8 Years gone by, but the her presence is still felt, her music is timeless and her persona is still missed! And to pay tribute to Aaliyah Dana Haughton, here is a cover of one of my favorite songs on the ‘One in A Million’-album , ‘Hot Like Fire’ bij the XX, who by the way will be peforming in the Paradiso on Oct 10.

I stumbled upon this guy named Ben Howard today, (i’m kind of in the acoustic guitar playing singer songwriters lately) I really enjoy looking at the way he uses his guitar as an instrument. I’ve rarely seen anyone play like that … ever.
Ben is from South Devon which is a seaside town in the south of the UK. I’m very happy to have found out that Ben Howard will be coming by in the Melkweg on the 6th of September. Along with another one of my favourite seaside living UK peeps Brighton’s (I’m in love with that city) own Fink.
It used to be my favourite thing to do when I was younger. I would just grab my bike (a rusty old thing that got handed down to me via a multitude of previous generations) and follow the signs, which led me as far as Haarlem, Hilversum, Utrecht, Zandvoort and even the Hague at one point. Now I just used it to cycle to and from the trainstation. The whole fixed gear hype and this video, makes me want to get on my rusty old steed again, and hop on off to the sunset going on adventures. I miss you.
