    got into mac for the crusty lo-fi pop songs, the silly substance-influenced attitude… stuck around for the hi-fi earthbound soundtrack outtakes & sober-headed discussions on being yourself. feel like i’m growing up with this guy

    I have to admit that I discovered him like last year when I was 16, so I’m kind off a kiddie and I also only heard his most famous songs back then. But I’m just so obsessed with his music recently, like in every song there are some tunes or lyrics to vibe and sing along to.

    I like that Mac still rocks the 5-panel hat, the classic vans, the double front pants, the tied hoodie strings. He started that trend back in like 2014 so it’s nice to see him staying true to it even after the copycats have moved on. He’s a real dude and he always was.

    didnt expect to relate so much to some comments on yt. I always beat myself up when I go through periods where im not drawn to creating music for some time, but every time it happens it doesn't take long for me to get all jazzed up about it again randomly. Creating is definitely an act from the heart, so its good to be aware of the fact that you don't need to force yourself to make stuff when you arent feeling it in the moment

    I once met this man when I was a teenager in Bangkok airport of all places. Mac was eating a pizza he’d bought with a couple of his associates/friends as I walked into the restaurant. Took me around 3 seconds as we locked eyes before realising who he was as he winked at me. Froze in total disbelief. I suppose that the wink was something of his invitation to approach, and as I did my mind was racing with a whirlwind of thoughts on what to say. The glib conversation must have lasted around 3 minutes or so but it seemed like hours as I churned out words of admiration, without trying to seem overly zealous. Ended up with him offering for a photo - totally cool guy. Afterwards I sat down with our backs oppositely facing, trying not to disturb him anymore before he left around 20 mins thereafter. Mac, I’m still a fan and thank you!

    One Wayne G is my most listened to album since it came out. There's so many amazing tracks in there. I really love when he does more ambient stuff. Really sounds like he liked to listen to Brian Eno in some tracks on there. I just really love it. I hope he does more like that in the future, especially since he said that he scrapped a lot of material for OWG.
