Mixerman Revealed!

[dokushoka]

None of the people are him.

[effector]

well, the more people we can conclusively say are NOT mixerman, the closer we get to narrowing it down! only a few billion to go....

[bluesman]

I am NOT Mixerman......I hope this helps!

[spankenstein]

Damn, ok, it's me sorry. I just act like a plain guy as a cover.

[electric sound of jim]

i thought he might be doug boehm but it probably isn't

[drumsound]

None of the people are him.

Are you sure...?

There are plenty of things that can make you more valuable than [other studios], such as: A better sounding room. Being able to tune drums to sound great, maximizing guitar sounds and bass sounds. Understanding music, and recognizing weaknesses that can easily be fixed in a song. Understanding how to make a band or artist relax, or be agitated (whichever works best) enough to perform their best. Having a good head for sound, and the interaction of sound and frequencies. Understaning arrangement, and providing that understanding to your client. Understanding how to run a session smoothly and efficiently. Understanding song structure, rhyme structure, rhythmic structure, and what makes a great song. Understanding how to get the clients 'ear' or trust over time." - Eric Sarafin

Hmmm. Back in college I took some grad classes in linguistics and literature, the guy who taught them was into stuff like studying language and writing style and individual word choices and how each person writes and puts sentences together in a fairly unique and identifiable way. The whole class was about stuff like, can we look at this old play and figure out from the language if it was really written by the real Shakespeare or is it a fake written later by somebody else? Can we read this kidnap ransom note and tell what part of the country the kidnapper is from or how educated he is by studying the language and grammer he uses? Can you analyze the writing in this letter supposedly written by Ernest Hemmingway and figure out if it's real or fake based on looking at the word choices and lengths of his paragraphs and the rhythms of the sentences? That kind of crap. And so I learned all this useless stuff about analyzing grammar and sentence patterns and how people write, some of it can be even happening unconciously.

And actually, to me, on the surface, that quote from Eric Sarafin does sound a bit like the way Mixerman writes. Just the style, the way he springs the rhythm in his sentences, the way they flow and stuff. I dunno. Just a crazy thought.

Mixerman is a composite. There's a little bit of mixerman in all of us. And a little bit of all of us in mixerman.

But not the kind of little bit that gets you royalty checks, do don't ask.

Yeah...sort of like even "mixerman" is not actually mixerman. So no one is really mixerman probably. However, someone does write the stuff and informs the character from a bazillion different anecdotes from experience, second hand stories, conjecture and imagination. Just because it's made up, doesn't make it any less true.

coniferouspine brings up a good point with the writing style thing. Has anyone asked ES his opinion on shoes and muffins?

Possibly the person now known as Mixerman took over the name from the last Mixerman, somewhat like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

[Albert]

Has anybody thought that Mixerman might actually be a Mixerwoman?

That opens up the possibilities to a few more billions.

[cgarges]

somewhat like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Awesome!

Chris Garges
Charlotte, NC

[JGriffin]

somewhat like the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Awesome!

I think that's the plot, and they pass the identity around in a locked thread over on Velvet Rope.

I can't wait until it's Geoff Emerick's turn.

"my name is mixerman, you stole my record, prepare to bleed from the ears"

[Randy]

I am Sparticus!



(sorry, I just had to do it.)

[jmoose]

Remember when Mixerman used to talk about recording?

Yeah.

Those were the days.

Now he's too fucking busy with that movie deal to do any real recording.

I hear he was miffed that they rewrote the true ending of the diary to something that was "more entertaining" and would make for a better movie then that original lame-ass ending...

That shit just kinda all fell-apart yo.

That album sold BAJILLONS of copies. Mixerfreak was too busy scouring the world for vintage Pultec's to write out the REAL end.

Anyhoo, Kevin Smith's directing and they cast Robin Williams as Willy Show. Mixergeeks character is being portrayed by Charlie Sheen.

They're still lookin' for someone to play Fingaz...

They had Pauly Shore but it wasn't working out.
