i wish i hadn’t downloaded them...besides, now i’ve already made my mind about them not being that good. :-( but i will order the package possibly already today...and give the songs a new shot next week :-)

Denstandigaresan said on March 20, 2003 13:48:

Surely it’s up to the person??
I downloaded them, first time I have been able to download new Roxette songs.

I live in the UK, so will be waiting a LONG time for the PH album.
I’ll still get excited, heart racing etc when I buy the new album!

PS. : You’re all living in the 90’s!!!! C’mon, it’s the 21st Century already!!!!!!! :D

LittleGirl78 said on March 20, 2003 16:48:

I´m crazy for Roxette, too, but I´m still waiting. ;-)
And so I´m the best friend from Per Gessle :D, why he don´t like downloading, have he said in a interview. ;-)

marcusvandeursen said on March 20, 2003 17:30:

am quite pleased being able to download... burn them without damaging the original cd when I finally may get it from the fanclub#s fanshop... am also still waiting for the ON-singles so it might take a long long time Öo)

mimi—I really don’t understand You if you ask such thing roxette fans:-)!!

Can You wait for these songs?
Can you resist??
Are you a fan??(edit–i mean that fans must understand feeling of others fans-don’t say that you aren’t a fan)

You really don’t lose!

I mean:
1. You download POP HITS
2. You open WMP and you are so exited
3. You put the mp3 into your player and your heart is beating so hard
4. You choose: Little Miss Sorrow or other
5. You are listening now songs and say: COOL!!! OH MY GOD IT’S GREAT. PER YOU MADE GOOD JOB! etc...

I don’t want to lose that impression...
so I will download these songs as fast as possible!!

what will change the fact of hearing these mp3...
nothing!!
nothing!!
nothing!!
1.i will listening these songs till the rest of my life.....lots of times ..as i do with others Rox songs..
2.i will continue to give all of my free money(i mean ALL) for Roxette CD

i downloaded the songs from ON maxi single long time ago....now i “finally” received the single from EMI..and open it as many times i want:-))....
why i must wait so long to hear these songs..??

..i understand even the ppl who can buy the POP hits in monday... how can you stop ppl who everyday(everyday!!) came in this forum just to understand
something new about Roxette,to talk with ppl who loves Roxette ,..from hearing the new song...??
how can you??

i don’t think that internet is the reason for EMI’s problems... i can sure you that even in the years of iron curtain..even communist regime coudn’t stop ppl to share audiotapes and CD...i had all roxette audiotapes than–off course–illegal..

What we have now -is some kind of silk curtain against the some eastern contries for example..-which is more strong than the iron one :-)

can someone explain me the politic of EMI??

some facts–other “stupid” companies sells here in Bulgaria legal CD for 6,5 EUR–even the new Eminem or Bon Jovi CD for example!!!

EMI don’t sell Roxette CD in the stores–you must ordered it for 15 EUR and wait month or more..

it doesn’t mean that roxette will sell half of Eminem Cd–it means that Roxette wouldn’t sell nothing at all,cos everybody will buy the other 2 cd ;-)!!

But that’s OK–i’m a fan and i’m ready to pay 22 eur for TPH-limited edition..but will buy it from official representative of EMI in Bulgaria..from official catalogue that EMI sends to Bulgaria.. i gave them the money and wait ..and wait..
and yestarday came e-mail...
“The pop hits-limited edition is limited edition.”
that’s all..no more explanations..

great .. how can i coudn’t notice that the limited edition is limited edition:-/////
the same thing with TBH-LE- they put it in the catalogue for march...
why they put it than?/

so..i wouldn’t OPEN this CD.. if depends on EMI.. ..never..

it’s not only me..for others contries isn’t avaible something else–for example i bought the Roxette DVD and send it to a friend 2000 km away...

is it normal??

lets hope that Santi is right..
i even think that after few years..the artist will sells their music via internet..cos in the end... we want to buy the music ..not to make richer some ppl from music companies that don’t care about us..

can someone tell me how much will take Marie and Per from this 22 Eur ..have in minds that TPH-LE cost 9 eur via internet..

sorry for this post maybe tomorow i will forget about it..and post something more optimistic;-))))

Being a fan does not mean being so anxious about the songs and then download them before they come out or to wait to buy the album ...please ... the important thing is the MUSIC when or how you get it’s totallu irrelevant to justify how much you love Roxette ... please
10 years ago no one could download anything and we were still Rox fans... so

i_jera said on March 20, 2003 19:20:

nopes.
1st - I know in which century we live... | =>
2nd - I AM kinda real fan, or I am not? O_o | =>
3rd - I can resist,yeah. I can. I don’t win anything.. | => BUT
4th - I know about the situation in BG too well | =>
5th - I’d love to hear the new songs now | =>

1st of all - to LEO - this all has nothing to do with what you may think.
then - we may live in 21th century , and everything gets more easier, or at least we like to believe it so... but after all, what’s wrong with some more living in the 90s ? ;)
Just because I can wait a little more, it doesn’t mean I’m not fan...
and - I do all that just for myself. just to be more excited when buying the CD, when seeing the booklet and when putting it in the CD player and playing it... Just to save the nice feeling of that I own that CD and I can listen it as many times as I want and I’m in my rights to do it. what’s THAT wrong with waiting, when I don’t make anybody wait, too? if you want, download the songs, it’s not me who has the right to mind that... it’s your decision. I also downloaded some songs, I didn’t wait fot the new songs of TBH, nor for ON. and I did it for myself. but now I decided to wait.
and what’s THAT wrong if you can resist? you can’t go say to your friends “I’ve just downloaded the newest ROX tune, it’s soo great!”? you are not fan? you ...? can’t you say to your friends “I’ve just bought the new ROX album, it is soo great!” ?? when Roxette is the band you like the most, how come you are not a fan anymore if you wait a week more to hear the new songs? I’m waiting, but that doesn’t mean I’m less interested in the songs than before, or in Roxette in general! I’d just be more excited when I get the CD.
and about the situation here (and in some other countries too) - I understand. If I wasn’t travelling thru the half of Europe (well, almost the half ;) in a week, I’d also download the songs now. if I had to wait month or so, no , excuse me, I cannot hold on that long ;)

Emil__BG said on March 20, 2003 20:34:

i repeat–i don’t said that you aren’t a fan–just think that you must understand others fans who want to listen the song as fast as posible..

but lets don’t quarrel about it.. i just try to explain why i’m downloading these song...
i respect you decision do not downloaded it...
and i want you to be sure that i will buy the TPH-LE -no matter how much will cost it to me..

the same way as i bought 6 TBH-LE CD and 6 TBH MC....and give it as a present to some ppl..

you can ask tevensso and i_jera about that:-))))

God bless the Internet,internet friends and TDR:-))

Santi said on March 20, 2003 21:01:

Neither did I say you all were not fans: “I wouldn’t call myself fan of Roxette”. I mean, as the sentence states “MYSELF”. I don’t know your situations or your likings, so how can I judge what are you? You can be all of you whatever you want to be, and I bet there are lots of Roxette fans that can’t afford buying the limited edition, simply cuz they don’t know when is out or don’t have the chance to get it in their country or even!... EVEN they do not have enough money to spend in that because the money they have is for more important things. But they love Roxette... even so I bet there are people that call themselves fans and love more their lives. I never wanted to doubt about your fanism... (I bet 90% of people around here is more fan than me anyway...).

Artist takes around 16% of the CD price :p

Santi said on March 20, 2003 21:23:

Aaahhhh... I wish I was so strong :)

Santi said on March 21, 2003 08:10:

If they made a whole new album we wouldn’t know 75% of the songs in it.
Besides, what about the magic of getting to listen to it BEFORE THE REST OF PEOPLE CAN DO IT????
For me that’s more magical than opening a cellophane and putting it in the CD player.

vaxjoe said on March 21, 2003 08:19:

U must be a masochist to wait for the cd since u can listen to the songs online

mimi said on March 21, 2003 13:14:

OK. So I’m not not a rox-fan because I don’t want to download these songs!!! Very funny. Actually I’m shirty that nowadays you can download songs which wern’t realised!!! Oh my... it’s 21century!!!

I WILL BE WAITING AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THESE SONGS!!!

BYE BYE ...

vivien said on March 21, 2003 15:06:

I agree in theory, but I just hate wait.... :)

poppy_head said on March 23, 2003 09:04:

Why are you always critisicing what others do??????
I’m not dowloading the new songs this time, but I did it before with TBH and RS, but this time I prefer to wait till Monday, but that’s my problem, and noone can say me a thing about it. If you want to download it, that’s ok to me, cos I don’t care, if you don’t, the same. Everyone should care about their own things!!!!

THERE’S NOTHING TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S LIFE!
