I love Mac's music. The single/album name clash sounds like a huge waste of time, can't believe anyone even mentioned it.

- fokinsean 7y agoWe live in an age of outrage, people will always find ways to make something out of nothing.
- vonseel 7y agoSpot on. This controversy doesn’t surprise me at all. I am a little surprised Mac wasn’t aware of her album, though. You would think the Mac world and Mitski world are relatively close circles in indie rock. What I really wanna hear, is some of those Mac/Anderson Paak jams.
- jackfrodo 7y agoObviously the Twitter outrage was way out of line, but I'll lay out the thinking as a Mitski fan: Mitski releases Be The Cowboy, with the single "Nobody", and it's her real shot into the mainstream, and goes on to get Pitchfork's Album of the Year for 2018. And I think the Mitski fanbase is particularly bizarre in how closely they identify with her.[1] So for Mac Demarco to release Here Comes the Cowboy, with the lead single "Nobody", right after all that, feels weird. Obviously it's a coincidence and not a big deal, but I understand why people thought it was worth mentioning.
