Bravo et merci pour cette petite cover ! Oh, je ne peux pas tout à fait qualifier cette écoute du player à l'instant de parfaite autodédicace, car pour cela, il faudrait que je l'enchaîne avec un bon Dirty South versus Evermore... "it's too late" : car oui, c'est triste, car pratiquement tout le monde m'a laissé tomber... enfin, dans la vraie vie, pas mes amis Spaciens, heureusement :)
Allez, bon dimanche les amis... taking my applause like miracles : ouais, hou, yeahey... !!!!!
Yo SHINE, Whenever I listen to your music. I feel like singing too. But your talent is unmatched. How much time you spend to rehearse per day SHINE? Love ya. Te PS:Follow Me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent

Eh bien j'avais tort d'annoncer un beau jour de l'automne 2008 que je n'étais pas un grand fan de Terry Reid !!! Car oui, j'aime cet EP, je le surkiffe même, et oui j'ai envie de le partager : dès demain, je vais coller des stickers partout à la fac ! Ah oui mais... faudrait que vous m'en fournissiez ! Et me rendre à Londres ce soir, ça fait un p'tit peu loin, même si maintenant, avec l'Eurostar, c'est tout de même + rapide que jadis ! Alors... c'est quand votre prochain concert Parisien (ou Francilien) ?
En attendant... Have a wonderful listening party ! And I'd like to say to all the fans attending : Play their game ! Tonight !!!
Hello Happy Shiny People... Bien sympathique ce que j'ai entendu avec Mister Terry Reid. Un bon grain de voix et un gros boulot sur les guitares, ça le fait! Keep on Shining!
CONGRATULATIONS SHINE !! Your song 'Hawai' entered the first FRIEND VOTE Indie Top 100 Chart at No.40 on Monday. Maybe your friends can help you climb higher this week. Vote for SHINE at: http://www.myspace.com/indietop100 Until again, all the best, FV.
