Publisher's summary

After years of diminishing income due to cratering sales in the music business, Mixerman accepts a timely and lucrative offer from an Indian billionaire to mentor his son, Kanish Kanish. Mixerman's mission? To teach the young "billionheir" everything he knows about producing records. But it isn't long before they're teaching each other about life in general. After an initial carefree romp through California inspires a catchy ditty, the two partner up to produce the song and then break it on the Internet in an effort to get radio spins. There's just one problem. Mixerman's peers figure out how to import their own billionheirs, and before long things escalate into a race for the crown jewel of the music business: a big fat label deal with a major distributor. As in The Daily Adventures of Mixerman, his first book, Mixerman employs his sharp wit and a colorful cast of characters to take us on another wild adventure. In the process, he manages to expose the dark underbelly of today's music business in a way that even the music fan can understand. And it ain't pretty.

Brilliant satire on the music industry

Would you consider the audio edition of Mixerman and the Billionheir Apparent to be better than the print version?

This book is expertly produced (as one might expect) with a fantastic narration and cast. Mixerman brings a fresh satirical look at the modern music industry - or lack there of - American politic's, life in California, and much more. This is a well crafted story that reminds me of South Park's greatest episodes.

What did you like best about this story?

Mixerman's first book is outstanding as well, but this one really cuts like a knife and is much more overtly political. Mixerman uses this platform to show how the music business is a microcosm of the larger picture of globalism and big business.

Which character – as performed by Mixerman – was your favorite?

Mixerman is really only himself and the narrator. There is a great cast that does the rest of it.

Any additional comments?

For fans of Entourage and South Park. Anyone interested in the inner working of the music business told through a great narrative story might enjoy this.

Great

I can't get enough of 'Zerman, aka DJ Produca Mixerman, and Knish Knosh II. This book was amazing.

A Hilarious Take On The Current State Of The Music Industry

This audiobook is entertaining, hilarious, and has some very interesting truths about the state of the music industry as well as politics as of late, and kept me up many nights laughing my ass off. Kudos to Mixerman and Co., this is a must listen!

What a ride!

This is an epic adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat to the very end! No spoilers for you guys get the book it is an amazing performance!

Good overall, kind of preachy toward the end

This started out hilarious as hell. I had just finished the "daily adventures" audiobook, and was ready for another great ride.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good listen, but it did get preachy towards the end. I was worried that I was going to get the mixerman version of the 80 page John Galt speech, but it wasn't that bad.

Still, do grab it, it was entertaining, and I did listen every time I got in the car.

Decent

Started out as another good mm story. The back third was thinly veiled socio-political commentary that left me a bit detached from the original story (which had its moments of that but didn’t feel so heavy handed).

Nothing about recording

The reason i decided to read this mixerman book is to hear a funny recording story but unfortunately this is neither funny or about recording. Nothing like the first diaries book. While this book starts out promising the story quickly devolves to such an unrealistic farce light years more about "smoking fatties" than anything resembling recording, only to end with an attempt to place blame for the down turn in the music industry. It got so bad in chapter 24 that i almost stopped listening and probably should have.
