Some People Are Made of Plastic, Some People Are Made of Wood

Some People Are Made of Plastic, Some People Are Made of Wood The Dramatics Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get The Dramatics were another workhorse R&B outfit from Detroit that spanned a couple of decades, making a couple of chart appearances, including this great slinky example of 70's soul from 1971 that hit #1 and sold a cool million. Their first studio album was released after a string of singles, and has a laid-back vocal style heavy on harmonizing, similar to the Temptations, but not without its own charms. The group didn't boast a voice with the [...]

"REPENT!" — A BOY ATTRACTIONS MIXTAPE

"REPENT!" — A BOY ATTRACTIONS MIXTAPE As I'm sure you're all aware, tomorrow marks the dawning of the Rapture (6 P.M. Eastern Standard Time), in which believers will be whisked off to eternal salvation while the earth's tainted masses (see: atheists, mimes, music bloggers) will be sentenced to 5 months of pestilence, famine, and other vaguely unfavorable things. Because you'll need a kickin' rad soundtrack to spin while the locusts devour you whole, we've assembled Repent! , a mix of 17 songs steeped in that sweet End Times Flavor™. Enjoy, and pick up a t-shirt while you're at it. [...]

Covered with Soul Vol. 5

Covered with Soul Vol. 5 The fifth instalment in the Covered With Soul series departs from the custom of the previous four which featured mostly covers of non-soul originals. This mix consists of soul covers of soul songs. One would imagine that soul covers of soul songs would be more frequent than those of non-soul tracks in the genre's repertoire of the late 1960s and '70s, but I've found that this is not necessarily so, at least not as far as reasonably well-known tracks are concerned, and if one ignores the Motown custom of its roster all recording the same songs.

top song obsessions for 2009

top song obsessions for 2009 I couldn't get a few songs by the Tallest Man on Earth out of my head in 2009 I'm not going to make a best-of 2009 list (thought I did post one other best of 2009 list ). I have about 2/3 of the year covered well but the rest of the year's releases I haven't covered as well. I still listen to music obsessively, though and so I can make this list without fear of inadequate preparation. As always with song obsessions, I don't really choose the songs, they choose me. I wish I [...]

Showmanship > Swag…

Showmanship > Swag… Respect to David D.'s phenomenal female fitness regimen , but I just watched the best infomercial ever. Flipping through the tube, PBS's relentless effort to save themselves sucked me into a never-ending plea to buy Motown Memories , a $200 5-DVD set of forgotten footage from the most renown record label ever. Despite the rather-buy-an-ounce-of-goods price tag, it was actually pretty sweet. Instead of the typical over-the-top infomercial antics of QVC and them, the supreme Mary Wilson was chilaxing in Studio 1 on West Grand Boulevard, reminiscing on the good [...]

song obsession friday! (for the week ending May 14)

Song obsessions are those songs that we listen to on repeat. I noticed that my obsessions are often a week long. I also thought that other people might have similar obsessions. I've collected a panel of a few like-minded individuals and gotten their "song obsessions of the week." Quite often it's easy to explain why the song is good; it's much hard to explain why we're obsessed. Maybe you'll become obsessed with one of these. - Adrian ( me ): David Ruffin - Anything You Ask For [...]

From The Closet: The Temptations

From The Closet: The Temptations We know everyone here is familiar with The Temptations but we couldn't resist throwing one of their tracks your way for our From the Closet this week. The track we're jamming is "(I Know) I'm Losing You" which was originally released in 1966 during the height of the groups success. Take note of the remarkable vocals from the band's most famous lead singer David Ruffin who sometimes doesn't get the respect he obviously deserves. Catch a video of The Temptations performing this song live along with The Supremes and you'll see what [...]
