The Affair

My very good friend Zoltan has just launched his t-shirt label the affair. I really admire the amount of work he and his buddy Dave have put into this little venture. I know it takes devotion to get something of this quality launched, especially around your day job. The site was built by the exceptionally talented Kamil Gottwald, another friend of mine from de-construct. I love the simplicity of the interface. Well done guys!

Stevie Wonder & Aisha Morris

So, everyone has those ‘things to do before they die’ moments. Some people want to go round the world, swim with dolphins, watch the sunrise in the desert etc. I swam with Dolphins, that was great. But seeing Stevie Wonder live? That was simply magic.

For the first time in my life, I was totally starstruck. For as long as I can remember I always wanted to see him live. Living in England made this very difficult, I mean this was his first US tour in ten years, nevermind anywhere else. Stevie played all his greatest songs, and even had his daughter Aisha up on stage with him. She’s a great singer.

Stevie concentrated on a lot of material from arguably one of his best albums, Innervisions. My favourite track, Golden Lady was performed with the same level of soul as he did thirty years ago, and then the transition into Ribbon in the Sky was beautiful.
