  • Dis-Cover Episode 65. This one has been suggested many times. I finally succumbed! What do I think? Honestly... you're not going to be surprised at my reaction! Or maybe you will? Join me as I listen to Mac Demarco's 2 for the first time.

    Jizz Jazz studio is like the fictional name he gives but really all his albums are recorded at where ever he's living. Also the last song "Together" is often extended up to 15+ minutes live these days.

    I’d like to point out that I love how open-minded you are. You’re actually enjoying the album even for the first time!!! It might sounds dumb but I wouldn’t never be able to do that...
    seeing you doing this type of videos motivates me to actually try and discover some other stuff without judging it beforehand. Love it

      It's cool going in completely blind. I'm sure people think it's weird that I don't know who some of these bands are... but that's the joy of it. There are positives and negatives when it comes to my "no research" mantra... but a massive upside is the genuine element of surprise. Music should surprise.

    Hope you go through his entire discography if you like his music of course. Leading up to his upcoming album Here Comes The Cowboy. He’s got 4 other albums you can check out.
    I’d say go for Rock and Roll Night Club next. Save This Old Dog for last so you get a feel for what could be in store for his next album.

    So I finally got around to watching. Before doing so, for some reason, I thought this was a reaction to Salad Days.
    Anyways, of course you loved it. Wish I could openly appreciate and enjoy unknown music like you do.
    Funny enough, I had yet to listen to this album before. I'd heard the rest of Mac's discography for a while now, but saved 2 for the right moment. I gave 2 a spin just before watching your reaction. This man can do no wrong and I'm sure you'll enjoy his other stuff just as much.
    I stand by you reacting to Rock and Roll Night Club next. I'd give you my thoughts/statements on it but I'm sure you'd rather go completely blind. Then Salad Days -> Another One and like I said before end it with This Old Dog. So basically chronological order!
    You could also listen to the demos in between each reaction. Aside from Rock & Roll Night Club, he's released demos for all his albums. They're a nice insight into how Mac goes about making each album.
    Thanks again for these reactions. They really make my day, truly.

  • @Hulin-0
    @Hulin-0 5 лет назад +5

    Here are my thoughts, written while I listen
    Pleasant foot-tapping songs that are easy to listen to, combined with vocals that become increasingly dull. This is growing on me as I listen along. Pretty pop songs made of bits of this and that offered up in a slightly disinterested but enchanting way. This brings to mind a vision of a shattered mirror that reflects everything tantalisingly rather than a faultless mirror that reflects one thing perfectly. I did not expect to like this but I did, I might even buy it….
    Oh and with regards to the knife, feel free to throw caution to the wind, better still use two knives. Life is so much more acute with a little danger thrown in. : )

    Again a fabulous thing to watch this discover - insight and laughs. "Be thankful I don't have a lyrics sheet in front of me." I had JUST pulled up the album lyrics in another window mere seconds before.. Excellent compareferences - more Paul than John, voicing like Dylan, Rolling Stones intertwining, Zep.
    Robson is a street in Vancouver - some upscale fashiony stores catering to a bit more than slightly moneyed 20-30 somethings.
