Iranian radio told to play "relaxing, revolutionary" tunes
 Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Iran's radio and television network not to play Western and "decadent" music and instead use "relaxing" and revolutionary-era tunes. "The promotion of decadent and Western music should be avoided and the stress should be put on authorized, artistic, classic and fine Iranian music," a decree was quoted as saying in Monday's press. Also prescribed by the High Council of Cultural Revolution, a cultural watchdog headed by the president, were "relaxing themes and memorable music from the revolution."
