Pretty easy right? Next, go to the Wikipedia and look at the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emo_artistsList of Emo Artists/a - they have a list of 75 or so bands that have been referred to as, or had their music described as emo. Again, that seems to be pretty straightforward. But emo is not so simple. Just take a look at the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_emo_artistsWiki discussion page for the list of emo artists/a - youll find a debate as vigorous and vitriolic as the great emacs vs. vi debate of the 80s, the paper vs. plastic debate of the 90s and the Gervais vs. Carell debate of 00s all put together. p Some excerpts: ul li Emo is chaotic music. Emo is a form of hardcore punk. Emo is closely related to screamo. Pop rock is not. Who started this whole emo thing? Rites of Spring. Neon White, go listen to Rites of Spring. Tell me the difference between them and Panic! At the Disco. They just dont sound anything alike. I like all music, and pop rock, but I have enough sense to know that their is a huge line between emo, and mainstream music. Therefore, Wikipedia itself, is unreliable lihm.... im a bit puzzled here... the article is named list of emo band, yet theres not a single emo band in the entire list.... liMy Chemical Romance is not emo. Alexisonfire is not emo, Fall Out Boy? just posers. Real emo music is emocore emo violence, screamo, emopunk, indie/emorock liall Out Boy May not be emo but they are not possers liTHREE DAYS GRACE not!!!! emo!!! they are POST GRUNGE!!!! li MCR IS NOT EMO /ul p And the discussion just goes on and on. People cant agree what emo is. p emPhoto (CC) by a href=http://flickr.com/photos/patetiiko/Feel the Fever/a./em

As we've seen, a little Atari 2600 is a sure way to liven almost anything -- cakes, candles, landfills -- and it looks like the Xbox 360 is no exception, as none other than Ben Heck has proved with his new so-called 3600 controller. As you might expect, Ben didn't exactly take the expected route to wind up at this creation, instead opting to use the guts of a Guitar Hero 3 controller, which he somehow managed to squeeze into the base of everyone's favorite one-button controller (even leaving room for a guide button and ring of light on the underside). Be sure to hit up the link below for a must-see video of the controller in action and, of course, plenty more pics.

Hi everyone!
Ok, before I begin, I need to give a disclaimer: I truly am blonde when it comes to the iPhone, yellowsnOw, unlocking, jailbreaking, Cydia, versions, etc, etc. I want to buy the phone soon (there's an auction on eBay for a legally unlocked phone ending really soon!) but I don't know which way to go:confused::

-Pay an extra $300 for a legally unlocked phone from Apple - but in this case, I still don't know if the phone will lock up again/get screwed up if I jailbreak it...

-Buy a phone here in TO, locked to Rogers (my provider) then get it unlocked and jailbroken (but then - where? I definetely want to take it to people who know what they're doing!)

-I'm going to be using the phone both here AND in Europe, and anywhere else I travel, so I do want to make sure this is all done properly.

If you guys can give me your advice since you obviously know a ell of a lot more about this all then I do, I will be eternally grateful!

Two wireless interactive microphones. Featuring stylish interactive motion sensors and lights, the microphones respond to singers’ actions and can be used as percussion accompaniments.

The best music. ”Lips” will include a diverse selection of songs, including your favorite blasts from the past such as ”Bust a Move” by Young MC, as well as new songs from breakout artists such as ”Mercy” by Duffy and ”Young Folks” by Peter Bjorn and John.

Constant flow of new music. From the songs that will come with the game, to your own music collection and the ability to download new tracks from Xbox LIVE Marketplace, ”Lips” will continually provide new music to bring people together and keep the party going.
