Song of the Week XXVII
This week we have another song from Augustana's most recent album. The song is called On the Other Side. As is a focus on CD, the primary message here is to not waste time with other emotions and just love people. Here, they talk about taking a risk to keep a love alive. The rhythm of the song is rather upbeat for the message underneath. The knowledge of wondering about stuff and then totally getting distracted by a partner is very strong here. The song is very good, certainly up to the standards the band have set previously. This feature runs again next week.

Sandwich Showdown XXV
This week, the showdown features a Turkey and Ham on Garlic and the sandwich of the month, Italian BMT on Herbs and Cheese. The T&H started off with a decent start, incorporating high quality marks throughout. However, deeper in the sandwich, a new ingredient was used, in the form of mayonnaise. This did not create too much conflict, as it meshed pretty well with the BBQ sauce traditionally found. The July Special fought as hard as it could, bringing in all the great parts and flavors of Italy in the sandwich. The bread here would put it well over the top, showing why it is the sandwich of the month. This will run again next week.
