Glad to see I'm on your super best myspace friends list at least Holl. I had to send Mick an abusive letter for not adding me to his super best myspace friends list... well it was more of a public comment than a letter, and not so abusive as downright gay. Yes, I implied that your brother was a big homo on his myspace page. That'll learn him.

i'm actually turning Got no fire into an old school reggae tune, just to see how well i'd do it really... it does sound lovely... need to get some wow and flutter and saturation of a tape studio on the go but so far i've got the sound pretty close - i figured someone had to do a sunshine reggae version of it innit.

Mmm, that last comment of mine came-off a bit cheesy at the end. How embarassing. And now I've said that I've brought attention to it... But you know what i mean.

Hey Holly! You beat me to it! Absolutely loving the tracks on your profile, sublime and soulful. The music really compliments your singing; it works with it as opposed to competing for attention against it or drowning it outright. Nice and sparse, and open and airy. If we ever do get round to working together (which I sincerely hope we do), I’ve got a lot to live up to.
What a big, beautiful, soulful voice you have! All the better for pulling at my heart-strings! :-)
