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.

And may the best band rock!

 
The band Cool Ghouls hail from San Francisco, CA and even though I’m not sure what it means in terms of their ability to rock out, I can tell you this, they’re cool beans! Listen and be impressed as band members Pat Thomas, Ryan Wong, Pat McDonald, and Alex Fleshman make their own brand of Beach Boys-esque meets rockabilly folkish rock and funnel it through a futuristic shaggy-haired aesthetic. The C to the G dropped their beer-stained official self-named debut LP Cool Ghouls recently (April 23rd) and I highly recommend it on vinyl, which you can cop via Empty Cellar Records. Also, you can get a three-song preview of the songs Ballin’, Things I Seen and Natural Life by visiting Bandcamp. Peace.

The music world’s art nouveau equivalent of Handiedan, or dare I say Ted Vasin, is the pop- impresarios Yeasayer. Today internet buzz clearly belonged to the discovery of their song, “Henrietta,” running rampant all over the web. Our man of the hour Sam, over at the most excellent music blog We All Want Someone To Shout For, says the song was recently shipped via CD to fans on the band’s mailing list. Check out  the track see recent tour dates below. Peace.

Nya Abudu, Cici Harrison, Amber Myers and Jessica Numsuwankijkul aren’t much like what one is used to hearing from a rock/alt band. This band of gypsies elevate, but at the same destroy expectations. Theirs is a funky, grungy and psyched-out rocket ride, in short a totally convincing rock deluge; a mix and match affair with shards of light pouring in from a wide range of influences. You may hear swathes of sound reminding you of early Jane’s Addiction, particularly 1988’s Nothing’s Shocking. Also, there are flashes of Seattle-sound, think Sound Garden. There is even some fine needle work reminiscent of Black Francis and his Pixies. But make no mistake these ladies are not copy cats by any means. They are bringing their own brand and stylistic approach to what they envision rock to be, and the results tug at your ears like a heavy-handed anvil of rock-n-rolla. Check out the band’s 7″, which includes the gorgeously badass songs “Ribbons” and “Love’s True Knot” believe me you’ll thank me. However, before running Heliotropes through your speakers you may want to update your insurance policy and get that “ear splitting” coverage you’ll surely be needing. Peace.

Click below and rock out by way of the Cleveland band Mr. Gnome. This duo, comprised of burnt honey voiced guitarist Nicole Barille and drummer-pianist Sam Meister is a force to be reckoned with for damn sure. Check out their track “House of Circles” from their LP Madness in Miniature and get a taste of the grittiness wrought by the badass twosome from the City of Bridges. Want more?
