I imagine some rather severe writer's block prevented him from coming up with a 200th song, LOL. TBH, I had some poster's block when deciding which forum to put this in.
Fans of Mac DeMarco must feel like they’ve gone from famine to feast.

Until three months ago, the musician hadn’t put out an album in four years.

But after the January release of the instrumental album “Five Easy Hot Dogs,” DeMarco on Friday dropped a second album, though maybe “album” isn’t quite the right word.

“One Wayne G” runs 199 songs and has a runtime about nine and a half hours. It was released without much fanfare, with only DeMarco’s label, known cheekily as Mac’s Record Label, announcing “One Wayne G” with a simple Instagram post.


A complete songlist is on the Wikipedia entry for the album: One Wayne G
The running time of 8:43:20 is at odds with the 9 1/2 hours claimed by KTLA, IMO the latter includes dead space between songs. BTW 570 minutes would require eight 700 MB/80-minute CDs.
