Ep.43 - Mac Miller

<p>A retrospective we didn't want to do at a crucial point in the subject's life &amp; career. But due to his death and the recent posthumous release "Circles", this was the best time to dive into the music career of Mac Miller.</p><p>For context: Ben has been a fan of Mac for years and parallels his life to Mac's. Charlie, however, only spun "The Divine Feminine" when it initially dropped and spent the week before recording taking a trip through Mac's career from "K.I.D.S" to "Circles".</p><p>So it made for good discussion as we went through Mac's discography and getting the thoughts from one person with a deep connection to Mac and the other listening to the majority of Mac's discography for the first time. This was a tough episode to record for reasons you'll find out by listening, but it's a great episode because of it. RIP Mac.</p><p>TIMESTAMPS:<br>Weekly Music Roundup - (1:58)<br>Topic Intro - (17:30)<br>Mac's early tapes (Pre-BSP) (28:39)<br>Blue Slide Park - (34:16)<br>Macadelic - (40:14)<br>WMWTSO, Delusional Thomas &amp; Faces - (45:20)<br>GO:OD AM &amp; The Divine Feminine - (57:34)<br>Swimming &amp; Circles - (1:05:35)<br>Lighter Note - (1:15:35)</p><p>Thanks for listening.
