Technology may be altering the way we listen to music and how music is produced (DJ Mixing/Wikipedia Commons)
As our world becomes smaller, and cultural information can spread as rapidly as a URL is typed, notions of so-called world music are changing. On today’s show we’ll look at two ends of the spectrum. Ethan Smith of the The Wall Street Journal, tells us about a new world citizen “supergroup” funded by a Lebanese-born industrial magnate and comprised of a selection of musicians from Nigeria, China, India, Algeria and the US. And Wayne Marshall, of the blog Wayne and Wax joins us to talk about World Music 2.0 or Nu Whirled Music, where, he says, technology is rapidly altering both music production and listening practices around the world.

P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program
This product is what I expected from the infomercial - the infomercial is a good representation of what you'll get. The DVDs are good, come in a small case (no excess packaging to exaggerate or compensate for lack of real product). The accompanying written materials are good too.
However, I found that I wasn't quite in shape enough when p90x arrived to use it well. I went back and bought Tony Horton's "Power Half Hour" and used that for a few weeks first - had to wake up some muscles I've let go dormant. I've been in good shape most of my life, but kind of got lazy lately - I needed to get a basic foundation before I could jump into the incredible workouts he provides.

jeez,a guy makes a throw away comment on soundcheck,and it is taken as having the gravity of the magna carta.
i dig experimentation,if squirrel farts are the order of day,then let the flatulence begin. my beef,is re a contrived conjoining of people,ie.pangea,to create something that is much more of a product for mass consumption than a work of art. that's it..
Well, It's easy to take the 'holier than thou' attitude towards music, but then, hopefully ag from nj is recording his ironic brand of badly miked squirrel fart samples and detuned cellos to remind us that music is about discovery and experimentation and not about making a great product and selling it.
I think pens are too commercial as well, why don't you all us quills?
you guys are right,i,ve turned into an obnoxious critic. as for bolo,menudo,era un grupo de muchachos boricuas,que formaron parte de una agrupacion intercambiable. tal vez como componenetes de una maquina sin espiritu y alma........still think i don't know what menudo was bolo?
menudo? i don't get it. you don't even know what menudo was.
yeah a g what do you think this is, some kind of smack down?
a g is that really necessary?
this is a sort of multicultural menudo 2.0
go away,stay away,please!
