The last thing any Lodge needs is some old Past Grand Master trying to control things. There is no Lodge for me to lead, no chair for me to sit in. In one week I must face the reality that I have reached the absolute pinnacle of Ancient Craft Masonry. A space large enough for two or three to gather in quiet conversation about the important questions of life. A place in which the spirit symbolized by the Compass can clearly rule the animal nature symbolized by the Square.įinally though, and very importantly I think, a space in which to teach. A space for tarot, in the different way I use it. A place to read about important philosophical subjects, and to write about Masonry. Perhaps not as small and dark as these spaces traditionally tend to be, but a still, silent, and dim out of the way place, with memento mori the focus.Ī place to meditate and contemplate. God Bless.For almost as long as I’ve been a Mason, I have wanted to create a small, contemplative space for myself. MD: I generally just listen to older stuff, but for newer bands, I’m listening to Connan Mockasin, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Jerry Paper. It’s been really great having all these opportunities.ĭI: One last question - who are you listening to these days? I’m meeting people that I look up to, and I’m also meeting people that I didn’t know but are super cool. MD: I get to meet people that have influenced me. Why do they want to know that? I don’t understand why people care.ĭI: What has been the best part about touring and becoming so well known? They don’t realize that I’m just being stupid back, but in reality, I don’t understand why they’re asking me what type of milk I’m drinking. But the questions some journalists ask are stupid. MD: I’m not a monkey, so I’m not going to do anything that I don’t want to do. I don’t really know why people want to know what milk I’m drinking. They think I’m this quirky guy and will run with the answer that they know people will giggle at and the goofy weird s**t is on the forefront. I don’t take myself very seriously, but when I think people are being stupid, I am going to be equally as stupid back.ĭI: Does it weird you out when interviewers ask you strange questions, like your milk preference, for example?
MD: I mean I honestly think it’s my personality. I eventually ended up in Montreal where I started playing shows and those shows ended up selling out and eventually I got a record deal.

Mac DeMarco: I started recording by myself when I was 17 or 18, and then I moved to Vancouver and started playing with different bands.
The Daily Illini: Can you tell me about how you got started as the solo Mac DeMarco? The Daily Illini had the chance to talk to DeMarco on the phone and go in-depth on how his success has completely changed his life. Despite his jokes, DeMarco is an individual who is still dealing with the rise of fame and society’s infatuation with superstardom. This past year, he has been touring all over the country and will continue on to a European tour after his performance at Foellinger Auditorium on Wednesday at 7 p.m. However, his second album, “2,” released by record label Captured Tracks gained him an even larger following.
CHAMBER OF REFLECTION CRACK
From gap-toothed prankster to a reputable songwriter with a huge cult following, DeMarco is maturing his character while reserving the right to crack a joke every now and again.Īt 24, DeMarco has released three successful albums, with first debut solo album, “Rock and Roll Night Club,” playing a major role in his jokester image the entire album could easily be mistaken for an Elvis impersonation. 11 on Billboards US Top Rock Albums, and DeMarco’s songwriting has transformed his persona on the newest record. His most recent album, “Salad Days,” placed No. From Montreal to Brooklyn, Mac DeMarco has quickly turned into a laid-back, surf-rock sensation with a propensity for songwriting.
