Police, and even mango trees as musical inspiration, &quot;I want to bring a new 
sound to an audience that can appreciate diversity, it&iacute;s about a love for 
the art and my love for all kinds of music.&quot;

As lead front woman, musician and writer and for the band, which released The War in Me EP in 2004 Tasneem displays a fearless conviction and spirited energy that refreshingly isn&iacute;t afraid to experiment and at the same time communicates a humanness doesn&iacute;t take itself too seriously.  Like many other great rock and roll bands, Jungli&iacute;s energy is experienced best live in person where one can soak up their raw and fluid performance.  Known to discuss a number of topics with her songs including politics, love, war, and the environment Tasneem shares, &igrave;I love them because they are timeless and speak to ongoing problems that we all share as human beings. I&iacute;m always going to love, I&iacute;m always going to fight and I&iacute;m always going to be trying to save the world through art; that I know.&quot;  

The multicultural and diversely talented Jungli also includes fellow band members 
Dave Sharma on drums, Dipesh Sinha on guitar and Quinnell Brown on bass.
Sharma who also plays the tablachi and the dholi, traditional Indian percussion, has toured internationally has lent his talents to an array of projects including the Broadway Rahman/Webber musical Bombay Dreams.  Guitarist Sinha&iacute;s various talents include engineering, mixing, and playing alto sax and the traditional Indian tabla and Brown who studied at NYC&iacute;s Institute of Audio Research, has been playing bass for ten years and has shared the stage with The Roots, KRS-One, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Q-Tip.

Gaining momentum in several metropolitan circuits, Jungli also raises AIDS awareness through music, performing Healing Innovations and Amnesty International sponsored events.  Also active in the South Asian community, the band lends their music to organizations such as the South Asian Women's Collective, Gallery Arts India, and Artwallah.

            <title> <![CDATA[Album Spotlight: Selda]]></title>
            <link>http://www.shocklee.com/index.php?content=lotm&amp;id=36 </link>
            <description><![CDATA[Selda (Finders Keepers Records)

This self-titled release from the vaults of the folks at Finders Keepers is filled with deliciously funky breaks and refreshing psychedelic arrangements that will provoke you to sing along even if you don&iacute;t understand the fierce Turkish vocal that Selda provides. A compassionate and outspoken product of 70&iacute;s Turkey, Selda&iacute;s bewitching and beautifully rhythmic vocals evokes the spirit of what it meant to be a woman during the shifting decade of nonconformity.  Listening back and discovering or perhaps re-discovering this jewel today is probably more relevant than ever but be warned, after a few listens you may want to enlist a translator and dig even deeper.

 
About Selda:
When Selda Bagcan first released her long-awaited LP (the first of two confusingly eponymous titles in the same year), she was enduring/enjoying her hiatus as one of the most politically outspoken popular folk singers to hail from Turkey. In the previous decade she had made a household name for herself as a traditional Anadolu protest singer with a spectacular emotive vocal capacity (for idle argument's sake, begging comparison to a Turkish Joan Baez). A figurehead and poetic driving force for a radical generation of politically motivated creative revolutionaries, her raw, stripped-down folk songs yearned for political change with heart-wrenching earnest, embodying a unifying traditional sound which mainlined the veins of a free-thinking, united Turkey. Selda had, and still has, a reputation as an individual, omnipresent strength who was willing to brave grave consequences in the name of change and humanity which would later see her serve time in prison on account of her vociferous attitudes on behalf of her like-minded but seldom spoken peers. Until now, Selda played the role of musical martyr in a lonely void, but by early 1975 - when Ms. Bagcan was given an unexpected opportunity to commit a collection of ten new songs to an LP for the forward thinking Turkuola label - the silent free-thinking cognoscenti of musical Istanbul came to her aid in droves, thus creating one of the most extraordinary hybrid folk albums you are ever likely to hear. 		-Andy Votel

            <title> <![CDATA[Forbes Lists The 20 Richest Women In Entertainment]]></title>
            <link>http://www.shocklee.com/index.php?content=lotm&amp;id=37 </link>
            <description><![CDATA[The 20 Richest Women In Entertainment
LEA GOLDMAN AND KIRI BLAKELEY 

From Oprah to J-Lo, these women are raking it in.

THESE DAYS, just about any lip-smacking starlet can land a cable reality show or become YouTube's flavor of the week. But fame's 15 fleeting minutes can elapse quicker than it takes to refresh a Web page. Only a bona fide superstar can parlay a moment's stardom into a long and lucrative career. And even that's not enough to land a coveted spot on our first-ever listing of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment. For that, you'd need a minimum net worth of $45 million.

To compile the list, we scoured the music, television, film and publishing industries to determine which female celebrities have, over the course of their careers, amassed the greatest fortunes in entertainment. We ruled out non-working celebs who essentially live off royalties (Barbra Streisand, for example), and we also excluded &quot;old Hollywood&quot; types like Elizabeth Taylor. The list is entirely confined to today's active megastars.

Of course, the celebrities with the longest careers proved the most daunting to evaluate. Since beginning her career in the early 1980s, Madonna has sold some 200 million albums worldwide and starred in a string of largely disappointing films. She owns an impressive portfolio of properties and briefly ran her own record label, Maverick, a part of Warner Music Group. Our estimate of her net worth--$325 million--is definitely on the conservative side.

Indeed, most of the women on our list cull their earnings from multimedia enterprises. Jennifer Lopez, for example, boasts valuable perfume and fashion lines in addition to her film and music careers; Harry Potter scribe J.K. Rowling now enjoys millions of dollars in royalties and merchandising revenues from the incredibly successful film adaptations of her books; and supermodel Gisele Bundchen, a fixture of Victoria's Secret catalogs, earned her $70 million fortune not just from modeling, but also from a line of successful sandals sold in Brazil. ??The youngest women on the list? Twenty-year-old twins and former child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who have converted their supporting roles on a middling 1980s sitcom into a multimillion dollar retail empire called Dualstar Entertainment. The twins are often credited in the media as presiding over a fortune of as much as $1 billion. Not so. Despite Dualstar's retail sales of $1 billion, the waifish mini-moguls don't pocket all of it. We estimate their combined net worth at around $100 million.

Britney Spears, 25, also makes the list, despite a relatively brief career that took off only in 1999 with the release of her hit single &quot;...Baby One More Time.&quot; Her $100 million fortune was earned largely from music--she has sold over 75 million albums to date--but she has supplemented her income with a profitable line of perfumes and multimillion-dollar endorsement deals.
The richest actress on the list is Julia Roberts, who built her estimated $140 million fortune film by film. The Pretty Woman star was the first actress in Hollywood to command a $20 million-per-film paycheck, a fairly common salary for male superstars like Will Smith and Johnny Depp. Other actresses who make the list largely due to their film fees are Nicole Kidman and Cameron Diaz. Sandra Bullock, who checks in at No. 14 on the list, supplemented movie earnings by producing the ABC sitcom The George Lopez Show, which went into syndication last year.
Martha Stewart is the only woman on the list whose net worth fluctuates just about every second. Her nearly $650 million fortune is based almost entirely on the 28 million shares she owns in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (nyse: MSO - news - people ). (In 2005, that stake was worth $1 billion.) Though her brief stint in prison forced her to relinquish the chief executive title, she still collects upwards of $2 million a year in salary and bonuses from the firm.

Methodology: Net worth estimates were arrived at by tallying the total earnings, including salaries, record sales, tours, merchandising and royalties over the course of a career. When relevant, we included real estate holdings, shares and other assets. A conservative rate of return was applied, less taxes and agent fees. The list is limited to those female celebrities active in their professional lives.

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. J.K. Rowling
3. Martha Stewart
4. Madonna
5. Celine Dion
6. Mariah Carey
7. Janet Jackson
8. Julia Roberts
9. Jennifer Lopez
10. Jennifer Aniston
11. The Olsen Twins
12. Britney Spears
13. Judge Judy
14. Sandra Bullock
15. Cameron Diaz
16. Gisele Bundchen
17. Ellen DeGeneres
18. Nicole Kidman
19. Christina Aguilera
20. Renee Zellweger

            <link>http://www.shocklee.com/index.php?content=lotm&amp;id=38 </link>
            <description><![CDATA[The impact of audio technologies and its influence on DJ performance is arguably one of the hottest topics to hit the DJ scene worldwide as of late.  DJ, record collector and party promoter DJ Misbehaviour chimes and gives us her personal take on what the ongoing debate means to her.
 

Are Serrato &amp; Final Scratch The Death Of Vinyl? 
DJ MISBEHAVIOUR

In all my 17 years of being a dj, now is the time when the way of djing and especially the format we are using is changing dramatically whether we like it or not. There seemed to be very little changes in technology for years, the Technics turntable ruled, its functions could be learnt in seconds and all us dj&iacute;s did was concentrate on perfecting our skills. Now the new technologies and how they are affecting the way of djing is controversial to me as it is moving to eradicate analog altogether. So if you love the sound of vinyl (and no people MP3&iacute;s do not sound the same) and music is your life, you may feel that your very existence is being threatened. 

When cd&iacute;s first came out, it didn&iacute;t change the game so much, some dj&iacute;s switched and started spinning cd&iacute;s, and many of the audio manufacturers followed suit releasing cd players that allowed the cd using dj&iacute;s to have the same scope as the turntable dj&iacute;s. As the formats were so different we moved along side each other and it seemed to be still just an individual preference what format we decided to use, even though rumour had it vinyl would be replaced, there were still many stores stocking plenty of vinyl.

Along came Final Scratch and Serrato who thought hmm a lot of djs don&iacute;t like cds as they love to spin vinyl, so lets give them a way to be digital and spin vinyl.  Yes, it works to a certain extent but like a Hollywood movie that has all special effects and no story, there is still something missing.  I love the flow I have when I spin vinyl, the way I flick through my record box planning what to play, all those great pictures on the covers stimulating me as I move through them. Turning records at an angle in the box, so they stand out to remind me I need them soon, the way I hold them and flick them over effortlessly in my fingers looking for the track, the way they smell, the way they sound, the way they crackle! 

Yes, these are emotional reasons but because this is about artistic process and will always be emotional for me.  I hate the thought of that selection process being not a record with wonderful individual pictures on the covers, but a file that looks exactly the same as the all the others and that the only tangible thing for selecting is the mouse pad.  I hate the thought of using MP3&iacute;s which just don&iacute;t sound right. I hate that very few people notice that they just don&iacute;t sound right! I hate that too many people in the industry keep telling me that this &igrave;is the way we all HAVE to go&icirc; baaa.  If this is such a great leap forward for dj&iacute;s then why hasn&iacute;t the level of skills improved?  I think it has declined. 

Yes, it would be great to travel with a laptop instead of crates of records, no more lifting heavy bags in and out of taxis, up and down stairs. No more pains in my knees and lower back. I hate the fact that vinyl is so effing heavy! And there lies my dilemma. So yes, at some point I may want embrace this technology, but it is a carefully considered process. I&iacute;m now researching sound cards that will ensure that my vinyl enters my computer in the best possible way and it will serve as a back up to my collection. 

To quote DJ Bobbito Garcia who raises a very good point &igrave;'everyone has a right to choose what format they listen to music on, however the popularity of digital is infringing on my right to choose vinyl. It is unequivocal fact that analog sound hits more curves on the sound wave and produces a warmer experience. Digital gets compressed and reduces noise. You lose the bottom and soul that goes into the original&icirc;

This is a key issue and I think one of the reasons many dj&iacute;s defend vinyl so passionately is because we&iacute;re losing our right to choose. I want to have that choice and not be forced into using a different format that doesn&iacute;t sound as good to my ears.  I think we need to remember that it is sound we are dealing with and this should not be compromised by flashy technology. We shouldn&iacute;t think Serrato or Final Scratch are the only way to go, just because they&iacute;re the new hot technology.  I don&iacute;t want to be in that race of spoon fed consumers that are constantly waiting for the next upgrade, always feeling like they are behind or missing out because they don&iacute;t have it the latest.  One of my favorite dj&iacute;s Jah Chakka only has one turntable, a mic and effects box and can rock a crowd of hundreds with his dubs.

So give me my vinyl and my simplistic yet sophisticated turntable and a cutie to carry my records and I will live happily ever after.

Making the cut:

In ranking women for the Power 100, we considered the following criteria:

1. What she has achieved this year. While a proven track record is a consideration, no Power 100 woman is allowed to coast on past accomplishments

2. Each woman's position within her entertainment company (to whom she reports, how many employees report to her, and if she runs her own company or enjoys a stake in a larger corporation)

3. Whether she has the power to greenlight projects. If not, how much influence she has with the person who has that power

4. How much money she controls (and, by extension, how many people she hires or causes to be hired)

5. Force of personality: how much impact she has on the industry around her

6. The purpose of this list is to highlight the achievements of female executives working in the entertainment industry. A committee of editors determined the names and ranks after thorough field research and evaluation of hundreds of submissions. We don't expect everyone to agree with us.? In addition, because of shifts in executive positions and new names added to the list, some women might have dropped in ranking in the Power 100; that does not necessarily reflect a loss in power. Rankings are based on each woman's position at press time. 

Profiles were written by staff writers Nellie Andreeva, Paul Bond, Barry Garron, Cynthia Littleton, Kimberly Nordyke, Nicole Sperling and Anne Thompson, and freelance writers Rebecca Ascher-Walsh, Stephen Galloway, Christina MacDonald, Minju Pak and Ray Richmond.
