FLYING DOG BREWERY - WOODY CREEK BELGIAN STYLE WHITE  Smell consists of wheat, banana, orange, and some spices. Nice smell. Taste has lots of wheat upfront with some hints of the orange and banana, but they are pretty hidden. Not as much going on in the taste as the smell for me. Its a nice crisp tasting beer and goes down pretty easily but just seems to be lacking a little something in the taste department. Not bad, and if the flavor stood out a little more it would be a lot better.

RUSTED ROOT - CRUEL SUN  This is their self released debut album. Many of these songs would later show up on their major label debut, When I Woke, a few years later. Their music is kind of hard to describe, most of the time i see it as "world" music. I am not even sure what that means. To me they are just a rock band that has lots of different flavors, very unique though. They blend rock with anything you can think of and produce a sound that is their own. Strong drum and percussion section that draws alot from African rhythms with mainly acoustic guitar. Great music, great lyrics, their music just pulls you in and their live shows are amazing, a must see. This is just one of those records that are fun to crank up and listen to. Favorites:  Primal Scream, Send Me In My Way, Cat Turned Blue,  Martyr, Back To The Earth, and Scattered.
