Canadian artists Luke Jackson records at Aerosol with Christoffer and Magnus

by

For those who like Christoffer and Magnus’ work: Canadian artist Luke Jackson informed us he recorded his most recent album “… And Then Some” at Aerosol Grey Machine with Christoffer and Magnus. The album was released last year. You can read about how they became friends and how they came up with idea of recording the album at AGM on Luke’s MySpace profile.

This week he is promoting his new animated video for the song Goodbye London which you can find on YouTube.

Luke also informs he was at “Per’s London show last month incidentally, and it was magic”.

He also tells us “My music might be too far removed from Roxette to warrant a posting on your page, since I’ve never actually played with Per, but I wanted to keep you in the loop!” Well, we know there are some Chris and Magnus fans out there, so this might indeed be of their interest. And who knows, you might discover a new favourite artist.

Zpargo – Bara en på tusen

by

Zpargo - Bara en på tusenMikael Bolyos did it again. He shared a new-old song in which he was involved both as a songwriter and as a keyboard player. “Bara en på tusen” (Only one in a thousand) was recorded by Swedish trio called Zpargo (Mikael Bolyos, Göran Rydh and Lasse Johnsson). They released just two singles “Du finns i mig”/”Ge mig en chans” in 1984 and “Bara en på tusen”/ “Känner du” in 1985.

Bara en på tusen

I fantasin finns inga svara år
Jag lever lyckligt både höst och vår
Men här gör det ont att vara kär

Det som för mig kan vara genialt
Uppfattar du ibland som helt banalt, bisarr
Gör ont att vara kär

Bara en på tusen
Tänder kärleken som jag bär
Du är den på tusen
Och det gör ont att vara kär

Kan kanske kasta ur mig stora ord
Desperation orsakar fel mord, oh nej
Ditt liv är till för mig
Du dominerar helt mig, känns så stark
Trotts att du kan va’ både hård och kall mot mig
Mitt liv är till för dig

Bara en på tusen
Tänder kärleken som jag bär
Du är den på tusen
Som jag vill älska, älska, älska
Bara är en på tusen
Trotts alla timmarna i misär
Du är den på tusen
Och det gör ont att vara kär

Mikael Bolyos’ Never again

by

Mikael Bolyos Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy (Ivanycz @ R2R) we are able to listen to a quite old Mikael Bolyos’ song. It was “sweet 1983”, Jonas Isacsson on guitar, Erik Häusler on saxophone and Mikael Bolyos on keyboards, programming & vocal. The song is called “Aldrig mer” which means “Never again”.

Aldrig mer

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer ska jag va’ med en annan kvinna
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer ska jag överge dig
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer ska du ur mitt liv få försvinna
Aldrig mer, aldrig mer

Jag och du skönast, det gräset är grönast och himlen blå
Man kan ju tycka att det låter som lycka och väl kom
När alla tycker förseende tekniken bedrar min sinne
Blir de skivor min tidsfördrivor
Jag svär att alltid va dig trogen

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer…

Ville ju leva som Adam och Eva i paradis
Ha varann och älska oss fram vi var oskuld
Men om du känner att kärleken vänder och går sin vik
Kom då till mig jag tröstar dig och svär
att alltid va’ dig trogen

Om du tror de ska fånga mig, kan du spara dina tvivel
För jag vet att jag älskar dig och vill alltid vara nära dig

Aldrig mer, aldrig mer…

Thanks to Gyllene Tjej for writing down the lyrics and, of course, thanks to Mikael B. for music.

Another Per through Twitter

by

I guess this is going to be the most uninteresting you’ve read here, but.. just gotta write it down. I must say I like Twitter more and more. I follow some “VIPS” because I like what they do (either music or TV shows or music) and I feel like one can get to know another side of these people which isn’t the image we get from interviews, magazine articles and so on. And one of these is of course Per Gessle. He surprised me a couple of times with his tweets. Once he commented on Keith Urban, I think he said he met him in LA.. and added he has a beautiful wife. I think that was the first time I hear/read Per comment about a woman more than just about her voice. Of course, besides his songs about love and sex and passion and love and Åsa.

Yesterday he posted “Don’t forget to vote in the EU-election, all you Europeans!” – I think, as far as my brain can recall, it’s the first time I hear Per somehow.. get involved in elections/politics. On May 30th he posted “EU-election. Just voted. A great opportunity to take a stand.”

As I said, I like Twitter! And as I said, just a random post.

And don’t forget to vote! If you don’t, then don’t complain about the results 🙂

Roxette.ro presents an interview made by the fans for the fans. Taken from the website:

We had a breakfast with two members  of Per’s band which tour with him in Party Crasher tour. This happened in Prague the day after the concert. We spent an hour and a half in the company of Christoffer and Magnus; Pelle was there but he didn’t participate at the interview, we just ran into him there at the restaurant. You can see all the pictures from the interview at the Gallery section in the left menu, or just click HERE. They clarified some of the music industry aspects, they gave us details about Per that we didn’t knew. We smiled all the time, we walked very happy and enthusiasts from that meeting. We have prepared only 15 questions for the interview , but they were so kind to explain to us what is like to tour with Per. We hope you like it.
