Song of the Week XXVIII

This week, we have a song coming on delay from Elton John. This song is a little out of his normal musical range, taking a sample of the country genre. The song is Country Comfort, a casual song about the rural lifestyle. The song has a noticeable amount of twangy sound in the background, accompanying the piano in a good harmony. The steady and slow beat comes from the drums, and the guitar was tweaked for the country flavor. The song is admittedly not one of my favorites, but from a legend like Sir Elton John, it is better than many songs out there. This feature should run on time next week.

Sandwich Showdown XXVI

In a delayed post, we pit the Subway Melt on Herbs and Cheese against the limited-time offer BBQ Pulled Pork on Italian. The Melt brought out its normal good flavors on the three meat deal. The bread was above average, complimenting well with the meats. The BBQ was a bit overboard though, making a bit of a mess at time in the non-absorbent sandwich. The rookie Pulled Pork did not bring Hot 'n' Spicy to the table, opting for Subway's new BBQ sauce, a first time feature around here in likely 6-8 years. It is in the Premium division of sandwiches, packed to the brim with meat. The taste was a very good blend, with the sauce being tangy and sweet. The meat was sometimes too much for the bread, and it also had mess potential. As a rookie, it did well, and I'd say the two were a virtual tie for the week. Next week's post hopefully will be more timely. As a side note, my forgetfulness will cancel the Fantasy Baseball All-Stars post for the All-Star week just behind us.
