A year ago I started a little personal #Fedi project to every week share #newRelease music + a variety of other tracks from all sorts of eras & genres too.

I called it #BearTracks for my own humour & just to sort of see what I was doing.

It's over 500 tracks now. Lots of good music, quite a bit you might not have heard.

I keep a playlist too, which can be found here:

&:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Cfnw4ZRUGfr86nPRbdJX5?si=553859025f374d23

I hope you might find something new to enjoy.

@ArtBear this is awesome! back in the day on two different (now defunct) social networks, i had something like that i did too. i had a couple hundred tracks, and that took me awhile (and i got compliments). but 500? hats off, artbear! heading off to yt to follow it. as i work my way thru over the next few months, i’ll share the ones that grab me here and @ you too. 🌸✌️❤️🎤🎧🎸🎹🎺🥁

ArtBear,

@iquaanyin
Thank you! That's cool, I hope you find plenty of new you enjoy 😀

🎶 The Youtube playlist is set with latest entry first so it will have new stuff at the top.

🎵 The Spotify version of the playlist is first entries first, so it's chronological run from oldest up to now.

Possibly you can adjust the sorting yourself, depending on app/site options.

@ArtBear or…wait.,.did it let me? i don’t actually know what the little plus on youtube did. it added something. the whole list? or just the song that is up? (first song). i don’t like youtube as much as spotify except for sharing, which is faster and easier. anyway, gotta do other stuff. excited to have cool music to go thru little by little! ❤️

ArtBear,

@iquaanyin
Should be adding the whole playlist. Might depend on app/browser etc for how. 😀

Could try this link too.

Dolly Parton just dropped like a 30 track album, there's a few new songs, loads of collabs/duets ranging from Sting+ Every Breath You Take to using classic recordings from Lynyrd Skynyrd for Free Bird.

It's 1990, and a gateway single to the Madchester scene for a lot of people was this track. I might still recall the code to the jukebox I'd play it on.

Norman Cook did a remix-lite little tidy around on the track in 2003 that mostly just punched up the production a little.

#NewRelease #NewMusic from the 2nd album that's coming from Tropic Vibration. They fuse a lot of styles, plenty to enjoy in their tracks.

This time around they've added to their signature funky upbeat blend of reggae, atmospheric EDM/Dubstep elements & (spanish) guitar with pan pipes too.

I enjoy their Future Roots album btw, maybe check it out if this is your groove.

It's rare & special to like an album as much after 30years as the first day you heard it. It now holds some additional layers of the times I've played it, and events in my life.

holgervogt,

@ArtBear Thanks for the tip. Great stuff. 🤗

ArtBear,

@holgervogt
You're very welcome 😀

ArtBear,

When I joined the a year ago, I almost immediately started to look for of bands I like

I found most had no entries at all. So I thought I'll share a few tracks, each week & tag them fully. New releases & good stuff people are maybe less aware of. It'll build over time

I thought I'd done 500, turns out I just passed 600

Maybe it's stupid & pointless but I like to think that when other new people arrive, if they search a hashtag for a band maybe they find something & stay

ZoraSaidSo,

@ArtBear

I love how he shares the uncertainty and vulnerability relating to love, yet appreciation and optimism, also. I think of when Yoko Ono said, "Love is when you can relax with another unguarded, finally." Appreciation reduces complexities and the pair grow together, as well as, individually (preventing stagnancy). Some make it there and I bet it's sublime! To me, this song dances on these points with a gorgeous, oceanic view. I hope he reaches his destination ❤️🤞

ArtBear,

@ZoraSaidSo
Oh, beautifully put! Stick figure's stuff really touches me, especially this song.

bostinradio,
