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.

Also breaking on This Kid Is A Problem (TKIAP) is the Australian jam-band Hiatus Kaiyote. The group is co-produced by Uche Uchendu and the incomparable Erykah Badu. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia and conjuring up sonic images from a wide variety of influences, R&B, Neo-Soul, Jazz, World Music, etc. Their album, ‘Tawk Tomahawk‘ dropped earlier this year, and to date is hands down definitely one of the most slept-on releases of 2012. Lead vocalist Nai Palm unsheathes a voice so radiantly profound it defies dislike and draws you into her world of musical bliss. Hopefully, this eclectic ensemble with its jazzy overtones and sub-zero vibe will get the exposure and recognition they so richly deserve. After the jump check out a jam session to see them in action, and hear what all the fuss is all about. By the way, you can cop a FREE DOWNLOAD copy of the band’s Tawk Takeout Tawk Tomahawk Remixed via bandcamp. Peace.
Initially coming up through the ranks as drafters of supreme beats Balistiq (Ryan & Andrew) have more than paid their collective dues. The brotherly duo is now perfectly poised to take over heads everywhere. Their mixtape via TKIAP, smokes like supreme Cubano cigars, and puts on display the phenomenal skill set that separates the merely good from the sickly dope. This is exemplar ridin’ music to rattle your trunk and fog up your eardrums with that extra funky. And the fun doesn’t dry on the wall just yet, you can get the whole enchilada as a FREE DOWNLOAD.
Come along for the ride. I know, your parents always admonished you to be weary of strangers donning interstellar headgear, but this is the one exception you should most definitely make. The artist otherwise known as Aimedeuxhaine has released the ‘SOMED EP ‘. This is a 7-track chillwave extravaganza ringed with swirling synths and subterranean beats fit for late night excursions into sub-space. Oh, and by the way IT’S A FREE DOWNLOAD! Just cruise your fingers right on over to the Aimedeuxhaine bandcamp page to get yours. Also, to experience more of what this incredible artist has to offer visit his soundcloud. Peace.

Although I have written extensively regarding the young and super-talented Mr. Frank Ocean, I find myself penning yet another ream of inadequate words in an attempt to describe the magic of yet another gorgeous song titled, ‘Wiseman‘. The official word, is originally the song was supposed to be included in Quentin Tarantino’s deep dirty southern film ‘Django Unchained‘soundtrack. But alas, it didn’t come to pass. It’s ok though, ’cause we still have this beautiful song released out into the world for us all to enjoy. Peace. Continue reading “frank ocean // wiseman”
Lo-fi synth-pop got a fresh new candy-colored coat of shimmering space dust via this 2011 release. And of you’re looking for somebody to blame, then Cosmonaut Grechko is the talented culprit. Dropped over year ago CG’s ‘Alaska 2100’ EP was met with rave reviews and then some. So, just in case you missed it, well here’s your chance to give your ears something magnificent to listen too. You can also cop the release via iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “cosmonaut grechko // singin’ (ft. joywave)”
At times I stumble across amazing and wonderful songs which leave me breathless and I am immediately taken under their wing. There is much comfort in one’s ability to get lost, and found, in the simple uncomplicated beauty of song. These occurrences remind me that life and living is still full of pleasant surprises aplenty. Jade Hopecraft is one such surprise, this young Cornwall, U.K. transplant sings carefully penned odes with a kind of spiritual serenity which enable the listener to suspend all earthly worries. Listen, as her song “Saint,” washes over you. Afterwards, one feels, if not totally redeemed, then at least buoyed. Also, check out the B-Side which offers up the hauntingly beautiful, “Habit,” the Saint single release is available via iTunes and Amazon. Peace. Continue reading “jade hopcraft // saint”
Portland, Oregon-based foursome Parenthetical Girls have composed and released an ethereal, yet beautiful set of Christmas songs. And quite frankly this compilation embodies (and exceeds) all the sonic elegance one has come to expect from Zac Pennington & Co. Currently, their gorgeous song “Rejoice! Rejoice!,” is available for free downland via soundcloud. In addition, I ardently implore all seekers of things precious and beautiful to head over to the band’s bandcamp page to listen to, and purchase the complete 5-song ‘Good Christian Men Rejoice, It’s Parenthetical Girls’ EP. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Peace. Continue reading “parenthetical girls // rejoice! rejoice!”
Although the band Tennis dropped their amazing sophomore album ‘Young & Old’ at the beginning of the year, you still got time to get acquainted with them. After the jump watch the band’s “My Better Self,” video. The album is also available via iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “tennis // my better self”
Simian Ghost has earned a storied place in hearts and minds everywhere with their brand of heartfelt odes. SG’s songs leaves tear stains upon pillows and pepper hope within clasped hands poised in prayer. And if you desire deliverance from the ills of existence or a potent balm of distraction from mundane worries, then the band’s latest, ‘Autumn Slowmo For The Dejected Realist’ fits the bill and then some. After listening to the new 3-song EP there is little wonder why this band has gained such a faithful and adoring following. By the way, the Autumn Slowmo EP is available for free downland until January 1, 2013. Peace. Continue reading “simian ghost // autumn slowmo (for the dejected realist) ep”
Oakland, California-based band Trails and Ways thought it would be a grand idea (and it is) to have all of the songs off their EP remixed by artists they admire and draw inspiration from like all good muses should. The band’s forthcoming remix EP, is set to drop January 8th, 2013. After the jump, check out the “Border Crosser (The Seshen Remix),” and “Nunca (The Highweights Remix).” Peace.
