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.

Something about a slinky cat-eyed bass-line that makes me want to get lost in the groove. Trevor And Ever pumps heavy-lidded bass lines into your veins via music so much more effective than a spike ever could. The beats permeate your pores and rush into the chambers of your heart so seductively and before you realize it, you’re hooked! Their Backyard Funk EP was released in 2010 and it still packs quite a wallop. Also, Check out the track “Take Time (Tear It Down)”, it’s a banger. As a bonus, for all of you Michael Jackson fans (closet and non-closeted alike) I’ve included the track “I’ll Be There“ off of their 2011 EP release New Gradience. Over and out. Peace. Continue reading “trevor and ever | back yard funk”
I like duos, maybe because I’m a minimalist at heart. More than likely though I think duos have to be pretty fuckin’ talented to get so much out of so little. That said, I offer you Army Girls and their debut Close To The Bone EP (Blocks Recording Club). Toronto is a veritable hot bed of talent and Carmen Elle and fellow band mate Andy Smith are a living testament of this. Army Girls clearly demonstrate how much a duo can rock. I’ll keep this short and oh so sweet. This EP is a keeper. Peace.
Alright already, I know so many of you look forward to Fridays just because the mood around here at Mitten Mouth Music is a danceable one. I understand completely. I’m here to help Fridays feel a little more special by serving piping hot upbeat and effervescent music. Yeah, I said ‘effervescent’. First up is Born Gold, in their latest permutation these guys are casting a sinister ghostly pall of skittery Electro-Pop just in time for Halloween. Although the name is new, you many be familiar with previous monikers. Does Neon or Gobble Gobble ring a bell? Name change notwithstanding your body won’t be able to tell the difference. Because if what your seeking is music to groove to then go ahead and click play already. Born Gold‘s debut LP Bodysongs dropped September 20th, so its available immediately. Peep this, you can even name your price, just head over to Crash Symbols and do the damn thang. Check out the whole enchilada below. Peace.
These guys weren’t even on my radar until my cuz Quinci tapped my shoulder. Just goes to show your ears can’t be everywhere all the time. But really that is the spirit of Mitten Mouth Music. Sharing. ‘Cause sharing is caring. But on the real, the best suggestions in my opinion are from the people who know you best. Ok, let’s talk about Cherub. This is the last sound you’d expect to hear coming out of Nashville, TN home of the Grand Old Opry.
But Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber have built quite the hipster Frankenstein of sound below the Mason-Dixon Line. This is 100% pure future hi-octane soul music. The Man of the Hour EP will bathe your brain in a purple haze and give you the munchies for a warm body next to yours. Regardless of the inevitable Passion Pit and MGMT references these guys are on some next level shit. Cherub is mining the Electro-Funkadelic-Prince Roger Nelson-Neo-Soul vibe.
And boy have hit the mother-lode. With songs like “Love You Right”, “Disco Inferno”, “Goodbye Winter“ and the seductive closing title track “Man of theHour”Cherub is clearly on the some lover boy thematics. The duo known as Cherub are beyond cool. They’ve transcended way up into the stratosphere where tarnished angels wear wicked grins and smoke blunts of unadulterated rainbows. So, take off your cool and cozy up to Cherub. Listen and download the EP below. Peace. Continue reading “cherub // man of the hour lp”
Aren’t you a great person? I think so, and since you’ve been so awesome as of late you should reward yourself with something nice. Boston indie-pop quintet The Hush Now have a new album dropping September 27th and I think it would make the perfect gift for someone like you. First, give it a listen below, just to see if it’s a good fit. This album is unique in that it is a one size fits all sort of LP. How clever of them, right? I meant to post this review this past weekend but because I have a selfish side I hoarded it. But after a bit of soul searching I thought better of it, and so here it is. Finally. Check out Memos and I think the both of you will get along just fine. Peace.
P.S. I love the opera bit towards the ending of the song “Hoping & Waiting”, how cool is that?
Spending time with the new LP from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is like spending time with someone comfortable and familiar. Listening to their album Hysterical is a journey, from the hyper-sugar high that is “Maniac”, to the more sedate and soulful fare of “Misspent Youth”. Regardless, this is a very tactile album, definitely something you can sink you ears into for many moons to come. No waiting for this one because its already out. Peace.
Under normal circumstances I’m not one for surprises. However, like with most things in life there are those rare exceptions. JustinVernor of Bon Iver is without a doubt an incredibly talented craftsman. What he does with chords and lyrics is nothing less than stellar. So, can his song craft get any better? Apparently so. Just when I thought he couldn’t take it to another level Mr. Vernon pulls a rabbit out of his hat. On his latest album Bon Iver, Bon Iver the album closes with the song “Beth/Rest”. Now, even if you think the song is a bit grandiose it’s still a great song. Now, the surprise. Justin Vernon has taken this song and stripped it down to its bare bones, and what is left is pretty damn good, and that’s an understatement. Some people categorize Beth/Rest as a love song. Yes, it is a love song albeit a broken or a strained love song, and something wholly different too. It is almost a gospel musing with its naked spirituality, replete with declarations of something akin to a soulful throwing down of the gauntlet and taking a stance and confronting a thing head-on.
When Justin sings:
all the news at the door
such a revelry
well, it’s hocked inside
of everything you said to me
it was found what we orphaned
didn’t mention it would serve us picked
well your love is known
I’m standing up on it
aren’t we married?!
I ain’t living in the dark no more
it’s not a promise,
I’m just gonna call it…
This is the punch in the gut, it is a wake-up call. Whatever happened has come to the light of day. They either suffer and wrestle through it, or call it quits.
The song is now raw and intense and I can’t stop listening to it. Peace.
The duo Houses is the result, like many things in life, of chance and uncontrollable change. Like the old adage about how when life throws lemons your way you make … um, music. Maybe that’s not how it really goes, but for Dexter Tortoriell and Megan Messina it definitely went something like the aforementioned. The track “Soak It Up” is like listening to the soft coupling of noises so pleasing, yet not easily defined, they enable you to shed whatever weight is tying you down. Kinda like the sound of a waterfall, a tumbling surf, or the soft soughing of the wind rustling leafy branches to and fro. Yeah, something utterly natural and soothing. I think I’ll have another listen and ease down into Houses baptismal of tranquility. Also, “Like” Houses on Facebook for band updates.
I heard about Alexander from a friend of mine several months ago. And although his music is new to me at first listen I was immediately hooked. I am not versed in music speak per se, so I can’t give you the technical aspects of why this music is so great. The only thing I will offer in my defense is I like what I like. In addition, there isn’t too many songs that appeal to me with whistling and horns in them. With the exception of the band Beirut (horns that is), but the track Truth made my summer playlist simply because it is good. Peace.
The Drums have been one of those bands that literally came out of nowhere like a bolt out of the blue. Since their debut in ’09 the band has garnered a trove of fans world wide. This go round there has been a few changes: guitarist Adam Kessler has exited the band, drummer Connor Hanwick now wields the guitar, and former guitarist Jacob Graham is tickling synthesizers. But don’t be alarmed, everything’s in its right place. The former Floridians sound better than ever, no joke. With the release of their sophomore album Portamento, the band embraces a more synth heavy sound. Yet still remain true (I’ve heard it) to the nuts and bolts of what drew fans to them in the first place. I love the track “Money” (it should be the official broke person’s theme song). Portamento drops tomorrow (today in the UK, DRATS!), and like any die hard fan I’ve already pre-ordered it on iTunes (Bonus track version of course). At this writing I am waiting like a kid on Christmas Eve, no joke. Peace.
