Get ready for the revelation of the century. This man is on a mission to find out the real nature of Andrew WK. Is AWK genuine, or is he an imposter? Let's find out...
Strange coded messages begin to appear of AWKworld.com and AndrewWK.com. The code is a series of numbers and symbols in parenthesis. The code had several levels of complexity (again, ‘levels’) and it required the reader to take each number to match it to a corresponding letter in the alphabet. For example: A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on. So, a simple message would read: (19)(20)(5)(5)(22)-(13)(9)(11)(5), which translates into “Steev Mike”. The two number (5)’s next to each other (“55”) was seen again and again in many different pieces of code. Sometimes the code involved several levels of deciphering, meaning that rather than numbers spelling out words, sometimes the numbers would spell out the written words for other numbers. For example: “(14)(9)(14)(5)(20)(5)(5)(14)-(20)(23)(5)(14)(20)(25)-(6)(9)(22)(5)-(6)(9)(22)(5)-(20)(23)(5)(14)(20)(25)-(20)(23)(15)---(20)(8)(9)(18)(20)(5)(5)(14)-(14)(9)(14)(5)-(5)(12)(5)(22)(5)(14)-(6)(9)(22)(5)” spells out the words: “nineteen twenty five five twenty two - thirteen nine eleven five”, which equals: “(19)(20)(5)(5)(22)-(13)(9)(11)(5)”, which equals: “STEEV MIKE”. This code may seem confusing at first, but it’s easy to work with once you get the hang of it. Some ANDREW W.K. fan even made an online “Steev Mike” traslator, which is incredibly helpful for the long codes: "STEEV MIKE CODE TRANSLATOR". One of the first coded messages to appear on AWKworld.com spelled out: “NOW ITS TIME FOR STEEV MIKE ...AND THEN HE LEFT.” This was immediately confusing, as it was more or less the first time Steev Mike had been mentioned by an official ANDREW W.K. source since “I Get Wet”. Instantly people were confused by the code, the words in the message, and the empty strange tone it was written in. “Andrew W.K.” has always been known for his extremely upbeat and positive personality. This first message, and many of the messages to follow, displayed a harsh and sometimes unfriendly voice – much different from the “Andrew W.K.” everyone knew and loved. The contrast was undeniable and lead many to the conclusion that the messages were the work of an imposter or a computer hacker. Someone had hacked into the ANDREW W.K. website and was posting fake messages. Another coded message spelled out the words: “WHO KNOWS” and others translated into:
“I PROMISE ::: THIS PARTY NEVER STOPS. I'M GOING TO BE AROUND, JUST NOT WHERE THE MUSIC DOESN'T SOUND OUT LOUD. EVERYTHING I HAVE GOES INTO THIS MUSIC, WITH MY COMPLIMENTS, Andrew W.K.” and “WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? DID THEX EVER REALLY HAPPEN IN THE FIHST PLACE? WHILE GOING, Andrew W.K.”
