It's been YEARS since I've heard that Dramarama record. It was in rotation when I was a DJ in college, and that's about all I can remember about it. I think that I liked it.

Mavis was exactly what you would expect: rousing, boisterous and a lot of fun. Bob played way too many Sinatra covers. Sounded workmanlike, but not terribly thrilling. Great band that just sounded... like they should. Meh.

The Flavor Channel - Unreleased and Rare A bunch of tracks from the great, underheard 90s Chicago band -- stuff that never made it on to their one proper album. And, honestly, a lot of these songs are better than what did make it on to the record... including "Status Offender" which I had been looking for ever since I lost my copy of the split 7" in a flood so many years ago. So, so great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvThB8_EBig
