AUKTYON
Beverage: Full Sail amber ale
The payoff: You're right--vodka would've been far
more appropriate for these freak-rockin' Russkies. But Full
Sail's warm glow was heavy enough to march alongside
Auktyon's staccato rhythms, yet light enough to bounce with
the band's poppier swing. Regardless, as the reed player
squealed out liquid-rubber runs on a variety of saxophones
and the drummer drilled out machine-gun rat-a-tat fills,
anything would've tasted good. Simple rule of thumb: Unique
music requires no added input of the liquid sort. Rating: A
