Anyone good with solving definite integrals?

This problem has been bugging me for a while now.

integrate: x*sin(x)*cos(2x) for x = pi to pi/2

I know I have to use Simpson's formulas and integration by parts, but I just can't seem to get the right solution: 5/9 - pi/3

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sin(x+y) = sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y) @ above
