Lo-Star - Wake Up To Burma
The situation in Burma has been described by the United Nations as a “Crime against humanity”, as its people are treated as nothing by a military dictatorship.

One Missed Call: Hollywood Re-Makes Japan
Formulaic they may be, but the Japanese originals are rightfully rated as substantial films, and the popularity of both J-Horror and the American remakes is undeniable - and self-evident form the increasing list of these psychological horrors.These films tend to have a fairly similar thematic content to each other, too...

BANDIDGE BIRTHDAY: THE FIRST YEAR HIGHLIGHTS
The year that passed between January 22, 2007 and its namesake in 2008 was a manic one for many. It was especially manic for the Bandidge team, who finally made their mark on the world by launching on that very date.

Reinvention. It’s been an obsession of established bands since time began.

Faithless are MySpace's best friends
If you needed any more proof that the Internet has now become not only a professional necessity but also a social necessity, then look no further.
