Hear Eric Clapton's isolated guitar track from The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
Clapton at 70: The 50 greatest guitar moments of Eric Clapton's five-decade career.
Guitar World presents five headphone songs guaranteed to blow your mind.
Although they often have been compared to The White Stripes, they are of a grungier variety, exuding much of what rock should be, simple and rough. Their first two albums were recorded in Carney's basement on an eight-track tape recorder. Their debut album, The Big Come Up, received great reviews; from there, the band signed with Fat Possum Records.
After Bradley Nowell's death in 1996 and the subsequent disbanding of Sublime, the reggae-rock genre continued to flourish, but it struggled to produce many standout bands. With their surprise 2008 hit, "Lay Me Down," The Dirty Heads seemed to be the perfect act to fill the void. Hailing from Southern California, the band fuses elements of reggae, hip-hop and punk into a mellow, melodic style that is equal parts Kingston and Compton.
The Big Four. Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica. Not only are they our November cover stars, but it just so happens that today, September 14, they're playing just their second-ever U.S. show at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, NY.
50 killer acoustic rock songs: Which one is your favorite? Check out this poll and let us know.
The following is an excerpt from our November 2011 feature interview with Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci.
The accomplishments of U2 and The Edge during the past seven years could be the basis for a success scenario that any band of young hopefuls could follow. Yet they are not content to simply issue Top Ten records every other year and fill concert arenas. That's too easy a goal for a group of musicians that has challenged every cliche in the rock 'n' roll book and managed to take with them a still-growing retinue of followers.
In case you've been living under a rock, the November issue of Guitar World features the members of the Big Four by way of an epic cover shoot that took place in Milan, Italy. Now, you can check out an exclusive gallery of outtakes from one of the most historic GW covers of all time below.
This track comes from the Swedish rockers forthcoming CD, 'Exit to Transfer.'
"You can't get more basic and efficient than this," croaks Leslie West as he gestures at his brand-new Les Paul Junior. Gibson has given him the first of their re-issued line, in honor of all he did for that model by playing it to death-his earlier ones literally fell apart from use -- in Mountain and West, Bruce & Laing.
Check out this cut from the instru-metallers sophomore album, 'Saansilo.'

Metalhead Ned's First Record Album: KISS' 'Double Platinum'
I have been and always will be a KISS Army member until the day I am laid to rest.
I'm only 26. So, while I was not around when KISS hit the scene in 1973, I remember watching a movie featuring these guys in war paint named "Detroit Rock City." Seeing the spectacle of this band got me hooked on them. I quickly wanted everything KISS, including vinyl albums. I remember where I got my first album, too!

A stepper motor controller, for use with a main computer having vector interrupt capability, includes main address and data terminals, interrupt terminals, a select/enable terminal and control terminals, and is used to control the operation of a stepper motor pursuant to instructions from the main computer. The main computer enables a selected controller to accept commands or data through a decoder coupled to the select terminal. The controllers provide accept and error interrupt signals to the main computer when it is ready to receive data and to notify the main computer when an error condition is found.

With the consistent decline in their cost, stepper motors are finding increased use in industrial controls, automated manufacturing and production equipment, numerical machine tools and consumer items, such as printers and disc drives. As mechanisms, such as industrial robots, which use stepper motors to control their movements, become more complicated, the required number of stepper motors increases. However, along with this increase in number is an increase in the need for keeping the controller components small enough to fit in tight spaces and intelligent enough to generate complex sequences of motions. For this purpose, microprocessors have been found to be very well suited.
Although a general purpose microprocessor can be used to control stepper motors, the initial purchase price and the cost of custom programming by the customer would undoubtedly be high. Thus, there have been developed co-processor based stepper motor controllers which are used in conjunction with a main computer. The stepper motor controller unburdens the main computer, typically a microprocessor, from the task of directly controlling and constantly monitoring large numbers of stepper motors. Examples of such stepper motor controllers are those made by Cybernetics Micro Systems of Los Altos, Calif. and sold as the CY 500 and the CY 512.
Prior art microprocessor stepper motor controllers commonly communicate with a main computer by initiating an interrupt signal. When the interrupt is generated, the main computer must read the status of all the controllers to find out which controller generated the interrupt. This procedure is called polling. However, in a multi-controller, multi-stepper motor environment, polling procedures can take appreciable time which can affect the speed of operation of the device or apparatus being controlled.
The present invention is directed to a stepper motor controller which provides an identifying vector to eliminate the need for the main computer to poll the controllers upon receipt of an interrupt signal.
The stepper motor controller of the invention finds its greatest utility when used with a main computer having vector interrupt capability. The controller includes data terminals, interrupt terminals, control terminals and stepper motor output terminals, and is used to control the operation of a stepper motor pursuant to instructions from the main computer. The stepper motor output terminals are connected to its associated stepper motor through a driver. The various terminals of the stepper motor controller, also sometimes called the slave microprocessor, are coupled to the main computer through appropriate lines and buses.
The select terminal, also called the chip select terminal, is used to enable the controller to accept data or commands from the main computer. The main computer provides address information identifying which controller is to be enabled to accept the commands or data. This is accomplished through a decoder having a number of output terminals, one output terminal coupled to the select terminal of each of the slave microprocessors. The decoder accepts the multi-bit address and produces a chip select signal at one of its several outputs, one of which is connected to the chip select terminals of each of the several controllers.
The slave microprocessors are adapted to produce two interrupt signals at their interrupt terminals. These interrupt signals are called accept (also called input buffer empty or IBE) and error interrupt signals. The accept and error interrupt signals are provided to the main computer when the slave microprocessor controller is ready to receive information from the main computer or to interrupt the main computer when an error condition is encountered.
The controller also generates a controller identifier message, also called a vector identifier signal or vector interrupt, at its data terminals substantially simultaneously with the production of the interrupt signals. The identifier message identifies which of the several microprocessors is generating the interrupt signal. This eliminates the need for the main computer to poll the slave microprocessor controllers whenever an interrupt signal is received. Thus, dialogue with the controller is established only when the controller requires some information from the main computer (IBE) or an error has occurred. No vector identifier signal needs to be produced when the controller's output buffer is full and is ready to be read by the main computer because the controller places information at its output register only in conjunction with the execution of a read instruction by the slave microprocessor controller; this implies that the main computer already knows the address of the slave microprocessor controller which will execute the read command.
A primary feature of the controller is that it provides an identifying vector to the data terminals of the main computer when the controller generates an interrupt signal. This allows the main computer to identify the slave microprocessor generating the interrupt without polling the controllers. In one embodiment it has been found that producing a vectored interrupt and an acknowledge takes about 2μ seconds while polling takes about 10μ seconds for each controller. Since on the average half of the controllers must be polled before finding the one sending the interrupt signal, the average polling line will be (N�2)�10 msec, where N is the number of controllers. Thus use of these vectored interrupts greatly increases the speed of communication between the main and slave microprocessors in a multi-controller environment.
Another feature of the invention relates to the location of the identifying vector for each controller. In one embodiment a location in the program memory of the microprocessor is reserved for the identifying vector for that microprocessor. The vector is entered into the memory location at the factory and thus remains unchanged. However, in a second embodiment the microprocessor controller is provided a register for the vector. In this situation, at system start-up the main computer writes a different vector into the vector register of each controller. This dynamic allocation of vectors provides a very powerful, flexible tool for the user.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description in which the preferred embodiments have been set forth in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a first embodiment of the stepper motor controller system made according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 of a second embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3A a flow diagram showing the basic operation of the controller and its interaction with a main computer.
FIG. 3B is a partial flow diagram showing the program steps associated with the generation of an output buffer full interrupt signal.
FIG. 4 is a timing diagram for various signals.
FIG. 5 is a pinout representation of the controller of FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a stepper motor controller system 2 is shown and includes broadly a main computer 4, typically a microprocessor, coupled to a number of slave microprocessors 6 through various lines and buses, described below, and a decoder 8. Each controller 6 drives a stepper motor 10 through a driver 12.
Main computer 4 is a demultiplexed microprocessor, such as the Z80 microprocessor made by Zilog of Cupertino, Calif., and has vectored interrupt capability. That is, main computer 4 can receive identifying information, commonly called vectors, at its data terminals 14. Main computer 4 is demultiplexed so that it has separate data terminals 14, labeled D0-7, and address terminals 16, labeled A1-15. Main computer 4 also includes several control terminals 18 and an interrupt terminal 20.
Controllers 6 each include slave control terminals 22 which are coupled to main control terminals 18 by control lines 24, 26 through a control bus 28. Control terminals 22, 18 are used in conjunction with the transfer of data or commands between main computer 4 and controllers 6.
Main controller 6 includes a select terminal 30, labeled CS, which is used to enable or actuate controller 6. Terminal 30 of each controller 6 is connected to decoder 8 through a separate select signal line 32. Decoder 8 is a standard part, such as part no. 74LS138 made by Texas Instruments, and includes a number of input terminals 34, which are coupled to main address terminal 16 through address lines 36. Decoder 8 also includes several output terminals 38 each connected to a different line 32 and control terminals 37 coupled to control bus 28 through lines 39. Decoder 8 applies a low signal to one of several lines 32 according to the multibit address signal received from main address terminals 16 and the control signals at terminals 37.
In the preferred embodiment eight controllers 6 are controlled by a single decoder 8. This requires three address lines 36 from address terminals 16 to input terminals 34 of decoder 8. Eight different signal select lines 32 are connected to eight output terminals 38 of decoder 8. Typically one decoder 8 and eight controllers 6 are mounted to a single board. With an eight bit microprocessor 4, a total of 256 different controllers 6 may be addressed through a decoder 8. However, such a decoder having eight input terminals 34 and 256 output terminals 38 would, for practical reasons, be replaced by a number of decoders, each connected to the three lowest order bits from address terminals 16. Control terminals 37 are used to enable the various decoders 8 according to the value of the five highest order address bits. Therefore as used in this application, a decoder may be a single component having the required number of input and output terminals or a set of decoders arranged to provide the required number of controllers 6.
Interrupt terminal 41, labeled IBE (input buffer empty), is used to interrupt main computer 4 when controller 6 is ready to accept data while interrupt terminal 42, labelled ERR (error interrupt), is used when controller 6 senses a programming error. Terminals 41, 42 are connected to control bus 28 by an interrupt line 46, labeled INT, which is active when low. A line 47, also labeled INT, couples bus 28 to interrupt terminal 20 of main computer 4.
Controller 6 has eight data terminals 48, labeled D0-7 in the figure, which are connected to data terminals 14 of main computer 4 via data lines 50, a system data bus 52 and data lines 54. Data lines 50, 54 and bus 52 allow main computer 4 to send data to controller 6 and also allow controller 6 to send a controller identifier message to main computer 4 whenever an interrupt signal is provided at interrupt terminals 41, 42. This is described in more detail below.
Controller 6 includes four stepper motor terminals 56 at which appropriate signals are produced to drive stepper motor 10 through driver 12. Driver 12 boosts the signals at terminals 56 sufficiently to drive stepper motor 10.
FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention adapted for use with a multiplexed main computer 4' which uses combined address/data terminals 58 for both data and addresses. Stepper motor controller system 2' is similar to stepper motor controller system 2 of FIG. 1 except as follows. Address/data terminals 58, labeled AD0-7, are coupled to a system address/data bus, 60 by lines 54. Decoder 8' has its input terminals 74 coupled to bus 60 via lines 62, rather than directly to address terminals 16 as in the embodiment of FIG. 1. Also, main computer 4' includes two main interrupt terminals 20' as opposed to the single interrupt terminal 20 of the embodiment of FIG. 1. However, systems 2 and 2' operate in substantially the same way.
Turning now to FIGS. 1 and 3A, the operation of controller 6 and its interaction with main computer 4 will be described. Initially controller 6 is in an idle condition. When main computer 4 wishes to activate a particular controller an address is placed at main address terminals 16 for receipt by decoder 8. Decoder 8 then applies a chip select signal along the appropriate line 32 and through an AND gate 62 where it is received by terminal 30 of the appropriate controller 6. This causes that controller 6 to become active. Shortly after providing an address at address terminals 16, main computer 4 provides command/data at data terminals 14 which is captured by the controller 6 which has become active upon receipt of the select signal. This command/data is placed in internal registers within controller 6. Controller 6 then interrogates the command/data to determine if it is a command or data. If it is a command, controller 6 executes the appropriate program in its internal memory; if it is data, the data is stored in a register for use in execution of a command. Data transmitted by main computer 4 to controller 6 is typically the number of steps and step rate for stepper motor 10.
After executing the program in internal memory to interpret the command, controller 6 decides whether or not additional data is needed. If additional data is needed, the controller returns to controller idle condition. If additional data is not needed, the body of the command is executed by the controller. Once the body of the command is completely executed, controller 6 generates an IBE (accept) interrupt signal at terminal 41 and also generates a controller identifier message (vector) at data terminals 48 for transmission to main computer 4. Upon receipt of INT, main computer 4 produces an INTACK (interrupt acknowledge) signal. As described below, the interrupting controller 6 then sends its identifying vector to the main computer 4. This tells the main computer to serve another command/data on the appropriate controller 6 as indicated in the flow chart. Controller 6 then returns to its initial controller idle condition.
The presence of a valid vector at the output register of controller 6, to which terminals 48 are connected, is signalled by an output buffer full (OBF) terminal 64 going high. The OBF signal, in combination with an INTACK (interrupt acknowledge) signal from main computer 4 through control bus 28, produces an RV signal from NAND gate 66 which, when combined with the chip select signal from decoder 8 provides chip select terminal 30 with an active (low) chip select signal. The generation of RV, combined with an IORD (input/output read--as opposed to a memory read) signal from main computer 4 by OR gate 70 produces an RD (read) signal at read terminal 68. After the vector has been read through terminals 48, INTACK becomes inactive (low) which makes RV inactive (high) which causes RD to become inactive (high) which causes OBF to become inactive (low).
In some circumstances, main computer 4 needs data from controller 6, for example, the position of stepper motor 10 or its status, such as whether stepper motor 10 has reached a limit or is stopped. In this case, executing the body of the command results in controller 6 placing this requested data at its data terminals 48. When the body of the command is finished executing, a slight change in the flow diagram of FIG. 3 occurs and is shown in FIG. 3B. At this point, controller 6 provides an OBF (transmit) signal at terminal 64. Although controller 6 could be programmed to provide a controller ID message at data terminals 48, this is not necessary since main computer has requested the data from the particular controller generating the data; thus main computer 6 knows which controller 6 is presenting it data. Controller 6 continues to generate the OBF interrupt until the main computer 4 has read the data from a controller register through data terminals 48. OBF becomes inactive (low) after RD becomes inactive (high). Controller 6 then returns to its idle condition.
FIG. 4 shows the timing and logic states of the IBE, INT, INTACK, OBF and RD signals.
Error signals are provided by controller 6 when a program error is discovered. For example, if two commands in a row are received from main computer 4, as opposed to a command and then data, an error signal will be produced by controller 6 at interrupt terminal 42.
In the preferred embodiment of stepper motor controller system 2, controller 6 is a microprocessor made by Intel Corporation of Santa Clara, Calif., and sold as the Intel 8741 and is programmed to perform the needed functions.
FIG. 5 is a pinout diagram of controller 6 identifying the pin locations and the signal descriptions at each terminal. The following is a brief description of the signals at various terminals.
TABLE 1______________________________________D0-D7 Three-state bidirectional Data Bus used for interfacing to an 8-bit main computer. ##STR1## I/O read input which enables the main computer to read data/status for the controller. ##STR2## I/O write input which enables the main computer to write data to the controller. ##STR3## Signal used by the main computer to specify ##STR4## ##STR5## are transferred to the controller. ##STR6## Chip select input used to select one controller out opf several connected to a common bus. ##STR7## I/O buffer is disabled so the controller keeps running with- out being able to accept any new command. ##STR8## When this input goes Low the motor is brought to a stop. The controller internal registers remain unaltered. This input is tested after ##STR9## generated by a momentary push button.NEGLIM Inputs from an external sensor switch that(POSLIM) detects when the motor has reached the left- most (rightmost) position on X-axis. When one of these inputs goes High, the motor is instantly brought to a stop. Internal con- troller registers remain unaltered. These inputs are tested after each execution of a (half) step. Motion can be resumed after the amin computer issues a specified command followed by the appropriate motion command.CLKOUT Output that occurs once per instruction cycle. Can be used as a strobe for external circuitry. ##STR10## This input from an external switch is used only for specifying the motion direction (Clockwise=Low, Counter-clockwise=High) during the homing of the motor. ##STR11## This is an input from an external sensor switch that goes Low when the motor reaches the home position. This input is tested con- tinuously after executing each step during an "09" command (see Table 2). ##STR12## Output signal which constitutes an ##STR13## It is set back high by an "07" command. ##STR14## The four driving phases of the stepper motor. ##STR15##OBF This output is used to interrupt the main computer when the controller is ready to transfer some data from its buffer register to the main computer.IBE This output is used to interrupt the main computer when the controller is ready to re- ceive some data from the main computer. ##STR16## When a programming error is detected, this output is driven Low and interrupts the main computer. ##STR17## This output is normally High. An "OC" command (see Table 2) drives this output Low (full voltage to the motor coils). An "OB" command drives this output High (holding voltage to the motor coils).X1, X2 Connections to 6 MHz crystal. ##STR18## ##STR19## STPMOD register. High indicates counter- clockwise motion. It gets updated every time a motor motion begins. ##STR20## This output is pulsed Low for two controller clock cycles every time a new motor phase pattern is output.EXTCLK Input used for synchronized driving of several controllers at the same time. ##STR21## This output goes Low when an "Execute Program" command is excuted. "Quit Program Mode" instruction drives it back high.______________________________________
In the preferred embodiment, the controller address, which corresponds to the controller identifier message, is placed in program memory at the factory. This type of controller would likely be identified with a part number designation followed by a -0 through -255, depending upon the controller identifier address placed in memory. Of course, for 16 bit microprocessors a much greater number of different controller identifier addresses is available.
Controller 6 can also be made so that the controller address can be placed in a register of the controller at system start up. In this case, main computer 4 writes a different controller identifier address into the identifier register of each controller at system start-up. Each time the identifying vector of a particular controller is required, the contents of the identifier register of that controller is placed upon the data bus for the main computer to read. This dynamic allocation of controller identifiers provides a very powerful, flexible tool for the user.
Other modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the subject of the invention as defined in the following claims.

I'm trying to read a bunch of HDF5 files ("a bunch" meaning N > 1000 files) using
PyTables and
multiprocessing. Basically, I create a class to read and store my data in RAM; it works perfectly fine in a sequential mode and I'd like to parallelize it to gain some performance.
I tried a dummy approach for now, creating a new method
flatten() to my class to parallelize file reading. The following example is a simplified example of what I'm trying to do.
listf is a list of strings containing the name of the files to read,
nx and
ny are the size of the array I want to read in the file:
import numpy as np
import multiprocessing as mp
import tables
class data:
def __init__(self, listf, nx, ny, nproc=0):
self.listinc = []
for i in range(len(listf)):
self.listinc.append((listf[i], nx, ny))
def __del__(self):
del self.listinc
def get_dsets(self, tuple_inc):
listf, nx, ny = tuple_inc
x = np.zeros((nx, ny))
f = tables.openFile(listf)
x = np.transpose(f.root.x[:ny,:nx])
def flatten(self):
nproc = mp.cpu_count()*2
def worker(tasks, results):
for i, x in iter(tasks.get, 'STOP'):
print i, x
results.put(i, self.get_dsets(x))
tasks = mp.Queue()
results = mp.Queue()
manager = mp.Manager()
lx = manager.list()
for i, out in enumerate(self.listinc):
tasks.put((i, out))
for i in range(nproc):
mp.Process(target=worker, args=(tasks, results)).start()
for i in range(len(self.listinc)):
j, res = results.get()
for i in range(nproc):
I tried different things (including, like I did in this simple example, the use of a
manager to retrieve the data) but I always get a
TypeError: an integer is required.
I do not use ctypes array because I don't really require to have shared arrays (I just want to retrieve my data) and after retrieving the data, I want to play with it with NumPy.
Any thought, hint or help would be highly appreciated!
Edit: The complete error I get is the following:
Process Process-341:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap

Liberal groups getting record numbers to register to vote in state
Record numbers of Wisconsinites are registering to vote spurred mainly by Democrat Barack Obama and the liberal groups who support him.
About 135,000 people have registered for the first time this year, and another 169,000 updated their registrations with new names or addresses.
All told, Wisconsin now has over 3.4 million people signed up to vote this fall. Nat Robinson of the Government Accountability Board says the numbers are higher than ever by all accounts.

Thom Yorke, TVOTR's Tunde, Deerhunter's Bradford Cox Remix Liars
By Ryan Dombal on January 7, 2010 at 11:55 a.m. EST
You know Liars' fifth album, Sisterworld, is out March 9 on Mute. But you didn't know the trio are also releasing an expanded version of the album featuring a bonus disc filled with "remixes and reinterpretations" from a few people you may have heard of. People like Thom Yorke, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Bradford Cox, Melvins, Suicide's Alan Vega, Throbbing Gristle offshoot Chris & Cosey, and Blonde Redhead. (Thom Yorke is in that band Radiohead, btw.)
TVOTR's Tunde Adebimpe, Michel Gondry Draw Their Best David Bowie
By Ryan Dombal on December 11, 2009 at 2:55 p.m. EST
David Bowie hasn't released an original album since 2003's Reality-- it's the longest he's gone without a new LP in his entire career. It's a little disconcerting. But lots of artists are filling the current Bowie gap by drawing the man in his many different guises for The Thin White Sketchbook, an online collection of illustrations compiled by comic artist writer and critic Sean T. Collins. (Via Pitchfork contributor Matthew Perpetua's Fluxtumblr.)
The ongoing project started in 2007 and was just updated with a piece by TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe (above). Check out Bowie sketches from Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale and director Michel Gondry below, and definitely head over to the project's home base to see the 79-pic collection, including pieces by illustrators Adrian Tomine, Bill Plympton, and Seth:
Massive Attack Announce New Album
By Ryan Dombal on November 24, 2009 at 10:50 a.m. EST
Almost seven years after their full studio album, 2003's 100th Window, trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack are ready to release more dubby darkness into the world. Their fifth full-length, Heligoland, is out February 9 via Virgin in the U.S. (February 8 in the UK). (Heligoland is "a small German archipelago in the North Sea," according to our friends at Wikipedia.)
The album features an enviable list of vocal contributors: Damon Albarn, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Elbow's Guy Garvey, Martina Topley-Bird, Hope Sandoval, and Horace Andy. Albarn also plays bass on the track "Flat of the Blade". The Adebimpe-featuring track "Pray for Rain" and the Andy-featuring "Splitting the Atom" were both featured on the recent Splitting the Atom EP.
The Bristol duo also tapped Portishead's Adrian Utley to play guitar on a track, and DFA's Tim Goldsworthy contributed here and there. As previously reported, a Heligoland remix album by none other than Burial is in the works as well.
Heligoland's ten tracks are listed in order below:
Hear Massive Attack's Collaboration With Tunde From TV on the Radio

Massive Attack's new EP Splitting the Atom is out October 6 in the U.S. (October 5 in the UK) via Virgin. That's the surprisingly colorful cover up there. The EP features vocals from Horace Andy, Martina Topley-Bird, and Elbow's Guy Garvey.
Now, you can listen to the release's marquee collaboration, the near-seven-minute "Pray for Rain" featuring TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe. It's dark, it's epic, it's as apocalyptic as you want it to be:
Tunde Adebimpe to Guest on Massive Attack EP
By Tom Breihan on August 25, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. EDT
Bristol trip-hop originators Massive Attack have a new EP coming out on October 5 in the U.S. and the UK, on Virgin. The EP, called Splitting the Atom, will contain four new Massive Attack songs, two of them in remixed form. And all tracks feature a guest vocalist of some note. Given that the group has a stellar record of working with outside vocalists (Liz Fraser on "Teardrop", we see you), this is good news. Details on the new release, via the www.massiveattack.ie fansite and confirmed by Virgin, after the jump. (Thanks to Kevin Krein for the tip.)
Doseone Talks Collabs With Tunde and Mike Patton, Alan Moore, More
By Tom Breihan on August 7, 2009 at 12:40 p.m. EDT
Art-rap veteran Doseone is pretty busy these days. Earlier this year, he reformed Themselves, the group that he and MC/producer Jel started before forming the prog-rap band Subtle. Themselves released the guest-heavy theFREEhoudini mixtape earlier this year and toured a bit, including a stop at SXSW. On October 30, Anticon will release CrownsDown, the first official Themselves full length since 2002's The No Music.
Meanwhile, Dose also put together the Nevermen, a triple-headed supergroup with TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe and avant-rock mogul Mike Patton. They have signed to Lex for the release of their debut album. And along with Fog's Andrew Broder, Dose composed the score for Unearthing, a forthcoming graphic novel from comic book legend Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta). He's also planning another album from 13 & God, the collaborative supergroup that teams Themselves with the Notwist. And he's been teaching a freestyle rapping class in Oakland.
Earlier this week, Pitchfork spoke with Dose about all the irons he's got in the fire. Check it out below.
TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe Goes Solo on 7"
By Matthew Solarski on October 31, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. EDT
Because acting, covering Neil Young a cappella, starting supergroups with Mike Patton and Doseone, and-- oh yeah-- fronting TV on the Radio clearly aren't enough for the guy, Tunde Adebimpe has fired up a little solo project.
Fake Male Voice, as he's calling it, will greet the world by way of a nifty-looking 7" picture disc. It's due December 23 from HEARTFAST, a new label with a Japanese website and a Brooklyn mailing address.
The 7" features "Cou Cou Sous Les Nuages" and the A-side and "OMG!!!FMV!!!" on the B (Tunde sure gets playful when he goes solo, huh?). In addition to the cool picture disc design you see above (B-side) and below (A-side), the set also comes with a DVD that includes music videos Tunde made for both songs, plus one for a third song, "Lone Sum Humm".
"OMG!!!FMV!!!" is described in the charmingly translated press release as a "thrilled song which his sexier soulful voice is mixed with orchestral, 80's visual, even dance music," while "Lone Sum Humm" is noted for its "beautiful chorus and interested visual story explored by toy bat." Well then.
Tunde will slip into a slightly more serious mode as he joins TV on the Radio in Kansas City tonight, and keeps on rolling with the guys into the new year.
TVOTR's Adebimpe Covers Neil Young on Rachel OST
By Paul Thompson on October 7, 2008 at 5:17 p.m. EDT
Film still via IMDB and Sony Pictures Classics
Rachel Getting Married, the Jonathan Demme-directed family drama we mentioned a while back that features a pretty hefty role for TV on the Radio singer and occasional actor Tunde Adebimpe, opened in limited release over the weekend. Initial reviews have been pretty good, but it seems a lot of folks who know their Fugazi as well as their Fellini can't stop talking about a scene in which Adebimpe, sans musical accompaniment, croons his way through Neil Young's Harvest Moon standout "Unknown Legend".
The track leads off the soundtrack to the film, which was released yesterday digitally from Lakeshore Records. In addition to Tunde's take on Young's ode to a very special lady, the set features a pair of tunes from Robyn Hitchcock including one-- "Up to Our Nex"-- that was written specifically for the film. [Via The Playlist.] Rachel Getting Married will get a wider release in the coming weeks.
Tunde will put that impressive set of pipes to use quite a bit through the rest of the year, with his planned project with Mike Patton and Doseone and all those TV on the Radio dates coming down the pipe soon.

Combat casualty care for LEOs
Because the servicemen and women who came under fire at the Soldier Readiness Center at Fort Hood had been recently trained in self-care and buddy-care, the death toll was considerably lower than it could have otherwise been. In this video, SGM Kyle Lamb (ret.) speaks with PoliceOne Senior Editor about the value of having a practical combat casualty care kit while on patrol.

Humorist's Ohio Home On National Register Of Historic Places
The suburban ranch-style home in Ohio where humor writer Erma Bombeck launched her nationally syndicated column has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Listen to the Story
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said he'll seek re-election next year. If voters approve, Coleman would serve a fourth term and would be in office during the city's bi-centennial celebration.
Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman said despite the nation's worst recession since the Great Depression, the city has remained strong. Coleman was able to convince enough voters to pass the city's first income tax increase in 20 years in 2009 which prevented major cuts to city services and layoffs. But Coleman, who said he will seek a fourth term, said there's still a lot business he wants to tackle.
"We need to build our neighborhoods up and continue to make them the strong areas they need to be because neighborhoods are the lifeblood of the city of Columbus," Coleman said.
Coleman said he also wants to focus on the city's crime rate and hire more police. He was first elected in November of 1999 and took office in January of 2000.

Today's Runes for Audrey Hepburn
spread is used at critical turning points, to understand the dynamics of an important decision.
Spirit Runes
are most commonly used for questions about mysticism, spirituality, and religion.
The left rune represents
the first possible outcome
refers to Mankind and your interaction with the whole of human population. This rune is reversed, suggesting a separation from your fellow man. There is a lack of harmony in your interaction with others, either because you do not accept society or society does not accept you. Alternatively, this rune may also represent your separation from nature, and your ability to rise above the base level of being. As the rune is reversed, this may suggest an incomplete level of spiritual attainment or an intellectual block.
The right rune represents
the second possible outcome
means daylight, and represents divine light. This rune generally refers to dawn (the initial sparking of energy) or to midday (the climax of energy). Both dawn and midday are symbolic of change, but unlike the changes in the perpetual circle of the year which are slow and subtle, the changes over a day are much faster and more dramatic. The breaking of a new day is symbolic of the rapid illumination of dismal circumstances, and is suggestive of Satori. Be careful - although this rune generally suggests a positive change, the symbology of a peaking point suggests that there must be a change downward as well. Fortunately for some, this rune is cyclic and irreversible, and so permanence is not promised - the only thing you can be sure of is an exciting ride.
The bottom rune represents
the critical factor
that determines what will come to pass.
is the symbol of the warrior. This rune most represents masculine force and potency, and frequently victory in battle. Beware though, for this rune represents directly the Norse god whose name it bears - Tyr stands out in legend for having sacrificed his hand that he might bind Fenrir, a monstrous wolf that threatens to swallow the world. As such, this rune is known to portend a great victory that can be bought with a terrible sacrifice. Tyr is also the god of law, frequently placed in such position above Odin. In this aspect, protection of justice may be had by this rune.

Once the 30-foot diameter balloon reached 30,000-35,000 feet, strong westerly winds of the upper atmosphere – the jet stream – carried it toward North America.

What's the situation in Texas?
New figures from Britain show more than 5,000 British teens were onto their second abortion. For over 60 British teenagers - it's their fourth abortion.
Today we spoke with Planned Parenthood who says that abortion rates here in the U.S. have been decreasing for the last 30 years.
But they say the number of teens having babies in Texas is pretty high, and the number of teens in Texas having multiple births is higher than anywhere in the nation.
"Nobody likes abortion. But no other organization does more to try to prevent the need for abortions than Planned Parenthood because we are working everyday to make birth control and sexual education information more accessible to everyone and that's for teens and adults alike," said Holly Morgan with Planned Parenthood, North Texas.
Living Alternatives is a pro-life organization with a location in Tyler. Darlene Ryan says that teens tend to make better decisions if there is a strong support system.
"If she has a really strong support system, for herself as an individual, we have found that more of those girls are going to parent and they're going to make better choices for themselves and their babies and you don't tend to find them having multiple pregnancies and multiple abortions," said Darlene Ryan with Living Alternatives.

Crossing Death's Door
Sounds suitably creepy for the season, doesn't it? I finally learned how Door County got it's name. Door County is a peninsula that juts up into Lake Michigan and creates, on its west side, Green Bay (of Packers fame). Off the tip of Door county is an island, Washington Island. Apparently the waters between the peninsula and the island are particularly treacherous and home to many a shipwreck. This earned it the moniker 'port des mortes', or Death's Door, ...

The weather was funny. I think because I was driving either north or south, and the weather system was moving west to east, I kept driving in and out of it.

No worry about falling asleep at the wheel, with all that fussing going on.
