AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Question Who is Mixie from Caress Me Down (and are there any pictures of her on the internet)?
Answer EJ --
It is unlikely that the mixie he refers to is a real person, rather a character used for the song. I have heard that she represents a hot young mexican girl that Brad likes to hook up with -- another unnamed girl in his life like the heina or ruca, or the people with names that aren't actual people like Sancho or Mary. Real people in lyrics are Bert Suzanka (leader of Brad's favorite band, the Ziggens), Ron Jeremy (famous ugly pornstar who would introduce the band at concerts), and Eireen (obscure song, ex-gf).
That should help. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Matt
