SIMON DUFF: Gang Of Four, one of the most radically important, relevant and well informed groups of the last thirty years, released their first album of new songs for sixteen years earlier in January. Entitled Content, the record sees founding members Jon King and Andy Gill continue to deliver intelligent and liberating music that is both provocative and thrilling. New tracks include "Who Am I?" "You Don't Have To Be Mad," "I Can't Forget Your Lonely Face" and "I Party All The Time," and they reveal Gang Of Four to be just as challenging and unconventional now as they were in 1978.The album is available in a standard CD release and on vinyl. It is also released in a limited edition Ultimate Content Can which contains six booklets, the first containing the new album on CD, the second featuring an art piece Jon and Andy have created to depict the last 40 years of world history (composed of a series of twenty drawings and montages), and subsequently a book of lyrics, a book of Rotoscoped photographs of the band's emotions, a book containing sachets of Jon and Andys' blood and a scratch and sniff booklet which reflects the key areas of human activity. The band are currently on an extensive touring schedule in America and Europe. They play at the Hop Farm Festival on July 2nd.The new single 'Who Am I?' is released on April 18th.Gang Of Four are Jon King (vocals & melodica), Andy Gill (guitar & vocals), Thomas McNeice (bass) and Mark Heaney (drums). Simon Duff spoke to Andy Gill.SD: "Content" is full of a hard hitting political funk sound. How did you approach writing, recording and mixing? How are the rhythm tracks built up?AG: Typically I would put lots of ideas down in my studio, guitar stuff, drum patterns on the computer, then review them and pick out a couple that I feel might inspire Jon. Then Jon would come along and start singing and writing a few words. Then we talk about it, all aspects of it, where the words are going, not just what 'the point' of the words might be, but also how they work with the 'idea of songwriting', how they draw attention to that. Then I'll edit it, and then we might play what we have with Thomas and Mark; rehearse it, demo it. Then I'll start recording it, trying to get a good drum take, bass take. I'll do the guitar many times till I think I have a good approach.I think sometimes it just boils down to the undeniable impulse to make things. When those things have a meaning, when they are cultural artifacts, that's even better.We have always been obsessed with groove and to make all the elements work equally together, side by side.We make music where every segment plays an equally important part, but has a relentlessness that takes you somewhere else. It s supposed to get under your skin and make your brain dance. It can, and does, become part of peoples DNA.Its purpose is to resonate with people; sometimes to be a rallying cry, sometimes to explain ourselves.SD: In the press release for "Content" you are keen to stress all the band had an intense contribution. How as a collective how did you democratically achieve this?AG: The songs are written by Jon and me. But I want the feel that Thomas and Mark bring to it. They are both great musicians and they both play with an urgency, an aggressive edge, which helps mould the character of the recording. I always listen to everything they have to say about how they feel their parts should be and work very closely with them. It really is a question of every note being under the microscope. In the end, it's all about being human. How we see ourselves, and how we see the world we have created for ourselves.SD: What are the lyrics for 'You'll Never Pay for the Farm' about?AG: We are always wary of saying what we think a set of lyrics is about as we believe that authors are intrinsically unreliable witnesses and what they think they're writing about may turn out to be about something else, or that the meaning floats around and changes depending on context.That said, the words come from somewhere and in this case the title comes from a phrase has a few different meanings, something we always look for, that has resonance, like the album title "Content". Soldiers used to say, when someone was killed in combat, that he bought the farm" and we commonly say that some of the (usually more repetitive) work we do, "pays for the farm". We were writing this as the financial crisis exploded a few years back, the extraordinary scenes in the US with its storm of foreclosures and bankruptciesBut this is only one angle on the song; it also describes a person. we had a real person in mind initially but then the song evolved into something else. I think Gang of Four fans are smart enough to work out their own interpretations, which are probably sharper than ours.SD: What are the lyrics for 'A Fruitfly in the Beehive' about?AG: It's a set of questions posed by someone who feels that everyone else has a pre-determined or over-determined function and role in the world and doesn't want to play ball or feels apart from this drudgery. what if, in a hive of bees, you were a fruitfly?SD: Can you talk about the variety of vocal combinations and vocal sounds used in the album?AG: We have always been interested in different voices playing a part in the songs. Only a minority of our songs is sung with one voice and one point of view. We loved the way 'the band' used different voices in their songs - one minute Rick Danko, the next Manuel or Robertson. We like our songs to a, be like little dramas or short stories, one or two characters and often, the voice of a narrator, and b, to have an internal commentary or critique or explanation so that the internal workings [words and voices and instruments and ideas] are made clear.It then makes sense to treat the different vocals each with a differentiated sound.SD: What innovative technology do Gang of Four use for guitar sounds?AG: Over the years I've tried to not use too much effects. And it seems to be getting simpler as time goes on. I have little tricks for getting certain sounds but really I just plug it in, use a plastic pick, turn the amp up half way, and hit the strings in the correct waySD: You both studied art. Does contemporary art and painting still inspire and inform your approach to music today?AG: We draw inspiration from everywhere. Overheard conversation, T.V. film, books, adverts, news, and politics. We don't especially get that much from contemporary art and painting.SD: For the special edition of "Content" released in a can you have given away some samples of your own blood. What is the intention behind this?AG: It's a play on authenticity in the age of digital reproduction. Something that can't be downloaded. It is also a riposte to the peer to peer people. We work very hard to make our music and they would have it for no payment - so , 'What do you want, blood?'The record is called Content, in recognition of the way every creative form has been reduced to just that: content, the obligatory filling for the advertising sandwich. So we decided to make a box with contents, or rather a metal can. It reminded us a little of Manzoni's canning of his own excrement [Artist's Shit 1961]."SD: How can music redefine itself in the future to engage with a new radical political agenda?AG: The hopelessness of the labour movement and the reinvigorated Tories of the 70s created a huge polarisation in the UK. The slow defusing of that situation, along with the fall of the USSR, let people believe the erroneous myth that ' history was over '. Politics became unfashionable from the mid 80s onwards. I think it's only in the last few years that people are realising that's not the case.With hindsight, what we did was to make our own language out of all the stuff we had to hand, in a kind of hurried response to, and analysis of, the world around us – both the trivial mundane and the shockingly radical. If I were to tell someone how to do it now I would say rule one is to not just think about music.www.gangoffour.co.uk

Strt Cpl Seeks Male 4 3some - Read Essays 4 Detail
About myself
I'm a straight but open-minded male (see next section) that enjoys the company of others... female or couples. The happiest years of my life were spent with a bisexual lady... I married her. She died at too young an age. I enjoy nudity (with or without sex). I am willing to be the nude manservant for your parties or gathering, even if I am the only one who is nude. I don't mind being fondled and enjoy voyuer so will masturbate for others if requested.
The person I would like to meet
Ultimately, I will like to meet an open-minded lady (straight or bi) who will enjoy nudity with me whenever and wherever nudity can be enjoyed. She can be of any age, but should have some energy and enjoy getting out to do stuff. Those monster roller coasters don't scare me! Until I can have surgery and receive a penile implant, I know I will have difficulty in giving a hard erection to my lady whenever her needs want one, so am willing to share our bodies with others as long as we are both together (3-some or 4-some), but our hearts must belong ONLY to each other.
Seeking an open-minded m/f couple whose male half won't mind if I masturbate while I watch him pleasure his woman since I am impotent. Though I am impotent, I do enjoy being touched or receiving oral from a female. Discretion assured when necessary.
I enjoy masturbating for females of all ages, race, color, religion, etc., as I watch them watching me. If you are female and would like to watch me masturbate but are uncomfortable to be with me if we have not previously met, bring along a friend or two and they can watch too.
About my work
Distributor of Automotive Refrigerant and Musician/DJ. During warm months, am busier (obviously), but provide a drop-in replacement refrigerant that is 4 times colder than 134A refrigerant and uses about 30% less amount due to its larger molecules. I take pride in the product that is compatible to blend with R12 and R134. As musician, I have enjoyed playing music since a teenager and liven up most any party.
The only dislike about the daily grind is the large percentage of people, not so open-minded. Europeans enjoy open nudity and think nothing of it. If this United States is the best country in the world, why are we so closed-minded here?
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I have the nickname of Fingers Felix given by a band I used to play keyboards for. You can find me with that name most everywhere. I still fill in with bands for musicians that can't make the gig. I also deejay for dances and parties.
And I enjoy naturalism. I enjoy going to Gunnison (clothing optional) Beach in New Jersey. Have been to Cap d'Agde (France+. Hope to one day visit Barcelona or Vera Playa .
My idea of a great date
A great date is one that ends with a warm embrace and ever-so-soft kiss, ending with both of us looking into each other's eyes and know we will be seeing each other again and again.
If you are divorced/widower, you can talk about how that happened here.
Daily arguments, foul language, etc drove me away. If you like to argue, please go to another profile. If you like to have a good time doing different things, ...EVEN if you like things that you think others might not like... SEND ME A MESSAGE. I like to do different things. I even like to do DIFFERENT things!
What is your fantasy vacation?
Going to Vera Playa, Spain, or taking an adult fantasy cruise. spending a week in Mykonos, Greece and Paradise Beach.
What is your academic background?
Business Administration, Bible Theology, Music
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
Last vacation was a cruise to Bermuda. It was fantastic! Update: Went to Cap d'Agde, France for a full week in May 2009. It was an experience of a lifetime!
What do you find attractive in people?
I find people attractive who are not ashamed of who they are. It doesn't matter what other people think or you, it only matters what YOU think of you. I like a sense of humor, and openmindedness. You don't have to enjoy everything in the world, but accept that some people enjoy things that others don't. This means you don't need to enjoy all the things I enjoy as long as you don't mind if I enjoy the things I enjoy.
What do others do that irritate you?
Some quickly condemn people for what or who they are without really knowing much about them. Perhaps sometimes you don't need to know much about them to condemn them??? But everyone has good points and bad points. I find it irritating when a woman likes a guy, only to try to change him into what she is looking for. Just go find what you are looking for instead of making him change and be unhappy... he'll eventually just leave one day anyhow, to be who he really is..
What do you think is your best quality?
Being able to find good in everyone. And wherever I go, I make people smile or laugh. And if I make you smile or laugh, what did I say or do wrong???
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I wish I was not so hypricritical about some things... example: I enjoy bisexual women but don't enjoy intimacy with bisexual men. I am probably missing out on some very good times, but just can't bring myself to join in intimacy with another man. But when with a bisexual couple, I keep an open mind and participate as much as I can bring myself to.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
I think the only way you can really find out what somebody is like is to just meet them and find out for yourself. So if you are really interested in me, let me know from the start when and where you would like to meet to get to know each other.
Describe your physique.
Look at my photos and decide for yourself. If you want to see more of me, message me for my addy with what you would like to see.
What do you do well sexually?
Because my late first wife was bisexual, I was taught, told and SHOWN how to use my tongue on a woman and bring any female to quivering orgasms. Want some?
What is the favorite thing you like sexually done to you?
I like different things depending on the mood or atmosphere. In most any mood or atmosphere, I like the kinkiness of having a sexual activity done when female friends or relatives suddenly appear and catch us (especially if I don't know them) but my partner doesn't stop until finished. Rowwlllllllleerrrrrrrr! (wink)
What fantasy(s) are you still waiting to experience?
threesome with a mother/daughter or with biological sisters.
What fantasy(s) have you already experienced?
Have had four females all spend an entire night of sex with me. It was supposed to be two females for each guy, but the other guy left in embarrassment when he had erectile difficulty.
Do you have any STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases)?
I am clean and intend to keep it that way.
Are you looking for a one night stand, to play for a while, or a long-term Adult relationship?
It depends on who I meet. I would love to meet someone who enjoys nudity and has an open mind, who will become my best friend ad stay with me forever... well, at least until I die.
Free Space. Say anything you want!
I own my house and would love to find a lady to be my best friend, live with me and be happy. I hope to get a penile implant to enable me to have erections again, but to keep my lady from cheating on me, am willing to have 3-somes with another guy (4-somes with another couple) so she can enjoy having a well hung guy with no erection problems, give her what she needs

Why play more than 3 notes in major chords?
Ok, I am learning some theory, I understand how you construct chords (major) is that you take the root note (e.g.) C and apply the major interval pattern to it
Where C is 1, E is 3 and G is 5.
Now, what I don't get is why do you play 5 strings for the C chord (simple open chord) when all you want to play are the 3 notes that make up the chord? :confused:
I.e. you play CEGCE if I'm not mistaken. What am I missing??
Or for example;
D Major chord consists of (if I'm not mistaken) D, F# and A. So then why we need to play DADF#?
You are only playing 3 notes. C, E and G.
Including some of those notes twice doesn't mean you're playing 5 notes, it just repeats a couple of those notes to provide a fuller sound.
But isn't the "second" note you are playing for the C chord in the next octave?
I mean; of the CEGCE, isn't the C and E in the next octave?
And if we do play the notes in the next octave, then why do we not play the G of the first octave?
Have a look here.
The open chords are voiced in a way that gives them the fullest sound while being strummed on a guitar. For example, you could strum out a basic E major triad, but it probably wouldn't sound as powerful as an open E major chord.
It comes down to preference, tradition, and musical relevance...and a plethora of other considerations.
When you started out on guitar you probably learned to play a lot of simple songs using open chords. You'll notice that those voicings on the guitar sound "full". If you were to reduce those chords to 3 note voicings you'd immediately notice the loss of "density" in the arrangement.
It's all about the musical situation.
If you're singing with an acoustic guitar, you probably want a dense-widely voiced to fill out the space. Whereas, if you're playing chord stabs in an alt. rock song over a distorted rhythm guitar you may want really barebone 3-note or 2-note voicings.
If you sit down and play around with inverting triads, doubling specific notes, and spreading the voicing out over multiple octaves you'll immediately start to notice a distinct difference in each sonority's inherent characteristics and possible uses.
I remember years ago when I started learning how to build chords. One of my first questions was related to how the notes above the root were ordered. The simple fact is that a chord doesn't need to be laid out on the staff or on your instrument the way it's conceptualized on paper.
Just because C major is spelt: C E G, doesn't mean that you have to play a close voiced C major chord in one octave. You could play C G E, C G E C, C E C G...there are limitless options, and they're mostly related to voice leading (how chords move between one another) and what density you're looking for in a musical situation.
Because a guitar has 6 strings, therefore we can
There's little point constructing an instrument that's capable of playing 6 notes simultaneously otherwise. :shrug:
I think there are things called 3 note chords if you do not like the sound of the whole chord.
The added notes give he chord a "whole" sound by the way. You can also modify the "extra octave" notes if you wish to add notes like making it a 7 chord or something to change the voicig (style you play).
You can play the notes in whatever order and it's still C major chord. You can also play C major chord in many different positions. Sometimes it sounds best when E is the highest note. Sometimes you want C or G to be the highest note.
Let's look at it this way: In a pop group there are three instruments (guitar, bass and piano) playing at the same time. By your logic every instrument could only play one note.
You can leave some notes out of the chord. I sometimes don't play full chords and mute some of the notes of the basic open chords. It depends on what sound I'm looking for. For example I don't like playing the major third in open G major chord. I play it like this 3x0033 because I like it that way. That chord isn't a major chord, it's only a power chord but I prefer its sound to 320033 or 320003.
You can try finding chords with only three notes. For example F major: xx321x. But it won't sound as full as 133211. Or C major: x320xx.
I usually listen to the melody and try to have the note in the melody as the highest note in my chord. You can use other positions for the chords than just the open position.
You don't have to do anything. You can just use the 3-note voicing if you want. Or, you could do a full 6 string voicing: 3 3 2 0 1 0 or 8 10 10 9 8 8. Or anything in between. You could even omit notes, and it'll still be that chord if the context suggests it.
Just experiment with different voicings to hear how the different doublings affect the sound. It's all preference and depends on the context.
In terms of three-note full voicings, you could do any of the following (and more): x 3 2 0 x x -- x x x 0 1 0 -- 8 7 5 x x x -- x x x 9 8 8 -- 8 10 x 9 x x -- x 10 10 9 x x -- x 3 5 x 5 x -- x x 5 5 5 x
It's also good to know all the different voicings. That way you have more sounds to choose from, not just the basic open chord positions, and your playing becomes more interesting to listen to.
You're missing the most important part: listening.
CEG sounds different from CEGCE.
Sometimes people don't play all the notes. A lot of heavy-metal chugging is just playing on the bottom three strings (although still doubling a note once).
You don't "need" DADF#, but it sounds different from D F# A or D A F#.
Listen. Playing more notes gives you a fuller harmony, takes up more space. That's not always what you want but it's a good place to start from.
Why say "crimson" when you mean "red". Yes you are playing the same three notes, but different orders (voicings) give a different feel

That's like asking why some bands have 2 guitarists. If you put in more than the bare minimum, you get more in return. If you just play the 3 notes needed to make the chord, it sounds pretty weak in comparison to doubling some of the notes.
Steven gave the right answer: because we can. That's not a flippant response, either. Piano players can hit notes with all ten fingers; ergo they tend to add in bass notes and do more than just the "basic triad". (The standard E chord that was the first chord you learned is a triad, despite using all six strings. By "basic triad", I mean something with just three strings for exactly three notes, none of which are repeated or repeated in other octaves.)
Sometimes the bare minimum is what sounds good, though. Everyone has been trying to convince you to play more than just the "basic triad" and with good reason. Don't let that keep you from doing the basic triad in an appropriate context (which you determine), though.
The Who's "Substitute", is a classic example of mixing 3 note triads, a bunch of open chords, and some chugging on the bottom end at the open position.
There's really only 4 chords in the songs, but they're played at different positions.
The descending chords in the intro, (D,A,G,D, I believe), are all 3 notes, descending down the neck, very stinging and trebly. Then he kinda just bangs on some open chords, and chugs with some bass riffs in the open position.
As to your example of C major being 5 notes in the open position, for me it's 6 notes. I include the G on E-6 also. When you finger the chord that way, it leaves you to easily work in what they used to call a, "break the monotony bass line", going up the scale, from the G to the C on the A-5 string, (or vice-versa).
And yes boys and girls, the same bass run in reverse C, B, A, (sans the G), is the famous riff from, "Stairway to Heaven". It tracks the bass note in the chord change which is, C, Em, Am.
So, what's the problem with using all the strings you have at your disposal?
The low E on the guitar is about 83 Hz, so basically you're playing your own bass accompaniment, with your 3 note chords above it.
Your example of D major open can also be fingered thus:
e-1 X
It's oftentimes fingered this way to introduce a descending bass line, G, F#, E), in the chord progression G, D, Em. It nets a common bass pattern, G (root of G Maj), F# (3rd of D Maj), and E (root of Em).
You know, using that logic, pianists should play all 88 keys at the same time, because otherwise there would be no point in making an 88-phonic (or whatever) instrument. ;)
(The author of this post is really enjoying his trolling... :haha: )
Ah, but we can play all 6 strings at once with the average number of limbs and digits the average human posseses ;)
And we can play 10 notes on a piano if we feel like it.
Of course on both instruments there's more notes we could be playing, but that doesn't change what we can play, and on a guitar 6 notes at once is absolutely something we can all play if we choose :)
no those extra notes are just safeties.
like your only supposed to hit the last 3 strings on the d chord but the guy that invented guitar made it so that if you hit the fourth string by accident it's still ok.
but don't do it too often or you lose points.
people talk about how notes/chords have "colors". different voicings (doubled or octave chord tones, omitting notes, different inversions, different positions on the neck, etc) are different shades of those colors. one way to look at it.

I believe that social networks bring us both challenges and opportunities. For challenges, we are faced with the Information Overload. It is difficult to find out information we really need, in the limited time and from so big user-generated data. To overcome this challenge, personalized recommendation is an effective way to assist information access. Different from traditional recommendation techniques, recommendation in social networks can be benefited from the rich social media, such as tags and social structures.
For opportunities, much knowledge can be discovered from rich social media, especially from the big user-generated text data. There are many interesting topics is this area, such as tracking and reasoning online sentiment changes based on Twitter text stream, summarizing users' comments or reviews, and extracting social interaction networks from descriptive text.

Folklore and Fascism: The Reich Institute for German Volkskunde
Indiana University Press, 1994 - Social Science - 308 pages
Folklore and Fascism explores the genesis of the Reich Institute for German Folklore during World War I and the time of the Weimar Republic. When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, they recognized that such an organization could serve their purposes of coordinating the political and social orders. When the Nazis gave their support to the formation of the Institute, respected folklorists were swept up in this movement, which promised a realization of their dreams of a pan-German Folklore Center. Lixfeld discusses numerous folklorists in this volume, but special attention is paid to scholars such as John Meier and Adolf Spamer, who had long nurtured and promoted the idea of a Reichsinstitut but assumed an ambiguous stance in their dealings with the fascists. Lixfeld shows that two of the most powerful Nazi ideologists seized on the idea of such an institute and detailed plans to implement it. Alfred Rosenberg, the Commissioner for the Supervision of All Intellectual and World View Schooling and Education of the NSDAP, worked toward an advanced school that would help to implement the Reichsinstitut. Heinrich Himmler, who ran the rival SS Office of Ancestral Inheritance, was also involved in the plan to set up the Institute. Their purpose was always quite clear: the creation of a vehicle for disseminating the new National Socialist world-view. Lixfeld documents how ""respectable"" German folklorists willingly worked with the Nazis, paving the way for an inhuman concept of the ""volk"" and the nation. Nazi archival documents he uncovered in the former East Germany explode the myth of ""two German folklores"" - a folklore of willing Nazi collaborators and one of unwitting collaborators.

I'd be interested in hooking up a webcam and using roborealm. Do you have any tutorials about that on the site here?
On other websites and robot kits ive seen people use different sensors that you angle towards the front and it follows a moving object, then if it gets to close it drives backwards.
The magazine Robot also had a previous article on a robot called Follow-me. it was based on measuring the ambient temperature and then "tracked" targets with temperature within a specific threshold regime. it had a linear array of IR receivers in different bands (if I remember right) to estimate temperature.

Our People of the CenturyTony DiTomo:A Symbol of Vineland Sports
For six decades, Tony DiTomo and Vineland High School athletics seem to go hand in hand.
For his days as a three-sport star for the Poultry Clan, to his years as the Fighting Clan's athletic director, Vineland sports seemed to run in DiTomo's veins.
Growing up in Vineland in the 1920s and '30s, DiTomo was in sandlot circles as an athletic force. The reputation went with him to high school, where he played football, baseball, and wrestling.
His greatest success came on the gridiron, where he led the Poultry Clan to three straight sectional championships, including the 1939 undefeated squad.
After graduating in 1940, DiTomo attended Temple before going into the armed services for World War II. After the war, he finished his schooling at Wake Forest before returning to Vineland to teach. And coach.
For 40 years, DiTomo was active in the Vineland sports scene, both on the high school and recreation level. He was a founding member of the city's Recreation Council, and served 25 years.
He was Vineland's football coach from 1950-'52. He also coached the tennis and wrestling teams. He's in the South Jersey Wrestling Hall of Fame.
DiTomo started the Monogram Club, a group honoring all varsity letter winners at the high school, and he later launched the VHS All-Sports Booster Club.
DiTomo, who served as Athletic Director for 17 years, is responsible for upgrading many of the facilities at the Chestnut Avenue campus. He helped build an indoor pool at the 9-10 building and 12 tennis courts between the North and South buildings.
DiTomo, 79, retired in 1989. He still lives in Vineland and is seen at many Fighting Clan functions.
