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.

Today I received a copy of the San Francisco/Oakland-based The Mantles’ latest album Long Enough To Leave. I’m giving it two thumbs up. Why? Because it deserves it. I’ve been listening to it’s sparkling low-key 10-track, but brilliantly rendered LP. Song after song possesses a Beach Boy soft à la folkish rock quiality; both modernistic and contemporary. My favorites are powder soft Raspberry Thighs and the feisty Brown Balloon (the later track has a kinda sorta Black Francis/The Pixies vibe). Lead vocalist Michael Olivares delivers each song in his plaintive lovelorn voice, which makes each and every word sound authentically woeful, yet oddly hopeful too

The album Long Enough To Leave drop June 18th via Slumberland Records. If you’ve missed it check the band’s excellent 2009 self-titled debut album (on Siltbreeze) and follow-up EP on Mexican Summer. Peace.

“When all the doubts are crystal clear
Crashing hard into the secret wind.”

Belfast foursome Girls Names are unlike most bands in that they have forged a signature sound which keeps getting better with every release. If you heard the band’s debut LP ‘Dead To Me’ it was a fiery shot across the bow of ears everywhere. Now, with the release of their sophomore album ‘The New Life‘ fast approaching it is evident by the first two tracks, “Hypnotic Regression” and “Pittura Infamante,” that this effort is going get plenty of airplay in 2013 and beyond. By the way, you can Pre-Order ‘The New Life via Tough Love Records. Peace.

Tracklist:
 
1. Portrait
2. Pittura Infamante
3. Drawing Lines
4. Hypnotic Regression
5. Occultation
6. A Second Skin
7. The Olympia
8. Notion
9. Projektion
10. The New Life

Whatever you say about Brooklyn-based Frankie Rose one cannot deny her obvious work ethic. Having put in long shifts with both the Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls, and her own band cut from a similar Phil Spector-ish cloth, The Outs. But this time out the departure from her past incarnations is evident, on her latest work “Know Me,” Rose is getting her groove on and leading you to the dance floor. Right away I noticed the clear musical reference ala The Cure (that back-beat is surely “Close To Me), yet still what really draws me in is the voice of Frankie riding this mysterious dreamscape. The single, Know Me comes from her forthcoming album Interstellar, which is scheduled to drop January 17th via Slumberland Records. Now, I’m wondering whether the rest of her new album is just as danceable, I want my dance card full. Peace.
