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 five members of the band, Adam Rasmussen, Chris Lynch, Dusty Ineman, Levi Hayden and Shane McKillop, left their hometown and base of sunny Santa Barbara to record with Tim Goldsworthy (Cut Copy, DFA Records, Hercules & Love Affair) at Key Club, a converted locksmith’s building in Benton Harbor, MI. Ripped out of their usual environment into a cold midwestern locale, the band finds a new voice on Dunes. The band brings their catchy rhythms and bold synth lines from previous records but continues developing a richer sound now experimenting with unique gear including Sly Stone‘s custom-built Flickinger recording console and direction from Goldsworthy. Their album Dunes is out now courtesy of Secretly Canadian. Peace.

You’ve likely noticed (if you have a history here) that I’ve reviewed several songs by Poliça and here is yet another reason for me to continue my on-going admiration for this great Minnesota band.

Dropping August 14th, Mom + Pop Music will reissue Poliça‘s recently released debut album Give You The Ghost. SPIN.com described the Ryan Olson and Jim Eno produced band’s sound as “tough, R&B-bent, live wire electronica that doubles as Auto-Tune delight.”

In Addition, Poliça (Channy Leaneagh, Chris Bierden, Drew Christopherson and Ben Ivascu) will also release The Dark Star EP with reinterpretations of tracks by the likes of Exitmusic, Aluxe and others. Good stuff. Here, “The Maker,” the impressive production duo Gardens & Villa have worked their collective magic for the Dark Star Remix EP. I can’t wait to here the rest of the EP. Peace.

Do you want something funky and whimsical in your life to turn up the corners of your mouth? I hope you’re like me, because I can always use any and every excuse to smile my most infectious smile. Santa Barbara’s futuristic hippie-ish band Gardens & Villa have what it takes to plaster a permanent grin all over your good looking mug. Their sound is a complex mix of clam bakes, wooded forest trails and interstellar space travel all wrapped up with the glowing psychedelic rainbow bow of Chris Lynch‘s voice. It’s a party for sure, albeit a laid back and dreamy soiree. I just visited their bandcamp and grabbed a bit of their magic for myself. And I must say, thus far it’s the most satisfying purchase of the day. Peace.

-Space Time- Lyrics

You found no reason to abandon the monastic life

I found a lover who will always elevate my mind

when she speaks of space and time

she is always at the nick of time

You found me lying in the grove where the serpents like

– Hide quoted text –

I asked if I could make it with the one with the angel eyes

when she speaks she tells no lie

and she’s always at the nick of time

space time

realize I am the sculptor 

the one who brings the bodies to life

I have searched for a victim for a hundred thousand miles

and I’ll carve her in the stone of lime

to the rhythm of space and time

space time

we’ll be cast in the river

where the starlight shivers
