Ludovic DutheilAprès le bilan collectif, la parole est donnée à nos rédacteurs. Attention, qu’il s’agisse de 2009 ou de la première décennie du XXIème siècle, l’éclectisme est plus que jamais au rendez-vous.
L’exercice d’un bilan annuel dans une équipe aussi diversifiée que la Pinkushion Team est forcément source de frustrations chez nos rédacteurs qui s’illustrent tous par un ego surdimensionné. Aussi, afin d’éviter de nous ségoléniser ou de frédéric-lefèvriser, à savoir laisser le champ libre à un porte parole incontrôlable (sinon il n’y aurait que ça dans la Pinkushion Team), avons-nous décidé, pour clôturer en beauté cette décennie mouvante, explosive et bruyante, de laisser la parole à chacun. Ce bilan est donc le reflet assez précis du grand écart qui s’opère chaque semaine dans votre webzine préféré, exercice périlleux qui, glorifions-nous un peu, attire de plus en plus de monde. L’occasion en même temps, pour nous, de vous remercier de votre fidélité et de vos messages très réguliers. Car c’est aussi grâce à vous que nous avons toujours envie de transmettre notre passion pour des musiques souvent différentes du tout venant.
