New use for a pop filter

I just found out that a pop filter can be used as a mic holder in a pinch. Your basic cheap one like this. The gooseneck is the same size screw as a mic holder, so take it off, put on a mic, and clamp it wherever.

Stand by for other amazing discoveries!

yeah, those goosenecks are really useful. i took a little 6" kick mic stand, slapped a five mic holder on there (you know, the T bar) and two goosenecks on the outside positions. it works effin sweet for throwing up two mics on a guitar cab, or a/b-ing things. and people always comment on it because it looks sorta alien. it only fails when you need to put a heavy mic on it, because mine doesn't have a very heavy base.

Goosenecks are also great as percussion scrapers. I did a track with a percussion "loop" of my scraping a gooseneck on the Wurli leg on !, then hitting a mic stand so it rattles on 2 . The bass player thudded the couch with a marimba mallet on 4 and then the drummer hit a brake drum with a drill bit and the & of 4.

Same for those rack space fillers with the holes in them.
