THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF MIXERMAN

Based on a series of blog entries by recording engineer/author Eric "Mixerman" Sarafin, this audiobook features some crafty production and a performance by the author. Sound effects, musical character tags, and a cast of background voices merge to tell this story of self-absorbed music biz types in search of a hit record. Your guide for the festivities is Mixerman, a snarky recording engineer whose workday is ruined if he can't get a chocolate muffin. If you can put up with the bathroom humor, insider jokes, and cantankerous protagonist, this audio is engaging and addictive. Although this production will surely appeal to musicians, it should also touch a nerve for anyone who's watched a major project deflate from ineptitude and excess.
