If the Cambridge, U.K., duette Commix (Guy rope Brewer and George Levings) don't sound like the average junglist act, it credibly has something to do with their for the nigh part techno influences. The drum-n-bass do quote Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, and Carl Craig as some of the principal reasons they began making music. Originally formed with third gear member Conrad Whittle, Commix made their debut in 2003 with the single "Feel Something" released by Blue Sonix's pronounce Aquasonic. Over the long time Whittle would resign the radical, their techno influence would began to evince more a great plow, and they would release more 12"s for the likes of Hospital, Good Looking Records, and Doc Scott's 31 Records. When it came time to release their debut album, they gestural with the Metalheadz label and dropped Call to Mind. The album featured a invitee appearance from Steve Spacek and a remix from Underground Resistance added as a obscure bonus rail.

Panic at The Disco - A Stunning Showcase

2008-08-31T18:04:00.001-07:00

Noone finds it �pretty odd� that Panic at the Disco would display such an entertaining record of lights, glamour and an habit-forming upbeat aura that would leave the vast legal age of minor teenyboppers in a spin, wanting more.

So what happens when you squish these fluoro hairy, bubbly eyed, �virgin concert goers� into a arena made for the epical performance that is �Panic at the Disco�? A fever you simply cannot sweat out.

The stage was brought to life first of all by the new crunch core, backbeat fascination that is Cobra Starship. After ripping into their fresh, electric hits with enthusiasm that would snap Challenge Stadium in two, the boys exited on a high, going the crowd wondering, �Where on worldly concern did they came from?�

Less than 40 minutes later, American, punk boys from �The Academy Is..� stormed the stage stunning the audience with innovative hits from their new album �Fast multiplication at Barrington High� and cleaning up the fix with a mixture of old tunes the crowd could echo, or simply wave their glowing phones in the air in pure wonderment of.

With the stadium lights switched back on, it was time for the anxious fans to originate cramming the already packed �panic-pit�. With the stage set up in a colourful, display of flowers and props almost in preparation for a drama show made by year 12 students, the lights dulled and the atmospheric state took an exhilarating turn.

The mood breathed a new air, when the bounce became.. intimately bubbles..."

Casually stepping onto stage like Perth was hometown Las Vegas, Brendan, Ryan, Jon and Spencer took a rut the crowd immediately busted out to. Opening with the showtime song off their second record, they promised the little, disregarded town of Perth �You don�t birth to worry, because we�re still the same lot..� Keeping in rhythm they torus straight into their wireless hit �Nine in the Afternoon�.

After thawing up to the crowd together, the boys swung the flare back into their old loved tunes from �A feverishness you can�t sweat out.� Whilst the handsomely dressed, mature Nevada lads sang quite a few first album hits, it was ordinarily noted that they added their have jazzy eddy to the old rock tunes, departure a little bitter tasting on the turning power point that Panic were taking into their music. However the minor switch from upbeat rock into a more flashy, techno musical style didn�t seem to enervate the sea of jumping, high-pitched fans echoing their lyrics throughout the arena.

Backing up each new song with the likes of old melodies such as �Camisado� and �It�s better if you do�, the crowd were simply thrashing their lips in expectation for what was approaching. The mood breathed a new air, when the bounce became.. well bubbles. The drums kicked, the boys gleamed smiles that made the girls weak and and then during �Behind the Sea� the front half of the arena filled with bubbles that reflected the stage lights in mesmerising colours. The crowd erupted and threw up their hands in unison with the disco that was being executed from the stage.

But there was no time for applause merely yet, Panic at the Disco (now minus the explanation mark) were about to indicate the thousands of fanatics just how far they had come. Ryan addressed the crowd in a promising manner that �I write sins not tragedies� would be performed only under the condition that every individual person would sing at the top of their voice.

And they were non let down.

Every lyric was sung in harmony with the band right down to every emphasis on the end of a line. The boys were left dumb and from the deafening screaming and so were the fans.

Having moved the musical black Maria of thousands... Panic at the disco, even without the exclaiming mark ar still as thrilling and admirable as when they first leapt onto our soundwaves."

After playing nearly every hit off both albums the enlightened mob were left wondering �what more than? What else?� The stage was vacated as the lights shut down pat and the mood was set in place.

Encore�

And what a style to start up it. Brendan appeared guitar in hand. He dog-tired the first few moments sucking in the environment and then politely asked the push if he could sing a song.

�..Time to dance..�

There was not a unruffled body in the bowl. Sung with such admiration to the Perth push and a love for the music he and his fellow band members had created, the standard pressure sent waves of emotion over the entire dome.

Panic at the Disco finished their set much in the fashion they started. With bounce, poise and complete professionalism they over their stunning showcase with �Mad as rabbits�. Before walking sour stage and leaving their fans in complete mental rejection, they chorused the far-famed lines �na na na na, hey-eh goodbye..� and disappeared behind their eccentric backdrop. Having stirred the melodious hearts of thousands and leaving a memory planted within every fan, Panic at the disco, even without the exclamation fall guy are noneffervescent as thrilling and admirable as when they kickoff leapt onto our soundwaves.

Whilst still mold their musical genre; they have tempted the taste buds of many and with plentitude of promise to become even bigger in the musical public eye, they will keep their fans tapping their �toes to the beat.�

Drug dealing was a great tradition in this city.

Video game review: 'Metal Gear Solid 4,' set in 2014, a little bloated

2008-06-28T19:02:00.001-07:00

Is "Metal Gear Solid 4" a game or an experience?

The answer is unclear in the latest instalment of this epic franchise. Both masterful and bloated, "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" (Konami, PlayStation 3) is less about interactivity and more about storytelling. That's slightly unfortunate given how far the gaming medium has come since the first "Metal Gear Solid" was released in 1998.

Combining the concealed movement of "Assassin's Creed" with the gun-fuelled combat of "Call of Duty 4," this tactical espionage game stays true to the series' stealth roots while allowing gamers to use more of a hands-on approach to dealing with foes. However, the sleek gameplay is commandeered by an out-of-control bullet train of a narrative.

Once again, players don some form-fitting armour as chain-smoking mercenary Solid Snake, this time known as Old Snake because he's aging rapidly due to some genetic tinkering. Set in the year 2014, the world economy of Snake's bleak universe is now dependent on foreign armed conflicts more than ever. And that's just the beginning.

With a surge in private military contractors causing havoc around the world and nanotechnology being used mostly for evil, war has changed, and so has Snake. Underneath all that grey hair, he's become bitter and disillusioned, but Old Snake still has a classic mission - his final mission - to complete: Stop his brother from taking over the world.

Snake's globe-trotting quest will find him battling savvy enemies such as nimble military factions and fierce cyborg female supersoldiers. One of the game's most climactic sequences finds Snake on the back of a motorcycle blasting away at enemies along the streets of eastern Europe. Of course, sneaky Snake has tons of technology to aid him along the way.

At a moment's notice, Snake's suit can blend in with any surface while his Solid Eye monocle can be used as radar, night vision or as binoculars. The adorable Metal Gear Mark II robot allows Snake to scout ahead for trouble, jolt enemies from afar, communicate with his techie sidekick Otacon and procure new munitions from an illegal arms dealer named Drebin.

When Snake finds unused weapons on battlefields, they are automatically converted into money that can be used to upgrade, unlock and purchase other armaments. The system is convenient and embellishments like silencers and grenade launchers can pack a noticeable punch, allowing players to become as much or as little of a gunsmith as they desire.

The game's highly detailed cutscenes are usually melodramatic, sometimes funny and always way too long.

Impatient players who skip over the computer-generated cinematics will have no idea - or at least will not appreciate - what's happening in later stages of the game. Worst of all, newcomers are likely to find themselves completely lost in the wordy dialogue and plots folded in from previous "Metal Gear Solid" games.

Despite the bombastic narrative, make no mistake that the graphics and gameplay in "Metal Gear Solid 4" are flawless. Harnessing Old Snake and his new gadgets in exotic locales in the Middle East and South America is utterly fun - something that the rest of "Metal Gear Solid 4" unfortunately lacks. Three out of four stars.

Jolie-Pitt Foundation donates $1 mil to Iraqi kids

2008-06-28T02:41:00.001-07:00

LOS ANGELES —

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's love for children is by no means limited to their own: The couple has donated $1 million to help kids affected by the war in Iraq, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced Wednesday.

The organization will distribute the donation, made through the couple's Jolie-Pitt Foundation, to four organizations working on behalf of children who have lost parents, homes and schools in Iraq. Children in the U.S. who have lost parents in the conflict will also benefit.

"These educational support programs for children of conflict are the best way to help them heal," said Jolie in a written statement from Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which she co-chairs.

"We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations," Pitt added in the statement.

The money will be divided between the Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program, which provides military children with counseling and educational support; Women for Women International, which will provide books, school supplies and other basic necessities to Iraqi women and children; the International Rescue Committee, which will repair three schools and offer classes for more than 2,500 students; and NineMillion.org, which will give school uniforms and learning materials to more than 2,000 displaced Iraqi kids.

Last year, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation gave more than $300,000 to support the International Rescue Committee's relief program for Darfur refugees.

Jolie, who's expecting twins, has said the babies are due in August. She and Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.
