The premiere for ATAY in Austria will be on the 13th September. The song will be played in their programe Ö3-Wecker (6 to 9 am).
In addition, one of the DJs had a phone interview with Per yesterday evening, which will be on air during the 13th, they still don´t know when, but more information to come soon!
Thx a loooot to Nadja for pointing that out :P and to Netafari for finding out more :)

their full phone-interviews are usually aired in their programe TREFFPUNKT Ö3 (19:oo-22:oo) but parts of interviews on a preview-day are often aired before that new song is played... so we might have to listen to hitradio ö3 the whole day...
thank you for the information!

some minutes ago roxette said on ö3:
HEY HEY THIS IS MARIE AND I AM PER AND WE ARE ROXETTE AND YOU ARE LISTENING TO HITRADIO Ö3 - THEY PLAY THE HITS!
then came SLEEPING IN MY CAR :) ... but only 30 sec... then a “ghost-driver” (don’t know the english word...) broke up this song with traffic news...

@Joyrider

let´s see if i can tape it, I hope so, I am home at that time :)
Jud (moderator) said on September 12, 2002 15:43:
yay, It must have been love on Radio.. :) I think I love this Ö3 :D
**shivers** **tears** this is a song...
Jud (moderator) said on September 13, 2002 04:52:
so they already played the song :)
According to the translations of my girlfriend (My german is still bad..) they gave the song a niiiiice review, that it was a typical Roxette song but at same time different cuz it is Per singing (i guess they meant for a balad it is “weird”), they said it is the best Rox single they have heard for a long time... and dunno what else put it is 6.53 in the moring so.. hope somebody else can complete this :P
Nefatari said on September 13, 2002 06:59:
They also mentioned: “And yes, Per can sing, he sings wonderfully!” “A fantastic ballad with intelligent guitars, gr8 stringsarrangement and the best ... fabulous Beatles-harmonies.” “One of the best songs ever made by Roxette!” “But actually nothing else was expected, this fabulous duo is pop-elite!” “Thumbs up!” “Well-tried high quality!” And so on and so on and so on ... they couldn’t stop praise that song!
I couldn’t stop grinning!
I’ve felt, that ATAY is going to be a hit in Austria! And since Hitradio Ö3 is listened by about 3.500.000 ppl ...
Thx to Ö3 for this review!
Now we look forward listening to the PG-Interview!
Nefatari said on September 13, 2002 09:22:
PG Interview: 1:40 pm at Ö3 ... there will be nothing in the evening, because today there is no “Treffpunkt Ö3” because on Fridays are the weekly charts!
Jud (moderator) said on September 13, 2002 11:41:
mmm was that Gabriel on the phone saying MAMA???
I taped interview, hope ican make it available for all soon! (it is quite short though)
Nefatari said on September 13, 2002 11:45:
Yes it was Gabriel!
I taped it, too.
So we continue trying our best, J ;)
Jud (moderator) said on September 13, 2002 11:55:
I have no clue.. german speaking on it.. i just get few sentences.. Netafari?
Nefatari said on September 13, 2002 12:10:
Per was talking about:
- his age, and that it is hard to write popular music for young ppl being such an old man as he is :)
But Rox just make music because of the joy it brings, not for money.
(they have enough)
- living in wonderful Sweden, that he enjoys to be there, he meets some friends, his mother lives nearby him, he has a nice car, and he often spends time on the beach
They are going to stay in Sweden, not just because, but also becauso of Gabriel, he soon goes to school in Sthlm
Then Gabriel was asking something, Per answered he’s having an interview, so Gabriel said (i guess I’m not rather sure, it was hard to understand) something like: I’m gonna ask my Mama .. then Gabriel shouted “Mammaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Per commented that: “sorry, normal life” and laughed.
- he talked more about Gabriel: Per doesn’t care if Gabriel wants to be in the music business in the future, Gabriel can be a punk-boy, if he wants to be ;)
I guess, that’s it, as far as I can remember! ;)
Jud (moderator) said on September 13, 2002 12:15:
Ok i have made it :P Now it is on MP3.. hope quality is good enough.. let´s see where to hang it now :)
J
Jud (moderator) said on September 13, 2002 12:19:
Jupp. already contacted Pietro :) He will have the mp3 in... 5 minutes i would say :)
Jud (moderator) said on September 18, 2002 12:36:
They talked bout Marie on the radio Ö3, waiting for Netafari to say what it was about.. but they said sth about the Get Well - messages site!
KixBE said on September 18, 2002 14:33:
where can I download the mp3 from the Ö3 interview with Per??
couldn’t find it on roxbytes...
Nefatari said on September 18, 2002 15:04:
I’m gonna tell you in about 1 1/2 hours, what they said at Ö3 ...
Cu l8er!
Jud (moderator) said on September 18, 2002 15:14:
i don´t know.. I sent it to Pietro for him to upload it there..
alchemiste said on September 18, 2002 18:12:
Hi,
the Marie thing this afternoon was a quite big report, they mentioned her illness and all the facts around it that we already know from TDR, they also had a short interview with Per and he said that fans should respect Maries private life now and if they want to contact her, do so via the website www.roxette.se
Also, they said that more than 600.000 tickets have been sold for the forthcoming tour (NOTP), but that of course it´s much more important that Marie gets well soon, and that they´ll decide in time if the can tour or not and that the decision will be left to Marie only.
The report was followed by “Listen To Your Heart”.
(Added a bit later)
Oh yes, and they also read two or three of the “get well soon”-messages from the internet, one from Lima/Peru and the other from somewhere in Italy, as far as I can remember...
alchemiste said on September 18, 2002 18:47:
In addition to the previous message:
The whole story is online now, it´s in German obviously, and the link is
http://oe3.orf.at/oe3.orf?read=detail&channel=1&id=121930
(you have to copy the link into the browser window I´m afraid)
One thing is interesting though, Per talks about the future and he says, “It´s all up to Marie now. Without her, there´s no Roxette.”
And they mention that she has *demanded* (yes) that all NOTP concerts should take place *with* them...
pietROxette said on September 18, 2002 19:11:
Sorry, I haven’t yet uploaded it. Could you, Judith or someone speaking German translate it? Because it’s very hard to understand Per because they dubbed it and you don’t really hear his voice...
Jud (moderator) said on September 18, 2002 19:59:
i think that interview was “fake”. They got two pieces of interview from the past and translation of the latest Swedish articles where Per talks about his meeting with Marie and they have put it all together... Cuz I couldonly hear Per say “we have a website, roxette.se where you can contact us easily” and then they just read some translation from the articles (ehem ;)) ...
They pointed to Roxette.se because Dimman (!) has added the link to the GetWell Guestbook in there!
Jud (moderator) said on September 18, 2002 20:00:
I will try to put the interview from last week online.. I wanted to upload it to my rox.org site but it is not working :/
So if anybody out there NEEEEDS it urgently mail me.. it is 1MB big.. :)
Jud (moderator) said on September 22, 2002 13:26:
just heard the “listeners chart” from Ö3 and they played Roxette at number 11. Does anybody know what number or eaddy to phone/write to “vote” for the song or ask for it?
alchemiste said on September 22, 2002 13:43:
As soon as the radio show is over (16:00) I can tell you, ´cos the website with the listener´s charts is offline until then... I´ll post it here in about 20 Minutes, hopefully!
alchemiste said on September 22, 2002 14:27:
Hi,
the Ö3 listeners charts are online at
http://charts.orf.at/oe3/hoerercharts/2002/woche38/main
Roxette are *not* in the top-40. You may have misinterpreted that; right before the top-10 start, they usually play some tracks that are very near to entering the top-40.
You can *not* directly vote for the listeners charts, but the charts are compiled from all listeners wishes. So you can just call in and tell them you want to hear “A Thing About You”, and *that* will count for the charts.
The number to dial is the Austrian number 0900 600 600, but take care, calling this number is quite expensive. Cheers!
Jud (moderator) said on September 22, 2002 14:42:
mm then it is my fault. I turned on the radio and the song was playing, and then they said “number 10” so i interpreted that Roxette would be in 11!
sowwy :)
Sigh i thought you could also email there...

Jud (moderator) said on October 14, 2002 06:33:
They have updated the site www.roxette.at with the wall papers and that the single is out today;)
Going to hit the stores in a while, lets see if I am lucky! :)
Nefatari said on October 14, 2002 10:24:
@J
You can call 0900 600 600 and tell ’em you want to hear ATAY .. every single call is counted, so it would help Rox climbing up the Hörercharts!
Nefatari said on October 29, 2002 08:40:
Hörercharts: this week #17
Singlecharts: new ... #39
New interview with PG ... you can listen to it: http://oe3.orf.at/oe3.orf?read=detail&channel=1&id=126772&tmp=40860
