Cheap Trick: Shower Mic Sponge

Posted by Steph Auteri

 

[$6.99, Insound] 

In a continuation on the theme of me using things that are not microphones as microphones, I am just pleased as punch to find another non-microphone, microphone-shaped item (got all that?). I introduce to you the shower mic sponge. And since everyone sounds better in the shower (it's the acoustics, I think), it's actually a pretty smart idea, besides me ridiculous and all!

    • about the blogger

    Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.
