What kinda crazy d00d decides it's a good idea to slap a Nat-zi emblem on a mic? :lol: I mean, it's not necessarily a bad idea, but not a good one. :red:


The German government at the time? :red: Like I said, original from way back in the day. Someone must have, er, liberated it after WWII, and now it's in a studio. I have heard Tool used it as a vocal mic, but I don't know if that's true. Probably worth a fortune.

I just kinda assumed it must have been done up later on, as they were supposed to destroy all that shit, right? That is pretty nuts though, man. Probably sounds really.. Authoritative. :red:

Ironically, that's specifically why they chose the Neumann CMV3. Well, it was also German-made, but the condenser mic was a new technology and sounded crisper, clearer, cleaner etc. than what they had kicking about at the time. It's the immediate ancestor of the classic Neumann vocal mics.

Someone apparently nicked one and brought it home, and now it makes rock-and-roll instead of fascism.

I wonder how often it gets used on sessions? I forget what studio has it... I could see that having serious negative mojo. Personally, I would find a reason to use it on something, as a big "fuck you" to the original owners, who would not have liked me very much.

Geez, if I owned that mic. It would be like owning some object of great facility, but great evil. Like the One Ring or something.

The 1806 one could be turned into a dance track sooo easily. Hell, all of them could be. Perhaps when I am more conscious...

I have a hard time believing the first two are real. One is a well-known thing, Angkor Wat, and obviously these are dressed up a bit. Still, they are all lovely.

Nick Cave and Nick Cave. The black dude with the beard is a sculptor and installation artist, not the Australian singer-songwriter.

Nothing says "classy" like chewing tobacco with the n-bomb on the can. :monocle:

And is that a llama or an alpaca? There is a difference. :red:

On the subject of Piltdown Man:

Quote:
While the hoax was eventually exposed, the prankster behind the caper is still at large. Dawson is the most likely culprit, but literary sleuths have turned their suspicions to another man: Sherlock Holmes’s creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Not only was Conan Doyle a member of Dawson’s archaeological society and a frequent visitor to the Piltdown site, he hinted in his novel The Lost World that faking bones is no tougher than forging a photograph—the ultimate smoking gun! If only Holmes were on the case.


That would be pretty fucking awesome, if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was the perpetrator of the Piltdown hoax. :monocle: :isay: :lol:
