The anatomy of equipment: simple hacks with Money Mark
http://news.wbfo.org/post/anatomy-equipment-simple-hacks-money-mark#stream/0

....If you ask Mark Ramos Nishita, or Money Mark, about his work with the Beastie Boys, you might end up hearing more about minutiae of writing a song than say, what it's like to be part of a multi-platinum group. He remembers the marginalia of the Check Your Head album, released in 1992, specifically: "There was a time when we were building the studio in Atwater village at the same time as we were recording. They were playing basketball in the other room. I was screwing a screw into the wall and it made this incredibly amazing sound. And [Adam] Yauch came in and was like, 'We should just record that.'"....

Did he just disclose the 'variety mic' secret? or am I mixing things up?

Okay, yeah, I thought you were referring to the quote above but yeah, sounds like he just dropped one on us.

Ok, so the variety mic is an actual mic by Sony. I thought they made that up.
Would've made a nice BB promo video IMO...

Yeah, they've been pretty cryptic about the whole distorted Mic thing though. I want to say they talked about the variety mic some in the audio commentaries to the remasters but there was aways this question out there about whether there was more to it.
