Frankly, I had no idea what to expect from Anat Cohen's first big band album. But if I'd had any expectations, they'd have easily been surpassed by the time the opening track reached its midway point. Cohen plays clarinet on that selection, and it's easy to understand why music critics have named her one of Down Beat magazine's "rising stars on the instrument. She's not only an intrepid and resourceful clarinetist, but also equally impressive on tenor, alto and soprano saxophones, as she proves elsewhere.

+ Liner Notes
There are moments in an artist's career when things come together in a special way, and Noir is such a moment for Anat Cohen. From the time I first encountered this remarkable musician in 200l I've been delighted and amazed at every hearing, live or recorded, in the many and varied settings that display her gifts. Anat is nothing if not multifaceted, and this fine album presents almost all these facets in the aggregate. (Almost – since no record, no matter how great, can do full justice to a living, breathing, ever-developing creative multi-instrumentalist who will continue to surprise us.)
It brings together two main streams in Anat's musical world, big band jazz and Brazilian music, and it is also a reunion with an old friend, Oded Lev-Ari, who here comes into view as an arranger of great skill and originality. Together in high school in Tel Aviv, they both had classical training – she on clarinet, he on piano – and both discovered jazz about the same time.
"My father loves American music, so I always heard it around the house, records and radio, and I remember listening to Louis Armstrong on my Walk-man," Anat said. "Louis and Ella." (For an old-timer like this writer, there is something wonderful about discovering Louis via Walkman) For Oded, the first conscious jazz encounter was "Ella in Berlin," which he describes as "amazing." The first record he bought was a Keith Jarrett album. Anat and Oded joined forces to purchase their first CD – very expensive for highschoolers – Sonny Rollins' "The Bridge," which they swapped back and forth.
But that was not where Anat's jazz playing began; there was a Dixieland group at the conservatory, and a book of transcribed solos, "Which was good because I had no idea of improvisation." She's going back to those roots now, she comments, with her work in tubaist David Ostwald's group dedicated to the music of Armstrong, and her appearances for the Sidney Bechet Society. It was at a recent Bechet concert, where she performed, among other fine things, an astonishing duet with guitarist Howard Alden on Jelly Roll Morton's "Shreveport Stomp" that George Wein apparently caught her for the first time and pronounced her "incredible." Her first attempts at improvisation, however, came in the conservatory's big band. "I was shy, and for the longest time I wouldn't improvise. But my older brother Yuval was studying jazz and was practicing Charlie Parker solos, and had Music Minus One records, so I would play a melody again and again and again to learn to improvise – it fascinated me."
Both Anat (in the Air Force) and Oded (in the Army) developed further in military big bands, he mainly as a conductor and arranger, she on tenor sax as well as clarinet, and then, in l996, they both embarked for the U.S., Anat on a scholarship to Berklee College, Oded to attend New England Conservatory, where his main teacher was Bob Brookmeyer. "We lived across the hall from each other in Boston; we were eight Israelis there, like on a big Kibbutz." By the turn of the century, they both settled in New York, Oded doing freelance arranging, including an album for the venerable Theodore Bikel, "and all sorts of things." Anat's all sorts of things, too many to mention all, include her stints with Diva, a formidable big band, and with the Choro Ensemble, a quintet in which she is the only non-Brazilian but a perfect fit ("For me, Choro is jazz," she said). She has frequently toured in Brazil, as well as all over Europe and in Japan. She made her debut CD as a leader, the highly praised "Place & Time," in 2005; it features several excellent compositions of her own.
The Anzic Orchestra is no ordinary ensemble but an array of genuine all-stars, distinguished by an unusual combination of instruments. Oded wanted to challenge himself, and he has succeeded in finding his own sounds. "Anat and I have shared many musical moments over the years, and I could not have asked for a more inspiring muse," he told me. "Bringing the arrangements to life with this extraordinary group of musicians was thrilling. This project has been a joy, and I am honored to be a part of it." His settings for Anat always enhance the soloist, creating a gorgeous tapestry of sounds. The textures are fresh and original, and those terms also apply to Anat.
Most young musicians, no matter how gifted, tend to reflect their influences, but Anat has found her own distinctive voice, on all her instruments. She never plays to the gallery; even her high notes are not for show, but part of the musical message. There are not many musicians on today's scene who communicate such genuine joy in what they do; Branford Marsalis recently commented that young musicians lack charisma. Maybe he hasn't heard and seen Anat. She loves to make music, and while she is a physically expressive player, her moves, like her music, are a true reflection of what she feels.
The program of "Noir" unfolds like a Pan-American film score. La Comparsa, a most appropriate opener, was originally a piano piece by the Cuban composer-pianist-bandleader Ernesto Lecuona (1896-1963), who enjoyed considerable success in Europe between the World Wars. Oded sees this piece as a parade coming into view and then passing by, and conjures up a fine Caribbean atmosphere for Anat's supple clarinet. Cellos are in, Anat displays her warm chalumeau register, ensemble swells, beat intensifies, Anat soars, the parade fades away. Can she handle that instrument? You bet!
No Moon At All was popularized, like so many good songs, by Nat King Cole's great trio. Anat's tenor opens a capella, then states the theme over a colorful ensemble carpet, her brother Avishai's crisp trumpet emerging briefly. Guilherme Monteiro's guitar solo is almost a dialog with the ensemble, and then Anat improvises, with that great presence Nat Hentoff pointed out, offering a great bridge and then digging in, her high notes melding with the trumpets. The tension releases, and the tenor returns for a noir finish.
Carnaval De São Vicente was inspired by the Cape Verdean singer Cesaria Evora. "She has a really laid-back way of singing that I'm trying to capture with the clarinet," Anat said. The warm sound of her chalumeau blends with the strings after Robert Burkhart's introduction, and after some transparent ensemble playing we get a lively Brazilian rhythm, brass stabs contrasting with reeds, and Anat's clarinet climbing up over ensemble proddings. Then Avishai solos, with a clear, bright tone, crisp execution, and fluent phrasing. Fine bass work by Barak Mori throughout, and a neat clarinet-strings ending.
Do It is a minor but happy jumper by Johnny Griffin, from a 1997 CD called "Chicago-New York-Paris" that Anat likes a lot. This piece features the Anzic Orchestra saxophone section. "Amazing players!" Anat says. She presents the tune, and then we hear some serpentine Billy Drewes tenor, Ted Nash's bright alto in the same vein, and Scott Robinson handling his baritone with panache (that horn isn't big to Scott, who excels on the contrabass saxophone, among other instruments). Then Anat comes into view, working up to a fine climax, with spots for Ali Jackson Jr.'s swinging drums. Theme returns, and Anat has the final say.
Cry Me A River, says Anat, "is a great clarinet song," a statement she proceeds to prove. One of her strengths is that she knows how to present a melody, like a fine singer (Julie London owned this number, vintage 1955). The first bridge effectively alternates soloist and ensemble, and then Anat tells a story, with dramatic orchestral touches. She masters that instrument, and when she goes into the upper range, the sound never becomes shrill. There's a clarinet cadenza, and don't miss the pretty ending.
Our intercontinental journey now becomes intergalactical with a visit to Sun Ra's realm. You Never Told Me That You Care, a collaboration with the great lead trumpeter Hobart Dotson (also a Mingus favorite) is a pretty ballad that Anat picked up on from James Carter's recording. Anat imbues it with great feeling, fluency and range, always melodic – tenor playing in the grand tradition of Hawkins-Webster-Berry et al., to the inventive cadenza and that beautiful last note. Mature ballad playing is usually a later-in-life achievement, but Anat's got the message.
Luiz Bonfa's Samba De Orfeu was one of the first and biggest Brazilian hits in the U.S., via the great film Black Orpheus (another Noir ingredient), and here it is bracingly wedded to the great traditional jazz standard Struttin' With Some Barbeque, forever identified with the one and only Louis Armstrong. (Introduced by his Hot Five in 1926, with his then wife Lil Hardin on piano, it was claimed by her post-divorce, but clearly bears Louis' stamp. His manager, Joe Glaser, wanted to challenge Lil, but Louis said: "Let her have it. She needs the money more than I do," and it remained a staple in his repertory.) The title, by the way, has nothing to do with food – it means walking proudly with a pretty girl on your arm, according to Louis. "We were playing the Samba one night and before we knew it we sort of drifted into Barbeque, since the melodies are so close," Anat explains. The marriage is a natural one, and things unfold here at a perfect tempo. Anat's on soprano here, and she's become one of my favorites on that horn as well – lovely sound, perfect intonation. Her brother Yuval is also heard on this not-so-easy instrument, and it seems that good sound runs in the Cohen family, since trumpeter Avishai (an increasingly visible presence on the New York scene) is also heard from. It is indeed The 3 Cohens (who also record and perform as an ensemble under the same name) who are the featured soloists in the climactic finale, following a Barbeque setup in which they get assists from Billy Drewes and trombonist Yonatan Voltzok, in a kind of apotheosis of the traditional New Orleans spirit. Before that, we hear a great deal of solo work on the Samba changes, and thanks to Oded, I can give you a complete rundown: Ted Nash (alto), Anat (soprano), Voltzok (trombone), Yuval Cohen (soprano), Billy Drewes (tenor), Avishai Cohen (trumpet). Then, short solos by Billy, Avishai, Billy again, Anat, and Yuval, and then, over the band backdrop, Billy joined by Scott and then Anat. Following are short solos by Anat, Billy, Yuval, Billy and Anat (twice). The ending, as seasoned listeners will know, is taken from the Hot Five original. Fine work throughout from the rhythm section!
Cry comes as a special kick for this listener, who well recalls it as Johnnie Ray's claim to fame in 195l (I happen to like the guy, probably the only hard-of-hearing singer to make it big). Introduced to Anat by a friend, it seemed to require the sound of an alto sax, and thus becomes her debut on that horn, which she handles with aplomb, needless to say getting a fine sound. Strings bring this on, and once again Anat shows her way with a melody. As her playing intensifies, so does the backing, and we build to a great ending – she cries. This is an R&B groove (what R&B used to be), and while I doubt she knows of him, Anat captures some of that Tab Smith ambiance. (Smith was a fine Johnny Hodges-inspired altoman who got himself some hits with Sin and other chestnuts in the 1950s.) Maybe we'll hear some more alto from Anat?
Bebê, by the Brazilian multi-instrumentalist and composer Hermeto Pascoal, who briefly intersected with the U.S. modern jazz scene in the early 1970s, is a song Anat said she's "loved for a long time. I first played it in Boston with my Brazilian bassist friend Leonardo Cioglia." The great Duduka Da Fonseca adds much to the infectious rhythm (Anat can be found on a recent Da Fonseca CD, "Samba Jazz in Black and White," that includes Cioglia as well). Robert Burkhart's cello opens this, in his upper range, and then the dance begins. Anat thrives on this turf, making good use of a repeated phrase with rhythmic shifts, swinging to the hilt, and playing with what sounds to me like great blues feeling when backed by the rhythm players only. Then she makes her tenor shout, going way up with some Gil Evans-tinged voicings behind her. The ending is great, as is the whole performance.
Our journey comes to an end with Ingênuo, one of the more than 600 compositions by the remarkable man known as Pixinguinha (1897-1973), known as the father of Brazilian popular music. His main instrument was the flute, but when he came to Paris with his band in 1922, he discovered jazz and picked up the tenor. (In such trans-continental adventures there are echoes of Anat's musical journeys.) She's often played this piece, vintage 1947 with the Choro Ensemble and also with the New York Pops under the late Skitch Henderson. Erik Friedlander's cello is prominent here as the pretty, nostalgic melody unfolds. At home in the Choro language, Anat improvises fluently – a highlight is the out-of-tempo passage setting clarinet against a lovely ensemble texture. Guitar makes itself felt, and the whole piece is a most effective meld of Choro and large ensemble.
Unlike most Noir films, this wide-ranging musical trip will leave you elated, happy and grateful that such beautiful, life-affirming music can still be made in this world of ours. That we will hear more from our protagonists is certain, and may it be soon!

PUPILS from a Pendle school became stars for the day when they were invited to appear on Blue Peter to show off their badges.
Students at Marsden Community Primary School in Nelson impressed the iconic show's producers after they collected 35 badges.
Headteacher Gemma Whaling said: "Last year, two of our students got Blue Peter badges and we made a big fuss of them in assembly.
"After that, more and more children were coming in saying that they had also got a Blue Peter badge.
"They were given them for all sorts of different reasons, writing stories, writing reviews and I was just really impressed.
"We always encourage them to do things at home with the families and so as a way of motivating them to keep their good work up, I said that if they got to 20 badges before Easter, I would write to the show.
"Well they were absolutely fantastic and we have about 35 badges altogether."
The 27 pupils and teachers travelled together to Media City at Salford Quays, where the classic children's show is filmed and got to appear on the show, talk to presenters and even meet the Blue Peter dog, Iggy.
Presenters Barney Harwood, Lindsey Russell and Radzi Chinyanganya spoke to two sisters, Maleeha and Abeera Abbass, who sparked the campaign to collect as many badges as possible.
They told Lindsey that their mum had always wanted a Blue Peter badge as a child but was not lucky enough to get one and so her daughters took it upon themselves to get some for her.
Barney spoke to Tanisha Akram who said that she got her badge for writing a review of the show and to Anam Riaz who got her badge for writing a story that was inspired by the words of children's author Jacqueline Wilson.
The children appeared on the show on CBBC on Thursday with Miss Bibby, their teacher who still has her own Blue Peter badges from her childhood in the 1960s.
Mrs Whaling said: "It was a lovely sunny day and we all had a fantastic time.
"Everything about the show was kept top secret until we got there so the children had no idea that Union J would be performing live.
"They were stood at the side of the stage while Union J were singing and it was just incredibly exciting and incredibly special for them."

In and endless effort to defend and support modern-day punk rock, I have encountered waves and waves of close-minded individuals who think that punk is still and always will be The Sex Pistols and The Dead Kennedys (two great bands by the way), but punk HAS matured into some great positive sounds, I don't think anyone would argue the importance of The Clash, but in this day and age punk rock has taken a hit in the mainstream, with bands like Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, and I heard someone the other day say that Nickleback was their favorite punk band (and I'm sorry, Nickleback is terrible, and nowhere near what punk rock represents).
Also, since this is the AoM, I can tell you that the bands I post here are amazing for young men to look up to as pioneers of rock & roll and manliness, without all the bud light endorsements. Please feel free to share your modern and/or classic punk bands here that you think represent rock & roll manliness. And as always, keep it civil.

Excerpts from Cnet.com's review:
After starting the vehicle, we were able to quickly connect our laptop (as well as an iPod Touch) to the Autonet access point in exactly the same way that we would for a stationary access point.
After confirming that we were in fact connected to the Internet, we attempted a few unofficial speed tests. We logged onto YouTube …. from the time we clicked the link to the time the video began to play, nearly 3 minutes had elapsed. Even then, the video stuttered with constant buffering. By the time the one-minute video had completed, nearly 5 minutes had passed.
For comparison, the same video loaded in about 25 seconds on an iPhone 3G using the 3G wireless connection.
Taking a moment to look around, we found that this Cadillac vehicle was equipped with an iPod Touch in a cradle that featured a Cadillac app, which is not a part of the standard Autonet package. The app utilizes the Wi-Fi connection to deliver weather and traffic updates, as well as serving up a few local Internet radio stations via the CTS' auxiliary input. Audio quality was noticeably compressed, but not bad.
Because the system is completely hidden, there's no way of knowing how strong your cellular signal is, so you won't know if you're in a dead spot until you lose your signal. This is a minor inconvenience, which we are inclined to forgive.
The Autonet in-car access point retails for $499 (plus installation) with a $29-per-month subscription to keep the bits and bytes flowing.

A spokesperson for the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star has denied report the couple have secretly tied the knot after she addressed Dax as her husband in a caption of a photo she posted on Twitter.
Actress Kristen Bell's representative has dismissed reports the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" star and longtime fiance Dax Shepard have secretly wed. Bell sparked rumors suggesting she and Shepard had tied the knot after posting a photo and suggestive caption on her Twitter.com. page on Wednesday, March 23.
In the post she wrote, "My adorable husband, @daxshepard1 voting 4 his favorite american idol. Over and over again."
But a rep for Bell has played down the wedding stories, insisting the actress often refers to Shepard as her husband. Shepard proposed to the actress at the end of 2009, after two years of dating.
Bell ended a five-year relationship with former fiance Kevin Mann in 2007 and went on to date actor Shepard before finally engaged in 2009.

Herbal Essences None of Your Frizzness Smoothing Conditioner Reviews
Exactly What I Asked ForI absolutely LOVE the scent of this conditioner. Not many conditioners or shampoos work for my unruly frizz, they either weigh down my hair and do not get rid of the frizz, leave my scalp feeling itchy and nasty, or simply do not do what the claim! This conditioner has been a life saver for me because not only does it eliminate my frizz, but it adds a beautiful shine to my shoulder length hair whi...read morele keeping the volume! I also recommend the Drama Clean shampoo by Herbal Essences, what an irresistible, yummy green tea scent that really does keep my hair clean and free of build up or residue. — 5 years, 4 months agosarah_smarties_samsundar | 3 reviews

AwesomeI had used this shampoo+conditioner before, but I recently bought it again because I remember loving the results. It smells great and leaves hair with a clean feeling. The conditioner can be heavy if you use too much, but it really does a great job at moisturizong. As for the frizz, it does help out a lot. You may still have some frizzies, but I polished mine down with John Frieda thermal protection serum. — 6 years, 9 months agokyleighmaria | 6 reviews

Northern Kentucky
Author: Dr. Eric R. Jackson
Black America Series
Along the picturesque southern banks of the Ohio River, the African-American communities of Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties have provided laborers and entrepreneurs to aid in the economic growth of the region from the earliest settlements to today. Despite numerous obstacles and against seemingly insurmountable odds, African Americans in Northern Kentucky made significant contributions in many fields, ranging from music, medicine, and literature to performing arts, poetry, education, and athletics.
Dr. Eric R. Jackson, a resident of Florence, Kentucky, and an assistant professor of history at Northern Kentucky University , has compiled vintage images from archives, libraries, and personal collections to illustrate the spirit of numerous people, places, and events in Northern Kentucky's African-American heritage.

The first time I tasted salmon was in elementary school. Our grade was hosting a World Fair where every student was responsible for writing a report, creating a display, and offering a food from the country they were assigned. I managed to get Australia (my mom is from there and I lived there for a year) and we made Lamingtons for the project. On the day of the fair our grade lined up our desks in the hallways of the school, put up our posters, and passed out our foods to the other students and parents who made their way down the loud, colorful, maze of countries.
After running out of Lamingtons and becoming bored with my post I wandered to my friend's display. I can't remember what country she was assigned but I remember her offering me a piece of salmon from her project. Having only tasted fish-sticks before, I willingly accepted. I inspected the weirdly pale-pink specimen before taking a bite and promptly spitting it right back out. YUCK. It tasted like a rotten fish. Way too fishy for my child's palate.
From then until very recently (embarrassingly enough) I've avoided salmon with the thought that I despised it. Enter culinary school. Culinary school has been a great introduction to many foods and cuisines I probably would have never tried. Last semester one of our lessons covered filleting a whole salmon. We've made gravlax, poached salmon, and sushi. Turns out I don't hate salmon like I thought I did. So when it was on sale for less than $5 a pound at the market I scooped some up and found this AMAZING marinade.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: The best salmon I've tasted. Granted, I don't eat salmon often because it's expensive but this recipe is so flavorful and not too fishy-tasting.
Texture: The salmon is slightly charred on the outside while tender and flaky inside. The thick sauce on top brings it all together.
Ease: Very quick and easy. Marinade the night before or morning before you plan to serve. If you don't have a grill you could always use a grill pan or your oven's broiler.
Appearance: The light pink salmon with the deep dark sauce and bright green onions is just wonderful.
Pros: The best salmon I've made or tasted. Such a great way to incorporate this healthy fish into your family's diet.
Cons: None!
Would I make this again? The next time salmon is on sale!
How to make Soy-Ginger Salmon
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 fresh lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 green onion, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
- 1/3 cup orange juice
In a small saucepan over medium heat combine brown sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, olive oil, and ginger. Cook until sugar is dissolved and mixture is fragrant. Remove from heat, stir in orange juice.
Place fish and marinade mixture into a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
Preheat grill for medium direct heat. Lightly oil grill grate. Remove salmon from resealable bag and pour remaining marinade into a small saucepan. Bring marinade to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until slightly thickened, 5-10 minutes.
Cook salmon for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with reduced marinade sauce and chopped green onion.

I love salmon and I often use a marinade quite similar to yours! Of course my kids won't eat it, so I don't make it nearly as often as I'd like 🙁
Is This necessary To Include Wine I Souce ???
This looks delicious…we eat salmon often so I'll have to keep this in mind.
That's one sumptuous salmon and the ginger will remove it's fishy and stinky taste and smell. Best to dip in soy sauce with chili pepper and some lime.
Yummy Tessa! This looks amazing!
I love eating salmon and this marinade sounds great. I may have to give this one a try 🙂
This salmon looks scrumptious! Any idea on what to make with it? Choosing side dishes for fish can be difficult. It's always good to pair it with something more than just rice!
Do we keep the skin on the salmon when we cook it?
If your salmon fillets have skin on, cook the skin side down first. Gently flip the fillet to cook the other side and you'll notice the skin will come right off. Cooking with the skin on can help keep the salmon moist!
We might have to try this, it sounds pretty good! I mostly despise all fish, but my mom makes salmon on the grill using a cedar slab and plenty of real maple syrup. Unbelievably yummy…and this coming from a fish hater.
This looks amazing – how can I cook this if I have a simple pan (no grill)? Can it be done in the oven (maybe on broil?)
Rebecca – You could definitely bake, broil, or saute the fish!
if I wanted to use ground ginger instead of a fresh ginger root, how much do you think I would need?
1/4 teaspoon – though ground ginger won't have the same flavor.
This was AMAZING!! With a recipe like this…why eat out?
Love this! This is so similar to how my Chinese mom taught me how to panfry fish — soy sauce, ginger, scallions, garlic, rice wine, and brown sugar. I like the idea of an extra kick from the lemon and orange juice! It sounds delicious.
Really cool article. I read your posts fairly often and you always do a good job explaining the whatever topic you're writing about.
Btw, I shared this on Twitter and my followers loved it.
Keep up the great work!

Anna Kendrick Comments On Hit Status Of 'Cups' From PITCH PERFECT & INTO THE WOODS
Rising screen superstar Anna Kendrick started out on the Broadway stage and discusses the international hit status of her PITCH PERFECT movie musical breakout single "Cups" as well as looks ahead to her role as Cinderella in the stage-to-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's INTO THE WOODS as part of a new interview.
Kendrick keeps herself in check when referencing the ubiquitous PITCH PERFECT breakout hit, sharing, "The phrase 'It was cute at first' has been said a lot."
Additionally, Kendrick opines of people's willingness to offer their own rendition of the tricky musical routine, "They tell me they can do it - and then desperately look around. Because there's never a cup around. I'm like, 'I believe you, girl!'"
Plus, addressing how she herself compares to her cinematic counterpart in INTO THE WOODS, Cinderella, Kendrick candidly states, "Okay, here's the thing, since I've now had to explore that character... The actual story, the Brothers Grimm story, is of a girl who is beaten and abused by her family who is supposed to love her... and then gets a shot to maybe meet a dude. So, for me, that's not really the same as just being a normal person."
Kendrick concludes, "I would say the closest I ever come to feeling like Cinderella is when I'm at an awards show, and people compliment my dress or jewelry. I'm like, 'None of this is mine... It all goes back in the morning.'"

Gwen Stefani arrived at Jesun Acupuncture Clinic in Los Angeles, Calif. on Wednesday (January 8). The expectant mom wore a cheery yellow coat, jeans and heels for the appointment.
Pregnancy is not slowing her down. The No Doubt singer just launched a new 18-piece collection called DWP – or Design With Purpose.
She said of the line – which revolves around a "slouchy trouser" design – "What's so great about DWP for me is it's different from anything I've ever done, working in L.A. and having the factory right here.
"With L.A.M.B., we have so many categories within the collection and you have different factories that do specific things, so you are a little detached. The actual designs are very simple because it's all about everyday wear. So that's different and new."View Slideshow »»

Maycock sets new junior national record in the discus
Guardian Sports Editor
Published: Jun 18, 2013
About 10 Bahamian national records in athletics have been broken this year, and the latest feat belongs to 17-year-old Drexel Maycock who erased his own junior national mark in the discus this past weekend.
Competing unattached at the Jamaican Junior National Championships in Kingston, Jamaica, Maycock heaved the discus 54.14 meters (m) - 177' 7" - to easily out-distance his opponents. He had just set a new junior national mark of 54.05m (177' 4") the week before, and has now bettered that mark with his 54.14m throw over the weekend. His nearest competitor, Demar Gayle, had a best distance of 50.68m (166' 3").
"Drexel has really come along very well since he first came to Jamaica last year," said Maycock's coach to the south Dr. Kevin Gwyn Jones yesterday. "He still has a few technical faults that we are trying to work through, but he has been very consistent in the recent weeks. I have no doubt that he is going to get closer to the 60 meters mark by the time the World Youth Championships roll around. He has the size, the strength and just has to continue to work on his technique. I'm quite happy with where he is right now."
Only two Bahamian juniors have ever thrown over 50m in the discus – Maycock and Gerard Burrows, who originally set the junior national mark at 48.85m (160' 3") at last year's Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations' (BAAA) National High School Track and Field Championships. Maycock destroyed that mark, throwing 52.53m (172' 4") at this year's CARIFTA Games, and has since broken that mark twice – 54.05m and 54.14m in successive weekends.
Burrows and Maycock finished fourth and fifth at this year's CARIFTA Games, with throws of 50.30m (165') and 48.21m (158' 2") respectively.
"Drexel really has the potential to go all the way. He's a big kid and he's progressing really well," said his Jamaican coach Dr. Jones. "He's still only 17-years-old so he still has two more years as a junior. He should be strong at the world juniors next year. The way I see it, he just has to work on the technical aspect of throwing. Once he does that, he'll be fine."
Maycock is in the process of completing his first year at Monro College in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. Due to exams, he won't be home this coming weekend to compete in the BTC National Open Track and Field Championships, but was solidified as a member of The Bahamas' 19-member squad for the International Association of Athletic Federations' (IAAF) World Youth Championships. Those championships are slated for July 10-14, in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Dr. Jones is confident that Maycock could get up to the 60m (196' 10") mark by the time the world youth championships roll around. Jamaican Fedrick Dacres won that event two years ago in Lille, France, with a huge throw of 67.05m (220'). American Ethan Cochran won the silver medal with a personal best throw of 61.37m (201' 4"), and Gerhard de Beer, from South Africa, won the bronze medal with a personal best heave of 60.63m (198' 11").
"I think that Drexel has really been getting more competition here in Jamaica," said Dr. Jones yesterday. "He has been consistently over 50 meters. The sky is the limit for him. He's very strong for his age, and I think that The Bahamas could look forward to great things from him in the future."
According to Dr. Jones, Maycock is looking forward to the IAAF World Youth Championships, and hopefully winning The Bahamas' first medal in the throws at a global event.

He's a 6'7" Aussie who lives in a one-room tin shed in Alice Springs and spends
his days saving orphaned baby joeys, but since his documentary aired in the UK, 'Brolga' has been inundated with donations.
"I'm a bloke who lives in the bush who maybe gets six emails a month… I've been having six hundred in a day recently. It's going off, it's mad," he says.
Episode 1 performed 29% above the slot average in the UK with 1.833m viewers.
This documentary will air in two parts on Thursday 21st March & Thursday 28th March on ABC1.
Since childhood, Brolga has been infatuated with kangaroos, turning his love of the TV classic, 'Skippy', into an extraordinary way of life: rescuing and raising hundreds of orphan joeys for release back to the wild.
The close and heart-warming bond Brolga forms with his babies and the mob of wild kangaroos that live with him in his sanctuary, offers a rare and captivating insight into the bizarre biology and fascinating family life of one of Earth's most charismatic and unusual animals.
But can a man really be mother to a marsupial? And can he overcome the daily hazards that threaten him and his mob: wild dog attacks, injury, deadly snakes, searing heat, bush fires, and the dominant alpha male kangaroo Roger, who kills to protect his family?
It's an all-too familiar scene out on the 1,700 mile-long Stuart Highway: a kangaroo lying dead on the baking roadway. We watch as Brolga stoops low over the dead female. He reaches into her pouch and gently lifts out a tiny baby joey; it's barely breathing, but miraculously, still alive.
From there, we watch Brolga during his struggle to resurrect life from death, following the tough, round-the clock duties of being a surrogate mother to orphaned joeys like William, and hoping they can be successfully released back to the wild.
8:30pm Thursday, 21 March.

CHRIS King is the envy of his Scouse team-mates at Accrington Stanley – having played in a dream Champions League tie at Anfield.
The Reds left-back lined up against Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Jose Reina for Welsh outfit TNS three years ago, just a couple of months after Liverpool beat AC Milan to become the European Cup champions.
Despite crashing 3-0 on the night, with Gerrard bagging a hat-trick, it was an experience King will never forget.
"It's the biggest game I've ever played in," said the 27-year-old. "Playing Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League – it doesn't get any bigger. It was amazing.
"It was the draw everyone at TNS wanted, especially as Liverpool had just won the Champions League in Istanbul. We were all made up.
"Anfield was packed to the rafters. All their fans turned out because it was their first home game since winning it and they wanted to celebrate all over again.
"Liverpool put out their first team. They wanted to see us off so they could put their feet up and relax for the second leg!
"They had everyone playing – Reina, Carragher, Gerrard, Hyypia. It was a great side with great players.
"I was marking Darren Potter at left-back. After being run ragged for 70 minutes, they then decided to bring Djibril Cissé on! He's rapid, but it was a great challenge."
Liverpool eventually chalked up a 6-0 aggregate win over TNS, after beating the Welsh part-timers 3-0 in the second leg.
But that was to prove King's second European outing against Premier League opposition, having faced Manchester City in the UEFA Cup in 2003.
The opening leg – in which City cantered to a 5-0 victory – was the first competitive match at the City of Manchester Stadium.
King said: "I can't ever knock the European experience I had playing for TNS. That part of it was fantastic.
"Getting into Europe with a chance for big nights against Liverpool and Man City was a such a huge reward, especially with the teams you could get.
"You always want the big games. They are the games you play for in your life, and we went all over Europe.
"I'd also played in places like Sweden and Latvia and we were coming up against good teams.
"Last season, we went out on away goal to Ventspils of Latvia – that was the closest we came for a while to progressing through the Champions League."
While extremely unlikely to enjoy any European action with Stanley, King is more than happy sacrificing the odd 'big night' with TNS for the English game.
After spending six seasons in the Welsh Premier League, the son of former Tranmere player Alan King admits he needed to move on.
King said: "Obviously, the English Football League is a better standard than the Welsh Premier League. You're coming up against better teams, week in, week out.
"In England, you are playing at a higher tempo, and it'll be good to play in front of bigger crowds. I'm really looking forward to that side of it.
"Looking at the fixture list, I can't wait for the Carling Cup tie at Wolves. That's a great draw for us so early in the season."
King, who has played once at the Fraser Eagle Stadium, in a reserve team game for Southport, admits his father remains a big influence on his career.
And he is looking forward to making his dad proud when he wears Accrington's red jersey.
"There was always an ambition to be a footballer," he said. "But my dad never pushed me down that path. I was just always aware that I wanted to be a footballer.
"It's good to have him to speak to.
"He comes to watch a lot of my game – so I'm quite lucky in that respect. I'm sure you'll see him at Accrington this season, shouting at me during games!"

A NEWPORT woman has become a great-great grandmother for the second time.
Noah was born via emergency caesarean section on February 11 to Danielle Kerr, 21, and Jake Purnell, weighing 8lb 2oz at The Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport.
After being treated for an infection in intensive care, he met his great-great grandmother, Aileen Nash, 86, at seven days old.
Noah also has a great-grandmother Carol, 63, and grandmother, Helen, 41.
Helen said: "We all love the fact the Aileen is able to meet her great-great grandchild. As he had been ill after being born, everyone had been worried, so it made introducing him to his great-great grandmother all the more special."
This is the second time the family have welcomed a fifth generation of their family into the world.
Ms Nash has a three-year-old great-great grandson, Riley, born to Keiligh, 24, who is the daughter of her son Michael, 44.

Most of the commentariat is still wondering what's wrong with Papi. Sox fan Russ Smith is on to the next question:
The real question is how Boston's normally sober and calculating general manager Theo Epstein is going to negotiate Ortiz's exit from Fenway Park. He's in a real bind: when Epstein dispatched onetime Sox legend Nomar Garciaparra to the Cubs at the 2004 trading deadline, there was some grumbling, but the oft-injured shortstop had become, by that season, a malcontent who was hurting the team not only on the field but in the clubhouse as well. As a Sox fan, I applauded Epstein for having the guts to make that move; and when the team finally won a World Series a few months later, most of Boston agreed. But Big Papi? Man, Epstein will have elephant-sized balls to release the big lug, despite the inevitability. It's my bet that Epstein will take action, but probably later rather than sooner, as sentiment will prevail over business.
I still say we'll see a long stint on the DL, followed by an almost immediate trade for a big bat (you'll be best advised, however, not to ask whether the trade was brokered before the "injury" was discovered). If the trade works, great, the Sox head towards the playoffs, Oritiz comes back when rosters expand and is allowed to hit some without the question of whether or not he should be given his job back hanging over his head. Of course not: the big bat Theo picked up in July has earned the right, and Papi will get a chance to start fresh in 2010.
If the trade doesn't work and the Sox miss the playoffs? Well, that raises enough other questions that the issue of David Ortiz' struggles will fade in significance. The key is that David Ortiz cannot be the everyday DH at the same time the Sox are slipping out of the race,* because then everyone gets the blame.
*For these purposes, please ignore the fact that the Sox could have a nice comfy lead right now if it weren't for the fact that David Ortiz is cooked.

New Delhi – Former India Test bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and two other players have been arrested by Delhi police on suspicion of spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League, sports officials said on Thursday.
India's cricket board (BCCI) immediately suspended Sreesanth and his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila and promised that stricter punishments would await if they are found guilty.
"All information required to bring the persons involved to book will be collected and strictest action will be taken, if found guilty," BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale said in a statement.
"The BCCI has zero tolerance to corruption. We will offer all cooperation to the Delhi police and all other authorities in their investigations in this matter."
Spot-fixing is the manipulation of individual incidents within a match which may not affect the outcome of the contest, most famously exposed in a London trial and jailing of three Pakistani cricketers in 2011.
Paceman Sreesanth, 30, has a chequered past littered with on-field antics that frequently landed him in trouble since his 2006 Test debut at home against England.
The combative right-arm speedster has played 27 Tests and 53 one-day internationals but injuries and disciplinary issues have kept him out of the side since late 2011.
Last year, the Indian cricket board banned one uncapped cricketer for life and handed out lesser punishments to four others following similar allegations of corruption in domestic cricket.
"The BCCI engages the services of the anti-corruption wing of the ICC to educate and monitor players and support staff in prevention of corruption of any form in the game," Jagdale said.
"It is wholly unfortunate that despite such education, best playing conditions and terms of engagement offered, some players seem to be indulging in such activity."
Legal gambling in India is confined to horse-racing while casinos are allowed only in a couple of states.
In such an atmosphere, illegal syndicates continue to thrive and Indian media estimates put the amount bet on 2009 IPL Twenty20 competition at $427 million.
Sports Minister Jitendra Singh termed the players' arrest as "unfortunate" and has asked the cricket board to put in place a mechanism that would prevent such "unethical activities".
Pakistan players Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir were jailed in Britain for their role in a spot-fixing scandal relating to a test match against England at Lord's in August 2010.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) subsequently banned the three players for a minimum of five years. – Reuters

Ocwen Financial Corp. will provide more than $32.7 million in principal reductions to underwater borrowers in Nevada, under a settlement announced Thursday that closes an investigation into the nation's largest nonbank servicer of home mortgages.
"This is part of our ongoing civil law enforcement effort to hold services accountable," Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto said in a statement. "We will continue to take every precaution to protect Nevada homeowners."
Masto said the misconduct resulted in premature and unauthorized foreclosures, violations of homeowners' rights and protections, and the use of false and deceptive documents and affidavits, including robo-signing. Masto did not say how many Nevada homeowners would be helped by the settlement.
Ocwen will provide $2 billion in principal reductions nationwide, as well as refund $125 million to almost 185,000 borrowers who lost their homes to foreclosure.
The proposed order was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the attorneys general of Nevada and 48 other states and the District of Columbia.
"Deceptions and shortcuts in mortgage servicing will not be tolerated," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray. "Ocwen took advantage of borrowers at every stage of the process. (This) action sends a clear message that we will be vigilant about making sure that consumers are treated with the respect, dignity, and fairness they deserve."
It is the latest settlement to address the allegations of fraudulent mortgage servicing practices and robo-signing. The order was announced almost two years after a $25 billion national mortgage settlement with the nation's five-largest banks, including Bank of America Corp. and J.P Morgan Chase & Co.
As a mortgage servicer, Atlanta-based Ocwen it is responsible for collecting payments from the mortgage borrower and forwarding those payments to the owner of the loan. It handles customer service, collections, loan modifications, and foreclosures.
Ocwen specializes in servicing subprime or delinquent loans and places a major emphasis on resolving delinquency through loss mitigation or foreclosure.
Along with its purchase of Homeward Residential Holdings LLC, formerly called American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc., and Litton Loan Servicing LP, it acquired the mortgage servicing rights from some of the nation's largest banks.
In early 2012, examinations by the Multistate Mortgage Committee, which is comprised of state financial regulators, identified potential violations at Ocwen. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission referred its investigation of Ocwen to the CFPB after the federal agency opened in July 2011.
Ocwen will contact affected borrowers directly but they can also contact the company at 1-800-337-6695, or the Nevada Attorney General's homeowner's help line at 1-855-457-4638 or www.homeagainnevada.gov.

About MeI'm back!!! Who wants to work?
First thing I need to say is that I make my living on Family, baby, senior, event photography. So in other words I don't need to do this. I don't make money from it therefore I cannot give money to do it. If you work with me please understand it's not that I wouldn't like to pay you its just it wouldn't make any business sense for me to do so. TFDI only!!! I do this to stay fresh, practice, and learn new techniques. Please do not ask me to pay you (especially after we have scheduled a shoot). I totally believe we can mutually benefit each other's port. However I will occasionally spring for gas money in certain situations.
With that said I have been lately thinking at some point I will want to pay some models when I have a specific goal I want to accomplish. Which means I will more than likely go with someone I've worked with already. Ok enough of that.
My major passion is lowkey bodyscapes. I am always looking for models that want to add some work like this to their port. Also pregnant and plus-size models are welcome. Their are a ton of other concepts I would like to do so (some are below) if interested just ask.
Something with Smoke (Fog)
Urban abandoned buildings
Black n White/Vintage
Cleve Sports Teams Lingerie
Low Key Lingerie and/or Nude
Industrial/Boiler Room Sexy
Pin Up
African Heritage
Edgy Maternity
Parts modeling (Nudity)
Wedding Dress Portraits
Really looking to work with MUAs, Stylists, Clothing Designers, Retouchers, etc. If interested contact me via email at email@example.com. Thanks and hope to work with you.
MAJOR NOTE: My studio is an addition to my house. While those that have worked with me can tell you I am a perfect gentleman and always respectful, I always urge you to be cautious. I am well aware of how some models are treated. So bringing an escort is encouraged, just no entourages. I will not let a group of strangers in my house.

Jerusalem: Israel's prime minister has increased the amount of occupied territory he wants to keep after any peace deal with the Palestinians, Israeli radio reported on Thursday, a move that could complicate US-backed efforts to reach an accord.
Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman declined to comment on the report that he had added a bloc of Israeli-settled land near the Palestinian governmental seat in the occupied West Bank to a list of enclaves Israel intends to retain.
That would leave 13 per cent of the West Bank in Israeli hands, Israel's Army Radio said, a prospect likely to dismay Palestinians who want the area for a future state.
There was no immediate comment from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. But a Palestinian official, who asked not to be identified, rejected the notion of Israel keeping large clusters of settlements.
"We are saying that once we agree on the withdrawal to 1967 borders, we can accept minor exchanges of land on a case-by-case basis," the official said, referring to lines - described by Israel as indefensible - pre-dating the 1967 war in which it captured the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
According to the report, Mr Netanyahu told US Secretary of State John Kerry that Israel intends to hold on to the Beit El settlement enclave in addition to the Etzion, Maale Adumim and Ariel blocs it has long insisted it would keep.
Beit El, north of Jerusalem, is next to the city of Ramallah, where Mr Abbas's Palestinian Authority is headquartered.
Army Radio said Mr Netanyahu had also departed from past peace blueprints that had envisaged an equal trade of land inside Israel for any West Bank areas it retained.
Instead, the station reported, Mr Netanyahu has offered to buy some of the settlement land from the Palestinians, but they had rejected such a deal.
The radio attributed its information to an anonymous source familiar with the details of five-month-old, US-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Army Radio said Mr Netanyahu spoke to Mr Kerry about a biblical connection to Beit El, and its depiction in the Book of Genesis as the place where Jacob dreamt about a ladder to heaven.
The future of settlements is a core issue in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestinians fear Israeli enclaves will deny them contiguous terrain they see as crucial to a viable country.
Israel, along with the release of dozens of Palestinian prisoners as part of the talks, has stoked Palestinian anger by announcing settlement housing in areas it hopes to retain.
Mr Netanyahu's demands for an Israeli troop presence in the West Bank's Jordan Valley, the likely eastern border of a future Palestinian state, have also been rejected by Palestinians.
Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz said on Israel Radio on Thursday that keeping settlers in the valley was also vital to Israel's security interests.
Palestinians seek a state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital. In 2005, Israel pulled its troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip.
More than 500,000 Israeli settlers live among 2.4 million Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements have been deemed illegal under international law.
Mr Netanyahu visited Amman on Thursday to discuss the peace process with Jordan's King Abdullah. An Israeli statement said Mr Netanyahu "emphasised that Israel places a premium on security arrangements, including Jordan's interest in any future agreement" with the Palestinians.
Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994.

Beretta M92sb compact safety
This is my first post on this forum. I got it because I mainly use forums on my iPhone, and was recommended this app. So far I like it.
I'm not a hand-gun guy, I like rifles more, but my dad thought I needed a handgun to defend my house if need be, so he gave me one of his Berettas, and sent me on my marry way. It is a model 92sb compact, and so far, I like it. However, as a military enthusiast, I know the "m9" has had issues with the side coming off during firing (until the 92fs) , and wanted to know if the 92sb was safe. I don't know much about the slide mishaps, but when it comes to safety like this, I figured it best to come straight here.
Basically, is the Beretta M92sb Compact safe? Would you trust your life to it?
It is Italian made if that helps.
I don't know about the particular model you have, but I've owned a few Berettas and have found them to be of very good quality and dependable. I still have one that is my main carry. If you like it, learn it, it's up to you to make it safe by knowing your firearm.
Take it to the range and put 1000 rounds through it... After that you'll have a good idea if you'd trust "your" life to it... I don't trust a firearm until i have put 1000 through it... But maybe that's just me

text: TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 6, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odyssey's (Nasdaq:OMEX) President and COO, Mark Gordon, will deliver a presentation today at the Craig-Hallum Capital Group Alpha Select Investor Conference. The presentation will be webcast at http://investor.shareholder.com/craig-hallum/select/eventdetail.cfm?eventid=86690 . Mr. Gordon will report that the company's preliminary revenue for the third quarter, ending September 30, 2010, will exceed $8 million, subject to quarter end adjustments and review. The final third quarter results are expected to be released on or before November 9, 2010. The presentation will include an overview of the Company's activities in the shipwreck business as well as the provision of services in deep-ocean mining exploration and other expedition services including work for insurance and government clients. "Our strong third quarter revenue growth resulted from our strategic moves into mining exploration, revenue earned from syndicated projects and miscellaneous expedition projects including provision of government and insurance company services in the wake of the airline accident in the Eastern Mediterranean," stated Mr. Gordon. "What we are seeing now is the fruits of our strategic move to leverage our deep-ocean expertise into new sectors which we expect will provide significant revenue opportunities while we continue to engage in our core shipwreck business." "Our move into other deep-ocean services has been rewarding but our core business is still the shipwreck business," added Greg Stemm, Odyssey's CEO. "This year we have conducted shipwreck operations using three different ships on three major projects, so our move into these other areas has been accretive to our business plan but has not taken away from our shipwreck exploration work. The significant expansion of our operations has had its challenges but we are pleased with the resulting revenue. As is common for companies experiencing rapid growth, realization of revenue has not immediately translated into cash flow and we have also added some new advanced technology to enhance our offshore capabilities, so we are considering some short-term financing strategies that will minimize dilution to existing shareholders."

I realize asking for cheap music isn't something composers might appreciate, but this being my first flash game, I can't really invest in custom music.
I am working on a zombie defense game. The game itself is about surviving from zombies by shooting them before they destroy the barricade. The art is done in a comical way.
I tried using two types of music in the game - fast, action music and also a lively, comical music. And I have gotten feedback about both types not going too well with the game. Not having any musical background I can't get my head around what music would go well and fit the game.
You can try the game here if you create a FGL account
I would really love if someone could maybe take a look and see what you can come up with. And since the game is projected to release end of the month, your efforts won't be wasted.
Let me know & thanks again!
Hey there. :) I had a play, it's a cool game, congrats!
Personally I feel some rock music would fit well, as for the "feel" of the music, well here are a selection of tracks you may be interested in. :)
(This first one really fits the theme of a zombie apocalypse too)
Soundtrack rock:
Inspired by 28 days later:
Fast paced action:
Heavy rock, pretty cool riffs and occasional down-time:
Epic fairy tale:
If you like the sound of some of these but don't find one you feel fits, send me a PM and we can chat more. :)

The issue i'm seeing with your game is your visuals and your audio is telling VERY different stories. The story being told by the soldier is dark, somber, and tries to set a serious mood. Then you've got this light jazzy and pretty song following right after. On top of that you are telling the player the setting is moody and dark with a fog but wrongfully enforcing that setting with bright cheery colors.
You need to pick an angle and stick to it. Is it going to be a serious game? A light hearted game (plants vs zombies esque)? Right now, no music will really work because visually you are not united.
If it's a serious epic tone you're going for. I recommend the following.
- Track 1
- Track 1's respective menu track
Here's a pack of ours filled with just really evil, dark stuff.
Horror Pack
And if you need happier stuff, well you've already found loads of happier sounding songs :D. Just be clear with what tone you're setting, right now it's all over the place.
Perhaps consider a calm dark piece instead of dark battle music, sometimes that can set a better atmosphere-
on the other hand, you can try some more battle-like stuff with an emphasis on chaos-

Thank you guys for your suggestions, but this confuses me even more since you all posted such varying genres :(
Maybe like MaestroRage suggested, my game might be sending out mixed signals. The thing is, I had started this game out as a dark survival game, but with enough feedback realized those don't really work well as a flash game. Players like comical, light hearted stuff done with flashy art and popping sounds. Thus the redoing of all the art and sounds.
Here is how I envision the game:
All the art is going to be completed using the comical style you have seen in most of the game. There shall be no gritty, dark pieces. Things like the fog, I can very easily switch that off or even replace it with some comical effect. The story, I agree is a bit serious for the art, so thanks for the suggestion. I shall work on making it a bit lighter.
So considering all this now, what do you think the sounds and music should be like?
Well if you beef up the sound effects a bit you can have this kind of music:
It's more "cool" than dark. :)
Otherwise there's this: http://soundcloud.com/metalrenard/axe-to-the-face
I see what you mean about the art style, the thing is... Zombies. Haha
Don't know if comedy and zombies mix well unless you really take it to the extreme so it becomes a work of parody.
If that's the case then this might fit (not metal):
Imagine blasting cartoon zombies to that... Epic!

I tried a few of my tracks while playing the game, and here are the ones I thought worked well. Let me know if any of them interest you.
For an intense sound, I'd say use this one, starting at around 1:50, unless you want the buildup in.
For more of a creepy, ambient sound, you could use this.
I'm not sure how I'd describe the feel of this one, but I thought it fit.
These are all my original tracks, so as long as you credit me, there's no problem with you using them.

Heres a lil project i did about a year ago for an old contest here. I don't ask for any money, i just like to get my music heard.

Levels 3 and 4 were the only ones that I thought didn't fit.
