/* Plugin Name: Distrify Embed Plugin URI: http://support.distrify.com/customer/portal/articles/264106-how-do-i-embed-on-a-wordpress-blog- Description: Extends WordPress's Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

The Weeknd always manages to come into the ring swingin’ and his latest “Can’t Feel My Face” is a knockout. Coming off the recent success of “Earned It” from the Fifty Shades of Grey Soundtrack we’ve hardly had time to catch our breath. But I suspect that is just the way Mr. Tesfaye likes it. Peace.

Last month, Poliça unveiled the graphic NABIL-directed video for Tiff. Along with the clip, the band released the cover art and track release for their forthcoming LP, Shulamith. Today, the band have announced an October 22nd date for the album, and offered up a re-envisioned version of Tiff, helmed by Drake-collaborator and producer behind The Weeknd, Doc McKinney.
Listen to the track after the jump, and head over to thisispolica.com for Shulamith cover art and album lyrics. Peace.

The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) drops 2 new songs, both from his forthcoming sophomore album Kissland. Both tracks follow his signature drug-infused-party noir misogyny. It’s all good. Check out the title track Kissland and John Carpenter . Let me know what you think. Peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // kissland”
The Weeknd is a crooner par excellence and his track (and video) are no exception. If you are a fan of Mr. Abel Tesfaye, well, the song “Twenty-Eight,” has everything you’ve come to expect from this Toronto native. It is soulful, sexy and ringed by vocals that will send shivers across her erogenous zones (hey, less work for you right?). By the way this video is a bit explicit so handle your business and show some discretion. Peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // twenty-eight (explicit = nsfw)”
the weeknd drops a new song, “enemy” from his ‘trilogy’ release, it is one of three new songs which accompany the debut release. stay tuned for new remixes. peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // enemy”
The Weeknd has been building tremendous hype for the past couple of years. So naturally there is a great deal of anticipation for his debut trilogy album. Unfortunately, the minus is his debut release contains material we’ve already heard on his previous mixtapes. The positive, is the songs are remastered for this release. Yeah,it’s a small thing. but the big plus is the addition of three new songs, “Twenty Eight”, “Valerie” and “Till Dawn (Here Comes The Sun)”. You can cop the trilogy via itunes. peace. Continue reading “the weeknd // wicked games”
for me the adoration of ms. ellie goulding started with her delicate voice as it sung earlier, and memorable tunes such as, “under the sheets” and the acoustic laden ode “wish i stayed”. but more recently, with her remake of the weeknd’s “high for this” i was smitten all over again. so it is with great anticipation i await the release of her forthcoming sophomore album ‘halcyon’. the album drops october 8th but you can pre-order it via itunes. peace. Continue reading “ellie goulding // anything could happen (submerse remix)”
Oh this works so well. Before I heard this I never imagined anyone doing justice to a The Weeknd cover, but I am here to tell you this Ellie Goulding cover of “High For This” is on point! Oh this is just so sexy in all the right places. Peace Continue reading “ellie goulding // high for this (the weeknd cover)”
Manchester, UK dj/producer Star Slinger puts his mystic hands all over this Drake featuring his homie The Weeknd track “Crew Love”. And it is just right for what you need it for; to grind up close and the make most of certain chemical reactions (alcohol, bomb ass music and raging hormones). Peace. Continue reading “Drake Ft. The Weeknd // Crew Love (Star Slinger’s Jersey Refix)”
