Son of a Plumber single leaked online

Written by tevensso on November 6, 2005 to .

STOCKHOLM - According to TDR’s sources, the new Son of a Plumber single can already be found online. Both songs are easily available in full, however, with periods of silence inserted. Most probably someone has ripped a prelistening CD.

  Per comments to TDR that “this is something you probably have to live with.”

that’s just making me sad when people’s doin’ like that, illegal.
I won’t try to find it, though I’m looking forward so much
to hear it on radio tomorrow..

MartinGIGA said on :

If a reporter ripped the single - why should there be this silences?? Seems to me that the record company put the singles online as a “teaser” and as well to avoid the full songs being spread over the filesharing tools...

I’m also waiting for the radio airing - when will it be??

cheers, martin

roxlad said on :

well said Martin!

Max-Tob said on :

yea, it really sucks. found them earlier this morning, listened to them, got annoyed by those silences and deleted them. it’s simply stupid. no excitement for tomorrow anymore...the only excitement that’s left is for the single itself, when I’ll have it in my hands. but it’s gonna take ages till it’ll reach me here in paris. in short, i’m totally disappointed: no full songs today, still no excitement for tomorrow. that’s the worst.

Jud (moderator) said on :

you should have waited until tomorrow to listen to the song in full ;)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Tomorrow is the radio date, always has been...
Surely EMI, who won’t put up 40-second snippets on Per’s own site, wouldn’t put out the single on the Internet?? It can’t be anything else than the advance listening deal. Glad that EMI finally learned something, and added these blanks...

*shrugs*
surprise surprise...
well, i won’t be hearing it again it any shape or form until i throw the single into the cd player.

I just listened to this and quite enjoyed it! Still just a sample and not the whole thing yet. The song sounds alot more upbeat once youve heard the Jo-Anna Says ’holey’ version. Looking forward to hearing the whole song!

Roxrider_USA said on :

Both songs with those silent parts, although annoying, are a nice way in my opinion to give people the thirst queching preview of the songs while it still makes people want to get the actual album and the full songs. Just makes the exciment biuld even more.

The guitar ending in C’mon is really cool.

So, anyone know if the songs will be played on the radio stations starting 12:00 am in Sweden, as it would be already monday there or maybe some time after 6:00 am? Any guess on whch station is more likely to play the songs sooner ?

Hope someone else will try to record the songs too. I’m all set.

Good luck people holding on until the radio premiere!! It’s tough but we can do it. :-)

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Up to the stations to decide. My best guess would be Rix FM, they are usually fast about Per.

bandquitter said on :

So stupiT...

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Tevensso: Thanks. Let’s see what we can do.

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

chrisjankunas said on :

Well I havent heard it - and I wont hear it tomorrow being in the UK and all. Ill have to wait.

Cicci_ said on :

I hate when things like this happens... Anyway, I won’t listen to it until tomorrow...
You can listen to Rix FM at their website, although I can’t remember the address right now...

ally77 said on :

I stream Rix FM all the time! :) I love the morning show!

Roxrider_USA said on :

It’s monday in Sweden already.

Any one has had any luck so far ?

I’m listening to Rix FM.

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

Leila said on :

I’m listening to Rix Fm now but I haven’t heard the song yet.

royalball said on :

It’s still Sunday Evening (2100) here in California...waiting for Rix to play a single!

PiR_GeSSLe said on :

Rix FM has announced “Son of a Plumber - Jo-Anna says” as a new song of the week. They have played like 5 seconds of the song while they made the announcement.

It’s 6:16am in Sweden, but the song doesn’t get airplay yet... and I should go to bed!

AURYTE said on :

I still haven’t heard Son Of A Plumber, but I’ve got the luck to hear Marie’s Ännu Doftar Kärlek.

Thanks ally77 for those links :)

Ramas said on :

Where do I begin today ?
Where do colours never change ?
In the sunshine in the rain,
it’s quite the same,
it’s never gonna change,
I’ve been looking for “Jo-anna says”

:)

ally77 said on :

I just heard it mentioned!

Modesty said on :

RixFm just said they would play the single later this hour

ally77 said on :

Keep tuning in! :)

Max-Tob said on :

as it is played right now on Rix fm...TORTURA!!! arghh!!

Vixzter said on :

oh good i left soundforge recording on my pc at home ;-)

Ramas said on :

So much ads... unlistenable radio station...

PeterGm said on :

If I were EMI I would hand prelistening CDs to selected media, and maybe have slight variations on each version... maybe different running times, or blanks on different points in the song... whatever the leak is, you can track down the leaker... and tell them off! :)

ally77 said on :

Keep waiting!

ally77 said on :

Ohhhhhhhhhh Vix you are recording it.... :) hello!! if you email it to me, I’ll buy you lots of Beer next year! :)

Max-Tob said on :

It’s my LAST time when listening to such a crapy radio station!!!! It’s simply unbelievably awful what I got to hear in the last two hours! Can’t believe I had so much patience and that pg is going to be played “in a while” among these pieces of shit!!!

ally77 said on :

Rix FM is fine.... it’s just like my local radio station, lots of adverts!

Ramas said on :

Finally, they said Nasta: Jo-anna says !!! Of course, after tons of adverts, i guess ;)

ally77 said on :

Here we go!

PeterGm said on :

ITS ON NOW!! FROM AUSTRALIA AND FIRST SONG I LISTENED TOOOO!!! WOO HOO!!!

ally77 said on :

Dreams........ away!

felicity-brown said on :

haha just as I put Rix FM on, here it is now :D ...really love this song!

ally77 said on :

Worth the wait to hear it in full finally..... I love it! :) Gessle is back! but then again did he ever go away!

Sommargarden said on :

Coolies that is - RixFM is really a good station

PeterGm said on :

still i think it is the sound and feel we always get with Per...in other words: Per is still Gessling :)

per_mson said on :

@PeterGM: I think that would be really expensive for EMI... ;-)

Just heard the song on RixFM now! :) It rocks! :-))

Max-Tob said on :

ok. now how ’bout “c’mon” ?...another two hours of waiting?

ally77 said on :

Ha Ha Fliss that was lucky!

felicity-brown said on :

sometimes, you know ;)

ally77 said on :

I’d been listening for ages... mind you have been listening to Rix for months in the mornings...

felicity-brown said on :

Yeah, I also listen to it now and then - makes a nice change :)

...”bäst musik just nu” :P

Txiqui said on :

It’s great!! just heard it in rixfm thanx to internet!
now i’m waiting for the second song to be played.

ally77 said on :

With a bit of luck they will play C’mon! :)

tevensso (moderator) said on :

I doubt Rix will play C’mon, I think they will stick to the chosen song.

Roxrider_USA said on :

Awesome song!!! Speechless.

Ready to go to my Creative Zen Micro mp3 player!!

Carlos E., New York.

PeterGm said on :

but wouldnt they have an arrangement to play both? Being a double-A-side? whats the point then?

Roxrider_USA said on :

There!

Dressed_for_success said on :

another short “new this week- son of a plumber with Jo-anna says” , and then 5 seconds from the song.. it’s something, they’re mentioning it often ^^

ally77 said on :

I keep skipping to other stations... but I gotta go out soon for about an hour.... I bet I miss it!

Jackeill said on :

did anybody record c’mon ?

tevensso (moderator) said on :

You can now listen to both songs on the official site...

http://www.aftonbladet.se/ettor/webb/29_normal.html

Roxrider_USA said on :

And i’m almost passing out. Too tired and sleepy now. I gotta get some rest.... At least, i was able to record JS and upload it.

C ’mon will have to wait.

Going to sleep. I’ll try again later on.

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

ally77 said on :

No worries... thanx Carlos!

Vixzter said on :

Roxryder-V2002 said on :

thanx so much :)

IV_ROX said on :

Thanks a bunch, Carlos!
Can’t stop listening to it now:) And I was the one who doubted our devoted King Of Pop would have done a great piece of work....I’ll just shut up and listen:)))

P.S. Did you notice the way he pronounces “candle” in the second verse, sounds like a “condo”(from condominium) to me?

Max-Tob said on :

thanx so much Carlos for keeping Jo-Anna in place!! lol

does anybody have c’mon in full version?..just got back from work and I kinda lost track...did they play it on the radio anyway?

Roxvet said on :

Check The Quicktimes!!!!
Son of a plumber website updated!!
Intro Video of Per’s recordings uploaded!!!!
It’s funny!!!!!!!!!!!

Max-Tob said on :

hey, that’s ’old’ news buddy!

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Max-Tob: She’s in place!!! lol Told you i’d stay and record it. But i gotta tell you, It was such a torture to endure all those head-spliting songs last night.

At least we have version of JS to listen to until we get our albums in the mail.

Take care!
Carlos E., New York.

Max-Tob said on :

Just keep her still till I come her way!! LOOOOOOOOL

Max-Tob said on :

i’m kinda worried though for “c’mon”...how come they didnt play it on the radio?...ok, maybe not rix fm, but some other station maybe?...is it possible not to like it?...i hope not.

Roxrider_USA said on :

@Max-Tob: lol lol..

I guess they’ll play it. Maybe they will give Jo-Anna some airplay time before starting to play C’mon.

Carlos E., New York.

IV_ROX said on :

Joanna is more radio friendly than C’mon, I think that’s the reason. If I were the head of music in a radiostation I would have picked JS too.

@Carlos, what other music do you listen to besides Roxette and related( you mentioned some head splitting songs on Rix FM). I was listening this morning too and it was alright: Madonna, Sugababes, Bon Jovi to mention a few. But yeah, I guess if you have to stay tuned for hours it could get rough:)

Thank you again for sharing JS with all of us!

Rox On!

WHAT A GOOD NEWS!!!
Gessle has got a lot of money, there is no problem if his songs are avaiable online.
I don´t understand why the people says that they will not listen the songs.
We are in the year 2005 in the internet age, and if Mr. Gessle says that he doesn´t work for the money, where is the problem?
Thanks for the ripping people. C´mon with the whole album.
