Song of the week XXXI and XXXII
Week 31: We have another hit from the band with likely the best timing, Augustana. This week, they bring in their song Feel Fine, an up-tempo but relaxing song. It comes from their first album, around the middle of the track listing. The theme is to relax and enjoy a good time. It is decent lyrically and an all-around good song.
Week 32: Classic rock band Queen provides the hit for this week. The song featured is One Vision. This song is in the same vein as a handful of other 80s World Peace themed songs. The idea in this tune is to have everyone come together and see eye to eye about the world. The song's intro has a warped kind of sound to it, but it evens out to a catchy guitar rift throughout the song, and a consistent rhythm.
Also, as a plug I'd like to make here, there is a game called Audiosurf that you can get online, and it is an absolutely fabulous game. The graphics are very crisp, but not high energy so it can function on older computers as well as new. The game's soundtrack is the music you own (DRM-free files only), which makes it fully customizable. There is a variety of different ways to play, depending on which character you choose, and three general difficulty levels. I've had it for two days and it's already been very addicting. Check it out.

Sandwich Showdown 29 and 30
Week 29: Subway Club on Wheat vs. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki on Italian. The Club had a very good variety of tastes throughout the sandwich. It utilized the Subway and KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce combination. The SOCT was also a strong taste, albeit minus sweet onion sauce. Peco's and the Subway BBQ sauces neutralized the sweet/spicy reading very handily. The SOCT edged out a narrow win.
Week 30: Spicy Italian on Garlic vs. Oven Roasted Chicken on Herbs and Cheese. The Spicy Italian came out well, holding on with just KC Masterpiece in the sauce. The bread was very good and complimented the sandwich well. At the ballpark, the Chicken didn't appear to have much of a chance. It featured Subway BBQ alone, and was a victim of a long gap from acquisition and consumption. Easy win for the Spicy Italian.
