Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures Bonuscast No. 1

Recently, The Bear And The Sea made an 8tracks mix (now featured on the home page of the 8tracks!) called Retronautilus, described as “[a] mix of refined pleasures [i]nspired by the moonlit, foggy coastline along Highway 101 and beamed straight into the tape deck of your 1981 Ferrari 308.” In response to its warm reception, The Bear decided to expand the mix with additional tracks and samples and turn it into what we’ve coined a Bonuscast — an additional mix thrown in alongside our monthly Listening Pleasures. We hope you dig it. (And be on the lookout for episode 24 curated by IG88 later this week!)

Monthly podcast: Nueva Forma Listening Pleasures

Curated by A Gap Between, Episode 20 is like a long-due vacation, if only a short one. Straight from the horse’s mouth:

This particular episode is a soundtrack for an imaginative getaway from the dregs of stress and heartache. And although I probably can’t break away from my routine anytime soon, I think this mix will certainly allow for a great escape in and of itself. I hope it provides the same escape for you.

Relaunched as new platform for bands

Muxtape.com, a mixtape website that was taken down due to a little problem with the RIAA last August, is now back up and running. This time, it’s a little different and is striving to compete with bigwigs such as MySpace, Facebook and Virb to offer a new platform for artists to promote their music. Since Muxtape.com is currently in private beta, and the creator Justin Ouellette has only invited 12 of his favorite bands to join, there’s limited sights and sounds to explore. However, it’ll be a few more weeks until sign up is open to the public and we’ll have a better idea of what Muxtape has up its sleeve. Mr. Ouellette has announced several features that will be rolled out.
