As you may recall, Lars Demian, Halmstad troubadour, has recorded new EP called “Att inte vara Pär Gäzzle” (Not to be Pär Gezzle).
Now you can, as long as you are interested in his nostalgic versions of “Listen to your heart” and “Här kommer alla känslorna (på en och samma gång)”, buy his EP in Swedish stores:
Unfortunately, “Gessle over Europe” has been delayed to the end of October due to problems with German video regulations. Apparently Jonas Åkerlund’s videos (director’s cut – “Kix” and “Do you wanna be my babe?”) are too much for Germany. They demand an 18 year old age limit on the CD/DVD. It seems like the premier of “Gessle over Europe” will take place just after Night of the Proms tour start.
Updated on August 29: Thanks Kristen we know how the German “parental advisory” logo will look like.

Marijana Topalovic, one of the contestants in Australian “Idol”, performed Roxette’s “It must have been love” yesterday on August 25. Watch it.

The reason why EMI is re-releasing and re-mastering all the Rox albums is because they are out of print in some territories. Also, the sound was not up to date. Some albums are really old, folks! So… it’s not EMI’s intention (or Roxette’s for that matter) to make these albums “collector items” or fill them with demos and unreleased stuff. We’ll find other ways to do that, trust me.
Cheers, P.

It seems like the 25th edition of The Nokia Night of the Proms is not only a kind of success in Germany, but also in Belgium. Today the 11th (eleventh!) concert in Antwerp, Belgium at Sportpaleis Antwerpen on November 10 (Wednesday) was announced. The advanced sale has started today. The tickets are one of the cheapest on NOTP tour – from 19 euros for standing till 39 euros for sitting place.
Buy it here.
OMD is also the last artist that was added today till The Nokia Night of the Proms in Antwerp, Rotterdam and Arnhem.
Per wrote on Twitter:
Yea, 3 songs on each album. Several more digitally. iTunes I think. It’s EMI who’s running this, not me.
Have you ever seen “Dogville” with Nicole Kidman, “Dancer in the dark” with Björk or the latest controversial film “Antichrist”? They were all directed by Lars von Trier, an Academy Award-nominated Danish film director and screenwriter. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective, although his own films have taken a variety of different approaches. And why do we post it here? In one of the latest inteviews he said he listened to Roxette while working. Marie Fredriksson & Per Gessle as the sources of inspirations?
Thanks to TDR (Twitter).

Bianca from Brazil uploaded one of Marie Fredriksson’s shows from her Äntligen tour in 2000. The show was recorded in Malmö on July 31st. You can download via Mediafire.
Finally some songs from Marie’s Göteborg show showed up as well. Bianca has also uploaded some tracks to Mediafire. Have fun listening.
Thanks Bianca for sharing your stuff! That’s how the fan world works.

More about Roxette re-release:
Pearls of passion, 1986 (3 bonus tracks e.g. Neverending Love [Tits and Ass demo 1986])
Look sharp!, 1988 (3 bonus tracks)
Joyride, 1991 (3 bonus tracks e.g. “The sweet hello, the sad goodbye”)
Tourism, 1992 (2 bonus tracks e.g. “Fingertips ’93″)
Crash!Boom!Bang!, 1994 (3 bonus tracks e.g. “Almost unreal”)
Have a nice day, 1999 (3 bonus tracks)
Room service, 2001 (3 bonus tracks)
My comment: It’s strange that there are so little bonus tracks. As you may recall, Pearls of Passion (1997 edition) got 8 bonus tracks and now we will get 5 less. Hope to get really nice booklets instead 
According to EMI Sweden the remastered Roxette albums will be released on September 30th. The albums come with bonus tracks and a brand new booklet. So far the date is not confirmed by Per Gessle or EMI, we’re referring to the information EMI Sweden is giving on their homepage. So this could also only be the release date for the remastered albums in Sweden.

Have you seen it before? Do you have it in a better quality? It’s the very first video of “Listen to your heart” filmed in 1988 (?) for Swedish TV programme “Ritz”.
Thanks to LittleMarie & Leo.
