  Just discovered Streetlight Manifesto's acoustic side, It's AMAZING.
 

 
The album is the acoustic version of "The Hand that Thieves" by the same group under the name Toh Kay. Their label disallowed the release of the acoustic version, so it ended up being "leaked".
 
Compare, the track "If Only For Memories" From the above album, to THIS one, the "normal version" which I find equally impressive.


 
Nice, thanks!

Going for the over the top stylistic range today:
 

 
All Pigs Must Die-Nothing Violates This Nature-2013-This has got to be the most aggressive album I bought last year. Not to listen to before your morning cup of coffee. Hardcore filtered through metal
 
 

 
Mingus Ah Um [Import]  three of Mingus' albums: 'Mingus Ah Um' ('59) and 'The Clown' ('57), 'Pithecanthropus Erectus' ('56), remastered 2010
 

 John Coltrane : Blue Train, Soultrane, Dakar [Three Original Albums with 2 Bonus Tracks] [Import]

Good choice! Streetlight Manifesto's drama with Victory Records has kept me from buying the non-acoustic version of the album, but I "found" the acoustic version online after members of the band actively encouraged sharing it for free.
 
Do you have a favorite Streetlight Manifesto album?

I really enjoy BOTAR too, I made a point out of not paying for their Non-Acoustic stuff, but in fact buying some merchandise off their website in reparation. I'm almost sure they'd prefer that

I think my favorite album is Everything Goes Numb
 

 
Specifically the track, A Better Place, A Better Time.

  I recently sold 188 records - this was one of the vinyl in the pack that i sold off. I sold it to a friend though who lives down the street. So i still get to hear them all the time. I had a lot of really good records in there. Lots of funk and soul - jazz rock fusion. The one i regret the most is the stuff album. A very rare record. You cant even download it. I might ask for it back. I was listeing to it today through some really nice vintage electro stats ¬ 
 

 
Here is a pick of the rig ¬ Also listened to a lot of Sam Cooke today which sounded amazing on those.

Yes, you really do need to ask for that back. Politely. With an offer of dinner / beer / scotch of their choice.
 
I've never seen a turntable like that. Very interesting.
 
At some level, I really do miss the old technology. But I don't miss buying records over and over again. On the other hand, who knows, in another decade there may yet be some new revolution in recording tech that forces us to re-buy all of this music yet again, hah.
