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.

A thing rare is a thing cherished, and the music of Willis Earl Beal is rare indeed. The Chicago native has endured many situations and when he opens his mouth to sing, what comes forth is a music tempered in fire and cooled in to deep rivers of the blues. Listen to “Away My Silent Lover” taken from the forthcoming LP Acousmatic Sorcery and you’ll be bowled over and wanting so much more. You can pre-order the album on iTunes. Peace.

]]> According to their website The RainDoggs describe themselves as follows, “The RainDoggs are a collaboration of musicians from Austin TX. Their sound is a mix of R&B/Soul & Blues with a David Lynch movie.” I don’t disagree with their description at all. However, they are so much more too. This Austin, Texas collective of superbly talented musicians refuse to be static or limited on where they can take or interpret a song. Rest assured, when they get together there is no telling where they are going to take you. But, it is exactly that kind of suspense, daring and intrigue which makes the music they conjure up so damn irresistible. Their latest is a ballsy take on Snoop Dogg’s “My Medicine,” and it encases your spinal column in voodoo smoke and arrests your ears with utter surprise. It’s also a case of contradictions, of taking something that by all accounts shouldn’t work, but lo and behold it works just fine. As unlikely as an heroin addict becoming a nun or a hardcore gangsta becoming an environmentalist. Yes, strange and wonderful music is made when The RainDoggs come raining down on you. Peace.

Your curious now for more aren’t you, I suspected as much. There is a fun-house worth of sensual sound right here.

Singing the blues is a serious commitment and by all accounts it looks (and sounds) like the blues and Gary Clark Jr. are in it for the long haul. His new EP Bright Lights is quite the listen, if you have doubts listen to “When My Train Pulls In”. But make sure your ready to be blown away. No bullshit hype here just the facts, just the facts. Peace.
