...Bangladesh. An organized network of herders and trucks carries cows across the northern plains of India to cattle markets near the border, where they are dispatched to smugglers who try to sneak them over in ones and twos. The smugglers quickly learned how to get around the fence: the latest in smuggling technology involves a jury-rigged contraption of bamboo poles, iron hooks and old barbed wire used to haul small cows up and over the 10-ft.-high (3 m) fencing...
Other sonic tricks have had their moment--notably Peter Frampton's "talk- box," a plastic tube that made his guitar sound as if it were talking--but in skilled hands, Auto-Tune is the rare gimmick that can lead to innovation.

...that Newman could write personal and meaningful music that didn’t simply fulfill the power-pop template so successfully adopted by The New Pornographers. The triumph of “The Slow Wonder,” then, could only arouse high hopes for Newman’s latest release, his second solo album, “Get Guilty.” “Get Guilty,” though, is nothing like “The Slow Wonder.” Whereas the latter was a boldly experimental album that saw Newman embracing diverse instruments and song...
