ABITA BREWING COMPANY - LEMON WHEAT  This was a limited offering from Abita this summer. Aroma is pretty much all lemons with a hint of wheat, nice smell. Taste is the exact same, lots of lemons, but not much else, not real complex. While there is absolutly nothing remarkable about this beer, i actually really liked it. Refreshing and easy to drink, it wasnt real hard to polish off the 6 pack on this hot day. Perfect summertime beer.

ROGER CLYNE & THE PEACEMAKERS - TURBO OCHO   The concept behind this album was amazing. It was done as a vivacast, kind of a reality show recording/experiment. They set up studio in a house in Mexico with the goal to create and share, from inspiration to final product, 8 songs in 8 days and broadcasted it over the internet. (how many bands are willing to take on a project like that?)  I remember following along online. This CD/DVD chronicles that event. Considering the time constraints, and the final product, simply amazing. This contains those 8 songs and 3 others available for the first time on CD. Probably not my favorite of their albums (so many good ones), but considering the time this was done in, good stuff. Favorites: State Of The Art, Summer Number 39, Mercy, I Do, Persephone, and Mercy.
