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 wonderment of spontaneity and serendipitous findings are rife with both good and bad stuff, but the good stuff prevails.”

So, I’m tweeting, as I am want to do. All pliant and dextrous fingers doing what the brain bids then. Eyes taking it all in, searching fervently for a cool bit of cool to share. I am determined and in the end a very lucky “sum bitch”.
 
The absolute synergy of the act of tweeting yields this:

Apparently, some obvious cool and anonymous somebody @ Far Out Magazine starts following The Earology Dept, as they most certainly should. And as proper Twitter etiquette (and plain good manners) dictate I naturally “Follow back”.

Now, here comes the good and fluky part. My curious fingers hustle me over to Far Out Magazine. I pleased as spiked punch because FAM covers music, and well I like music (understatement). Not only do these fine Brits do music thing, but alas they do it very well, or so my ears inform moi.

Back story. My ears are happiest when given the chance to discover and taste new music. And whilst sampling from the FOM aural buffet these faithful ears on mine chanced upon the track Blue Velvet by the London-based band Childhood. The band of four dropped their Lacuna album recently courtesy of Marathon Artists. Although the song Blue Velvet was my initial brush I am currently crushing hard on their sensuous track Falls Away (check it out below, down further… oh yesss that’s it… right there!).

There’s more. So I am thinking to myself. “Self. You’re a smart self and wouldn’t it be cool if you checked out Childhood’s Facebook fan page?” When the I that is me aligns with the self which is also me, then self does it’s best work. Over at Childhood’s FB page the fine gents had on display for all the free world to see (the Chinese citizenry are so missing out) the track by Fell by newbie Rosa Brooks. Instant loveship!
 

 
So, all in all, a pretty good day. Peace.
