Welcome to the show notes. We will discover two tracks from Canadian muso Mac DeMarco (actual birth name Vernor Winfield MacBriare Smith IV). It's a Wax Time Special from Richard where he has dug deep into his own personal vinyl collection. Richard has come up with 3 belters, or 2 belters and µ-Ziq depending on your opinion. We've got a brilliant Listener Suggestion from Fraser in Bolton, UK. Word on the street is that Fraser's going to be featured on the show again in a couple of weeks. This is as a result of the quality of the suggestions he made. He also added a short summation to each track. Thanks Fraser, it's loyalty to the show like yours that keeps us going back into the studio for more.

Canadian born musical one man recording phenomenon. He has released three full length LPs and two mini-eps all at the tender age of 28. Yep, we're jealous. His musical style has been often described both as "blue wave" and "slacker rock". Also more eloquently by himself as "jizz jazz". Mac DeMarco was a member of several indie-rock/ post-punk musical outfits during his school years namely The Meat Cleavers, TheSound of Love and Outdoor Miners. After graduating from High School Mac DeMarco became a backing musician and moved to Vancouver. Heat Wave - Mac DeMarco's first solo album 2009 Heat Wave is a self-produced garage-noise/punk rock solo LP recorded in 2009. It sold out of its 500 unit run. After the success of this DeMarco toured with Japandroids then left Vancouver for Montreal to continue work as a solo artist. Times where tough for him. Unable to find work as a musician he participated in medical experiments for money. He also worked for a road paving crew. In 2012 his luck changed and he was signed to Captured Tracks. Shortly after he released mini-LP Rock and Roll Night Club. This well received EP convinced Captured Tracks to release a full length debut LP. Consequently, 2 was released. After that, DeMarco's second full length LP was released - Salad Days. Following on from that,
