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.

Sjaak Kassies has this project called The Fiber and it keeps him busy. His latest release is the single, “Away With Words” and it is a melancholy piece of music shrouded in setting suns and thunder storms. It is a song best served with the lights dim and one’s heart heavy and introspective. The Fiber is building stone by stone, song by song an impressive body of work. Hopefully, we’ll see a complete album in the near future because every time a new song drops I immediately want more, much more. Peace.


 
Lyrics:
it’s a way with words
that make me think
weighing me down
away with words
wear me out
cut me in

I will reach down
away with words
stone by stone

away with words
away with my account
away with my accord
here at rest with you
I’d love not to think

I will reach down
away with words
stone by stone
the nine of swords
and the five of clubs unfold
unreadable words
I will reach down

I will reach down
away with words
stone by stone
believe peace found
in a in a reach out
I will never
time here alone
to write unreadable words

I will reach down
away with words
stone by stone.

I just found a total heart breaker of an album, and a clear shoe-in for one of the best albums of 2012.  You’re apt to return to this collection of songs like the migratory geese revisiting the north lands of one’s thawing heart. And if the songs, “Night” and “Carousel” aren’t evidence enough of the band’s resounding beauty and tender trap fragility, then I implore you to warm your ethereal soul over the smoldering coals of the whole album. Lead vocalist Asher Lack delivers lyrics like the steady fall of spring rain; slowly eroding your heart to pieces. And then there is the soft crooning of Rebecca Rossi providing those soft delicate undercurrents of moody poetry. This is a band whose music ebbs and flows like small gifts of illuminating moonlight, but at times the music swells into orchestral waves of shattered sunspots leaving your breath caught in a net of forlorn beauty, oh how it captivates. You can gain this bit of gold and magic at Amazon and likewise on iTunes. Peace.

The Fiber is Sjaak Kassies. I am familiar with his wonderful vocal work with the band Obsidian, and he is known to provide vox for one of my favorite projects Space Flakes. However, he stands pretty good on his own two feet plucking gorgeously on his acoustic guitar and singing his heart out. After the jump, check out his latest single release “Lead” and it is a right fine piece of work. Peace.




 

 
“Lead” Lyrics

Shrouded in fear
See through the heavy cloth
Keep tearing a whole
The same ground that is no more
We question the same lies
And just let it be
A truce will be met
You’ll get what I’ll get

Lead the way
Don’t leave and chase
Greed and haste
Don’t go

I stand before you
Scattered all over the common ground
I will not surrender
Keep trying and wanting to fail

Lead the way
Don’t leave and chase
Greed and haste
Don’t go.

Jackson Phillips, Kevin Friedman, and Tyler Cratcha met in Boston at Berklee College of Music and it’s been on and poppin’ every since. We’re in an age, where any talented DIY musician can have access to the tools to create high-quality music from almost anywhere, and that’s a good thing. The trio known as Carousel is the perfect example of talent + creativity + determination = songs to tuck inside your heart of hearts and dance across the Milkyway. Check out their latest release “Know It’s Right” and you’ll be smitten. I also have their totally nitrous oxide-esque song “Thrill” and you’ll pinch yourself at the luck your having today, musically speaking that is. You’re gonna want to visit the bands SoundCloud for more good stuff. Oh, and I can’t leave you without an apt descriptor. The music of Carousel is like the best burger you ever had, but with a thick slice of cotton candy resting atop the tangy pickles. From these guys we’re expecting a meteoric rise! Enjoy and as always. Peace.
