From Mac DeMarco's favourite tracks - The Guardian (September 6, 2015):
The record that made me feel different at school
Ask by the Smiths (1986)
At high school, people generally liked the same music I did, but when I started getting into the Smiths everybody was like: “Dude, why are you listening to this crap?” I was like: “Fuck you guys!” I remember playing this song in a car with some jock girls who liked hanging out with me for some reason – probably because they didn’t feel intimidated – and they just didn’t give a shit. Which is too bad, because it’s a really catchy, beautiful song.
