CD Release Cosmic Fame and Beam to hold show CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. You might get the feeling you’ve heard these songs before. The band’s strong point lies in vocalist Kevin Carter’s lyics. He has stressed in interviews that, although Beam plays hard rock, its message is positive and, at times, even spiritual. His lyrics are in thp vein of pre-Actung Baby U2. Contributing to Beam’s high energy rock are Tommy Koesel and Lewis Taylor on rhythm and lead guitars, Kevin Waugh on bass and Robert Savage on drums. The show starts at 9 p.m. The $5 admission includes a free din ner of kabobs, seafood and other appetizers on the deck. Cosmic Fame and Beam will also perform live on WUSC Sat urday at 4 p.m., and Cosmic Fame is scheduled to play at the Elbow Room again on Nov. 7, opening for Harlow, a partici pant in VHl’s show Bands on the Run. Beam will release a CD simultaneously with Cosmic Fame at the Elbow Room, photo special to the gamecock -1 WEB REVIEW A web haven for the drinker .. BY BROOK BRISTOW THE GAMECOCK Congratulations. After years of toil, you are now officially the party star. Not only are you the hippest kid this side of Sumter Street, but you throw the most righteous parties that ever graced the diverse cocktail that is USC. It’s Saturday night, you’re feeling all right and the party is at your place once again. Only, uh oh, someone forgot to go to Green’s for the necessary equipment. In fact, all you have is apple juice, butter, celery salt, ginger ale, grenadine, nutmeg, a banana and the rock and roll star’s drink of choice, Zima. So now what? Where do you turn? 4 Well, while the gang is in the bathroom testing the black and white tile to see whether it’s comfortable enough to sleep on, surf to Idrink.com. There, you’d find you could use a few of those ingredients to make a Shirley Zima. So maybe it’s not be the most popular drink, but at least you have something. And that’s what Idrink.com is about. Idrink.com is a site for the alcoholically challenged. In moments, using its ingredient interface, you can avoid the emergencies of a lousy party and turn your old groceries into drinks you might find backstage at a rock concert. Graphics aren’t Idrink.com’s strength; it has just enough to appease the eye. The site also loads slowly. But the easy set up and friendly interface, which uses ingredients, recipes, a top drink list and an ability to set up your own recipe book at your virtual bar, make Idrink.com a winner. While it’s not the only game in town, Idrink.com is one of the stronger “shots” on the Web. If to drink is to live, then also check out mixed drink.com, bardrinks.com and digitalbartender.com. All these sites will acquaint you with the order of the libation, and they won’t leave a bad taste in your mouth. www.idrink.com RATING: B TODAY’S MOVIE LISTINGS Russell House Theate SHREK (PG) 8:00 Nickelodeon 937 Main St., 254-3433 THE MAN WHO CRIED (R) 7:00,9:00 Regal Cinema 7 Columbia Richland Mall, 748-9044 THE SCORE(R) 2:05,4:40,7:15,9:55 ROCK STAR(R) 2:15,7:00 AMERICAN PIE 2 (R) 2:05,4:35,7:30,10:00 THE PRINCESS DIARIES (G) 2:00,4:45,7:10,9:40 THE OTHERS (PG-13) 2:10,4:45,7:25,9:50 TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME (R) 2:35,4:30,5:00,7:30,9:30,10:00 THE MUSKETEER (PG-13) 2:00,4:25,7:20,9:45 Columbiana Place Stadium Cinemas 1250 Bower Parkway, 407 9898 CAPT.

The Hobbit seemed to get the important stuff right, anyway, but The Return of the King gets almost everything wrong. And as if that weren’t enough, Rankin/Bass invited Glen Yarbrough back, and he gets to sing even more (insert gagging sound here). While watching these films is a nice way to catch up before seeing the live-action film in December, only Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings is a work of art. The Hobbit is fun in a juvenile way, but The Return of the King is just plain inexcusable. And who knows how the next attempt at retelling Tolkein’s masterpiece will turn out? It’s quite likely Bakshi’s film did more justice to the trilogy than the new live-action one will.
