...delightful mix of traditional Irish folk music and surging punk rock, the Los Angeles-based Flogging Molly presents some of the best music the Warped Tour lot has to offer. Fronted by Dublin native Dave King, this sextet sports a fiddle, accordion and mandolin. These guys know how to rumble with the best of them, but some of their finest moments come during their sweeping, heartfelt ballads. Their third album, Within a Mile of Home, was released just last month and continues the magnetic style they first displayed on their debut, Swagger. 18+. Tickets $17.75. 7 p.m. Avalon Night Club...

...Korea has discovered genetic engineering--and so suggest that all times and not just all people are linked by six degrees of separation. It's no coincidence that one composer here is writing a "final, symphonic major work, to be named Eternal Recurrence"; another is composing a Cloud Atlas Sextet...

A Sunni council member said the attacks had totally altered "sensitivities." First the constitution-signing ceremony was put off for three days of mourning. Then on Friday evening, as a sextet from the National Symphony Orchestra tuned up the national anthem and accompanied children from Baghdad's School of Music and Ballet, the landmark agreement fell apart. For the third time since November, the powerful Ayatullah Sistani spoiled Washington's plans. Each time his purpose seemed to be to ensure that...

...What's changed in the quarter-century since I first saw this movie? Possibly my sense of humor. I didn't find "Life of Brian," at least the 30 min. Passion section, much fun this time. The sextet devoted way too much ribaldry to speech impediments and Jesus' termagant mum, and the filmmaking craft, which I'd remembered as spiffy, now looked slack. Only the strong central metaphor remains: of a fellow who is mistaken for Christ and crucified. "The Last Temptation of Christ" has a similar theme: a man slowly discovers...
