![]() ![]() In 2015, Temple made The Ecstasy Of Wilko Johnson. Neither Temple, nor Johnson could have known then that there would be a sequel. It was superb one of the best ‘rockumentaries’ ever committed to tape and Wilko’s extraordinary personality shone bright. In 2009, Julien Temple made a film about Dr Feelgood entitled Oil City Confidential. Sadly, at the very back, you can see virtually nothing at all, so always best to get there early. The stage is extremely low so at the very front you feel practically on top of the talent. The empire is a lovely venue and a great place to take photographs. In fact, it’s safe to say he was more upright than the letters which formed his name outside. He was in fine form, skittering left and right, much as he had before his enforced layoff. Wilko’s first ‘real’ return to the stage came the following spring at the Shepherds Bush Empire. And just in case you’re wondering why he’s not with his signature black Telecaster with the red scratch plate he’s playing Chas Jankel’s Tele instead. It was only a few months after his surgery and whilst he was obviously still quite frail, it was the best Christmas present I received that year for sure. Given those connections, there were rumours circulating in the venue that Wilko might be there but even so, when he appeared at the end for a couple of encores, I really couldn’t believe it. Norman has been stage left to Wilko’s stage right ever since. He held a brief position in it from 1980, where he made the acquaintance of ace bassist Norman Watt Roy. Wilko has a strong connection with the band. They had a habit of doing a Christmas show there and by now I was establishing a habit of snapping it. I was actually at a Blockheads (as in, Ian Dury and the) gig at The Jazz Café in Camden. My first opportunity to photograph Wilko came in December 2014. All of a sudden, those photographs I didn’t expect to take, mean a great deal more. ![]() The outpouring of emotion I’ve seen in both the mainstream and in social media in the last few days has been really moving and it’s comforting to realise just how much Wilko clearly meant to so many people. ![]() It was announced this week that Wilko passed away at home on Monday evening. I’m really pleased to be able to say that I never took an evening in Wilko Johnson’s company for granted ever again. Each one of those times felt like a precious gift opportunities I certainly didn’t expect to receive. In the end, I did get to photograph him after all quite a number of times in fact. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that my second thought, which arrived not long after, was that maybe I might get to photograph Wilko after all… So, when it came to pass that his initial diagnosis was wide of the mark and through the expertise of cancer specialist Charlie Chan and surgeon Emmanuel Huget, he was given a second chance at life, I’m pleased to report that my first thought was to be delighted for him. Wilko was obviously the person who mattered here. Of course, to think like this was an act of extreme self-indulgence. The theory in my head was that if an artist I loved could be so cruelly taken away from me like this, then who might be next? I suddenly wanted those permanent, tangible memories. I’d seen Wilko play many, many times, but had no permanent, tangible memories. In essence, it was his terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis in late 2012 and the (apparent) sure knowledge that I wouldn’t ever see him play again beyond his ‘farewell’ tour in early 2013 that made me want to document live music. Oct 9th – Komedia, Brighton Wilko Johnson Tickets are onsale now.I’ve written before in these pages about how it came to be that the iconic Dr Feelgood guitarist, Wilko Johnson sparked a second career for me in music photography. Wilko Johnson UK Tour Dates are as follows: Special guest on the tour is award-winning blues guitarist/singer Ian Siegal. Johnson will be joined by Norman Watt-Roy on bass and Dylan Howe on drums. In 2009, Johnson starred in Julien Temple’s “Oil City Confidential,” a feature film documentary about Dr. Feelgood, and recently starred in HBO's fantasy TV series “Game of Thrones.” Known for their electrifying concerts, their first two albums, 'Down by the Jetty' (1974) and 'Malpractice' (1975), were immensely popular and their 1976 live album, 'Stupidity' went to Number One in the UK’s official album chart.īy the time Dr. Feelgood released their 1977 fourth album, 'Sneakin’ Suspicion', Johnson left the group and to pursue a solo career, and joined Ian Dury and the Blockheads in 1980. Wilko first made his name in 1971 when he formed Dr. Feelgood a British pub rock band from Canvey Island, Essex. Wilko Johnson, guitarist and founding member of Dr. Feelgood, who has influenced everyone from Joe Strummer, Mick Jones to Steve Albini, starts his nationwide UK tour at the Edinburgh Caves this Thursday, September 15th. ![]()

![]() ![]() Hopefully it’s the beginning of many more PJ Morton love songs to come as we head into the fall. That’s all it is: When you’re truly better together, you fight to keep it that way.Ī modern day classic, “Please Don’t Walk Away” radiates with a timeless passion. He captures, so simply and yet so eloquently, the power of that magic spark: How our loved one heals us and makes us better than we could possibly imagine, and leaves us in a state of disrepair when they’re not around. The title sets the scene, but Morton’s emotional lyrics and sentimental vocal performance tell the real story of love and heartbreak, connection and redemption. There will be no more tears today, hey hey. Where the night swears its love to the stars. And as it happens sometimes, something beautiful came from something tragic.” PJ Morton © Shon Gibbs I hope you can heart my heart I hope it’s speaking cleatly, mm-hmm, mm-hmm I don’t wanna be apart I just want you near me, oh no, no, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh Even though weve been dancing on broken glass, Parade all your memories, for the moments we shared. “It came from a real place when I thought I was going to lose the love of my life. “‘Please Don’t Walk Away’ is in the spirit of when men were honest and willing to be vulnerable in music,” he explains. Morton’s first solo release since winning the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Gospel Album (his third consecutive GRAMMY win in three years!) feels like an old classic, with the drums’ soft backbeat, lilting keys, sweet horns and stirring guitars creating a dreamy backdrop for the song’s heavy-hearted romantic reverie.įor Morton, this song truly comes from and speaks to the heart. I ache for him when I go away for two hours. Released Octovia Morton Records / EMPIRE, “Please Don’t Walk Away” is a moody, moving indulgence of chilling R&B and scintillating soul. As we saw her friends and showed off our baby, it dawned on me how rich it. Refrain If you wanna leave Go ahead and leave, baby One thing that I found out I can't have one woman, gotta have three One woman just to hold me down One woman just to lift me up (Oh yeah) And. Please Don’t Walk Away – PJ Morton It’s never gone this far It’s never been this bad But I won’t let it erase the memories Of good times we’ve had Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh And even with everything, mm That we’ve been going through Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah You never have to ask me I still, choose you Oh girl, mm-hmm Please, don’t walk away From my love, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (yeah) Please, don’t walk away From my love, mm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm Radiantly tender and intimately expressive, “ Please Don’t Walk Away” is beautiful and painful all at once – a reminder that love is a bond we must continuously work at, nurture, and devote ourselves to throughout our lifetimes together.

The restoration project received sponsorship from varied sources and attracted much interest from the community. To preserve the structure against further deterioration and to commemorate its centenary, restoration work was done in 1989 by the City Council and the main contractor for the project, Fletcher Development. Built in 1869, it is the second-oldest water tower. The tower was constructed to house a large water pump, intended to draw water from Lake Michigan. The cupola was removed in 1934 and by the late 20th century some of the brick and plaster work had eroded. The tower is located at 806 North Michigan Avenue along the Magnificent Mile shopping district in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois in a small park, the Jane M. ![]() ![]() That amount equals the same amount in what I would consider to be the “new generation” of energy drinks: Bang, Reign, etc., which all seem to focus on maximizing caffeine content over everything else. That puts it on the higher end of the caffeine spectrum…as a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve seen anything in a supermarket that tops that. Let’s end with a solid positive: these come standard with a whopping 300mg of caffeine. I know I wouldn’t be able to drink it in one sitting. However, for those looking to maximize their energy, and who need the full 300mg pickup of a full can all at once, it might be a much bigger issue. That wasn’t too much of an issue for me, considering I generally only drink half a can (or sometimes even less) at a time by the time it started getting too saccharine for my tastes, I was about to put the can away anyway. I will say that, although it doesn’t quite cross the line into “overly sweet” – at least initially – the more and more I drank, the harder I had to try forcing it down. That brings me to another plus: it’s sugar free! I used to hate sugar free energy drinks because of the aforementioned aftertaste, but after realizing that sugared drinks were making me feel even worse once the caffeine rush wore off, they are the only ones I buy. It’s very sweet – almost to a fault – although it is fairly impressive that there’s really no distinguishable “diet” aftertaste that you usually get with sugar-free drinks. Yeah, tastes about what you’d expect, with a strong blue raspberry flavor that’s very familiar to pretty much anyone who’s ever had blue raspberry candy before. Oh yeah, the scent is getting even stronger…I have a weak sense of smell and it keeps seeping toward my nostrils even though I’m a fairly good distance away…I don’t know if that’s reassuring or not. But I feel it’s my duty to try these things so you don’t have to, and that’s why I’m sitting here wondering whether or not to even try this thing. ![]() I have to admit that the idea of blue raspberry in drink form is not exactly something that has ever excited me – even in the national brand energy beverage – so this isn’t exactly appealing to me either. Well, this smells exactly like what you think you’re getting into, with a very strong, very sweet candylike raspberry. At any rate, we’ll start off by taking a look at the blue raspberry, because I have slightly higher hopes for this one. ![]() I do have a very sweet palate, but I do not enjoy drinks that are based off candy flavors, so I don’t have hope for either. I have to be honest here: both of these flavors sound disgusting. Gridlock energy drinks have finally crept up to $1.09 after staying at $.99 for years…not too shabby at a time when prices on everything seem to be skyrocketing. ![]() I give Aldi energy drinks a lot of flack, but one thing I do have to give them credit for: they’re pretty consistent about maintaining their price points. Ampli, which I’m assuming is a shortened version of “Amplify”, offers up two different flavors – cotton candy and blue raspberry – for just a mere 99 cents each. ![]() ![]() There's a difference between knowing the game mechanics and understanding how to utilise them. "if games teach you everything in tutorials then where is trial and error?" What makes it even worse is that the tutorial doesn't teach the player everything, giving a false impression that the player has learned all the game mechanics when he has finished the first few chapters. Valkyria Chronicles - DirectX function - Fatal Error: Direct3D - createpixelshader Steamapi. Games like Valkyria Chronicles usually do. Valkyria Chronicles - Some fixes and learn how to fix starting errors. ![]() Grand strategy games rarely have extensive tutorials. A person can still be a total idiot when it comes to grand strategy games even if he knows what every slider does. If you have no idea how barbarian hordes works in EU Rome then it's the same thing you don't know how range affects damage in Valkyria Chronicles.Įven if you understand the game mechanics it doesn't mean you have mastered the game. Before you know how to play the game these decisions can often be wrong. ![]() The difficulty comes when you have to take so many little details into consideration when making decisions. The game has moderately steep learning curve (when compared to other generic strategy-orientated games), but that doesn't make the game hard, it just makes it slow to learn. If games teach you everything in tutorials then where is trial and error? Never played Victoria 2 but I own Europa Universalis Rome. Originally posted by Edwardlloyd:so if paradox games like victoria 2 actually tought you game mechanics on tutorials it would have a mild learning curve and it would be easy then :) because you know their games are all about playing hours and hours and learning mechanics. ![]() ![]() ![]() When it doesn’t work your Help menu would look like this and when it does work it would look like this. Open Illustrator and click on the Help menu. Ways of knowing if the tutorial worked/didn’t worked: If when Illustrator finishes loading it asks you for a serial number or to continue as a trial, the tutorial didn’t work. (your folder should contain both the amtlib.dll and the amtlib1.dll)įor some reason when I opened Illustrator the loading logo says “Tryout”. If you decided to rename your amtlib.dll you should have two.I would personally recommend you to rename it, that way if you decide you want to buy Illustrator you can just erase the amtlib.dll and rename the amtlib1.dll back to its original name. *NOTE: You can either rename your amtlib.dll to amtlib1.dll or replace the files. Locate the Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 bit) or Adobe Illustrator CS6and open it.*NOTE: My computer is operating on 64 bit. If you choose to install both versions of Illustrator you can add the amtlib.dll to both folders: Program Files and Program Files (x86). But again this depends on the system your computer is operating. For some of you there might be two folders, I clicked on Program Files. Locate your “ Program Files” folder and click on the one corresponding to your system.In your “Hard Disk Drives”, click on Local Disk (C:).Go to your “ Computer” located in your Start Menu.Now that you have Photoshop installed, lets get to the amtlib.dll Finish the installation, this will take another 30-35 minutes.You’ll have the options to choose what to install (you can install both or just one depending of your operating system: computer> right click > properties > system type).Accept the Adobe Software License Agreement.Click on “ Try: I want to try Adobe Illustrator CS6 for a limited time”.Click on the Set-Up file, a box will pop-up (it usually takes about 2-3 minutes to finish).The downloading takes approximately 2 hours. ![]() If you can’t find Illustrator, look at the All Products column in the Show Me section select Desingand click on download Illustrator. Once the file has finished downloading, the Adobe Download Assistant will open, enter your email and password (or use the one provided above).Go to the Adobe Official site (if the set-up file I provided didn’t work) and click on download.(if you know how to install it, feel free to skip these steps. I will now try to walk you through the installation process (please observe as i fail). You must install as a trial, because I WON’T be providing you with a serial number.It will ask you for your account info about 3 times during the entire installation process.Which is why I’m providing you with the adobe account. **NOTE: I can only provide the set-up for Illustator, take into account that it might NOT work for everyone.
