The best bit of Mixerman is that it's (mostly) true.

Re: Feed Your Head: the "what are you reading" thread.
Meh. What passes for "true"? I have read that, and it is funny. I don't doubt that Eric Sarafin ran into a lot of those type of situations recording the types of bands that he has worked with, but there is definitely a bit of Gonzo Journalism going on all up in that shizz. I mean, i actually prefer it that way.

Re: Feed Your Head: the "what are you reading" thread.
I think I recall reading a bit. Like where he says you should put your ear up to a blaring loud 4x12 to find the best speaker? Yeah, I don't think I will be doing that. That's like telling a painter to stare into the sun.

That's Slipperman and the Distorted Guitars From Hell thread. Which is on Mixerman's forum. But they aren't the same guy.

Re: Feed Your Head: the "what are you reading" thread.
Perhaps I should have better said "based on true stories". The account as a whole is, of course, a fictionalized collection of anecdotes. It's like someone made a book out of the Stupidest Things Heard In The Studio thread on Gearslutz.

Re: Feed Your Head: the "what are you reading" thread.
I gotta say in the Richards book "Life" seems like he wrote it for musicians, because he really talks about some chord structure and writing etc, it's not dumbed down for the general population.

Re: Feed Your Head: the "what are you reading" thread.
He has a telekinetic third arm. So you could say it's like, a telekinetic dick. Cause fuck, it could be any sort of bodily appendage. But arm length. He has a psychic dick-lengthed arm, with a hand at the end, and he uses it to hold his cigarettes while he smokes them, or to hoist shots of liquor. Or to reach into his opponents' chests and stop their hearts. With his telekinetic dick.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to pitch a book called The Long Telekinetic Dick of Gil Hamilton
