going to be in France this week or whatever. Like let's see who's there that can do those dates and pick up the songs quickly. I don't see that in your music as like a, your go-to for solving solutions, but it's great that you have like that unit behind you and I feel like it comes through and your records and your songs, do you track with them in studio and everything? I do the tracking by myself. But, but it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a. Do you write together though? No. No. It's all me. But you trust them enough to like handle your, your babies. Your songs. You know, they can do whatever they want. Cause it's supposed to be fun up there. It's one of the things I think it's kind of like, you know, it's a rock. It usually had like a stinky club or something. It's not an art gallery. So like, you know, it's supposed to be a fun time for us and for the kids in the crowd. So I think it's. It's what makes it organic. Exactly. Yeah. That's awesome. It's great to hear. Grain fed. You want to do some rapid fire questions here. Let's get as fast as possible. Do this shit. If you could be in any band, what band would it be, dead or alive? Metallica. No shit, really? Yeah, I think that'd be okay. Sweet, dude. What are you doing, vocals? Are you on Lars' kit? Or are you just, like, with them? I'd be probably doing Kirk's job. That's sick. Or Kurt. Could you imagine Mac DeMarco playing Kurt's job? Yeah, Kirk Hammett. Kirk Hammett. Is it Kirk or Kurt? It's Kirk. Yeah, Kirk. Kirk Hammett, lead guitar. Yeah. Mac DeMarco, lead guitar for Metallica. I'd start buying Metallica records again. Yeah. No problem. What's your guilty pleasure song? Guilty pleasure song would have to be, I don't know, something by Coldplay. Yeah, no shit? Like, maybe... Hot Jambalaya. Maybe Yellow, I guess, or maybe The Scientist or something. So catchy. Interesting. What about your guilty pleasure movie? Movie. Movie. Guilty pleasure movie. Oh, man. Ooh. Amazing Spider-Man 2, probably. I've seen it like 50 times now. Damn, all right. I haven't seen it. I don't know if that's even a guilty pleasure, but I like cry when I watch it. It's beautiful. You cried when you watched Spider-Man 2? The Amazing One. First time I saw it, I was like, oh, my God. Yeah, it's like really serious. It's like, it really like hits at home. That's Emma Stone still in that one. Yeah, she dies at the end. Sorry if I ruined it. Shit, I haven't seen it, dude. Yeah. But the way that Spider... Just the connection between Spider-Man and the, what's the actor's name? Jamie Foxx. Yeah, it's beautiful. Spider-Man loves the people. He loves the people, man. He's out in the streets of New York for the people. That's what he's about. Just like Mac, dude. Yeah, fuck yeah. Just like Mac. I love Spider-Man. What do you like better, recording or touring? Two different things, I think. Well, they're completely different things. Yeah. How do you feel about each? I like them both a lot. Is there one you hold higher in your heart? Not really. I think they're good for different reasons. It's kind of like touring is really fun because you're meeting people all the time, having a party, having a good time. Sometimes the time is not so good, but hopefully that doesn't happen that much. And I feel like, you know, I like to do it, so we do it for a long time. It's great. But recording is like, you know, because I'm all alone. I don't even like hanging out with anybody when I'm recording, so it's kind of like different head space. It's like that solitude. You get to be like in tune with you. You get to be like Buddha Man for a while or whatever. It's like, you know, kind of a... It's interesting for, you know. I think it's like you go completely insane when you're touring, and then the cool-off period is when you get to do another record. You get to hone yourself back in and put something else out that means something. Yeah, hopefully. And then we go nuts. And... Spread it around the world for a bit. And then repeat. Yeah. That's beautiful, man. What's the first album you ever bought? First album I ever bought? I think it was probably the Blue album by Weezer. I think. I know that, man. I mean, I had gotten like Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit CDs for a couple years at that point, but then I remember going with like 20 bucks to the record store on the main strip in my hometown and bought... Yeah, I think it was the Blue. Maybe it was the Blue. Maybe it was the Green album. How old was I? I don't know. But I think that was the first one I remember being like, well, I'm going to pay for this. This is the one I'm putting my money in on? Yeah, yeah. Right on, dude. You're going to play another song.
