I miss you Malik Bandjelloul!
Malik Bandjelloul is dead and the world is different! A message about somebodies death – concerning someone I had never met – has never effected me in this way before! Yes, once before – when John Lennon died – but that was different. I feel as though a friend has died, a soul mate and a […]
