The Gear Gods Musician Life Pro Tip #2 is here, and we have a few questions for ya.
Have you ever considered how the so-called other half watches television, with their thoughtless luxuries and frivolous excess? Bastards… Hey, what’s all your expensive musical equipment doing while it’s not serving its (gear) god-given purpose doing expensive musical equipment stuff, anyway? You call yourself a “creative,” but have you ever considered the possibilities of a microphone stand beyond standing up a mic? How it could transform your evident poverty into a blissful entertainment wonderland?
If ceiling-mounted big screens sound like a goddamn fairy tale, and you haven’t got the space and/or cash for a nifty little couch-and-TV entertainment set-up (you don’t—you’re a musician, after all), Gear Gods’ supreme overlord and master bachelor, Trey Xavier, has got you covered.
Whether it’s New Girl or Platoon, stop with the “taco neck,” lying-down-and-watching-a-horizontal-monitor-with-vertical-eyeballs deal. Need some help? Check it out*. We’ve got you covered.

*You can even do it while you sleep**.
**Maybe. Probably not…Nope. That’s impossible.
