In the window of the Ruowen Pet Spa in downtown Beijing, a white poodle has been dyed to appear as if it is wearing a bikini. Next to it is Raphael, named after a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. His fur has been shaved and dyed green. Yes, just like a turtle.
Turtle, Turtle!!

Singer/Rapper Wyclef Jean may be running for president of Haiti. As you remember his organization, Yele Haiti Foundation, gave millions of dollars in relief after a massive earthquake left Haiti even more poor and destructive. Wyclef plans on announcing his final decision this Thursday night in Haiti. BUT, he will have to prove much more in the up coming November elections (more…)
What the HELL happened to Miley Cyrus? I knew in the Music relm she couldn’t wait to bust out and run away from Disney. Last I heard Billy Ray and moms had her on lockdown (you can’t control the money maker). I guess when you made that amount of money in so little time you do things cause you want to do them at this point. Money is of no concern to cyrus and who can knock her for that. Really, Cyrus is a gorgeous young adult, but I can’t take the quick media tranformation. I wonder how dangerous this is for her disney followers. I would have rather she took a longer break out of the media eye and resurfaced as the new Miley if I were a parent.

It seemed like an impossible task, but that didn’t stop NPR’s Music group for trying. With the first decade of the new millennium coming to a close, they decided to compile a list of the 50 most important recordings of the past 10 years — a list that covers a wide range of styles and genres, with indelible songs and albums that challenge, inspire and captivate. These are the game-changers: records that signaled some sort of shift in the way music is made or sounds, or ones that were especially influential or historically significant.
Favorite records don’t necessarily qualify. A lot of people, including nearly everyone at NPR Music, love Fleet Foxes’ debut album, but was it one of the decade’s most important? (You can tell us what you think in the comments section below.) The 50 recordings that appear here are listed alphabetically. They’ve included artists and bands from a number of musical worlds, from dubstep and hip-hop to Top 40 pop, classical, jazz, world, beardy folk, metal and hard rock. There’s some country, too, but admittedly no grindcore or goa trance. (Again, you can tell us what you think in the comments section below.)
A lot of people, including All Songs Considered listeners, helped put this list together. As they culled through the nominees, tears were shed and arguments were had. But one thing they all agreed on: This was one of the best decades yet for music. We can’t wait to hear what comes next. -jenn
