LET'S MAKE A DIFERENCE... LET'S MAKE A BIG SURPRISE TO PER AND MARIE!

Let's make a worldwide t-shirt festival in the upcoming Roxette Summer Tour!
In this World Cup year, let's celabrate all countried together for Roxette in the concerts! A kind of "Wavin flag celebration!"
Our goal:

"1 CONCERT, MANY COUNTRIES!"

How it started...

Around March, after the good news about Roxette summer concerts in Sweden, Russia, Denmark and Norway, I sent a message to Tomasz Wysocki from Poland (RXBlog) with this idea. He promply agreed and talked to the other members from Roxette Blog, Sascha Strohmeier & Kirsten Ohlwein. So we chatted by twitter the whole afternoon about the idea, the t-shirt colours, how and where we could put the "rox flags" for fans download without Per realised about it! (because he checkes fan sites and facebooks sometimes...!!!)

Well, the idea was postponed that month because was to early to think about that... 5 months to the concerts!!!

But as time goes by so fast... The time to do it is now! (as Tomasz said on facebook!)

So ladies and gentlemen, here are the flags!

Instructiuons:

1. Download it

2. Print in a BLACK or RED t-shirt

3. Enjoy Roxette concerts!!!

CELEBRATING ABBA!

2010-06-21T23:45:00.021-03:00

ABBA THE SHOW LIVE IN PORTO ALEGRE
GIGANTINHO ARENA, MAY 22nd

It looks like Abba... but it's not!
The Swedish Abba Official Cover caused a big confusion in Brazil during their new world tour.

"It was the beggining of may... I was relaxing at home, watching TV in the weekend when suddanly an add anounces ABBA in Brazil! W-H-A-T? They are back too? Just like Roxette? So Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad "Frida" were back... and in Brazil?"

During the next hours from the tv add, this was what all Abba and also Roxette fans were thinking!!!
The add caused a lot of confision in the whole country! Even in the press and among Roxette fans!

The producers that brought the group to Brazil dueing the indentical image and voice from the girls Katja Nord and Camilla Dahlin and also for being 2 original members from Abba band in the band,"sold" the concert as the Original Abba... so you imagine how confuse it was to everybody!

During this mess, one of the brazilian producers was arrested for fake add.
Folha SP, Diario de Pernambuco, H2FOZ,

But nobody was caring about it. The audiance was just excited to enjoy ABBA TIMES!
So all concerts from the Brazilian Tour were almost sold out in all cities!

May. 13, 2010 / 10:00 pm Goianai, Brazil /(Sol Music Hall)
May. 14, 2010 / 10:00 pm Belo Horizonte, Brazil / (Chevrolet Hall)
May. 15, 2010 / 10:00 pm Recife, Brazil / (Chevrolet Hall)
May. 16, 2010 / 05:00 pm São Paulo, Brazil / (Virada Cultural)
May. 19, 2010 / 10:00 pm Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil / (Centro de Convenções)
May. 20, 2010 / 09:00 pm Brasilia, Brazil / (Centro de Convencões Ulisses Guimarães)
May. 21, 2010 / 09:00 pm Rio De Janeiro, Brazil / (Vivo Rio)
May. 22, 2010 / 09:00 pm Porto Alegre, Brazil / (Gigantinho)
May. 23, 2010 / 08:00 pm Curitiba, Brazil / (Teatro Positivo)

The concert was terrific! Just as good as the Real Abba! The girls rocked with their voices, looks and performances. You can get confused without closing your eyes! Was not the real Abba? Are you sure? Well who cares! They are great! Swedish do it better! The expensive ticket was worth!

I felt really satisfied after the show! It was my "1st Abba Concert" and I'm just waiting for another one! They got me as a fan! And as a fan, I couldn't leave without saying a hello!

With my swedish 3 kronor official pin and my swedish flag I went to talk to the brazilian manager (not the arrested one!) about the possibility to meet the band in the end. As I'm a member from the Brazilian Scandinavian Institute here and organize sometimes the international music day event (fool of Roxette & Abba music) I introduce myself and arranged a time with the band!

So here some photos from my meeting with them! They are really sweet! As I said some swedish words, they though I was swedish... and also my "swedih performance" during the concert caused this impression! (I learnt with swedish people to attend a concert shaking the flag!)

Oh, forgot to mention, dueing to my "performance with the flag" and all songs learnt by heart, they started to say "Tack så mycket" after the "Thanx" and "Obrigado"... FANTASTIK!

The girls helped me with some swedish words... and in the end we all sang Sommartider Hej Hej! Really funny... They are fantastic! By the way, the girls like Gyllene Tider too!!!

All the members are from Swedish and they live in Stockholm!

VIDEO:
The VIDEO from above is from Dancing Queen, minutes before people stanting up from their chairs to enjoy near the stage. The swedish flag is mine!!! The same one from the photos! They loved! That's why they put together to the brazilian one, just like my other pin! Check on my jacket!

PHOTOS:

PS.: It was the first time I went at Gigantinho Arena after the memorable Roxette concert on may 6th, 1992. I confess that the arema looked smaller this time but I'm sure that I look bigger as I'm not on my teens!!!

CELEBRATING WINTER!

ROXETTE LIVE IN PORTO ALEGRE!

2010-05-06T08:59:00.026-03:00

(updated: video 01/3, video 02/3, video 03/3)

It was 18 years ago...
when Marie was 34 & Per 33! Me? A baby of 14!!!

Finally! I have the honour to present one of the best Roxette Concerts according to Gessle, Åsa and Clarence Öfwerman! (They mentioned it in 2007 & 2009 during En Händig Man Tour & Party Crasher European Tour).

What: Roxette Live in Porto Alegre, Brazil
Tour: Join the Joyride World Tour 1991/1992.
Where: Gigantinho Arena.
Date: May 6th of 1992.
Arena capacity: 16.000.
Audiance: 18.000 (!!!)

The Roxette crew staff had to remove the backgound of the stage before the concert because there were people behind the stage! Believe!!! Nowadays it's a tendence to put the stage in the middle of the audiance... but what nobody knows is that Roxette started with this tendence, and in 1992!!!! Marie started the concert singing to all directions... Roxette and the band confessed they were impressed with so many people!

Per mentioned it in all interviews around Brazil. Take a look on his smile when he talked about Porto Alegre concert in an interview from 1999, during Have a Nice Day Promo Tour in Brasil.

He also mentioned it when I gave him the bootleg of the concert during EHM Tour in 2007. And also when I gave him the DVD of the concert and more in 2009 during PC European Tour.

Photos from the airport arriving, press-conference & concert:
* (Marie & Micke at the airport. Per & Åsa arrive some days earlier).

*

Bootleg CD: Roxette Live in Porto Alegre Brasil.
Origin: The Radio Atlantida FM broadcasted the concert. Some years later, around 1994, there were a big fight inside the radio and one of the producers left the team. And he decided to take with him 5 concerts broadcasted by the Radio as "payment"! One of these concerts was Roxette one. To make money he decided to sell those precious recordings (I also remember there was Ramones Concert in the package!). So, a close person of mine, from EMI office that also worked as DJ, told me about this selling. I bought Porto Alegre Concert!!!
What I know from that period about copy numbers: only 1 copy was sold before I had bought the tape. Now I promise to change this number and put the CD for donwload here very soon!

DVD: Roxette Live in Porto Alegre and more.
Origin: My personal archieves & Ivana's archieves.
It contains: Porto Alegre concert, Rio de Janeiro concert, interviews and a teaser of Porto Alegre city.

Now, the big question: Do you believe in coincidence???
Roxette comeback day: May 6th of 2009 during Per Gessle Party Crasher European Tour!
Roxette concert in Porto Alegre: May 6th of 1992 during Join the Joyride World Tour!

Check the concert on youtube:
HQ video available for download here very soon on. Meanwhile, enjoy the youtube versions on my youtube profile: http://www.youtube.com/mrsgesslebrazil

OH MY GOD...

2010-04-01T18:44:00.008-03:00

APRIL 1st PEOPLE!

Sorry my dear friends, but I think you would realise after reading the impossible mark of 27 concerts in only 1 country! It would be impossible to arrange 1 concert in every brazilian state!
And I also thought you would realise about the strange "opening acts" for Roxette! Well to do not mention the terrible names of Roxette new album and single! I wasn't inspired! But I will work about it!
Folks... you forgot to check the tag in the end of the article: "april 1st"
Oops, sorry! I know I shouldn't play with the poor South Americans! I know we are so hopeful to have Roxette here again after so many years that anything could be real... even that post... that we could believe in anything... Sorry once again for my kid spirit!
But have fun, be fan on april's 1st!

Check this one... "stronger than mine"... I've heard that many fans also have heart attacks with this one: http://www.dailyroxette.com/node/18767

1º DE ABRIL PESSOAS!

Desculpa meus queridos amigos, mas eu achava que vocês iriam perceber depois de ler a marca impossível de 27 shows em apenas 1 país, mesmo esse sendo o nosso Brasil querido! Seria impossível 1 show em cada estado brasileiro!
E eu também achava que vocês iriam perceber sobre os estranhos shows de abertura, em se tratando de Roxette!
Bem, sem mencionar os nomes terríveis do novo álbum e single do Roxette que inventei! Não estava muito inspirada! Vou meditar sobre isso!
Povo... vocês esqueceram de ver o tag "april 1st" (1º de abril) no fim da matéria!
Opa, desculpe! Eu sei que não se deve brincar com os pobres Sul-Americanos! Eu sei que estamos tão esperançosos de ter o Roxette aqui de novo depois de tantos anos que tudo poderia ser real... até mesmo este post sem pé nem cabeça! Desculpe mais uma vez pelo meu espírito infantil!
Mas "have fun, be fan" no 1 de abril!

Confiram este outro 1º de abril ... "pior que o meu"... Ouvi dizer que muitos fãs também tiveram infartes com este: http://www.dailyroxette.com/node/18767

C'MON VOGUE!

2010-03-04T11:40:00.010-03:00

STRIKE A POSE!

During En Händig Man year, 2007, Per was invited by a traditional photographer in Sweden, Caroline Roossmark, to be part of her 2008 calendar.
Caroline's Calendars are very traditional in Sweden and in this 2008 Calendar, she photographed Swedish celebrities playing characters.
Per Gessle and his family, Åsa Nordin and Gabriel was photographed by her at the Royal's Family Castle, Drottningholm, at the inside garden.

2 weeks ago, Per posted some backstages photos from this photoshoot on his snowfish, that according to him, are part of the family's private album.

So I decided to bring back these wondersfull photos from my PC archieve, including the "c'mon vogue joke"! As I always say: Have fun, be fan!
So here the photos from little Mozart & Madonna with Mr.G!!!
(In time: why Madonna? Because she was dressed just like this during the 1992 MTV VMA, performing Vogue! Strike a pose Åsa!)

Mr.Nipple Contest

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZODNpt753E

During Party Crasher European Tour, in one of that funnies backstage moments, Åsa took Per's camera and started to film boys changing their clothes after the gig! Yes, we could see some naked scenes on Party Crasher videos!!! hahaha...

So our brilliant Åsa Nordin-Gessle started a funny contest: Mr. Nipple 2009!

Clarence and Christoffer promptly joined!

Trying to give a special present to the grown-up "Gessle-Girls" formally known now as "groupies", she tried to film her husband without shirt... but the man is really fast (and shine!), so he covered himself and said a condition to film him:

-"Girls first, girls first..."

Of course Åsa said noooo... Then, no deal, no scenes... wait... we've got the scenes!

His fans are really smart and found a way to include him on the Mr.Nipple contest!

Ladies and gentlemen... gessle-girls and groupies...

Mr. Nipple contest winner: PER GESSLE!!!

*(images from Gyllene Tider 25 years DVD Concert, from 2004.)
Did you think you could hide from us Per? Noooo... we follow every step you take! We love yah! ;D

HOT LINE

2010-02-28T14:23:00.005-03:00

Bye bye February, the hottest month in years!

On February 3rd, PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL was cosidered "the hottest city in the world" according to the famous weather channel in the US (AccuWeather).

The government of Porto Alegre had to do programeted blackouts of 1h in different neighbourhoods to avoid a big blackout in the state... families were sleeping outside their places because the apartments and houses look like big ovens! PARAGUAY also declared emergency!

Heat index in Celsius / sensação térmica: 45ºC & 55ºC (!) in a football game where a report/soccer player fainted alive on tv!

I'VE GOT A FLASHFOWARD!

2010-02-21T00:55:00.021-03:00

This new TV serie inspired me to comeback to my sweet-crazy diary to write about the new and old adventures and funny stories! Among other strange things...

As Opportunity Nox song says... 'Now I'm in, but I was out'...

Well, as the LOST maniacs are saying now (which I include myself in) as they know they will be orphans in 6 months from now (because this is the last season) FLASHFOWARD will probably be the substitute of this amazing-crazy-intelligent-nonsense-tv-series that makes everybody get l-o-s-t-!

The fans... (how crazy... everything in my life is about fans) use to get lost in a timeline that include, most of time, the past. Now everybody is going to be lost in the future. I'm living this 'dilemma' now... getting lost in the future... what have i been doing in 6 months from now? And how this could change my life, or not?

The first thing of this line of reasoning: 6 months is the key to confirm or not the future... also my future! 6 months, coincidentally, is the period Lost still has on tv, I think. Should I creating another conspiracy theory?!? Nej!... just trying to put facts together in my real life! Real? Do I leave in a dream or in a real life? Anyway...

On April 29th I'll an answer that probably will change my life and address to the other side of the globe! This date is the key not only for FLASHFOWARD! To understand my words... a mini 'flashback': On this great new tv series everybody all over the world had a flash-foward at the same time during an earth blackout. It takes 137 seconds or 2:17. On this colletive flash-foward people saw what they were doing in 6 months from now. Some saw good things, others not so good and few of them didn't see anything, what suppose they will be dead.

Yesterday I checked my book of angels, where I always run to when I need some answers... Want you know my answers?

Yes I've got a FLASHFOWARD! And decided to put it on a board... a big mosaic: In my vision I saw myself in a strange city I've never been before. It was 6 months from now... August... Everybody was running... like speed-racers... I could see I was running too... but in a different way... strange, 'seems I've been running, all my life, all my life'... There was a king and a queen in the end of the road... lots of melodies...

What it means? Let's see the next episodes... I've got 6 months to discover! But there's something that it's driving me crazy... 137 means the end of the barcode of my paper from biljettnu.se... As my master use to say... "who knows"...

Tell me what did you see! Tell me your dreams... your stories...

I see a little hesitation am I gonna have to show you
That if it feels right get on your mark
Step to the beat boy that’s what it's for

Put your arms around me
When it gets too hot we can go outside
But for now just come here let me whisper in your ear
An invitation to the dance of life

I’m gonna party, it’s a celebration
Cause anybody just won’t do
Let’s get this started, no more hesitation
Cause everybody wants to party with you

Haven’t I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar! You wanna dance?
Yeah I guess I just don’t recognize you with your clothes on
What are you waiting for?

I’m gonna party, it’s a celebration
Cause anybody just won’t do
Let’s get this started, no more hesitation
Cause everybody wants to party with you

Come join the party, it’s a celebration
Cause anybody just won’t do

Cause everybody wants to party with you

Boy you got it, it's a celebration
Cause anybody just won’t do

Cause everybody wants to party with you

Let’s get this started, no more hesitation
Cause everybody wants to party with you

ENGLISH *****
Since the beginning of October, I'm writing as a columnist in the site ZAGORA about music, fashion, attitudes, fans... all about musical culture! (column's name!)
This website is a reference here in the South of Brazil. There you can find the coolest stuffs about night, parties, restaurants, pubs, concerts, trips, fashion, behave, people... and now about music!

If you are interested in music and fashion you will enjoy my ideas in the first 2 articles. Music and fashion are together for a long long time and I'm writing about it, comparing the past, present and future! Of course I couldn't forget Sweden, Abba & Roxette in this music & fashion trajectory! You can also see Per Gessle Party Crasher colorful photos in the articles!!!

PROFILE: Danyela Etchart

(I had to translate it and share it with you folks 'cuz I never imagine how great I was! hahahaha)
Brazilian, almost Swedish, Danyela Etchart is a great devote from the music and culture from this Scandinavian country. She is graduated in Social Communication - Public Relations in 2002, and she also started another graduation of Hotel management and Tourism but she left the theories in the University to live the experiences by herself around the world. During her trips, she practice english with different people from different places and take a look in the new trends about fashion, movies, music and food from each country she have been. USA, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Germany, Argentina & Uruguay are the places that have been inspiring Dany around the years. In Brazil, she had already worked in a record label, bookstore, to the local government, producing events and always re-inventing herself, transforming her look in her trend mark! Dany put her network in a very special place in her life and between her contacts, highlights to the Swedish duo Roxette, the Brazillian singer Fernanda Abreu and the official Madonna interpreter, Veronica Pires. And as she always says: "I love to inspire people to live every day every time, always searching old and new dreams! ...Have fun, be fan!"

Faço um comparativo entre passado, presente e futuro! Claro que a "maluquette" aqui não iria deixar de falaro sobre Suécia, Abba e Roxette nesta tragetória da musica com a moda!

PER-FIL: Danyela Etchart
Brasileira quase naturalizada sueca, Daniela Etchart é uma grande admiradora da música e da cultura desse país europeu. Formada em Relações Públicas no ano de 2002, ela até iniciou a faculdade de Turismo, mas acabou deixando a teoria dos bancos acadêmicos para vivenciar essa habilitação na prática. Em suas viagens, Daniela aproveita para praticar seu inglês, que já é fluente, e desvendar as mais novas tendências de moda, cinema, música e culinária de cada país. Estados Unidos, Inglaterra, Suécia, Dinamarca, Holanda, França, Alemanha, Argentina e Uruguai são alguns dos locais responsáveis pela grande bagagem cultural de Daniela. No Brasil, ela já atuou em gravadoras, produziu eventos e, a cada etapa de sua vida, ela se reinventa, transformando seu visual despojado e moderno na sua marca registrada. Daniela valoriza muito sua rede de relacionamentos. Dentre os contatos mais recentes, destaque para a dupla sueca Roxette, a cantora carioca Fernanda Abreu e a cover oficial da Madonna no Brasil, Verônica Pires. Como ela mesma diz: “Gosto de inspirar as pessoas para viver um dia de cada vez, sempre em busca daqueles novos velhos sonhos!”

ROXETTE "WEIRD" LIVE IN SYDNEY DVD & CD RELEASED IN BRAZIL! (update 2)

2009-10-22T13:37:00.022-02:00

ROXETTE LIVE IN SYDNEY - MADE IN BRAZIL!

Today, I've got "weird news" from a friend who still works at the bookstore I used to work in the past (promoting roxette of course!) about a "NEW-OLD ROXETTE DVD" release!
I'll pick it up tonight, so further information about it later. But as I'm in shock, couldn't wait till there to tell you people!

Well I can say it's a DVD from Roxette Sydney Concert, in 1991, from Join the Joyride Tour. In the other hand, the photo in the cover is from "Room Service European Tour"!!!! The DVD title is "ROXETTE LIVE IN SYDNEY".

The label is an un-known company called "COQUEIRO VERDE". It seems to be a Brazilian label (portuguese name) but an information in the DVD says: produced in the US. Let's check it out later!

Track list:

Hot Blooded / Dangerous / The Big L / Watercolours in the rain / Church of Your Heart / Knockin' On Every Door / Things Will Never Be The Same / PAINT + INTERVIEW / Dressed for Success / Soul Deep / The Look / It Must Have been Love / Do You Get Excited / Joyride / Perfect Day / How Do You Do (video)

There will be also a CD about the concert, my friend said, but it's not available yet. The store already ordered some few copies from the CD "ROXETTE LIVE IN SYDNEY" too!

So, check the store site for further information about the DVD & CD ROXETTE LIVE IN SYDNEY 1991 (2009). The period I worked there, the store use to ship worldwide! So go ahead and try: (Let me know if someone needs some help!)

DVD:http://www.livrariacultura.com.br/scripts/videos/resenha/resenha.asp?nitem=15006458&sid=137169112111022488415986239&k5=1E13B393&uid=

UPDATE 1: Coquerio Verde (green palm tree) is a record label from Brazil. It belongs to Erasmo Carlos, a famous songwirter and singer from the 70's, 80's... The label is located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. SO YES, IT'S MADE IN BRAZIL!

http://www.coqueiroverderecords.com/

UPDATE 2: Just as the one reviwed on roxetteblog last month, the quality of this "new" Roxette Sydney DVD is very poor... during 'Watercolous in the rain' (one of my favourites from the concert btw) it gets worst... don't know why?

At least, they didn't do mistakes about the year! December of 1991 is mentioned. But can't say the same about the picture on the cover!!!

This concert also doesn't have the interviews from Live-Ism, only Paint + interview & signing sessions.

As it's a 'MADE IN BRAZIL' DVD, the release in the back cover is in Portuguese and the system: All NTSC! Translation folks:

"Recorded live at Sydney Entertainment Centre, in Australia, in December of 1991, this concert brings the major hit singles from the Swedish duo Roxette, with Marie Fredriksson on vocals and Per Gessle on guitar (WHAT? So he didn't sing on this show???) playing success like: 'Dangerous', 'The Look', 'Joyride' & 'It must have been love'.

Track list:
1. Hot Blooded

2. Dangerous

3. The Big L.

4. Watercolours in the rain

5. Church of Your Heart

6. Knockin' On Every Door

7. Things Will Never Be The Same

(PAINT + INTERVIEW) = OMITTED

8. Dressed for Success

9. Soul Deep

10. The Look

11. It Must Have been Love

12. Do You Get Excited

13. Joyride

14. Perfect Day

Bonus Track: How Do You Do (video)

Title also available on CD!

I'm wondering about the CD audio. News coming soon about it!

About the record label, Coqueiro Verde, it's not so "un-know" here, other releases from them: Britney Spears for the record, Avril Lavigne, Kylie Minouge 2008 Tour, REM, The Who, The Beatles Live a Budokan 1966, Eric Clapton...

*****

In September 30th, roxette blog posted about a new Live in Sydney DVD released, called "JOYRIDE IN AUSTRALIA 92″. (Just for the record, the concert happened in 1991, but... anyway). 'The man from Roxette' confirmed on twitter what all fans already knew: it was FAKE! Check the other BOOTLEG DVD RELEASE on:

The store is locaded in a "short path" called Hanway Street, which connects one of the famous streets from London - Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road. The road is very narrow if compared with the others 2, so this is the charm of the place. In its extension, there are independent stores including two record stores, a bar, a DJ store, hair salon and a jewellers.

The second hand store has many hard-to-find stuffs like LPs, 12", 7" and some CDs and singles. You can also find many old magazines, newspapers and collectors items like: t-shirts, posters, bottons... All the stuffs you can find in many shelves decoreted with old newspapers around the 2 rooms and also "hanging on the walls"! Yes! The "decoration" takes you back to the 80's! Really cool! Only one advise: if you are allergic to dust, please take a mask with you!!! Yes the store also has Roxette LP'S and singles and also Gyllene Tider! Gessle influence after 2005? As Per always says, "Who knows!"

The owner told me very proud his store became more famous after Per Gessle was there. He mentioned the shop has being visited by Roxette fans since 2005. He had a SOAP CD (sent by Per) exposed next the cashier. When I entered in the store and asked him if I could do some shoots he promptly said yes and showed his SOAP CD! He put the CD on (very loud!) when I was filming the place and also said a "hello to Per Gessle" during the movie! Great man! Very patience with the fans by the way!

"MESSAGE TO PER": 'c'mon' Per, sent him a SOAP LP too as the store is a vinyl store! The LP is missing he said!

So if you are in London, please don't miss this "Roxette Place!" And if you really are a “Gessle adicted”, you should buy a Tom Petty LP(**) there!

Here some ideas to great photos on it! As always... Have fun, be fan!!!

To my non-rox-friends:

(*) Why S.O.A.P. as a name of the album? Because Per's father, Kurt, was a plumber! Then he's a "Son Of A Plumber" of course! His son, Gabriel Titus Gessle, for exemple, is a "Son Of A Singer!" Rsss...

(**) Per Gessle has a Tom Petty LP in his hand in the cover of SOAP album!!!

RELACIONADO COM ROXETTE: PER GESSLE FEZ A SEÇÃO DE FOTOS DO S.O.A.P. ALBUM DENTRO DA LOJA, EM 2005. (Página 85 do meu próximo e inédito livro! Aprovado por uma editora já!)

Uma das mais descoladas lojas de vinis em Londres, On the Beat é conhecida no "mundo Roxette" por que o Per Gessle esteve lá em 2005, para fotografar para seu 2ndo album solo em inglês, o Son Of A Plumber - S.O.A.P.(*)

A loja é localizada num tipo de "beco-atalho" chamado Hanway Street, que conecta uma das mais importantes ruas de Londres, a Oxford Street à outra grande avenida chamada Tottenham Court Road. A rua é bem pequena e estreita se comparada às 2 avenidas que liga, o que a torna um lugar muito charmoso. Em sua extenção, existe muitas lojas independentes, incluindo: 2 lojas de musica, um bar, uma loja especializada em artigos pra DJs, um salão de beleza e uma joalheria.

A loja tem muitos materiais raros em LPs, 12", 7" e alguns CDs e singles. Você também pode achar revistas e jornais antigos e muitos itens de colecionadores, como: camisetas, posters, bottons... Você encontra todos os materiais nos balcões decorados com jornais antigos localizados nos 2 ambientes da loja e também "pendurados nas paredes"! Sim! A "decoração" leva você de volta aos anos 80! Muito legal! Mas apenas uma ressalva: se você é alérgico, leve uma máscara com você! Sim, a loja também tem LPs e singles do Roxette e do Gyllene Tider! Será por influência do Per depois de 2005? Bem, como ele mesmo diz, "Who knows!" ("Quem sabe!".... "Vai saber!")

O dono me disse muito orgulhoso que sua loja ficou mais famosa depois que o Per esteve lá. Ele mencionou que a loja tem sido visitada por muitos fans do Roxette desde 2005. Ele tem um CD do SOAP (enviado pelo Per) exposto perto do caixa. Quando eu entrei na loja e perguntei se poderia filmar e fotografar, ele promtamente disse SIM e mostrou seu CD do SOAP! Ele inclusive colocou o CD pra tocar (bem alto!) na loja quando eu estava filmando e disse um "hello" pro Per durante a filmagem! Velhinho muito fofo! E muito paciente com os fans também... rsss

"MENSSAGEM PARA O PER": 'c'mon' Per, manda um LP do S.O.A.P. pra ele também, já que a loja é de vinyl! O LP está faltando ele disse!

Então se você está em Londres, não perca este "Roxette Place!" E se você é realmente um fan do Per, você deve comprar um LP do Tom Petty (**) lá!

Aqui vai algumas idéias de fotos pra tirar lá! Como sempre... Have fun, be fan!!!

Para meus amigos que não "manjão" de Roxette & Cia:

(*) Por que S.O.A.P. como nome do album? Porque o pai do Per, Kurt, era um 'plumber' (bombeiro encanador)! Então, como 1+1=2 ele é um "Son Of A Plumber" (filho de encanador! Essa tradução me mata!) O filho do Per, por exemplo, o Gabriel Titus Gessle, é um "Son Of A Singer!" (filho de cantor) Rsss...

(**) O Per tem um LP do Tom Petty na mão dele na foto da capa do SOAP!!!

A PARTY PLEASER OVER EUROPE! (updated)

2009-09-24T12:51:00.018-03:00

Once upon a time, there was a party pleaser... over Europe... again...

It was the 1st spring day here in the south hemisphere... flowers even in the moon... Gessle finaly announced his DVD was ready! Feeling so proud of it, he posted the path to the trailler on his twitter...

Thousands of fans watched it... I couldn't because I was at my work... no facilities in my computer there.

Suddenly I realise my email box and twitter had more messages than usual... what's happening? Gessle in Brazil?!? Roxette in Brazil?!? NOTP in Brazil?!?

When I checked the messages... a "p-p-p-p-panic face" came out...

So I checked my fave rox site, roxetteblog.com, and there was me, in a screenshoot from the trailler... w-o-w-!

So I counted the minutes to come back home... as I was "the devil" in a "halloween party" this weekend, I almost send my boss to the hell... hej! I must go back home!!!

Couldn't believe when I watched it... the trailler started with me... WHAT? Or as my british teacher used to say "beg your pardon?"

There was me, talking about my "Gessle tattoos", I think... about my Leif's tattoo (near belly button). Hmm... "dirty" report, asked to see it!!! Rsssss

Mini-Flashback-story: Ted's mom, Irene, showed it to Per in Halmstad, because I would forgot it again, like in 2007!!! He loved! -"wow look where Leif is!" (Åsa and Gabriel "4 President" also turned their heads to see it)

As I was with a Leif's button on my "picnic" scarf (made by Alison/UK to London concert... good girl!) I think I mentioned "there are Leif everywhere!"... "Leif is the king!"

It probably made Gessle laugh a lot! So I think my "testemonial" got the attention of our king! Still wondering why me and my brazilian friends in the beggining of the trailler! It's too good to be true that I still don't believe...!

Flavia (Recife) appears pointing to Leif's button in her t-shirt and doing "the v pose"! Her aunt (Recife) and Grasi (Po.A. too) appears also laughin with Jaque (Sao Paulo) and Dr.Bruno! (Sao Paulo). Where was Marcilio & Tati (Brasilia) btw?

Well, after many sweet messages from my friends, I believe it! The feelings? Well it looks like I won in the lottery!!! Among thousands of Gessle wonderful fans, I was chosen "to open his trailler", what should I say when I can't find the words... well with humility, I say it made me very proud and happy! You can see the fireworks in my eyes from miles away!!! Another cinderella's days in the wonderland called Sweden! "Hon vill ha puls!!!"

Oh Per... YOU ARE -DEFINETELY- MY KING! Always surprising me... "every day, every night, I sing la la la la la"...

With my sence of humour... it makes me think in a Mastercard add:

U$2000 on airplane tickets...

U$800 on Gessle CD's & DVD's...

To be on Gessle DVD... priceless!

*** "Dany travelled to Europe using her Mastercard! What about you? Send your story!"

GESSLE WORDS ABOUT ROXETTE 2009 ALBUM VERSIONS

2009-08-26T10:32:00.004-03:00

After some ":-( messages" in twitter about Roxette remasters versions, Per sent a message to confort the "thirsty" fans:

"The reason why EMI is re-releasing and re-mastering all the Rox albums is because they are out of print in some territories". - RIGHT, IN BRAZIL THEY ARE SOLD OUT! EXCEPT HAND & ROOM SERVICE!

"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." - RIGHT! SO THE NEW VERSIONS CAN'T BE MUCH DIFERENT FROM THE OLD ONES.

"We’ll find other ways to do that, trust me. Cheers, P.(er Gessle)"

- GREAT! WE TRUST YOU "FROM HEAD TO TOE"! SO WE WILL KEEP HOLDING ON FOR A ROXETTE PACK WITH DEMOS, UNRELEASED SONGS, LIVE, REMIXES... "FAN HOT STUFFS"!

HAVE PATIENCE WITH FANS, BE IDOL!

HAVE FUN, BE FAN! ROXETTE YOURSELF!

IT MUST HAVE BEEN... WEDDING

2009-08-21T12:55:00.008-03:00

1 year ago I signed the papers and became “Mrs.Kohlrausch”! But the celebration day that make it official to everyone (with white dress and so on) would be today! On August 21st!
But I had to cancel it because another “party” needed me this early April & May!
Well this “party” almost “crashed” my life! It almost cost me a divorce even before the ceremony!!!

My almost-ex-husband send a message to Per: “Next time we will get married on your stage!” Well, it could be a good idea as I chose “Church of your heart” song to enter in the church!!!
The wedding was transferred to 2010… same date… but I must check Ge$$le and Fredrik$$on $chedule$ before planning it officially!

All Roxette fans are invited by the way!!! Send your directions that I send the invitation!!! My wedding list will be on ebay or tradera!!! Hahahaha…

It’s also planned to be a big rox party (of course, my favorite music!) with a bit of Madonna! Why? Because there will be a Madonna Sticky and Sweet Cover Tour Performance on my wedding! YES I’m a little bit crazy… as everybody know… Claps to Veronica Pires, the official Madonna Interpreter in Brazil that will give us the concert as wedding present!

About the date… Coincidence? Hmmm… “Do you believe in accidents?!”
Have fun, be fan (atic)! Leave! Breathe!

civil wedding get together in 2008.

Veronica Pires, Madonna Brazilian Official Cover in 2 moments: Sticky and Sweet Promo tour, named as "Lollypop Brazilian Tour 2008" and during her new Tour "Sticky and Sweet Cover Tour - South America 2009." She rocks!

Register: Never say anything near a report, could be dangerous!
PS.: Per sung "Church of your heart" on the Tour by the way!!!

CELEBRATING MADONNA!

2009-08-19T15:43:00.023-03:00

MADONNA STICKY AND SWEET BRAZILIAN TOUR!

YES Madonna cameback with her Sticky and Sweet Tour this year!

And as everybody is talking about her and her tour again... even Per Gessle that attended her concert in Ullevi, Göteborg/Sweden some days ago, I decided to do a revival of her Brazilian Tour!

She PERformed in Brazil in 2008. There were 5 sold-out concerts here:

December 14 & 15 in Rio de Janeiro and December 18, 20 & 21 in São Paulo.

I enjoyed her concerts in Sao Paulo... so here some nice photos of the trip & concerts.

Curiosities:

Some Brazilian fans arrived with tends 1 month before the concert!!! This is the "1st row rules" here! I can hear your "wow" now after reading this... haha... have (not so many) fun, be fan!

No, I didn't camp in the line! I was at the 1st row but in the siting area!!! I only "take risks" on Roxette and Gessle concerts!!! Rox On!

Of couse that newspapers found me! Always... impossible to hide... I tried to scape, but I couldn't... have fun, be fan Dany! Face the reporters! Sing on television (almost killed Madonna song!), and show your "creative Madonna style"!!!...

... Yes I'm always with a different "avatar"!!! But This time no "Mrs.Gessle" jacket, but a Madonna Adidas look, boots (something like "this boots are made for walking..."), many "like a virgin" neckless and... "a Britney hat" (they said)! What a miscelany look! Yah these is me! A megamix!

Enjoy this crazy story of the day...

On the photos:

Yes my "almost-ex-future-husband" went we me! He likes Madonna (and hates Per Gessle! Of course... because I was a "Gessle Girl" in the past... was?!? Anyway... forget about it!)

Also in the photo my best college friend Larissa Martins & Grasiela Ceccato (a rox friend too)

The Daily Roxette got hold of Per just before leaving for Jurmala, Latvia and the New Wave festival where Roxette will perform "for real" for the first time in 8 years tomorrow. Per says they are bringing C&C - Christoffer and Clarence on bass and keyboards respectively, Pelle Alsing on drums and Jonas Isacsson on guitar. Per has super-charged his Gretsch this time. It seems Roxette will play the same five songs as on the Night of the Proms; "Wish I Could Fly," "The Look," "Joyride," "It Must Have Been Love" and "Listen to Your Heart." And just to be clear; since this is a TV-show Roxette will not be performing live, but lipsync.

POETRY OF THE DAY: 2007

Dany according to a Dutch Rox Friend... Jean

My friend is not for a one-night-stand.

I believe I can trust this person, so okay. I give permission.

I will tell you something, it could take the whole evening.

This woman knows a lot of things, ask her something and she can give you wings.

A perfume she loves to wear, the bottle she handles with care.

Live as much as you can, and look at the people for the real man.

She has strange things in her mind, but always positive, she is so kind.

Travelling is for her a must, but she is so fast, like speedy Gonzales, you only see the dust.

Eating is a funny need but she preferes to buy CDs on every street!

If she hears music, just let her, for her it's just a fever.

Roxette is her passion and she is always ready to go! Action!

Mistakes? Silly, Really?

Dear Diary... as my blog is "international" now, I'm here (before complains about the grammar!) to apologize for my mistakes or up-coming mistakes in english and spanish. But as I'm in a hurry to post the articles to do the ROX ATTACK as sooner as we can, I didn't have time to correct!
I also didn't finish the blog yet... (sorry! It came out before I expect!) so it needs some final arts, colors, layout... so it will be changing around the week!!! I just need a break at my job!

PS.: About 1 complain: I HATE to write the word "fan" in portuguese... sounds strange... "fã"... ãh! (ö!)
So you will only see it in English!
I also need to include ( ¨ , ´, `...) in some words... (teachers and lärare will gonna kill me for killing the grammar!!!)

But HAVE FUN, BE FAN! ROXETTE YOURSELF! ATTACK!
