@@AndresFnt old media site called the "av club" had a series of videos called "av undercover" (this can be seen as there answer to NPR'S "tiny Desk" video series" , they featured mainly indie acts performing classic /hit songs. They had a pretty decent run, but around 2017 ownership of the a.v club flipped between a couple different companies, in the wake of this development, the AV Club's youtube was wiped. many of these videos went missing for a small period.
Periodically checking for a full reupload was starting to feel like checking the fridge even though you know there's nothing in there. And then it paid off. Thanks man.
Watching this again after, so long I think this might have been a gateway to listening to the velvet underground. (Already loved Mac then).Serious influence in this cover!
Glad I've kept looking for this one all this time. Thanks for uploading it! Any chance you have Sharon Van Etten doing Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy"?
That's not true. All the AV undercover videos got taken down season by season. Probably a copyright issue. There was nothing specific about this cover that got it taken down, the whole season disappeared at once.
Fun fact: The first album Mac ever bought with his own money was the Blue Album when he was 13 years old.
And he didn't know the lyrics?
@@SwordShaw-c6dHe learned the song in the car in 2 hours. You can know a song your whole life and still not remember the lyrics.
There are so many lost gems from the av underground, i'm so glad we got this one back!
I remember the debut of this video on YT. What’s the story behind this AV underground that you speak of? What happened to the original video?

WombatMuffins it was on dailymotion the whole time
@@how8765 I forget that place exists most of the time, but it's definitely always been a good site to find stuff that's been taken off UA-cam.
This is the video that got me into Mac all the way back in 2014. I've never looked back since.
This is the video that got me into Weezer 😁
Learning the song you're about to cover on your way to the venue gives me anxiety like nothing else
Dang man, thanks for reuploading this!
I love this cover so much, always makes me laugh and smile when I come back to it
This was the profrmence that turned me onto Mac Demarco
Matt, you're the dude. thanks for re-uploading this.
These were gold, I didn't realize how good until I couldn't find em anymore

Thanks for this re-upload. Many years after, i think i like this cover more than the original one !

Dood sounds like Robert Smith from
“The Cure “ at 2:28
This sounds nasty and I love it

Glad I've kept looking for this one all this time. Thanks for uploading it! Any chance you have Sharon Van Etten doing Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy"?
Chris Laws unfortunately I do not Chris. Hopefully there is still someone out there that does
Yes indeed, thanks!
the best of the AV Club
clutch
fucking home shake rips the shit out of this guitar solo
that was fantastic
Damn that was dope dudes!
Homeshake on guitar
i fucking love you dude
how the fuck does pete get those tones during his solo, sounds like a jet plane, specifically at like 2:49 and 3:29
A year late, but it’s a wammy pedal that he’s engaging and disengaging that creates that sort of sound
vERY cHILL
MacNcheese
Does someone know which pedal is the guitarist using? The pitch shifting one. Probably through a whammy
Hero

I dont like any of his music, but they killed it with this cover, I've watched it at least 75 times now.
wow what is the effect pedal on that solo ? hahaha anybody knows?
digitech whammy my dude
Ruben Vasconez Swett thank ya-ou!!
Whammy with a pitch shifter, I think(?)
Does anyone know what pedal Pete uses during the intro riff?
for that and the crazy solo part he's using a Digitech whammy
it sounds like some kind of ring modulator
Pete used a boss ps-5 for the intro and on the solo. He also uses it a lot on his vocals on his homeshake records
Pitch Shifter
why did they take down all the av undercover stuff
bulls on parade
what happened with all these cover songs that av undercover had? why did these get deleted?
Were these deleted?!?!
Anyone know what guitar mac has in this?
equipboard.com/pros/mac-demarco/mac-demarco-mosrite-hybrid-guitar
Teisco
Why was this deleted in the first place?
AV club thought he was being disrespectful to weezer or something
@@unctlk how? This is a pretty good cover
@@eatingicepops I'm pretty sure it was because of the stuff he said at the beginning of the video
@@eatingicepops or the jibberish they make of the lyrics at the beginning haha idk
