"A better mouse head
Toronto electro-dance producer and musician Joel Zimmerman (Deadmau5) is identifiable by the Muppet-y mouse head he wears onstage. It's not unusual for Zimmerman (who has performed in some 30 countries) to meet fans with rodent regalia even more spectacular than his own. But no longer, says the Grammy-nominated artist, who plans to unveil the mightiest mouse lid yet in about three months' time. "It will exploit some technology unseen to human eyes," declares Zimmerman, "and nobody will be copying it any time this decade."
Tell us more, please, we're all ears! "Sorry, I can't get it into it right now," he replies, with a cheese-eating grin. "It's gonna be crazy, that's all I can say." B.W." |

I thought it came off as a bit pompous personally. Specifically:
| quote: | Not only is the star outspoken in his attitude toward song-merging DJs - "I don't see the technical merit in it" - he finds his fandom ironic.
"Sometimes I look out at a crowd of 70,000 people," he remarks, envisioning one of his stadium appearances. "I focus on a middle spot and I'm thinking that it's my idea of hell."
That his audiences would pay to put themselves in a sweaty, jostling throng and pay silly amounts of money for bottled water is an odd notion to the laid-back Zimmerman, who no longer dances much himself. "I don't get it, but I don't question it any more," he shrugs. "They're all smiling, they're all jumping, so I'll throw 'em music."

Wonder what Syd thinks about his opinion of "song merging DJs" |

I find that with most articles I've read about him. How quickly he forgets that it was the song merging DJs playing his stuff that got him noticed. |

Far from that if you put yourself in his shoes... I've seen what he had to put up with personally before, during and after his performances, with random wanna be producers, managers, promoters, tea baggers constantly bugging his ass, promising him this ,promising that, each one coming up with what they think is a unique idea yet he's heard the same bul over and over by the last guy and before him. I laughed with him listenning to this from the side, I don't blame him at all. Anyone that goes from obscurity to rapid fame that fast is going to act like that. Joel wasn't bred by his parents from a young age to become what he is today, unlike other artists. For doing all this by himself without a talent and public speaking and PR coach, he's progressed quite normally. |

"Sometimes I look out into a crowd of 70,000 people, and who do I see?"
"Emilio Estevez, the mighty duck man"
"He turns to me and tips his hat...like this"
"EMILIO!" |

Remind me again what electronic artists were raised by their parents to perform at raves?
A public speaking and PR coach?
lol, what?
I get that you know him personally, and I am sure there are annoyances to his job, but that's life...everyone's life. You can't deny it comes off a bit arrogant. |
