Everyone’s fave Pepperoni Playboy Mac Demarco, not content it seems with writing one of the albums of the year (Salad Days for those of you living under a rock) now wants to take over the retail world. Kind of….
The above pair of rather tattered vans were posted on eBay by Mac himself with the following caption –
“I’m selling an old pair of my shoes. I’ve John Hancocked the left shoe. Will anyone buy an old stinky pair of shoes? I don’t know. lets wait and see.”
Well following a bidding war someone was willing to buy the pair – for a whopping $21,100 on eBay. Yea you read that right – $21,000
He even answered a few of the weirder fan questions on the site – our faves below;
Q: i love you but my mom thinks that you are a reckless hillbilly who does nothing but smoke cigarettes and be foul. can you convince her otherwise? i cant seem to convince her myself. P.S. you should play an all ages show at brooklyn sometime goodbye mac (i love you)
A: Not a hillbilly, just Canadian, there’s a difference. Sorry mom. We’ll do a bk all ages show soon
Q: hey so whats the deal man?
A: Pee pee!!!
Q: What are your thoughts on Nickelback?
A: Look at this photograph.
Q: Do you have any interest in trading a jar of ghost cum for your red clown shoes? #slimer Best Jeremiah
A: I don’t think they need any ghost cum at rock camp for girls
But if you were unsure as to the pong – he even posted a video of his much serenaded lady – Kira – giving them a ceromonial whiff – watch below.
We love Mac and the fact that all the proceeds went to benefit Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls – so he’s a doing his bit for charity too. It seems like everything this guy touches turns to gold at the moment – even a pair of smelly old vans.
Need a further dose of the Mac? Check out his “Mac-umentry” below – following him and his band touring Salad Days.
