Hard-Core Gear Porn Friday!!!

I don’t know whether to thank Dave Copeland for sending me such an obvious Hard Core Gear Porn link, or chastise him for looking at such a travesty in the first place. This studio, which belongs to contemporary Christian musician Tom Gross is as middle-of-the-road boring as a studio can be. It’s really quite sad, and an excellent example of how bad things can get when a musician doesn’t do drugs, drink, or smoke.

I mean, hey, whatever gets you through the day, and an ASCAP check for play on CCM stations spends the same as one for play on MTV’s The Real World, I guess. But I’ve never seen a studio with so much stuff in it I didn’t want. It’s really quite amazing. This is like the keyboard section of a store that specializes in band instruments. (You know the ones I mean, when you’re playing in LaCross, Wisconsin, and your drummer is on his last pair of sticks, and you find a store that has Vic Firth 2B, but they’re like $7.00 a pair, but the place is right across the street from the club, so what are you gonna do? Yeah, that place. You know the one I’m talking about.)

So, seriously, if you know this guy, go over to his house and put out a cigarette on his carpet. Or something. This is just out of hand. He’s managed to assemble a complete studio of _bad_ Roland gear. It’s weird, because Roland has put out so much good stuff, it’s hard to avoid. But this guy figured out a way. And TWO MACKIE BOARDS!!! Fuck. It’s like pissing in the wind. It really is.
