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.

Los Angeles-based Swimm (Chris Hess and Adam Winn) release their 6-track Beverly Hells EP via 24 West Records. This isn’t just another tidy release, these are a pocketful of songs of an ebullient vibrancy, and a few all aglow with a lustrous meditative quality (me thinks the tracks All The Time and Suddenly a thoughtful nods to introspection). Good music and a couple of good guys. Psst! My all time favorite Swimm track is Shy, just thought you would like to know. Perfectly perfect! Peace.

Gallant is a product of Los Ang and imagine there is much more to this young lion that the LA experience. He’s done nothing less than slipping our ears a bit of tongue on his steady rise to fame and fortune. And in case you missed his previous Talking In Your Sleep, well now can. Make sure you keep your eyes and ears open for this one ’cause he ain’t playing, no not at all. Peace.
 

 
Artist: Gallant
Track: Open Up
Lyrics:
 
if im drowning wont you take me to the waterfall?
lay stones in front of those banks
and keep me underwater til im breathing
throw me in the fire til im frozen
teach me til i dont know what im doing

why dont we open up sometime?
sell me that gold in your veins
i want your fortress next to mine
every nightmare on your plate
can i trust that you wont mind
my sanity slipping away?
why dont we open up?

if youre thirsty, let me lead you to the maranjab–
plant trees in spite of those rays
and leave you in the sun until youre soaking
throw you in the fire til youre frozen
teach you til you dont know what you do

lets be the last ones

Los Angeles is known for just about every form of musical entertainment, so it’s no surprise to see Private Island rise to the top of the best bands The City of Angels has to offer. The band’s A Good Look EP is a handy collection of four songs, and they’re a good indication that this band will have a future taking up residence in my earhole. After the jump, check out the audios for the tracks Bear Hands, Don’t Call Me, and Dissolve. Here’s to a full-length from this outfit. Peace.

Private Island, Bear Hands: Lyrics
 
Oh I’m not sure
I never see you on that avalanche
I know it’s written in the fire along with all the other things
They dragged you far to foreign lands
Away from my open hands

Oh I never let you down
I never see you around here
So what the fuck do you want, besides sucking my blood
Just to taste the real, just to feel you’re real

I’m not sure your words are covered in analogies
I wish you’d spell it out so I don’t have to play the fool
What did you find yourself in foreign lands
That sounds like bullshit I understand

Oh I never let you down
I never see you around here
So what the fuck do you want besides sucking my blood
Just to taste the real, just to feel you’re real

Oh I never let you down
I never see you around here
So what the fuck do you want besides sucking my blood
Just to taste the real, just to feel you’re real

The band Warpaint is a Los Angeles based quartet comprised of Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bass/vocals), Theresa Wayman (guitar/vocals), and Stella Mozgawa (drums). To say that this follow-up is “highly anticipated” is an understatement considering the reception that their debut received when it was released at the end of 2010.

Warpaint was recorded and mixed by Flood, aside from two songs that were mixed by Nigel Godrich (Radiohead, Atoms For Peace). The album was conceived after some truly inspirational writing and recording sessions that took place in The Joshua Tree late last year. The band was joined there by visionary director Chris Cunningham, who has partnered with them for many of the album visuals including the cover. He spent two years filming and photographing the band as they made new music.

Warpaint is a well-oiled machine. They weave intricate guitar lines, hypnotic vocals and driving post punk rhythms into gorgeous, sprawling songs that skirt the line between psychedelia and intimacy. Both live and on record, Warpaint sound like they’re channeling something truly otherworldly, and mystical. They are also a band that truly enjoys playing together. Emily and Theresa have been friends since they were kids, and the bond that the four of them have is truly special. Peace.

Ground control to Major Tom we have Taiwo Heard. Copy?

 

taiwo heard  //  frontier to eternity ep

 

Taiwo Heard may have been born and raised in Washington, D.C. but his musical influences are anything but local. So, if you’re in the mood for rock-grunge-ish meets electronica then listen as you glisten to Taiwo Heard’s debut Frontier To Eternity EP. The end result is a mix bag of  musical influences, i.e. classic rock, R&B, Soul, etc. Mr. Heard music sounds homogenous, but only partly so, it lacks the cloying and redundancy commercialism. Yet, the music occupies the realm of the familiar and the innovative, simultaneously. Basically, it’s fresh like the heliosphere blowing through the young lungs of a burgeoning solar system.

In 2005 Heard graduated from the impeccable Berklee College of Music, shortly thereafter the move was made to Los Angeles. Long story short, Taiwo Heard joined forces with long-time friend Eddie Robinson and formed the electro-pop band, Swivel. In addition to performing and providing the vocals, Mr. Heard wrote and produced the band’s debut album, Landing. However, this union didn’t last long, the group disbanded a few years later.

But the damage had already been done, through his previous experiences Taiwo Heard gained a ton of exposure via the blogosphere, the music press in general, and a legion of fans the world over. If you were fortunate enough to catch Swivel at any of the countless domestic and international festival tour dates, then count yourself lucky indeed.

Right now you can get a FREE DOWNLOAD of the Frontier To Eternity EP via Noisetrade, although it would only be prudent and just plain nice to drop a little sumpin’ sumpin’ in the kitty. Peace.
