According to this little ‘interview’, Marie will not release solo album this year. “Roxette is high priority right now“, said Marie.
Per Gessle enters Svensktoppen at number 9
After two weeks being a candidate to enter the charts, yesterday was finally the day for “The Party Pleaser” and entered at number 9.
Svensktoppen is a radio show which runs on P4 on Sundays.
Another Per through Twitter
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 🙂

Per and his umbrella
I thought about posting it here and was doubtful. But in the end we aren’t a news page and some bits and pieces about nothing here and then can be funny, too. I just found a young woman’s blog who is writing about Bruce Springsteen’s concert and Per Gessle’s umbrella. Even if it’s only two sentences, enjoy: Behindblueeyes
