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.

Twenty One Pilots pretty much occupied the top spot on innumerable playlists this summer, no?

Pablo Nutini will not be denied entry into your heart. And let’s face it this man is destined to settle into the soft tissue of your brain matter like a thorny crucible. So when the needle drops and the song Let Me Down Easy starts to play make sure you have some Cognac (or some other heavy hitting elixir) close at hand to steady your nerves.

The song is lifted from the stellar release Caustic Love album out now via Warner Music. And if by chance your hands aren’t shaking too much by the records end call me on the phone and say thank you. Peace.

Lyrics:

Let me down easy
Though your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

We are broken by others
But we mend ourselves
We take comfort in strangers
But I don’t think it helps
If every fool were a clown
I would be a king and not a clown
Cause love can’t?
Closer than our hands and our feet

But it’s lost on me
Oh oh
It’s lost on me
Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
since you feel that staying is wrong?
There was no sweeter fruit than this
With no taste of bitterness
It was so fresh and sweet before
But I can’t taste it anymore

I was like a man with no candy?
I had everything
But as long as?

Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
Your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

On a better day
we’d be waiting on our corner
Selling dreams of redemption
But this time you’ve gone your way
So I’ll go mine
Out of sight, out of love, out of time

Your love for me is wrong
Let me down easy
Your love for me is gone
Let me down easy
Since you feel that staying is wrong?

Let me down easy

The love below is the video for the track Klapp Klapp taken from Nabuma Rubberband out now courtesy of Seven Four Entertainment. I have also included the Pretty Girls (Lil Silva Remix) and it just makes an already sexy song even more seductive. Peace.

Mimicking Birds opens up a main vein and let’s the essence of audible offerings out. We’re thankful as Sunday parishioners for the track Bloodlines. This song is of such character it’ll manage subtle slights of hand and leaves you wanting to visit often to unravel it’s tricks. But there aren’t any charades here, the music just surrounds you in feelings seldom unleashed. The track Owl Hoots is a flourish of breath stealing vapor and I am enamored like a certain Montague sweet on a beauteous Capulet.

Check out the band’s Eon album out now via Glacial Pace Records. Currently, the band is on tour with Modest Mouse and mayhap you can catch ’em. Peace.

It’s official, I got a girl crush. Kitten is the band. Chloe Chaidez is the object of my affection. I got it bad ya’ll. Yeah, I know and I am just as surprised too. Let’s get this straight. I am not some floosy easily enamored by a demi-rock Pop-goddess with the stage presence of a modern day Madge Ciccone (but with prettier and softer edges than M. Sorry Ms. Material Girl). At first brush Kitten is Madonna, Taylor Dane and Cyndi Lauper-ish, but with extra sprinkles and sweeter glitter. Yet, her sound isn’t as simplistic as it seems. There exists depths of influence and elements with deep roots from the late 60’s and 70’s. A heavy dose of the bands stemming from the British Invasion. Along with a spattering of divergent elements as well. I musn’t forget her supporting cast. Guitarist Andy Miller and bassist Chris Vogel bring the goods and then some. Kitten is purely hard candy-Pop with an independent spirit. It’s at times a funkier, more often than not a post-punkier scope and orchestration. She’s like a jawbreaker or an all-day Day-Glo sucker. Kitten’s self-titled debut album is an alt sort of Pop too, which doesn’t don primary colors. No, hers is an ultraviolet and star splashed fluorescent patina. Yes, I have a genuine and unapologetic girl crush indeed.
 
Backstory. When? April 14, 2013. Where? The Loft. Lansing, Michigan. Kitten was opening for the Joy Formidable and as fate would have it her and I where in a dingy bathroom washing our hands, side by side. Her. A rising star. Me. An adoring fan. The entire time I wanted to let her know, I in fact knew exactly who I sharing this grungy, graffitied bathroom sink with. Instead, I told her how much I really liked her shorts (Yes, I actually went all fangirl brain dead, but do you blame me?). Seconds later we went on our separate ways. She. To her dressing room. Me. I joined the throng of people waiting for the show to start. Even then I knew, for girls we know. We know how love at first sight feels. It’s a lasso constricting the heart, and when I had air enough to breath all I could utter was, “I really like your shorts…”

Present day. When? July 1, 2014. Where? The Shelter. Detroit, Michigan. Kitten is currently on their first headlining tour. From the very first notes I watched as Kitten’s (Chloe Chaidez) took to the stage and transformed the otherwise nondescript surroundings into her own personal space.  Instantly, I was transported back to a dingy bathroom a year ago, we were close again. Close, because when Chloe performs the music has a way of stripping away the distance and enveloping listeners in her aura and pulling you in.
 

 
Chloe isn’t quite 20-years old yet, but she holds her own.  Her Shelter set was flawless, moving from one song to the next seamlessly. At one point she took up the drums and beat them like some wild primal princess. Talk about SEX-SY! I watched too her rock star antics, as she climbed to the rafters. So badass. Chloe is something to behold and she without a doubt knows what she is doing. Being on stage, she’s in her element much like some mythical Valkyrie/Siren hybrid wielding her power of seduction with little effort.  And when she launched in my fav song, Cut It Out, she killed me ever so softly.  Right through the heart. SPEECHLESS!

There is an actualization which takes place here, Chloe has been honing her musical craftwomanship since she was a preteen. It is more than evident she’s not only talented, but she’s a natural. Her music, on record or during a live set, does not show signs of the awkwardness, indirection, immaturity, or lack of self-confidence you’d expect from someone her age. At 19 Chloe knows what she’s about, and it’s beyond beautiful.
 
After the show (with the song Why I Wait floating in my  heart) Chloe hung out at the merch table graciously thanking fans. I stopped by and picked up the newly released self-titled Kitten album (which is awesome and has a very airy, 80’s pop feel to it). After plying her with kind words she signed the things I purchased, and then we took a selfie together. #awesome #imhuggingchloe #fangirlingsohard

Like I said earlier, it is one thing to listen to an artist’s music on a pre-recorded mp3, cd, etc., but quite another thing to see, hear and interact with someone like Kitten live. It does something to a girl and immediately my emotions got invested for the long haul.  The band name Kitten is a bit of a misnomer though, because kittens are docile and cute. This brand of Kitten is anything but, Chloe is fierce and tenacious. Kitten forever! Corny I know, but whatevs. Crushes are like that. Corny. Silly. And at times totally unrealistic. But still they feel good.

So, this is how fans are made. I am not quite groupie status yet, but damn I could be. Who knows what the future holds?
 
 
Get with it, or go without. Don’t regret it.
