Traffic Jams: Mac DeMarco - 'My Kind Of Woman'
Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.
You know those bands that inexplicably remind you of a very specific kind of weather and a very specific period of your life? That's how I am with Mac DeMarco.
I found DeMarco in 2015 as I was preparing for my first trip abroad (to, of course, watch race car in other countries). It was hot, humid, and rainy in Texas, and DeMarco became my "running at a steady pace for a very long time" music. And my "cutting my hair into bangs for the first time" music. And then, later, my "dying my hair Ronald McDonald red" music.
I'm at a point in my life where I no longer run for long periods of time, and as much as I miss having red hair, I do not miss the maintenance that it required. Bangs are still on the table later this month, though. We'll have to see what happens.
In any case: Enjoy "My Kind of Woman," which is one of DeMarco's finest — and most popular — tracks. If you're looking for a deeper cut, however, I wish to point you to Makeout Videotape's Ying Yang album, which just as effectively conveys the whole "probably making bad choices but still enjoying it" vibe.
