...lines, ambient fuzz, and distorted vocals. This homemade Kinshasa sound stands at an acoustic crossroads between folk, noise, and electronica, and its records are attracting fans from all genres. In “Congotronics 2,” a compilation featuring seven Kinshasa-area bands, the music gains a wider scope, which promises to expand the scene’s growing crossover appeal. Konono No.1 continues to sound the most familiar to western ears; the band’s beats and riffs are dense and quick-paced, introducing dissonance into supple vocals and generally submerging traditional melodies in a wash...

With the Olympic rinks 4 m wider than those in the NHL, goaltending and special teams--power play and penalty killing--become even more critical.

Listeners, faced...
...Ahmadinejad seems none too worried about U.N. sanctions. As he no doubt sees it, Russia and China are unlikely to go along with such punitive measures, because of their deep economic interests in Iran. The wider international community, he knows, is concerned that a crisis involving Iran could spike oil prices even higher. And he surely calculates a certain advantage to Tehran in relation to Washington right now, created by the foreign policy challenges the Bush Administration faces in Iraq and in the Palestinian territories, where Iran now enjoys influence with key local players...
