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.

sheep, dog & wolf | glare | breathe

Sheep, Dog & Wolf (namely Daniel McBride) is one of those introspective lads who manage to maintain both an air of brillinacy and a sense of inventive and communicative higher-conscious musicianship. Yes, that’s doin’ a lot, but he does it to fine affect. I also want to add, that I am both dissappointed that I am just now discovreing him for the first, and I point an accusing finger at you for not pulling my shirt tail sooner. But faux accusations aside the two gems I have posted after the jump are a study in tonal perfection and eloquent composition. In short, a polyrhytmic delight bar none. The tracks Glare and Breathe were lifted from the SD&W’s debut offering Egospect out now courtesy of Lil’ Chief Records. And alas there is video too. Check out the THUNDERLIPS directed visuals and just BREATHE already. Peace.

Sheep, Dog & Wolf, Breathe: Lyrics

I just want to be
Out of this box already
Somewhere I can breathe.

But can – i really leave?
Everything that’s dear to me
To find what might not be?

I
Know there must be more.
Walking down this darkened hall
Holes pitting the floor.

Have
I chosen the right door?
Now that I’ve decided can
I even make the walk?

Am I able
Everything I need?
Misgivings and worries.

I just want to be
Out of this box already
Somewhere I can breathe.

But can – i really leave?
Everything that’s dear to me
To find what might not be?

in the rough and tumble world of today nothing says appreciation like a tribute album (hey, who doesn’t want to feel pretty and special?) so, a whole passel of folks with good intentions got together to honor the new zealand band the eversons (it was a tough job, but dammit someone had to do it). on this release you’ll hear various artists, i.e., princess chelsea, the boa constrictors, street chant and a few others do their best to do justice to the most excellent songwriting of the eversons. oh yeah, i’m talking about the ‘with a little help from my friends’ ep and it’s a free download. my favorite of the lot is the somber ode, “why can’t you just be happy for me?”. check it out the everson’s on lil’chief records. also, since we’re on the subject, the eversons debut album ‘summer feeling‘ is out now for your rapacious musical consumption. i had a listen and i must say its pretty damn good stuff. peace.

When checking out the cutesy song The Cigarette Duet by Princes Chelsea that’s gone viral on Youtube, some words of caution. Don’t make the mistake of expecting the rest of the songs featured on her debut album ‘Lil Golden Book as being equally didactic. Although it may appear Ms. Chelsea Nikkel has a thing against societies double-trouble legal vices; cigarettes and booze (listen to Too Fast To Live as well) it’s all good though. But don’t worry Princess C. isn’t all about composing quirky moralistic pop odes. No, she likes to have fun just like everybody else. I swear. If you’re looking for something that is witty and filled with, in some cases, maudlin dream-mare, then Princess Chelsea is the one for you. And if you like visions of Alice In Wonderland gone all Gothic, and I do, then you like her just fine. I love her song, “Yulia” which is delivered with clipped no-nonsense enunciation, and the video for the song only lends further to her off kilter style and adroit observations. For more, visit her SoundCloud for gems like “Caution Repetitive” and “Goodnight Little Robot Child” as well as several other songs from Princess Chelsea, our pop royalty debutante from Auckland, New Zealand. Peace.

More cool stuff from almost down under. It’s a good thing I cast my musical net far and wide in order to catch wind of this Auckland, New Zealand band. The Cool Rainbows are everything you might expect from a band with such a, well, cool name. The band is headed by lead singer Djeisan Suskov, and the song, “Southern Summer Sun,” is the first release from their forthcoming debut album Whale Rocket via the Lil Chief Records. I got the video to the song below and it’s a very laid back and chilled out sort of deal. Plus, it sounds like everything you can imagine a song titled Southern Summer Sun would sound like; all shimmery and a bit tropical. Right now its available for a pay-as-you-like download. So after you’re finished soaking up the good vibes and sun worshiping the sounds, go cop this track for later use. By the way don’t forget your sunscreen. Peace.
