NEW SINGLE DUE 5th OF AUGUST 2002!!!

170 replies

Mee too where’s the truth anyway? We’re all waiting for good news but we can have only rumors...

Editors Note: This Posting can not be accepted anymore.

They played it? Is it for real???

if you are joking I will cut your ears

if you are right then we will all love you for this message

did they really play the song on RSH? I am sure that Per can do things like writing the best song on earth (like he has already done some times) but after the last years people will have doubts about it. Let´s hope he and Marie can prove them wrong!!

:-D

On the radio’s website there’s nothing about this...

This sounds like any rox fans’ dream... maybe it is? If it’s an uptempo song, as reported, the news about a Ballad album doesn’t really make sence, now does it? Another hoax..?.. anyways, pass me the Chateau Libertas & a smoke.

OH MY GOD - I THINK I HAVE PEED MYSELF I AM SO EXCITED!

If this person is lying, blood will be spilt!

Guys, believe what I am saying! It is not a haux, why would Radio Schleswig Holstein do that? Sure they would loose a lot of trust of their listeners...

yeah - that may well be...by why is it only Holstein Schleswig radio that has this info - surely there should have been a full scale media announcement?

Then again, nothing would surprise me with Roxette’s promotions!

LOL

Maybe someone from Germany could call the station and ask if it’s real...
http://www.rsh.de is the website of the station.

And that radio station is in Ireland?(Brian is..) How do they get the singel first?
ROx-on D-san

I just wrote an email to RSH.

5th August would be in two weeks, seems quite impossible for me but let´s wait for the answer of RSH.

you all are fools believing that.
Mark my words

You didn’t by chance happen to record this?

Give us the link to this article!!!

There’s no such article on their site.

I’VE JUST HEARD IT!!!!!!

OH MY GOD!!!!!!

(no I’m joking, I haven’t)

Ha!

EDITOR’S NOTE: There is NO TRUTH to this story. According to EMI, it was completely fabricated. – LEO

I know someone else who is from Ireland... Do you?

sorry - I know it was a naughty thing to do...just really bored with the lack of REAL hard news about Roxette.

Come on mummy Marie and daddy Per give some REAL sugar.

HI!!!! It is true! I happened to hear it as well this morning on Enjoy Radio!
It is funny though, how Brian is able to listen to a German Radio Station, but then again, he knows the name of the Station... doesn’t matter, coz I heard it as well, maybe Brian is on a holyday... Gosh, I know, some things sound to good to be true, but I guess, we can also just believe somethings sometime...
besides that, it is not an amazing news that a band has got a new song out, it is going to be amazing news, once the song is Number 1! I heard the song on Enjoy Radio as well, it is the Best Rox Song, without any doubts...

bla bla bla, LINKS LINKS!!!!!

Anyone else who wants to lie?

I am Elvis.....is that a good one?

Yesterday i did spoke to Mr Per on the phone and he said:”There is a big thing going to happen tomorrow and you and other fans will like it!!” and ofcourse he said Hi to all of you.....

bless him - he is always so sweet - I was having a BBQ last week with marie, as you do, and she told me that really she is 26, not 41 or whatever.. who would have thought it!

Hi Guys! I do not get it, I mean, I even heard it on Radio as well. Let’s not put anyone down here, seriously now, maybe the radio station got wrong informations... roxette fans should keep together, be strong together and not put each other down for heavens sake!
Who else heard anything about it?

Psascha is living in dreams I think.

well if it is true - then why isn’t there anything on roxette.se. I don’t wanna doubt anyone - and I don’t wanna put anyone down (sorry if I have) - but so often with Roxette there are such exciting rumours - that turn out to be nothing! *sniff*

WHERE IS THE BLOODY ROXETTENEWS.COM WHEN YOU NEED IT??????

EDITOR’S NOTE: You’re a little behind on this Mathew... we’ve already stated that this story is NOT true. It was labeled “bullocks” by the source we checked with. When a story like this IS true... you would find it on the Front Page of The Daily Roxette... and we’re still publishing.

Brian you know you have to pray now coz if there will be no new song you have mentioned i’ll get we’ll all get you and we will KILL YOU SLOWLY...

btw if it was truth, sb would confirmed it...

@ Brian: what are sample lyrics of the song? and why you didn’t record only a part of this? it’s not so hard...

bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i don’t believe.... Brian is dead yup that’s for sure

I have written an E-Mail to “Schleswig-Holstein radio statio. Now we have to wait to the answer.

Hallo!!

Ich habe eine Frage. Gerüchtemäßig soll in Ihrer Sendung “Rock und Pop Musik” darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden sein, dass am 5.08. eine überraschende neue roxette single erscheinen soll (“Sinking”). Können Sie mir das bestätigen??

Danke im Voraus
MfG

Christian Haulena
@Sascha: Right, rox fans should keep together.
Cheers
Christian
MY ship is sinking nanna
or something like that
very excited

Ha,ha,ha! God joke! LOL
I don´t belive that. If they really released a single on 5th august we would hear it from EMI direct.

hm but with roxette everything is possible :) they aren’t quite favourable for us are they ? rox even haven’t let us listen to new version of stupid...

however i don’t believe in it but that’s another story! :)

ppl please write in english here i speak only 3 languages and i have nothing to do with german :)

I understand some German. As far as I understood, the e-mail to the Radio says somthing like this:

Hi,
I have a question. There are rumours than in your show “Rock and Pop Music” it was announced that a sew surprise single from Roxette with the title “Sinking” will be released on August 5. Can you confirm that??

WHERE ARE YOU BRIAN??

Answer to me carefully:
DID YOU REALLY LISTENED TO THAT SONG?
DID YOU HEAR MARIE’S VOICE(OR PER’S)?

Uhhhhmm... NO! I don’t believe this for a minute. People, how many times have we been down this road before. I know that it would be great if it were true but do you really think that we would have heard nothing up to now, a mere 2 weeks before the supposed release? Plus, there are not many among us with more legitimate connections into the Rox-world than Lars-Erik. If he’s says it’s a fabrication, I’m going to believe him. Now, if by some miracle, it turns out to be true, I’ll be the first to send my apologies.

Cheers!

Should i believe this???
Maybe it is true,but why does nobody believe this????
I mean, when i’m thinking about it,Per’s wife started to cry when she first heard it,while it’s an up-tempo song,Marie thinks it’s the best song he ever written,they say this with every new album and the tittle song is ’sinking’ there are a lot of people who says that roxette isn’t the roxette of a few years ago,....if you know what i mean
Let’s hope we are all wrong.

Very simple, folks...just check at www.bmi.com.

If this song really exists (a certain deja vu in my mind says so) it’s already registered...after all, just two weeks are left to its release.

Go there, look for Per Gessle as song writer and bara-beem-bara-bam-bara-Per Hakan...yuk!

5th of august is my b-day, just like gabriël’s......
and brian is a *sshole IF he lies..........

For those of you who missed this before...

THIS STORY WAS A HOAX. TDR investigated the story... and discovered, just as we had expected, that the story was simply made up. A spokesperson at EMI Sweden called it “bullocks.”

Rather than delete this thread... let’s just all let it die now. PLEASE... no further comments on this topic. Instead, we’ll have some REAL news for you in a day or two.

according to the interwiev with per in swedish radio the single will be released in september

Daniël, please give a transcript of this interview!
And all the other people who hear true storíes: TELL THEM, to dailyroxette, roxettenews, in this forum or whatever!!!!!
Lars-Erik, I hope you hold your promise to give us real news in 2 days!!!!!
JAAP

Hi Guys. Well, I am kinda annoyed right now, maybe because I heard the similar stuff on a different Radio Station as well. How should Brian could have recorded all of that, you know, when I heard it on the Radio, I did not want to go looking for a tape to record it to, coz by the time I would have found it all, everythign would have been over... instead I just listened and enjoyed...
it is funny though, that we never heard anything more after that on the Radio or other Web Sites... that really puzzles me... maybe, and that is just a thought that came to me... maybe, someone of EMI, maybe someone that got fired... maybe this person wanted to ruin Roxette or do bad business for them and just phoned a couple of big radio stations and told them this story... maybe even provided an unreleased song from the past or something....
Currently I am still waiting for an answer of the Radio Station I heard it from, I wrote to them and wanted to know, were they got it from and if they could play this song again...

Well, thanks PSascha, finally someone is here that heard the same thing, even on a different Radio Station!!! At least I am not the only one all the other Rox Fan’s can get angry with.... So Psascha, tell me, how did you like the song? Don’t you think Marie is in the Best Form she was ever in? Especially the PArt when she sings, “And I am sinking, you take me down...” I think it was something like that, that part of the song gave me shivers all over my body! With this song she proofs to have got one of the best Rock/Pop voices ever in Music Business... but that’s just my opinion, maybe some Fans will get annoyed with me again now for saying that????
And this is a Message for everybody now!
PLEASE STOP MAILING TO ME ALL YOUR THREADS JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK I MADE THE STORY UP!!!

Hi Brian. You are so right, it gave me shivers as well! I always try to sing the song, or at least the music over and over again in my head, because I don’t want to forget it... I wonder though, if the song really will be released. Do you know what I mean? It seems like, some Radio Station got the Wrong Information... but until the 5th of August, I will believing it and try to get it in the Shops...
I think it could well have made Åsa cry, I mean, the slow part in it, when Maries beautiful voice sings so soft: “Why can’t you hold me? Don’t you see that I am sinking, Oh please just hold me, hold me close to you, oh Baby I am sinking, deeper and deeeeper, I am sinking, oh baby I am sinking...” it almost made me hold my breath! Serious.

This may be another confirmation on what Internet really is. In one way or the other...

hm PSasha can be found only in replies of this topic and it’s quite new “fan” on tdr... it could be possible that brian and sasha is the same person, they’re both new and they’re telling this weird story.

how song with such crappy lyrics can be the best in the world ? “i’m sinking”, “hold me baby” it’s so stupid i could write something better... Brian, PSasha... sorry your joke (which is in a very bad style) is coming out...

ok that was the first part of the investigation, there is another one:)

why LEO is denying this information in such way ? he said st about deleting this post or maybe not answering to it anymore... and that he is promising he will have some news for us in 2 days. isn’t that weird too?

maybe he is hiding st ?

—-that was my thinkig only—-

I don’t know about PSascha, but I am not new to this tire at all! I think you are right though, I believe as well that the Webmaster is hiding somehting, he will have news in two or three days... I mean, how do you know, that you are going to have news in two or three days? He must know something!
Well, maybe they all tried to make it a huge surprise to the World with the new single and all... but somehow it got out! Maybe this is why this Topic is so tempting to be deleted! So it is going to no Old News in two days when you can read abut the new single on the front page...
About the lyrics... Typical Roxette lyrics I think... I mean, for example the part in sleeping in my car.. “The night is so pretty and so young...” cheeeesy, or in Jefferson “I say a prayer for, someone I care for...” You would not have believed those lyrics either before you heard the song.... If you think about it, it is not the worst Gessle Lyrics in sinking, it is true, not the best ones either, I thought so when I listened to it anyway... but the music and the sound and how lyrics get delivered is the most important part of a song... I mean the Lyrics “I am a Barby Girl, in a barby world, life is plastic, its fantastic....” Most crappy lyrics in the World, still it became one of the biggest hits ever all over the World....
don’t judge a song before you heard it!

I got it: Brian is Per!!!

He wanted us fans to be the first to know about his new song! And we don´t believe him... :-( He must be disappointed now. Sorry, Per!

Btw, I didn´t get an answer from the radio station.

This topic is fun!!

Barbie Girl one of the biggest hits ever???? Gee, man, what have you taken? Barbie Girl is one of the crappiest songs ever, it’s not noted at all. How could you say it’s one of the biggest hits ever? Have you ever watched an ’All time Top 100’ on VH1 or anywhere else? Did they mention Aqua? No, they didn’t.

That posting from you have ruined your credibility even more.

soryy Pietro, but it WAS a huge hit, but also a one-day-fly, that’s why it isn’t mentioned in such lists.....

It was Number one in uncountable Countries... of course it is crap... but still it has sold Millions of Copies... It has sold even more than any Roxette single ever did...
I think all countries that had this song Number one should be ashamed... it is one of the worst songs ever...

But it is NEVER part of the biggest hits of all times. Everybody has forgotten about it a long time ago.
And I’m sure The Look or Joyride sold WAY MORE copies than this sh!t.

everybody know, USA is the biggest Market in Music.... can you imagine how much a song sells there a week being Number one? The Look only spent one week at Number one there... Barby Girl spent more than two Months being Number one alone... that is embarassing for them US Guys I think!

One thing’s for sure:

THERE WILL BE *NO* NEW ROXETTE SINGLE ON AUGUST 5TH 2002.

THOSE RADIO STATIONS GOT WRONG INFORMATION.

Guys, Guys, Guys! I think it’s time to slow down for a second. Give Brian the benefit of the doubt... nobody could prove yet that his story turned out to be a Hoax... exept LEO. However, LEO are clearly not being honist himself when saying that there will be “news in a day or two”... why only in a day or 2... why not NOW? Say that (he) would delete this discussion makes him look even more shady. Why would anyone’s freedom of speach be questioned? maybe EMI does have something to hide? Some strange new maketing strategy that doesn’t include the Roxette fans... wouldn’t suprise me.

To the editor... please do explain your actions as it does not seem ethical... to say the least. And BTW, should you have a comment of your own, DO NOT POST IT WITHIN SOMEBODY ELSE’S POST... it’s a very bad impression on you. Heaven knows if something was altered.

ATTENTION ALL ROX FANS! JUST OBSERVE THE WAY “BRIAN” AND “PSACHA” WRITE! I MEAN THE STYLE OF WRITING THE LANGUAGE THEY USE,THEIR TEXTS’ FORM! HAHAHAHA ITS OBVIOUS THAT IT IS THE SAME PERSON!

BUSTED MR TAMBOLINA HEHEHEHE!!!!

SORRY PPL ITS OBVIOUS THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO PULL A JOKE -A BAD ONE TRUE- AND WHEN HE REALISED HE DIDNT MAKE IT HE MADE UP THIS OTHER “PERSON” TO SAVE HIS CREDIBILITY.

IM SORRY FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVED,ITS REALLY LOW TO GIVE FALSE HOPE AND JOY *

I have to agree with you. I even received really stupid emails from the Webmaster here... I think I should post it to this page here... so you all could see how angry he was, just because I mentioned the Single release yesterday.

Reserve the Caps Please!

Just wait and you will see, that the single is cominng out soon and all of you that sent me abusive emails because of what I have mentioned here, you all will feel so STUPID!

Please, do post it Brian... I think there is more to the story than meets the eye.

@vaxjoe: the first time you’re agreeing with me :)

however just look up all tdr posts... there are many ppl who are writing in similiar style... there is only vaxjoe who use caps lock and me who don’t respect any BIG CHARACTERS :) even i write “i” instead of I about myself :) think about it :)

Vaxjoe, thats not really nice. Have you not read anything I written.
Kisses 2 you!

that’s me once again:

ppl stop flame on Brian... do you remember when long time ago there were rumours about room service...? and sb i can’t remember who told us whole tracklist with description of each song. hey i remember nobody believed that! nobody!!!

so... give Brian a little credit... has in him a little faith....

i don’t say he’s right, i don’t believe it also but... hey STOP fighting each other. we will get him on 5 of august when it occures that he hasn’t been telling the truth....

@jackeill:read carefully at this page the following posts

by psascha

the ppl use the same style of writing almost the same relaxed language and the same text form...and the responses were written with a time difference of few moments

one things for sure theres only one vaxjoe and one jackeill ;)

Here read it yourself, this is exactly what he wrote to me!

Brian,

What’s wrong with you man? What exactly were you thinking when you wrote this? Why would you want to waste our time with such bullshit?

My guess is that you’re really a very lonely person... and you’ve done this as some kind of attempt to get attention.

I’ve had my share of personal problems... so If you want to talk... if you want to be honest about your issues... I’m willing to try to help you. But please, no more bullshit.

Best regards / Bästa hälsningar / Saudações

Lars-Erik
NYC

If you look at the first line, why did he get so angry? Maybe because I stole his news?
Now the Second line... he is getting offensive... nice way to work!!!
Last paragraph... Why does he still want to talk to me? If he is so angry about me telling “Lies”, why still bother talking to me? Sure, he would have wanted to me to say: “Sorry Guys I was telling a lie!” So he could come up with the news “the next day or two” (!!!!) and hardly anyone would know about the discussion topic here, because of all the hundrets, maybe aven thousands of Fans that are registered on this site all of you that replied to me are really just a fiew... so no one would remember what I said here and he would have the News “First” as always... I am sure this here will get deleted soon, especially now that I a writing all of this stuff here, think about it, how many times could he have done that before???
Yes, I am pissed off, because the Webmaster or Editor here does not work in fair ways...

Vaxjoe, as much as I love you that would not sand up in a court of law. There are definite reasonable doubt here... and for once I’ll agree with you Jackell, give the guy (brian) a break... and a chance to prove himself right...

The editor/webmaster or LEO would not dare 2 take this forum down... If you’re not interested in reading this post... DON’T!

So tell us Brian, how come you’ve heard the news on a German radio station? You’re from Ireland!

Do please explain.

@vaxjoe: i know, that’s why it came to my attention... and that’s right, only one vaxjoe, only one jackeill :)

Guys... it is Summer everywhere in the World... but in Ireland! Ireland is as rainy as ever before, my Cousin in Hamburg invited me to come over, to have a nicer Summer... gosh, Guys... why does it seem to be so Unreal?
I have to say one thing, if I don’t get thrown out by the Editor, coz I think he is going to do that as soon as he sees that I copied and pasted his email into the discussion here... I am going to withdraw my registration myself, because of all the stupid emails I receive from a lot of you guys... this morning I just received the 100th abusive email about this stuff here, PLEASE STOP THAT. You can’t believe how annoying that is!

Brian if you withdraw your registration yourself it will be the worst thing you can do. stay with honor and let things be like it’s going to be...

Is there nobody from germany who listen to the bloody radio station who can either confirm or deny this news/rumour?

Maybe I want to leave to keep my honor and not feel frusttrated here... I am sure I can find some other Site were it is just as much fun to be registered...

It seems that Lars-Erik has cut some things in this topic...

Yes he did!

Isn’t that interessting?????

I have got a really good Idea. It will only work, if all of you Guys work with me together....We should start of a chain letter for all Roxette Fans about the New Single, hopefully it will reach many, many fans before the 5th of August.

“I guess we all want Roxette to be huge again and have the Rest of the World notice their Talent to not only write really good songs, but also to Sing and perform them good songs. If EMI can’t do their Job properly, we have got to do something to help our Fav Band out! The week the New Song is going to be out in the Shops, we all have to buy it, and don’t wait a week or two. If you all would buy it, it will get a really high entry in the Charts after just one week. Radio Stations would see that and start playing that song A LOT during the second week of sales of the Single. Once it gets good Airplay, it will sell easy anyway.
So please, all of you, all the Fans out there, please maybe copy this text here, and send it to as many Roxtte Fan email addresses you can find. Maybee even search through the web to add more fans on to your mailing list! Just imagine, what difference we, THE FANS could make, it is up to us to make them big again! Don’t we all want to see them having a Number one Hit on more than 20 Countries again? Sure, than Roxette would receive the Promotion of EMI or Edel in the USA they deserve and be as huge as Roxette really deserves it to be!
It can work, only if we all work together. You can even buy the Song as a Gift for your friends, Sisters or brothers. Parents, or your Grandparents and tell them, you bought it for them, coz you want to show them what people today listen to! :o) You all might think this is crazy, but it really can work!!! Only if we all work together and go out and buy their Single the 1st week it has been released, storm the shops!!!! But first, mail this to all Fans you know, can think of and Fans you can find on the Web!!!”

... and don’t have the balls to back his actions up...

What’s the chances that South Africa will be getting a Roxette single? Not even considering the possible release date on the 5th of August

Guys, it looks like the Editor deleted my Posting I sent in here first yesterday. I just tried to change it back... it does not work though...
Nice way to work! Soon this whole topic will be taken down...

amen

EDEL isn’t roxette’s record company anymore...

I thought EDEL is Roxette’s Record Company in the States?? Did they go back to EMI?

so i’m saving whole forum on my hdd :).

Brian I don’t know why but i’m starting to believe in it.... hehe please ppl don’t flame on me :)

didn’t I tell you everything was possible in this deja vu!

sb is editing this topic right now.... number of post is changing... however there is nothing new... weird

Did you notice it... the whole time here... something is changing... the comments posted to the site and Numbers.... what is going on? Will this Topic be deleted soon?

Brian i see it’s so strange i don’t know why......

i know one thing - if you lied nobody wouldn’t take much care about these all weird things and denying the truth....

i believe you now.......

the truth is out there !

brian - how old r u? and where in Ireland do you come from?

Hope you don’t mind me asking!

There’s no “Sinking” in BMI’s repertoire.

But, also Roxette has just 23 songs in its BMI‘s repertoire.

Well, in 2001...even Lars-Erik didn’t know about that news that only a spanish fan club got...and nobody believed them...so...

....so that’s why i believe in it....................

it’s almost unreal!

onlywhenidrem! I am from County Dublin, Swords. How come Ur interessted in that?

oh... I am 23

nothing - sorry just curious! I used to have a boyfriend who was from Ireland - just wondered where u were from. He he. Hope it’s nice there! I love Ireland, and the Irish people - they are just ALL so nice.

but thanks for telling me,

Yes Ireland is really nice and sooo beautifull... Irish people can be nasty as well though.

Can you say nasty for not so nice? Hope you understand my English.

I am sure they can be - but all the ones I have met so far have been nice!

I see a hidden agenda here Mathew!

Well,i also start to believe this.

I´m also believing you or at least I´m hoping that you are right. But I´m wondering why the radio station doesn´t answer to my email. Maybe they broadcasted these news to early or sth like that. Strange.

Belief can move mountains!

At least....i hope that its true

P.S.: Lars-Erik should damnit stop editing and faking the stuff we write!!! This is stupid!

I accept that when somebody harasses someone,
but not in such a thread....an Journalists work is to
find out the truth and spread news and make people think for themselves....not feed them with self-brewn facts.

Oh boy... what a amazing topic... well, I have no REAL reason to believe in Brian, but I believe in his history !!! I mean, at least I hope he is right, cause it would be wonderfull to have a new single so soon !!!

And last year a girl told us many things about “Room Service” album (such as tracklist, lyrics) and people almost killed her, so... this time I’m going slowly !!!

Anyway... no reason to fight... let’s wait until 5th August and the whole mistery will be solved !!

All the Best
LoneGunman

I dunno what to believe, but I really hope it’s true!

Guess it’s the first X-file on TDR! ;) (just joking)

Well, according to Capitol Records Germany, a new single won’t be out until december (I’m kinda having difficulties believing they’d be that slow, but anyway...) - don’t you think they would have said august/september (assuming 5/8 is the radio release date and the commercial single’s available at a later date) instead if there were plans for a single in august? And IIRC, Per said the new song(s) won’t be recorded until september in that interview he did for “Efter 3”... how can they release a song that’s not even recorded?!

Again:

THERE *WON’T* BE A NEW ROXETTE SINGLE OUT ON AUGUST 5TH 2002 !!!

- EMI Sweden doesn’t mention the release on their website
- Roxette.se doesn’t mention the release
- The Fanclub’s website doesn’t mention the release
- That German radio-station doesn’t mention the release on their website
- The “Psascha”-account was created just to serve this topic
- Psascha described the song more as a ballad while Brian describes it as more uptempo
- “Sinking” is not mentioned on the BMI website.
- Lars-Erik telling that EMI says it’s not true
- August 5th is too soon in the future
...
...
...

The only thing that could happen is that a new single (and OK, it might by “Sinking”) would be deliverd to radio stations for AIRPLAY, and the real release a few weeks later.

But still, I’m very very doubtful.

I don’t know what to believe, we’ll see later. I Just summarize:

1. Roxette 12/2001: 2002 will be a great year for Roxette.
2. EMI Germany: Compilation in November.
3. Per: We don’t want a major release this year because of turmoils at EMI.
4. Per on swedish radio: New single in September. New single for each compilation.
5. Brian/radio RSH: New single in August.
6. EMI Germany: Compilation and single in December.

Even if it’s a fake i think this is one of the most enjoyable post on TDR since a long time...ghost singles, dark conspiracies, maybe the Matrix is editing the forum;) just joking.
btw where’s the problem? If this guy’s telling the truth it’s a great thing for everyone, for LEO too, if not we just have to wait a while for the news LEO promised. And after all this i do expect NEWS!!!, not simple news

Ciao

Well, well folks, it seems that this situation deserves a little investigation...

I beg to Lars and to the Webmaster of this page to don’t cut this topic off...if Brian is wrong, I suggest to give him only 19 more as a TDR user...it’s when we gonna know the truth...of course we don’t need to eagerly expect it...but...it’s strange...it seems that Small Talker also disappeared...???

We have to consider the potential truth elements in this story and the potential lie elements on it...

POTENTIAL LIE ELEMENTS

DREAMY ROXETTE FANISM TRACES

Expressions used like “better than Joyride” “better than The Look” “the best song ever written by Per”.

“Top of the World again”, “the world will hold its breath” “it’s part of Rox history”, etc.

Typical from a fan that wants, like everyone, Roxette reaching those levels again.

I myself did it once, when I joked that I listened to RS songs thanks to a friend, a hacker, that got them lot before than everyone. Everybody believed...someone hated, others liked the joke.

TEENIE TRACES

“sounds more like Bon Jovi’s ‘It’s my life’.”

Bon Jovi is still a reference to the actual youth, ‘cause he still can sell the same commercial and cheap songs of always...well, some are good...but that’s also a sign of what every European teen rock lover does: always use Bon Jovi (an American rock super-seller) as a measure weight to determine what an European pop/rock/power pop band should be...if this seemingly hoax happened in 1999 here at TDR, Offspring would be mentioned in Bon Jovi’s place.

EMOTIONAL CALLING APPEALING TRACES

“my wife Asa cried.”

Cried with an uptempo song??? Is it Roxette or is it Skid Row? Well, maybe ‘cause she thought: ‘Oh Per will earn even more money, then he can buy me the whole Gucci collection!!’ or maybe: ‘Oh Per will earn even more money, so I can buy Gabriel a Barbie’s mansion!! Then he will grow up and write as his father: ‘My bedroom was smaller than a Barbie’s hoooouse...’’

I remember that I used some of those traces in my joke. I said that RS’s songs, specially one, where Marie performed a duet with ABBA’s Frida would make “every Rox Fan lay on its bed and remember the 80-90’s” (remember that?). Well, my intention was to play with the expectation on an album better than HAND.

But...what about the...

POTENTIAL TRUTH ELEMENTS

*In 2000, more precisely (that rights my last post) a girl, nicknamed as Argenia (is that right?) said that she had listened to Roxette’s new songs (for RS). Nobody believed her, she was treated like a liar, as Brian. But she was totally right. (**Of course...nobody could forget that “famous” “interview” that Per and Marie had with a reporter in a cafe, where he listened to Rox new songs in a portable CD player (“Do you wanna go with me”...”New World”...all of them with fantastic new sounds, new concepts...blablabloblo). In Argenia’s story, Lars-Erik didn’t know a thing about it, too...so...he’s owning information to us for such a long time about Rox new material (or materials...or synchronism, maybe that’s the right word – please, Lars, no offense). Argenia said that listened to Rox new material with a fanclub.

**Maybe we misunderstood Per when he told the reporter about the compilations release dates. I remember than when I used to buy videogame magazines (in my teenie years, OK??) the damn reporters always confused the readers. When he was telling something about a new cartridge’s release, he said something like: ‘The cartridge must be released in XX/199X’. Now, we didn’t know if the cartridge was surely going to be released that date, or if it could be released that date. So, maybe Per meant next “spring-summer” with THIS summer...it’s like when you’re in a Sunday and you say: ‘I’m going to travel next Monday’ ‘Oh, in a week?’ ‘No...! Tomorrow!’.??? *o

***Queen of rain was released in radio stations of Brazil in 1990. Tourism, 2 years after.

****The new was airplayed by a German radio station. They always get Rox information first there (Why?? Don’t ask me) – including the compilations info.

*****Europe is reeealy big. Roxette can authorize news being winded in every country where it is welcome. And in Germany, yes, Roxette is, really welcome. They made lots of shows there.

******Per said that felt in its gut something big coming...by his mind! By his mind...

*******Remember when I posted that topic “BMI.COM: The answer to all rumours?”. I remember that somebody found a certain ‘Sinking” there. Somebody said something about “Sinking”.

********Maybe, too, Per’s concept over ballads (or Brian’s acknowledge over the same) is different from us...do you remember Skid Row’s “Yesterday” (or was it Europe’s)? Well, that song “Remember Yesterday...lalalalalalala...IIII remember youuu...” with very nice guitar riffs...would you call that a ballad? Or an uptempo?? And TCOTH? A ballad? An uptempo?

Now, this Brian (or Gary, vodafone, Small Talker) maybe thought about all this (if it’s really Gary, that’s easy to conceive...he’s young, full of testosterone, and has free-time in Summer) and elaborated a big history, only to for the first time, create a topic where he gets attention without being flamed or humiliated.

???

I suggest to wait. The fact of “Sinking’s” absence in bmi.com doesn’t represent a lot, if you wonder. Have you ever heard about a Per’s song called ‘Teaser Japanese’? I didn’t. And if Per doesn’t want to give us a clue? And if this “Sinking” is really such big hit? (**ghost voice**“I FEEL IT IN GUUT...BWAHAHAHA!!”) If nothing happens until, at least August 10th...we, as TDR’s user will require, will demand, Brian’s expulsion from here. That’s it. It’s gonna be called...huh...“The Brian’s Impeachment”. And “PSascha’s Impeachment”, too.

And “Gary’s Impeachment” as well...just to don’t lose the habit...why? ‘Coz his existence encourages possible stupid hoaxes like this potential possible one...hehehehehehehe...

But please...just wait...don’t expect, don’t sweat, don’t cry or countdown...

**The “wisdomed” tinytim, spoke.

P.S.: But anyway...I’m on your footsteps, Bri...I’m on you, red...hahn-hahn...

Lonegunman is the same as brian and psascha....... His first reply in smalltalk is in this forum!!!!
And yes, I’ve heard Tease japanese... it was release as a single... And not only in Sweden, but also in the USA.... although it flopped......

Originally posted by Brian: “everybody know, USA is the biggest Market in Music.... can you imagine how much a song sells there a week being Number one? The Look only spent one week at Number one there... Barby Girl spent more than two Months being Number one alone... that is embarassing for them US Guys I think!”

Actually, the US doesn’t get many singles anymore. An act does not have to sell any singles to get to #1 anymore in the US. Songs get to #1 now on just radio airplay. And personally, I think it really shows the downfall of the music industry in the US with radio stations controlling the “most popular” songs in the USA. It’s fake.

Back when “The Look” was #1, it had sales to show for its popularity. So comparisons are irrelevant to today’s standards.

And, “Barbie Girl” never hit #1 in the USA. It reached #7 on the Hot 100 because the single was deleted.

The TWO day’s are now almost over......

Hey guys!
What’s your opinion about sending emails to Per and Marie? Hundreds of mails! Maybe they answer one of us.

give us their e-mail address
and we won’t wait any longer, hihi.

I think some of fans know the addresses;for example: pietRoxette or Lars himself!

Mmmm... do you really think that? I think Per or Marie will never give their e-mail address to fans.

Yes! But maybe someone has their addresses.I think we (fans) have right to know their addresses.Don’t you think?Who is better than us to know such a thing?

However! I want to announce:

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAS!
SOMEBODY! SOMEBODY! SOMEBODY GIVE US THEIR ADDRESSES!WE WANT TO KNOW AN IMPORTANT THING.

I don’t agree. I don’t think we have the right to know their e-mail addresses. Imagine what could happen then. Spamming is a big problem in e-mail world, you know.

What do they want to do with their email addresses apart from talking to fans?
They are such rich persons that can use telephone for talking with their friends all over the world and don’t be worried about the bill !!!!!!
So they can use email for talking to us.
Roxette fans are not spammers.Also they can change their address every month and give it to webmasters of Roxy sites.

[email protected] and [email protected] are the commercial e-mail adresses. They have also mailadresses at the fanclub. I thought it was something like [email protected] and [email protected]
Giving their private (mail)adresses to fans???? Bullshit, they also have a private life!
JAAP

@JAAP:It’s obvious that you have not read my last post.If you read,you won’t use “Bullshit” word in your answer.

ppl come on stop it! cant u see? the person achieved his goal by now. he got so many replies in so little time...never seen so many naive ppl altogether

Yes, but we’re not talking about “Sinking” anymore, hihi.

Hey i was just joking
@ pikappa ... no problem... simple explanation... pls write to me at [email protected]

@ tinytim: Teaser Japanese was released in Gyllene Tider´s “Heartland cafe” album (sweden) AND in GT´s attempt-to-reach-internationally English single/EP. THey changed their band name to “Modern Times”

More info at www.gyllenetider.com (where you can also listen to the song...)

Again a message edited by lars-erik-olsson, a message from someone else.......
And I am also already more then 2 days waiting for my promised real news!!!!!!!!!
JAAP

It will take a long long time...

Yes, the 2 day’s are over!!!! LEO tell us!!!!!
Rox-on D-san

I just wanna say that I believe Brian. I don´t think Brian would lie about this because if he is lying he knows we would kill him and he don´t want that so he´s telling the truth. (I hope).

It would be a busy job: killing everyone who lies.

I think LEO made that thing about the news up,he just wants no discussion about this(i don’t know why,but where’s the news he promised???????????)

Lars-Erik just wants TDR to have more hits. That’s why he said he has news.

Lars-erik: If you promise something, you have to do it, also if it is just volunteer-work what you are doin’!!!!!!

LET’s ALL MAIL LEO TO ASK FOR THE NEWS!
HIS MAIL ADRESS IS [email protected]
BUT KEEP IT FRIENDLY HGUYS AND GIRLS!

Ok i did send a E-Mail!

why are you getting crazy guys??

Lars-Erik has cleared up some things in an e-mail to me.

>> When he called EMI to check if Brian’s story was true they said that the story was complete bullshit but that they had something ’real’ for him in a day or so. Now Lars-Erik will try again Monday morning to see what that news is.

Hi, seems like I have got loads of enemies... wow!!!
I actually wrote an email to the Radio Station last week and got an answer yesterday. First I copy and Paste the email I wrote to the station, and than I am going to copy and paste their reply. (My Cousin did some translation work for me)

1. (My Cousins German Translation to the Station)
Liebes Radio Schleswig Holstein Team,

am 18.07.2002 habe ich auf eurem Sender die News gehört, dass Roxette eine neue Single veröffentlichen werden, worauf hin ihr den Song gespielt habt. Viele Roxette Fans hatten sich mit EMI in Verbindung gesetzt um eine bestätigung zu erhalten, welche leider nicht eintraff, das Gegenteil geschah, eine neue Single wurde abgestritten.
Ich bitte sie, mir die News zu bestätigen und mir auch mitzuteilen, von welcher Quelle diese News stammt.
Ich bitte um ihre Hilfe und eine baldige Antwort, da wir Roxette Fans gespannt sind auf eine Neuigkeit die festen Griff hat.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Brian Bloke

(Dear Radio Schleswig Holstein, (my original mail, before translated to german)

at the 18th of July 2002 I listened to your Rock and Pop news. I was delighted to hear the news of the forthcoming Single of Roxette. You played the Single after the news was published. As I shared the news with other Roxette Fans, nobody really believed this news, so a lot of Fans got in touch with EMI and other sources. No one could get a confirmation about the News published on your Radio Station. I would like to ask you, could you please send a confirmation of this news to me and also provide the source of the news?
I would appreciate it very much, if I ould receive an answer soon, as we the Fans of this wonderful Band eagerly waiting for a positive feedback about this news.

thanks and regards,
Brian Bloke

- I received the following answer -

Sehr geehrter Herr Bloke, (original email of RSH)

seit dem wir die News einer neuen Roxette single veröffentlicht haben, sind sehr viele Anfragen eingetroffen. Wir müssen eingestehen, dass uns hier ein Fehler unterlaufen ist. Als wir die neuen Neuigkeiten von unseren Korespondenten erhielten, hatte unser Korespondent uns diesen Neuen Roxette Titel geliefert, doch nichts dazu gesagt, als wir ihn fragten ob es eine neue Single sei, teilte er uns die Dinge mit, welche wir in den News bekannt gaben. Kuz nachdem erscheinen dieser News, teilte unser Korespondent uns mit, das er sich mit uns einen Scherz erlaubt hatte und nicht dachte, dass wir es ernst nehmen würden, und die ganze Story wirklich liefern würden. Er sagte, er erhielt die Kopie des Liedes von einer Quelle die wir nicht bekannt geben können.
Am 19. July haben wir uns Live für diesen Groben Patzer entschuldigt gehabt.
Wir versprechen in der Zukunft Professioneller zu Arbeiten.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Dein RSH Team

(Dear Mr. Bloke, (My Cousins translation into english)

since publish of the News, about the new Roxette Song, we receive a lot questions about that. We must apologize, a misstake happened now. Our Korespondent received the Song from a source, we can not say. We asked him, what is about this new Song. The thing he saying, is the thing we put on Radio. When he heard the news, he phoning us und saying, that he was making a joke to us, did not know we believe him... the copie of the song he receive from a source we can not say. on the 19 July 2002 we saying on radio, we made misstake about this and take back and entschuldigten about not working professional enough...
we promise to work more professinal to work in zukunft.

Your RSH Team)

I understand that a lot of Fans are upset about what I had written here. I am sorry about it all. I only shared what I heard! I do not apologize for it though, as I only shared the things I heard and for that, I did not tell lies. The blame is to be put on that stupid German Radio Station.
BTW they stopped playing “Sinking” at the moment, who knows why...
at least we know, that they got a new song of Roxette... and we know that we will have a new single in the near future sometime....

for all the Guys that want to kill me.... do so please, I want to know how you Guys are going to make this happen! ;-)

You HEARD that song.Are you sure about Marie’s voice? Was is really her voice?

on roxettenews.com:

“A NEW ROXETTE SINGLE WILL BE SERVICED TO RADIO September 9th, 2002, more info will follow soon on this page!”

Message from Roxette management.

I do not think I would mix Maries voice up with someone elses....
Do you think they maybe did not even play a Rox song at all???
I doubt that very much, because the Voice really sounded like Maries and the song sounded a bit like all the Rox Stuff does..

Do you think it is really their best song?

To be honest with you, any Rox song I hear first, I think it is their best song... but now I think Sinking is still good, but only in my personal Top 5. Have you heard it yet?

It has been on the radio for only once as you said.
You hadn’t recorded it, as you said! If so, please make it downloadable.

@Brian:How can I listen to it?

Well I thought, other Radio Stations would have that song as well... that how I thought you might have listened to it...

so, Brian was right......now please take your post-edits back, L-E O!!!

Thank you Brian! Now we know you didn’t lie. There’s still the question if the song you heard was the actual single or something else like a b-side.

Please describe the song once more! All the details you can remember...

well the only news right now is that the single is out to radios in september...(not in august, not even on 5th) and nothing about the title... we´ll have to keep waiting :)

Others mailed that radio station as well ... did anyone else receive a reply similar to the one Brian is offering us?

This answer is written in VERY bad German (with a typical English influence), so I guess it´s a fake - unless, of course, someone reliable can come up with a similar message from that radio station...

By the way, check out www.roxettenews.com - that´s where you get REAL news...

Hello, I wrote a email to Radio Schleswig Holstein too, they wrote the same to me, like what they wrote to Brian. Why you think it is bad German in the email? I can’t see not one misstake. Are you german too? I am.

Collin had 3 replies in total on Smalltalk....
And they are all in this discussion....
So Collin, are you also brian, psascha etc. etc. etc.?????????????????
JAAP

What you mean?

If you’re Brian you know what I mean....
And if you are brian, you now started another thread about the pic on roxettenews, so it looks like you’re a ’real’ member....
If you’re not Brian: I am very very very very very sorry!!!!! But the brian who started dthis discussion, is also some other members of TDR.....
JAAP

no, me not Brian.

Fun!

Well, I am German and there are countless mistakes in the reply. I also wrote an email to the station and got no answer yet... Don´t know what to believe anymore!

Vieleicht war es ja ein Ausländischer Mitarbeiter oder die Fehler hatten sich alle beim Tippen eingeschlichen...

This Collin is just Brian’s sheet cleaner.

You said about mistakes in German...

Well, the english translation is something taken from Bedrock...and Brian’s “cousin” writes “misstakes” instead of “mistakes”...hmmm...maybe they failed in the same school grade year??

Wanna an advice?

The whole story was invented by more than one person. They just decided to taste how Internet can fool every stupid who believes in what’s on it. Brian (if that’s really his name) used information than flowed here and invented it all. Then, when he noticed that the things started to get warm, he had time to invent a even more idiot story. The radio can’t give the source, the radio dunno the source, the reporter was joking...so what happened to him? If so many people emailed the Radio asking for ’Sinking’ why didn’t the radio directors simply put a message in radio site, apologizing?? Did somebody check it??

Well, let’s just do the following: wait for September 9th...I guess that what’s coming for it is quite better than any dreamy ’Sinking’ placed in Brian’s Top 5 now - HAH! OK - or whatever.

“It’s in my Top 5, like every Rox song I first hear, I think is the best...”

Are you sure you’re a Rox fan, Brian??

Or maybe you simply “like” Roxette, and decided to joke on the “Rox-nerds” (maybe in your opinion) who waste sooo much time writing lots of stupidities about two persons that are quite confortable in their beds and handsome cars??

Is that what you think???

You acted, you acted...that’s what you did when you decided to underrate Sinking when compared to your first impressions...the most innocent mistake of a professional liar is to return to the crime scene...when you try to repeat and re-edit something unreal that you said, you screw it all. Either you make the lie bigger and bigger either you leave it behind.

I had many people in my life who invented stories to trick me, to joke on me, or to scape from a serious talk with me.

You can’t trick, irish...(???)

BTW, isn’t Collin also a very tipical irish name??
Like if it was picked from a by chance moment, from a moment of imagination lack...”hmmm...I have to create a new register, a new TDR user...but a name...hmmm...bah, Collin is OK...”

Hah, han.

Just ignore this topic.

Let’s wait for LEO news (OK, LEO? OK????)

Brian wants to have fun on us while he drinks black beer with his teenie friends (that have fake IDs) in some Dublin’s pub.

4 words: A Thing About You.

We are Roxette fans! we have the right to know Per’s bank account number.. and Marie’s credit card number!

...... i can’t belive some things i read on this thread

Guys I know, you’ll probably hate me for bringing this topic up again... think about this one though...
everybody thought Brian’s a lier... I think, the “real” news about the single “A thing about you” proves, that Brian was not telling lies... he only shared with us, things he heard himself on the radio...
please have a look at his story he first shared with us and then please have a look at the “Real” news in the front page about the real new single... I don’t think it is just coincidence, that there are sooo many similarities in both Brian and the TDR news.... do you know what I mean? I really believe that Brian’s Story was not made up... I mean he shared what he heard... nothing wrong with that... it is clear, that the news came out to some radio stations a few days too early and also, this news was “A bit” messed up... but has got a lot of similarities with the real stuff.... I think everybody who did not yet apologize to Brian should do that, as a lot of you guys got really mean towards him...

LEO YOU ARE PATHETIC. EDIT ME EDIT ME EDIT ME.

appologize for?
august - september
sinking - a thing about you

and that email from the radio? did anybody else get an email from there? a german friend of mine phoned there and they just said that they had never announced such news...
do you think a radio station would ever write that?

Oh but forgot Collin and Brian (and who knows who else) is same person..

Apologies to everybody, of course I was making a joke!!! I made this one up to bring some excitement in here! It workes obviously... ;-)

Editors Note: This Message had to be changed.

Try to make better jokes!

thx Brian for the explanation, but I think all of us already realised about it quite rather in the begining, ....
