This past Saturday it was raining like the Dickens here in the City of New York, and finding myself confined to the Train Station I set out to find some songs to complement the mood. Armed with only my laptop and a little helping of melancholy I decided it was going to be an all acoustic afternoon and quickly found myself taking in the soothing soundwaves of Bootsy’s Pop Goes Acoustic post. Needing more songs to fill out my playlist, I took to the mean streets of Hype Machine to satisfy my acoustic appetite and found a bevy of stripped down songs ripe for the taking. Of course I wanted to share this mini treasure trove with all you fine citizens of Muffinland – so rain or shine, just kick back and get your acoustic on…

B-B-Bonus jam! This song is super old, but acoustic versions of electronic songs sound so good when done right. Enjoy…

Is that really Michael Angelakos on the Passion Pit song???
I think so – it’s supposedly from some live set he did for Minneapolis Public Radio
Your right the Basement Jaxx track is amazing.
Phoenix are so awesome!
holy you made my night!!
I have been hooked on Passion Pit since hearing about them on Audio Muffin. Keep up the great work!
