How do you embed YouTube videos in posts? Can’t seem to get that tag to work…
Not really a fan of Macklemore and i’m from Seattle…Ryan Lewis makes some dope tracks though.
I listening to mellow one to relax my mind on doing it.
How do you embed YouTube videos in posts?
Go the the Youtube URL…
Take the alpha-numeric code after the " = " (highlighted in red) and paste it between [youtub-]QK8mJJJvaes[/youtub-] - brackets. Disregard everything after the alpha-numerics [ … &feature=player_embedded] I left out the final “e” so it would display correctly

Gotten into JJ Grey & Mofro lately. Funky sound. Don’t know how to explain it other tha aewsome!
And Modern Man was remiss to not have included anything by Klaus Schultze and Conrad Schnitzler. What was Modern Man thinking?!?!
Im going to second JJ Grey & Mofro. They have a down and dirty southern sound that is perfect to sit back and enjoy. Ive been jammin to them a lot since the new album came out.
New Daft Punk. Can’t escape it all summer, and I don’t mind a bit.
Listening to man Mountain, post-rock, instrumental band from Monroe, Michigan. I also did the cover
- enjoy
I listen to music the same way Philippe Starck does (I tried it out and I love it). I just create a huge playlist with only my favorite songs, and that’s all I listen to all day every day, like one big ritual. Sometimes I’ll discover something new and I’ll add a few songs, but I’m very very selective. It cuts down the time I spend searching for new music. At the moment it’s an enormously eclectic mix, a lot of uptempo a la Daft Punk/Faithless/Jamiroquai/Fatboy Slim/Zuco103, some jazz, and a lot of calm, meditative music from india, deva premal, Air, Scandinavian music.
… that’s all I listen to all day every day, like one big ritual. Sometimes I’ll discover something new and I’ll add a few songs, but I’m very very selective.
Which begs the question, "How do you discover something new, if you’re listening to the same thing all day?
Something I’ve started doing a lot lately is listening to the original scores to films and video games. Video game soundtracks especially seem to be designed to give you something interesting to listen to without being distracting.
Here are some examples:
Steven Price
Andrew Hale
Bill Elm
Jesper Kyd
I also have to pitch my favorite productivity-increasing album of all time, Massive Attack’s Mezzanine
I listen to funk / electronic / indie, whether on the radio (Fm4 in Austria) or through websites like:
Le Tournedisque // http://www.letournedisque.com/home
RedBull Music Academy // http://www.rbmaradio.com/
Boiler Room // http://boilerroom.tv/
The artist usually are Daft Punk (Discover, Homework and Human after all), French Kiwi Juice, Nicolas Jaar, Darkside, Kartell, Cezaire, Flume and Digitalism. I also like to dig into 50s and 60s jazz or soul. Usually something that puts you in a good mood and proactive.
This was last week going on and on while skething
