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 disco ball is so bright and alive when Little Boots struts her musical stuff. Chessy but true.
Victoria Christina Hesketh better known professionally as Little Boots quietly released a new single. The A-Side the tantalizing and disco-sprinkled “Superstitious Heart,” and the flip side contains the track “Whatever Sets You Free“. Both are groove worthy and a great addition to any playlist designed to chill the hours away. Production credits go to Maya Jane Coles, James Ford and Baunz and the release also contains a couple of remixes. Word on the streets is Ms. LB is gearing up for a new album release in March. Peace.

Do you hear that? It’s the music speaking softly to the confines of your heart.
What better way to appreciate all that is simple and good in life than by sitting beside the warm beautiful music of Jesse Boykins III. We’re chillin’ today and taking it all in and letting it all go. Inhaling the positive and exhaling the negative. “The Perfect Blues,” throws off solar flares and oh how it warms the soul. The track is the fruit of the combined effort of Jesse Boykins III and MeLo-X and is taken from their ‘Zulu Guru‘ LP (November 2012) release. This wonderful 15-track creation is available via iTunes for your immediate enjoyment. Also, if you crave more of the good stuff you can get Chris Turner‘s FREE DOWNLOAD of ‘LOVElife Is A Challenge‘. Believe me you’re going to want this! It’s a 17-track slow burner featuring Jesse, Boykins III, as well as other similar artists who’ll get you reacquainted with your sacral chakra. Not to mention, this collection of tender songs pairs well with a nice bottle of red wine and a warm body next to yours, capiche? Peace.

New material from the Gothenburg, Sweden-based Junip is always reason to get up out of your seat and shout heavenward. 2013 is off to a pretty good start when you can listen to José González and company performing their first single release “Line Of Fire“.

Here’s to new songs from a perennial favorite. Peace. Continue reading “junip // line of fire”

A bunch of guys making music resplendent with glossy feel good.
I got much love for the up and coming Bergen, Norway band Young Dreams. The band is lead by the highly creative and very capable composer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Matias Tellez, and since 2010 this group in only gaining more and more fans along the way. They’ve only recently signed to Modular Records and their debut album ‘Between Places‘ is expected to drop March 4th (UK, EU) and March 5th (US). After the jump check their “Fog Of War,” Modular Studio Session. Trust this is great musical fare. Peace. Continue reading “young dreams // fog of war (modular studio session)”
You can’t touch music, but music of Tame Impala can touch you.
If it seems like another bout of déjà vu well you’d be right on target. The Perth, Australia rockers of psychedelica Tame Impala have garnered yet another album of the year from Rolling Stone. Last year the foursome’s debut album ‘Innerspeaker’ won the prestigious award. And if you listen to their 2012 sophomore LP ‘Lonerism‘ there would be little doubt why almost everyone is singing their praises. By the way, Tame Impala are touring soon, so if you want to catch this spectacular band live and in person here’s you chance to say, “I was there when…”. Peace.

“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it; that surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
The born and bred Minneapolis trio Night Moves make a concoction of music which is both sensual and folkish eloquent. Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves offers more than just pretty music. Theirs is a soul-felt blend of all that is good and right in the world. Check out the single “Country Queen,” and fall under a spell. The song is taken from the debut album ‘Colored Emotions‘ Peace. Continue reading “night moves // country queen”
Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to Lapalux.
British producer Stuart Howard is Lapalux. This 25-year old producer proliferates his tracks with a resplendent blend of sonic characteristics: R&B, Hip Hop and House. Yet, it all comes together without sounding overdone or cloying. The end result comes together nicely like the Upper and Lower Nile. His latest single release, “Guuurl” is one of twelve songs from his forthcoming LP ‘Nostalchic‘. Lapalux recently put out a doublet of EPs ‘When Your Gone‘ (02/06/12) and ‘Some Other Time‘ (10/15/12) via Brainfeeder. Peace. Continue reading “lapalux // guuurl”
You can always depend on Poolside to keep it nice and smooth with their brand of electro/soul/disco. This time out the LA-based duo release nearly an hour of chill bespoke tracks on their FREE (as in zero dineros) “Day Mixtape,” to ease into whatever needs to be eased into this weekend. For more be sure to drop in on Poolside’s SoundCloud and ride it out. Peace. Continue reading “poolside // day mixtape”
What life is there, what delight without golden song?
It is nigh impossible not to fall for The Milk Carton Kids. In terms of harmony, delivery, and overall songcraft the Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale duo are unsurpassed. I am inspired by artists who possess the ability to elevate a genre or in the case of TMCK, bust it to pieces. And although it is natural to try to place TMCK into a box and label it Folk, Bluegrass or Southern Rock Pop, etc. But The Milk Carton Kids won’t stay contained, not even close. Listen to their new track “Snake Eyes,” which premiered on Rolling Stone (1/08/13) and it is more than evident these guys far exceed the usefulness of their current band name. Or perhaps it is part of their wonderful duplicity, to put forth an almost juvenile designate, which at first glance conjures immaturity, but in the end offer listeners a thing wholly divergent reality. When you click play, what you get is a slow motion gut-check, a stave through your heart but without all the blood, yet still passion aplenty. These aren’t mere songs, they’re reservoirs of a revelatory depth of character, emotion and beauty. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming debut LP, ‘The Ash and Clay’, and it also serves double-duty as the soundtrack to Gus Van Sant’s latest film, Promised Land. The Milk Carton Kids are a namesake defied kind of deal, and an admonishment to not judge a band by its Saturday morning kids show name. Peace. Continue reading “the milk carton kids // snake eyes”
