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.

Alcoholic Faith Mission is a band I first began listening to a few years ago, and I’m always ready to sing, I mean, write their praises. This Danish sextet dropped their dropped their new album Ask Me This back in January and I want you to want it too. And sorry for the short notice but the band is playing at Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids, MI on May 3rd. But alas, you can also cop it on Amazon too. Well, here’s hoping you enjoy this track as much as I do, and I’ll keep you posted as new material becomes available. Peace. Continue reading “Alcoholic Faith Mission / / Into Pieces”
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia the last place (well, maybe not the last place) you’d expect to find such patently provocative soul and potently sexy music, such as Athalia creates. The track “Black Rainbows” is an aptly-titled dark beautiful affair, while “Better Things” is an outright fire starter, or candle burner. I imagine both songs will undoubtedly find their way on many music-to-make-love-to compilations. Whether you’re suspicious or merely curious, just listen, though wait until the smoke clears to thank me. And with production by such notables as Ta-ku, 3LLL, Insightful, Jazzo & Melodiesinfonie, I’m looking forward to what the future holds for this talented artist. By the way, the EP drops May 14th. Peace. Continue reading “Athalia / / Blackrainbows (Our Sunday Best)”
Without a doubt one of my favorite rock duos the Japandroids are back just in the nick of time to ensure that Summer 2012 will have it’s share of all out rockin’ musical fare. Check out what else Japandroids’ Brian King and David Prowse are up to at Polyvinyl Records. Peace. Continue reading “Japandroids / / The House That Heaven Built”
Los Angeles-based band KO KO is just brimming with a vibe that pulls double-duty; it makes you smile and dance at the same time. The bands founders, Ryan Lawhorn and brother Taylor Lawhorn proclaim their music is a product of the perpetual sunny weather found in southern California. The band’s shiny brand new bubble-wrapped melody “Float” just makes you want to skip across the sky and taste the rainbow. I’ve also included a few more tracks taken from the bands three-track single release Float. Peace. Continue reading “KO KO / / Float”
John Jagosis most definitely Brothertiger.And the music, well it speaks for itself. With the release of his latest LP Golden Years out now, Brothertiger is setting himself up nicely for a stellar 2012. Check out the track, “Lovers” and you’ll hear the reason for my heart-on-the sleeve enthusiasm for this Toledo, Ohio native. And if you need further inducement to fall head over heels, listen to BT‘s cover of The Smiths old school classic “Ask” it’ll kiss you right on your sweet spot, Hush! You know where it is. And if you’re thinking Brothertiger is new to the music scene, think again. There is a trove of music just waiting for you undivided attention over at his bandcamp, check it out. Peace. Continue reading “Brothertiger / / Lovers”
I have this to say about the Leeds, UK band Alt-J. Don’t let their debut album An Awesome Wave slip beneath your musical radar for lack of familiarity. You may have heard Alt-J’s totally (but still amazing) out of the box track, “Breezeblocks,” yet this track is only a fragment of a much larger, and conceptually complex puzzle.
Stream the entire album here at www.altjband.com. Available at Amazon and iTunes
Alt – J has so many wonderful things going on it may be difficult to put their sound into words, I’ll do my best. First, there is the unique vocals of lead singer Joe Newman, think one part hip-hop with swirls of some Romanesque bard thrown in for good measure. The music can range from the ardently, and deceptively folkish, to the bubbly sonic shock of punk fornicating with wild abandon with electro. It’s rife with so many genre flourishes and stops, starts and in-betweens. But it is exactly this which makes the band so much fun. Alt-J is simply a wondrous amalgamation of sounds; synths, guitars, and highly imaginative syncopation galore, enough to propel your backbone slipping beyond the furthest reaches of outer space. Yet, the songwriting is tight, imaginative But there is also tender songs of introspection perfect for moments of solemnness. Listen to “Tesselate,” “Matilda,” “Ms.,” and the haunting sweetness of the track, “Bloodflood”. The latter song is like being kissed by countless scalpels and held tight by a million sutures afterwards. And then there is the hidden track, “Hand Made,” I’ll let you discover it on your own.
With the song “Breezelocks” you get a sense of the mysterious and slightly menacing, like a runaway freight train caroming off the tracks. But without a doubt it is so goddamn groovy! And although the song is filled with rolling fog and brilliant day-glo colors, it has just a bit of Nitrous oxide to keep it light, woozy and likeable. In short, it makes for fun and interesting listening. Peace.
