For just $10 you can get this high quality mic from WOOT!

Here's the link but in case the deal's gone by the time you get there here's a screen grab of this incredible offer:

I can't stop looking at the hair swoop in the first picture.

I believe a tube of hair gel comes with each mic package.

Is that meant to be a wink?
It rather appears to be a look of surprise and/or horror on finding an alien life-form on his head.

Some people can wink convincingly... some people can't.
Some photographers can capture a wink... those that can't simply tell the model to close one eye and hold the pose... and that never works Smile

Or possibly just the hair?

Not since Dr. Johnny Fever have we seen the old grasp-the-mic-that's-mounted-in-a-boom maneuver.

Nobody pulled that off better than Howard Hessman as Johnny Fever. What a character...

Yesterday booked my old U87 in for a service. Cost £480 which is around $650 the cost to mail it? MORE than the mic above but possibly less than the hair cut/style,

I'd become disinterested in sitcoms by the time WKRP in Cincinnati came along, so I'd never seen that done... until eight years ago when I began doing weekends on an Oldies station. The guy whose shift preceded mine did that and I could never understand why when everything we needed to see was directly in front of us. How bizarre.

All I could hear was the sound of every engineer's head exploding as he TOUCHES THE MIC.
I think some of them have developed the ability to shoot fire from their eyes.
Please, keep your engineer happy and sane. Don't touch the mic.
Ever.
