Red Mosquito

i figured someone here would know who this guy is since he's from seattle

heard this song for the first time 2 nights ago, ive probably listened to it 20 times since.



*edited for beegirl

It's Macklemore. Michael Wansley (Aka Wanz) is my daughter's good friend's dad.

We love this song too. My favorite ear worm lately. And he's finally getting recognition. They were on Fallon a month or so ago and I think they were supposed to be on David Letterman last night or tonight.

He's got a lot of good stuff out there. I like the official Thrift Store video, too, because they look like they are having so much fun and I recognize the places. It's nice to see when hard work pays off.

Fuckin' guy. Ugh, so annoying.
There's a love/hate thing with him here.

My cousins drove from Lincoln & Omaha to see this guy play Red Rocks last weekend.

It really IS annoying!

Yeah, I like this guy. I really like the song he wrote with Mary Lambert too.

I just saw an ad for a Macklemore concert in a couple weeks at a casino in Puyallup. It has 1,800 seating capacity. And it’s in Puyallup.

And it’s a casino.

Has this guy’s star fallen that much? Less than 5 years ago he played two consecutive nights at Key Arena.

Yikes.

And it’s a casino. Pretty fast though. I saw Better This Ezra at a casino a few years ago, but I guess that was like 2 decades after their hit.

Yikes.

Makes sense really.

I saw him for free like 4 years ago

Wow you really butchered the placement of your BTEzra comment.

Better THIS Ezra, too?

What the fuck snatch?

I’m on a phone and eating rice at the same time, cut me some slack!

Also when I hit submit I noticed my edit wasn’t where it was supposed to be so I just assumed RM fucked up and I moved along

With chopsticks????

I'm ashamed to admit I liked the chorus hook from 'Thrift Shop' the first few times I heard it. Dude is obviously gigacringe though.

Worst mainstream music success to come out of Seattle. Ever.

Worse than Candlebox?

Love me some Candlebox

'thrift shop' is the only song i can thing of from this guy right now. its a great song, but i don't think anything he did after was interesting. i remember hearing another musician from seattle talking about how macklemore can walk around town and no one gives a shit lol.

I liked Same Love, but mainly because I love Mary Lambert and Macklemore used her song
