Have a look on the new album’s backside! The new stairway photo combined with Gessle drawings and what looks like an airport pictogram. Don’t overlook the Crash! Boom! Bang! style reference on the track names!

According to Play.com – the “It’s Possible (Version One Radio Edit)” with duration of 2min 35sec is to be released on Monday, March 4. The German radio show “Hey Music” on Radio Berlin informs that “It’s possible” lasts for 3min 22sec. We have no information at this point which information is correct.
The B-side of the first single will be T&A Demo of “It’s possible”.
Update: It turned out that correct duration is 2:34 for the first single, which makes it the shortest one leading single in the history of Roxette.
Swedish photographer Fredrik Etoall is the man in charge for new Roxette photosession that will probably find its way in the TRAVELLING album bookler or promotion process. He has published a blurry photo from his photoshoot yesterday.
Thanks to RoxetteCafe.com for this information.
As you know – the plane picture used on not the final cover of the Roxette’s forthcoming “T2 – Tourism 2″ album was taken by Norwegian photographer Fredrik Olastuen. Who is he – you may ask.
Here’s the little piece of information he publishes on his Flickr page.
26 years old, living in Jessheim, Akershus, Norway.
Work in the videoconferencing industry, certified on Tandberg equipment. When not on work, I spend most of my time as a hobby-/freelance-photographer.
I do mostly sports and concert foto, but experiencing with all kind of genres.
I have always been interested in photo, but it really startet to evolve when I bought my first DSLR. Now I’m almost only shooting with my Canon Powershot G10, but it’s still a lot of fun and I like to experience with motives and techniques.
My main goal is to have fun and take nice pictures of my life and surroundings, and experience while having fun. If you like my photos, that’s a nice bonus
If you want to follow my updates, you can add me as a contact here on Flickr or on Twitter where I will post every time I publish new photos.

We all know the “Charm school” cover, but this Argentinian poster shows us a little bit more of those pictures that were used in this colage.
Polish punk band The Black Tapes has covered “Sleeping in my car” on theirs first album called “The Black Tapes”. The album got very positive reviews in Polish press and many journalists really appreciated Roxette’s cover which is a “ghost track” on this CD. The band members recorded this debut album in Sweden and wanted to have something Swedish on it – that was the main reason why they have decided to include “Sleeping in my car”.
You can listen to theirs version here.
Posted on June 28th: German rockabilly band The Baseballs included a cover of “The Look” in their first album “Strike”, which was released in May 2009. The album also includes covers of Rihanna, Robbie Williams and Maroon 5 among others.
Digger, singer together with Sam and Basti, explains why they choose “The Look” in an interview published on Münstersche Zeitung yesterday, “we wanted to give the album a personal touch. I chose “The Look”, which I relate to my start with music. It was my sister’s first LP and the first song I could play on keyboards.”
I personally find the version of “The Look” one of the best on the album, but you can judge yourself on YouTube, where you can also listen to other songs included in the album.
If you want to learn more about the band, you can visit their homepage (in German) or page on Facebook. And if you’ve been convinced by their music, you can buy their CD on Amazon.de
Update 18th July: just found out that there is another German band who already covered “The Look” back in 1991. The band is called Boppin’B and they named the album containing the cover “The Look”.
