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.

japanese breakfast | in heaven

 

Japanese Breakfast has an endearing way of making quirky lo-fi dream pop that is often raucous, but at times soft and tender. Case in point the latter, the track In Heaven is soft around the edges like Robert Smith at his melancholy best.

The latest album by Japanese Breakfast, Psychopomp, is nine well-crafted stand alone tracks. Each song emits a positive energy  and boast arrangements right out of an indie band’s wet dream. Good stuff. Peace.

Band: Japanese Breakfast

Album: Psychopomp

Featured Track: In Heaven

iTunes

Bandcamp

 

In Heaven:

The dog’s confused
She just paces around all day
She’s sniffing at your empty room

I’m trying to believe
When I sleep it’s really you
Visiting my dreams
Like they say that angels do

I came here for the long haul
Now I leave here as an empty fucking hole

Oh do you believe in heaven?
Like you believed in me
Oh it could be such heaven
If you believed it was real

Is there something you can do with yourself
As I sift through the debris
While I empty every shelf
And flounder in the muck that I’ll be drowning in so soon
You can’t watch me from the banks then
Turn to say you’re swimming too

Come here for the long haul
Now I leave here just an empty goddamn hole

How do you believe in heaven?
Like you believe in me?
Oh it could be such heaven
If you believed it was real

Futurekids always keep things interesting and fresh picked. I also lovingly appreciate the chill vibe the band emit through low-key sound miracles and surprisingly sentimental ditties. Case in point, the premiere of White Girl In A Wu Tang Shirt offers the quaint and lovey dovey. This track smolders like the embers of a nostalgic campfire ricocheting inside the synapses of fond memory. And although my assertions fall infinitely short of adequate fluffery you’ll appreciate the point.

This is good music plain and simple. The bands forthcoming album This Is Everything drops November 21st 2015. Below you can also check out the short Making of This Is Everything after the jump and get the FREE DOWNLOAD for a limited time, because don’t cha know a good thing doesn’t last forever. Peace.

The Leeds band Alt-J is pretty amazing as is, but when you put a solid track such as Hunger Of The Pine in the very inventive and capable hands of the exceptional producers of The Golden Pony sparks fly. Look at Mr. and Mr. The Golden Pony’s record, for it reads like the successive accomplishments of some very astute mixologists. Yet, to classify Timothy Monkiewicz and Thomas Murphy as simply mixers of music is not telling the whole story. Consider the following lifted from their Facebook fanpage:

The Golden Pony broke onto the scene in mid 2013 with a string of bootleg remixes of popular electronic artists. They have since gathered over 3,000,000 plays on Soundcloud, had four #1 hits on Hype Machine, and have garnered hundreds of positive reviews in the blogosphere. Late 2013 saw the duo gain critical acclaim for releasing there first original and beginning a series of vintage pop track remixes called “Golden Classic’s”. With high energy DJ sets that showcase eclectic costumes and custom LED cowbells, The Golden Pony stands apart as a true musicians who take there productions very seriously, but that’s about it.

Get your FREE DOWNLOAD of the Alt-J Hunger Of The Pine (The Golden Pony Remix) right here, right now. All you have to do is hit the ♥ on the Hype Machine. Sounds pretty simple and straight forward to (I did it and it was painless). Peace.

The band Let’s Buy Happiness didn’t send me a press or media kit asking me to review their songs. No begging for my attention. Why would they? I pen a infinitesimally small music blog way off in a remote quadrant of the Nebula Galaxy. Slight aside I am smitten with the band’s existence, especially the vocals of Ms. Sarah Hall (wrapped around the obvious talent of those bandmates weaving a shroud of beauty around her). Which for lack of a more developed vocabulary I’ll call the obverse antipathy of evanescent (hey, I’m trying here). After dredging the web for more, ’cause gotdamnit I’m an unabashed and voracious consumer and alas my gluttony knows no bounds (middle finger to the other deadly sins as well by the way). After much turmoil and effort I found Works Better On Paper, Fast Fast, Six Wolves, and the No Hot Ashes EP. Yet, not surprisingly my ears go unsated. Sigh. Here’s hoping LBH stop being the sadists they so obviously are and release a full debut LP soon, like yesterday soon. Oh, Ms. Hall you’ve a Feist-y heart. Peace.
