A pochi mesi dall’annuncio del concerto del 20 novembre all’Alcatraz di Milano, che ha registrato il sold-out in poche ore – Ed Sheeran torna nel nostro paese per due ulteriori show, a gennaio 2015: il 26 al Palalottomatica di Roma, e il 27 al Mediolanum Forum di Milano. I tre concerti italiani fanno parte del nuovo tour europeo dell’artista britannico, che partirà il prossimo ottobre e farà tappe nei palazzetti delle più importanti città d’Europa, tra cui Londra, che lo attende per ben quattro appuntamenti alla O2 Arena. Il tour europeo seguirà la tranche estiva, che proprio in questi giorni lo sta portando nei maggiori festival europei, per poi approdare negli Stati Uniti.
Ed Sheeran è ormai una star non solo nel Regno Unito, ma anche nel resto del mondo. L’album di debutto del 2011, “+”, contenente anche la hit “Lego House”, ha venduto oltre due milioni di copie ed è sei volte disco di Platino; i singoli, quattro dei quali in top 10, hanno venduto oltre 2.8 milioni di copie. Con queste cifre Ed è ufficialmente l’artista emergente maschile con i maggiori dati di vendita nel Regno Unito. Ed ha inoltre vinto due Brit Awards per “Migliore Artista Maschile” e “Migliore Artista Emergente”, e un prestigioso Ivor Novello Award per “The A Team”.
Nel 2013 Sheeran ha portato il suo successo oltreoceano: ha accompagnato Taylor Swift nel suo tour negli Stati Uniti, e sempre con lei ha registrato il brano “Everything Has Changed”. Ha inoltre registrato il tutto esaurito per ben tre serate al Madison Square Garden.
E per il 2014 non accenna a diminuire il ritmo. Dopo l’annuncio del tour europeo, Ed ha già ottenuto un incredibile successo con il nuovo album”x”, debuttato al numero uno della classifica di vendita nel Regno Unito.

Hawk and Dove
By Dr. Jon Suter
I prefer to wait for a mini-series to finish its run before I write anything, but the new version of DC Comics’ “Hawk and Dove” compel me to call it to your attention.
The first two issues of the intended five are worth your time.
The first “Hawk and Dove” team, Hank and Don Hall, appeared in the late 1960s when those words carried heavy political baggage. Creator Steve Ditko’s version never achieved wide popularity, even in that politicized era, but the warring brothers surfaced several times in DC titles.
The age of the characters seemed to fluctuate. Finally, Dove died in the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” series.
The title was revived in 1988, and a new Dove appeared, a female who Hawk finally murdered in his Monarch persona.
Now a third team has appeared with a radical reversal of roles; a female Hawk.
The first team versions received their powers from other dimensions, but the new heroes are the results of genetic tampering, and the “Godwave” that swept the DC universe in the recent “Genesis” plotline.
There is enough paranoia in this series to satisfy most “X-Files” enthusiasts.
The primary villain is Avian, which may foreshadow a heavy emphasis on bird motifs.
The characters are well defined and interesting, for which writer Mike Baron deserves full credit.
The new Dove is an abrasive grunge rocker, but his powers are more destructive than those of his predecessors. His sonic scream is similar to that of another superhero, Black Canary.
Dean Zachary’s art is appropriate. Dick Giordono’s inking is good and reminds me how much he has contributed to comics in his long career.
Give this series serious consideration. A full series cannot be far behind.
Those interested in the second “Hawk and Dove” team can acquire a 1993 reprint from DC of the five issues that reintroduced them.
Barbara and Karl Kesel’s scripts hold up as does Rob Liefield’s art.
The eventual grim fate of the characters gives their origin a new piquancy.
The Postcard
A card published by Rotary which was posted on Monday the 3rd. August 1914 to an address in St. Luke's Road Birmingham.
The sea has been tinted to a colour that makes it look like some luminous chemical liquid.
Scarborough
Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire. The town lies between 10–230 feet (3–70 m) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour on to limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour, and is protected by a rocky headland.
With a population of just over 61,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. People who live in the town are known as Scarborians.
The Development of Scarborough as a Resort
In 1626, Mrs Thomasin Farrer discovered a stream of acidic water running from one of the cliffs to the south of the town. This gave birth to Scarborough Spa, and Dr. Robert Wittie's book about the spa waters published in 1660 attracted a flood of visitors to the town.
Scarborough Spa became Britain's first seaside resort, though the first rolling bathing machines were not noted on the sands until 1735. It was a popular getaway destination for the wealthy of London.
The coming of the Scarborough-York railway in 1845 increased the tide of visitors. Scarborough railway station claims to have the world's longest platform seat. From the 1880's until the First World War, Scarborough was one of the regular destinations for The Bass Excursions, when fifteen trains would take between 8,000 and 9,000 employees of Bass's Burton brewery on an annual trip to the seaside.
The Grand Hotel
When the Grand Hotel (visible in the background) was completed in 1867 it was one of the largest hotels in the world, and one of the first giant purpose-built hotels in Europe.
Four towers represent the seasons, 12 floors represent the months, 52 chimneys represent the weeks, and originally 365 bedrooms represented the days of the year. A blue plaque outside marks where the novelist Anne Brontë died in 1849. She was buried in the graveyard of St. Mary's Church by the castle.
Maritime Events Associated With Scarborough
During the Great War, the town was bombarded by German warships. Scarborough Pier Lighthouse, built in 1806, was damaged in the attack.
In 1929 the steam drifter Ascendent caught a 560-pound (250 kg) tunny (Atlantic bluefin tuna), and a Scarborough showman awarded the crew 50 shillings so he could exhibit it as a tourist attraction.
Big-game tunny fishing off Scarborough effectively started in 1930 when Lawrie Mitchell-Henry landed a tunny caught on rod and line weighing 560 pounds (250 kg).
A gentlemen's club, the British Tunny Club, was founded in 1933, and set up its headquarters in the town at the place which is now a restaurant with the same name.
Sir Edward Peel landed a world-record tunny of 798 pounds (362 kg), capturing the record by 40 pounds (18.1 kg) from one caught off Nova Scotia by American champion Zane Grey. The British record, which still stands, is for a fish weighing 851 pounds (386 kg) caught off Scarborough in 1933 by Lawrie Mitchell-Henry.
On the 5th. June 1993 Scarborough made headlines around the world when a landslip caused part of the Holbeck Hall Hotel, along with its gardens, to fall into the sea.
Although the slip was shored up with rocks and the land has long since grassed over, evidence of the cliff's collapse remains clearly visible from The Esplanade, near Shuttleworth Gardens.
Germany's Declaration of War on France
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 3rd. August 1914, Germany declared war on France, in effect starting the Great War.
Although WW1 officially started when the Austria-Hungarian empire declared war on Serbia, nothing much happened until the 3rd. August.
The following day (4th. August), Germany ignored Belgium's neutrality and invaded Belgium in order to try to get to Paris quickly. In doing so, Germany failed to comply with Great Britain's ultimatum to respect Belgium's neutrality, and accordingly Great Britain declared war on Germany the same day.

Si ritrovano dopo tanti anni dalle celebri esibizioni sullo stesso palco, ed iniseme a Miles Davis, due giganti della musica.
In una carriera che abbraccia tre decadi e una discografia che include più di una dozzina di registrazioni eclettiche e innovative, Mike Stern, con cinque nominations ai GRAMMY, si è affermato come uno dei principali chitarristi e compositori jazz e jazz-fusion della sua generazione.
Bostoniano di nascita, allievo di Pat Metheny, può vantare una carriera di tutto rispetto iniziata sul finire degli anni ’70 in cui spiccano le collaborazioni con i Blood Sweet & Tears, Billy Cobham e, il sassofonista Billy Evans e, fondamentale quella con Miles Davis nei cui complessi suona ininterrottamente dal 1982 al 1985, apparendo su tre album: “Man with the Horn”, “Star People” ed il live “We Want Miles”.
Aveva solo 22 anni quando Bill Evans incontrò Miles Davis, con cui incise “The man with the horn” e “Star people”. Nel suo curriculum vanta la militanza nella Mahavishnu Orchestra del «mostro sacro» John McLaughlin tra il 1984 e il 1986 e, negli anni successivi, le session con Herbie Hancock e Gil Evans, e stelle del rock come Mick Jagger e Andy Summers, e soprattutto un progetto solista che va avanti ininterrottamente da oltre un quarto di secolo e che, nel suo complesso, è diventato terreno di incontro e laboratorio di grandi talenti come Victor Bailey; Darryl Jones e Dennis Chambers.
Maestro della fusion, crea negli ultimi anni il progetto Soulgrass, una miscela di jazz elettrico e di bluegrass, il folk dell’America di inizio Novecento.

Always nice to be published. And very cool that they wanted a drone shot! This one is for the Svenska kyrkan (swedish church) Husie församling.

Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi live con uno spettacolo giocato tra le luci e le ombre della sua musica che al Blue Note inaugurerà il nuovo Tour Teatrale.
La tournèe sarà condivisa con Violante Placido che presenterà in apertura di serata una selezione di brani che verranno inseriti nel nuovo album di prossima pubblicazione dell’attrice - cantante e che introdurranno lo spettacolo di Mr. Giovanardi, che per questa speciale occasione verrà affiancato anche da una preziosa ospite: Simona Molinari.
Violante Placido, già complice di M. E. Giovanardi con la cover di Bang Bang, inserita nell’ultimo Ho Sognato Troppo L’Altra Notte?, rientrerà on stage durante il concerto per condividere una serie di momenti che scandiranno fascinosamente lo scorrere della serata.
Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi sarà il protagonista di un bel momento dove il presente e il passato si mescolano creando uno spettacolo che non ha nulla a che fare con la nostalgia, ma che ha molto a che spartire con il fascino della grande musica.
Un lungo periodo ricco di soddisfazioni per Mauro Ermanno Giovanardi, culminato in Autunno con la pubblicazione e diffusione radiofonica di Desìo, il terzo singolo tratto da Ho Sognato Troppo L’altra Notte?, album giudicato tra i migliori 4 del 2011 dal Premio Tenco; nel mentre l’autore di Io Confesso – valutato come miglior singolo del 2011 da una lunga serie di radio – è approdato al Chelsea Hotel con Massimo Cotto per ripercorrere in versione reading la storia del rock non prima di aver ritirato a Roma il Premio De Andrè quale miglior interprete dell’opera di Faber.

Block B: il lato hip-hop del fenomeno K-Pop, live per l’unica data italiana del tour Block Party
1000 biglietti venduti in meno di una settimana, una media di 8 milioni di views a video: arrivano per la prima volta a Milano i Block B, band hip hop sudcoreana che ha già conquistato Russia, America e Giappone.
Dopo il successo del live dei Nu’ Est il 30 novembre scorso, il team di KpopItalia, sull’onda della sempre più crescente K-Pop mania che sta contagiando l’Italia (200mila fan), ritorna in campo portando sul palco del Fabrique di Milano un altro gruppo-icona della scena K-Pop. Un movimento che sta conquistando sempre più estimatori nel mondo, ma soprattutto un universo musicale assolutamente unico che fonde note, coreografie e look d’avanguardia. Per la prima volta in Italia, l’8 marzo, il locale di via Fantoli 9 ospita l’esibizione di Zico, Jae Hyo, U-Kwon, B-Bomb, Taeil, P.O e Kyung. Ovvero i Block B (acronimo di Blockbuster), una della band hip hop più amate del panorama K-Pop. Dei veri unconventional idol che, anche grazie ai loro straordinari video, hanno scalato in fretta le classifiche ufficiali e che daranno vita a un live avvincente dedicato a tutti i loro fan italiani.
In meno di una settimana il portale Ciaotickets.com è stato preso d’assalto registrando la vendita quasi immediata di oltre 1000 biglietti, un affettuoso arrembaggio che ha addirittura mandato in crash il sistema per qualche ora.
Da rappresentanti ribelli del lato hip-hop dell’universo K-Pop, a leader delle classifiche. Tra videoclip dal taglio cinematografico, look da capogiro e hit di successo, breve storia dei Block B: sette ragazzi partiti da una scommessa del rapper Cho Pd e arrivati a conquistare i palcoscenici di tutto il mondo.
Go pick up the May 2010 issue of Modified!
My first time published. Shot these months lat last year. Expect another feature soon :-)
(the published photos are in comments) All right, I'm not afraid to promote myself occasionally, and I've got to finally mention this because it's almost your last chance to easily find this issue on the stands or in stores...
This is the Chicago Reader's 1000 Words, Second Annual Photo Issue, which featured a reader contest. I picked it up and saw I had one in the issue...and it was on the table of contents page too. Then I kept looking, and there were more photos of mine...5 in all! It's kind of embarrassing that of the 22 photos, 5 are mine (no one else had more than 3)...when so many great photographers didn't get in there. Also, I never even officially entered the contest; they just picked photos I'd submitted to the Chicago Reader Flickr group. And I'm not even shooting with a "real" camera...and so on.
But I work hard on my photography (I even landed in the hospital due to it last year, though that's more about recklessness than dedication, perhaps) and I'm glad it's been recognized (plus, uh, this makes up for the fact that they've never published any of my shots in the Reader before, just online). This wasn't the first time I got a photo in print in 2008...I'll belatedly have a post about the other one soon....I meant to say something much sooner but New Year's, a family visit, and a Detroit trip intervened...
Many thanks to the Reader* and to all of you who've supported my work! If you can't get an actual copy, it's here (online has 24 photos, not 22)
www.chicagoreader.com/features/stories/photo08/
*In the summer, the editors named me "Best Local Blog 2008" (a tie) and I again feel guilty I've posted so little there recently; I'm working on a sort of relaunch/lots of new content, once again, life has gotten in the way of my posting there...the photo related to that news:
My pic was chosen to be used in an article they were doing on Blackpool bidding to become a World Heritage Site.
