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 [...]
EIMIC made it clear to me that there are hardly any 'indie" bands in Moscow. Everything is Made in China (EIMIC) should be be proud that they are one of them, as they represent their country well with a dramatic take on alt rock. The false happiness theme that is so prevalent in new single "Parade", brings to light the darker sides of things in the Russia capital. Layers upon layers are slowly added to build up the chilly tension. This band has made me now fully aware of the Russian music scene. EIMIC [...]
The new year always brings massive periods of reflection for me. Not only do we all start a new chapter, but I have a January birthday, so I'm looking ahead and acknowledging my past simultaneously. I assess where I want to be, areas of life to improve and lessons to keep in my back pocket. I've always been an extremely deep thinker, and music significantly marks and highlights different seasons on my life. Blind I is making some exciting changes this year and it's beginning with revamping the way we approach our compilations. I [...]

All of these films should be readily accessible at you local online video store, or you can get them delivered to your house by online rental products like Blockbuster or Netflix. In any case, you'll be enjoying substantial tales of corruption, hpye, and murder in no time at all. Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) - Adapted [...]
Two-fer of classic 1972 soul LP and its 1973 follow-up The Detroit-based Dramatics first full-length album, Watcha See is Whatcha Get , was also their ticket to the national soul scene. The group had been kicking around in a variety of forms since the mid-60s, but made only light impressions on the charts. They hooked up with Stax in the late '60s, but it wasn't until they returned to Detroit and cut "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get" with producer/songwriter Tony Hester that they really broke through. The single's chugging Latin beat, tight strings [...]

Nookie - Only You - dRamatic & dbAudio 2011 Remix by dRamatic & dbAudio
"Shadows on Behalf" sounds like it was recorded at several points throughout history - at a '60s soul festival, the set of a '70s porno, a pioneering hip-hop sample demonstration from the '80s... it's a wonderful smorgasbord of stylistic periods, to say the least. The best classification for it, and many of The Stepkids' tracks, [...]

dRamatic & dbAudio - Ghetto Streets - UNSIGNED by dRamatic & dbAudio
This duo has been making a bit of noise - deservedly so. Their "Life Console" has been snapped up by Ingredients, and I remember hearing Fabio & Grooverider bigging it up on Radio 1 mooooonths ago, and being intrigued. We speak on that and other things in this DOA feature , which includes a sick mix on the chilled side.
Many years ago my late friend UK Roy Duncan sent me a mix tape. Roy and I exchanged a lot of tapes over the few years we were friends and we'd never include a tracklist because, I guess, we wanted each tape to be a surprise. That was my thought anyway. We'd email a list a few days after the tape was received. Sadly the last tape he sent me was shortly before he passed away so I never got a list for that one. The nice thing is that he knew he didn't have long and [...]
![Now On: All You Ever Knew [Music Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2774901_lg.jpg)
French animation artist Cedric Berthier heard Now On's song "All You Ever Knew" from their classic album Tomorrow Already and was instantly inspired to create this video. The trio, which includes Mayer Hawthorne along with IX Lives (son of Larry "Squirrel" Demps of the legendary Dramatics) and Jackson Perry, dropped Tomorrow Already in 2008 just before Mayer's debut.

A new track by the name of "Dramatic" by none other than pop princess Britney Spears has leaked all over the internet. It's not know if it is going to be included in her new album or f it's just an extra track from this session or others. But, it's fun Britney and it has potential. Click here to investigate further .

Ok, forse siamo stati un pò cattivelli a pubblicare questa foto in concomitanza dell'uscita di una canzone inedita registrata da Britney Spears durante la "Blackout" era... è solo che calzava a pennello col suo titolo ovvero "Dramatic", no? Ad ogni modo, ironie a parte, cosa dire su questo nuovo pezzo (ve lo presentiamo dopo il salto)? Irritante! L'emulare in tono drammatico la parola "dramatic" risulta essere davvero patetico. Sembra che lei stessa stia scherzando quasi come se si stesse divertendo a prendersi gioco di un bambino facendo la parte del "mooostro". Per fortuna il [...]
A little later in the month than previously, here are some of the music people who died in March (since then, of course, Malcolm McLaren has joined the great recording studio in the sky). The Grim Reaper took two notable frontmen from us, Alex Chilton and Mark Linkous, as well as the blues singer Marva Wright (whose version of I Will Survive is as glorious as Gloria's) and grievously underrated folky Lesley Duncan (featured here with one of the few songs Elton John ever covered). Most bizarre was the death of Serbian pop star Ksenjica Pajcin, who apparently was shot [...]
