THESE TWO albums are about as dissimilar, musically, as any products of today's mass-marketed record companies can be. Lou Reed's record is curious fusion of jazz instruments, electronic effects, and Reed's fast-decaying voice; Patti Smith's latest is a luke-warm porridge of mushy mixing and tame playing.

In New York suburbs, minority audiences or the merely curious can sample Spanish-language interview shows or a Korean variety hour or instruction in yoga.
