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.

I reviewed the Italy-based band A Classic Education back in November and their latest release Call It Blazing is an album you’ll want to play over and over again, no lie. Now, the band has released a video for the song “Baby, It’s Fine” and it is a sweet bit of black and white cinema for an equally sweet song. Thanks for watching. Peace.

]]> It’s not so easy to take an old format and make it fresh and invigorating again. But that is exactly what A Classic Education has done, and has been doing since the band formed in 2007. If the music feels like something you’d expect to hear from the 1950s or 60s it isn’t by mistake, it’s by design. Check out the video below for the song “Gone To Sea”. Right off the bat is doesn’t sound like anything else you’ve heard lately from this era. The guitar is subdued and mellow, the drum-work sounds like Dennis Wilson (of Beach Boys fame) is working the sticks effortlessly. Then there is the vocals  of singer/songwriter Jonathon Clancy, which coincidentally sound almost identical to that of Jim McGuinn of the Byrds. Yet, it all comes together nicely and works big time. I’ve also included the song “Forever Boy”, which is one of my favorites. Give them a listen and I think you’ll enjoy this octet  from Italy. Their debut LP Call It Blazing is out now. Peace.
