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.

sorority noise | either way

 
Sorority Noise are solidly east coasters hailing from good old Hartford, Connecticut. And obviously good old Hartford is a pretty good place to stare up an indie rock band. This winsome foursome dedecks their It Kindly Stopped For Me EP with introspective and thoughtful odes to the sour side of living. But it isn’t a bad thing, is it? The rawness and vulnerability of the songs reveal giving fragile hearts and a lovelorn of intimate proportions. Losing someone sucks eggs, but this collection of songs are a bit of catharsis, reached for and obtained, amid a sometimes life of shit. Peace.

hop along | tibetan pop stars

Philadelphia indie garage rockers Hop Along gives us a beyond ample excuse to revisit 2012. It was a quaint little album titled Get Disowned and an even obscurer foursome bearing the appellation Hop Along. Seems unassuming enough, except not. Now all would have been well and fine, and the band may well have enjoyed the small unknown existence some bands woefully aspire to be. You know the whole suffering for one’s art thing. Masochistic yes, but it’s a thing. But there was one damn problem, a foible in the plan christened Frances Quinlan. Damn her. If only she’d kept her lovely soundtracked mouth shut and her seductively warped vocals to her damn self we would have all been better off. But alas she didn’t and we’re not. We’re not because I for one can’t get enough of her rustic rock delivery, which make her beautiful pained lyrics all the more so. And, if we’re honest with ourselves it was very specifically the track Tibetan Pop Stars. It was this song, with it’s acrimonious lyrics and paranormal voiced passion. It undone us. You fuckers. I fell in love with an off kilter and highly sentimental ode to heartbreak and enmity. And so yes, Hop Along’s release Get Disowned is a no-brainer for an apt Throwback Thursday nod, and may I suggest you replay all damn day? Thanks Frances. Psst! I also included Hop Along’s wonderful follow up release, Painted Shut (2015).Peace.

Tibetan Pop Stars: Lyrics

How content are with ones with simple demands? They meet their fiancés cherry picking out in Canada.
While cursing the river, a seven fingered man, his three sleepless wives all equally sick of him.

Honey I left to see some action. What’s with all these swamps? All I’m passing are hospitals and space-camps. Nobody is asking me “What about your other?” If they did I’d tell them you’re a

Stanger in India
I’m gonna be creepin’ on you so hard
You’re seducin’ Tibetan pop stars and
Wreckin’ motor-cars

I know its true. This Is wrong love. Why is everything so expensive? Maybe in two years you can forgive me. I’ll be living kinder. I’ll have found my place as a

Stanger in India
I’m gonna be creepin’ on you so hard
You’re seducin’ Tibetan pop stars and
Wreckin’ motor-cars

A stranger in India. Doing ok so far. I’m just waiting on the feathers and tar. You are the only one. You are.

Nobody deserves you the way that I do.

Come home my stranger in India because waiting on you is too hard. The reason I haven’t written back is because I’m still doing all that bad sh** I was.

My love is average. I obey an average law.

Today a link to the video, “What Makes A Good Man?” by The Heavy appeared in my in-box. I watched the video and I was intrigued by the story of the troubled man who was the central character in the cinematic short. Redemption is a powerful theme amongst our human populace and this video, more so than the song, was an excellent catalyst for it. This is my first brush with The Heavy, and now I am sufficiently curious to see, and hear, what else these guys have to offer. The Heavy’s forthcoming release The Glorious Dead is scheduled to drop in August. Peace.

One of my favorite DYI bands Heartsrevolution have been creating dance inducing (Dance Till Dawn, Switchblade), and oft times politically charged (I.D. (Investigation Discovery) music for quite a while. Ben Pollock and Leyla ‘Lo’ Safai, and long time live performance drummer Terry ‘Prince Terrence’ Campbell, have teased their adoring fans with the promise of a full-length album for what seems like forever. And sorry, I don’t have news of a forthcoming release. However, I remain hopeful the highly anticipated debut Ride Or Die will materialize in 2012. Here’s to hope eternal. Peace.

Case in point, from the opening line, “I got drunk and you got pissed” is bound to ring true in a household or two across countless lands and the Diamond Rugs have the perfect little diddy as chaser to such scenes. Check out this somber Christmas tune “Christmas in a Chinese Restaurant“. It’s a dim lit carol featuring a litany of familiar dour faces: Bryan Dufresne of Six Finger Satellite, Ian Saint Pe of the Black Lips , Hardy Morris of Dead Confederate, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, , and John McCauley and Robbie Crowell of Deer Tick . This one may not spread a great deal of joy,  but alas a good song doesn’t have to be upbeat and smiling to register fondly in your heart of hearts. Peace.
