anyone have one? or have a service manual of any kind for this unit? i've got one in my rack for a few years and have recently discovered that it doesn't want to power up. it worked perfectly fine years ago and now when i switch on the power switch, i just get a series of beeps until i turn it back ...

sent $ your way.

frankly if someone told me they were doing "shoegaze" anything I wouldn't be interested, but I do really dig the bands and sounds associated with that name. so now I'm trying to do a sludge-shoegaze project. (or stonegaze as true widow calls it) I'm really happy with what I've got so far http://tyr...

warpaint 'exquisite corpse' EP right now.

have you heard the second disc of the 2 disc version?

Really!? From a recording perspective I think it sounds fantastic, and I dig the dark, bluesy songwriting. The synth-drenched, chaotic nature of 'soundtracks' is great too though. i'm giving this another listen this morning (albeit on my work speakers so, perhaps not the best way to do it with an a...

taking into consideration it remains my favorite of his releases, i'm sure it's worth my picking it up.
